Black Friday.
Most people saying it have no idea what it even means. Plus I think Steely Dan should get royalties for its overuse, and they're not.

I'm quite aware of that. I was being facetious.

I don't know if this has been said but a phrase used a LOT by some people I follow on twitter (and will probably stop because its driving me insane) is "Sorry I'm not sorry".

I HATE "needless to say". If something is needless to say, then don't say it.

This is more of a cyber thing, but I hate it when I make a comment about something that's based on my opinion, and then someone goes "you do know.......right?" -and on top of that, they already know the answer to their own stupid question.

You do know that if this ^^ and other snarky commentary were prohibited, GC would be empty of traffic in like, 5 minutes. You do know this...right?

I've recently noticed several tv commercials using "funnest" or "funner." This annoys me no end.

"More better." That is NEVER okay. Not even as a joke. I've only heard it used as a joke one time when it was actually funny and it was about 15 years ago.
Also, things that have proper names but are given totally improper names instead. See "wife beater" and "pimp hand."

^^"Backhand."
And there's a big difference between "mo' betta" in slang and "More better" in an educational setting!
