Overused phrases/words

[AOX81]

For me I'm bad about saying "let me just tell you..."

My friend overuses "I know!" and "sweet ass"

And I cringe when I hear someone say "whatever" in a snotty voice.

[White_Chocolate]

After reading the list, I must add more. . .

hellafied (description word. . .meaning a lot)
and you're telling me this because
how 'bout. . .
and see what had happened was (argh, can i shoot someone now)
pretty fly
sumthin' sumthin' (guilty)
forget about it (only like you're in a Mafia movie)
yada-yada
oy
something-or-other (what does that mean?)
how typical
mmmm. . .k
down ass chick (a recent frat boy term)
yuppie (i was called this recently)
is this really necessary. . .
i'm thinking. . .uh, no!
Hell Yeah!
Wazzzup! (people, the Budweiser commercial has run its course)


and that's just to name a few. . .

[chideltjen]

...and whatnot (always saying instead of etc, and so on...)

Delt Alum - I am a frequent user of "And I was like..."

Four letter words also pop out of my mouth more often than i would like them to.

"something like that" (when i chose to be vague )

[Dionysus]

Coming from guys:
"Whacho name ilz?"
"Psssssst...hey girl....hey girl!"
"Do you like pop tarts? My favorite is cherry"

[Starlet]

Annoying:
"So like"
"Hey hon"
"That's tight"
"cool beans"

Things I say:
"How random"
"That's so sketchy"
"Riiiight"
"But seriously"
"Scandalous"

What are biznitches and shiznits?

[SATX*APhi]

Words I overuse:

Riiiight (Starlet, that's MY word! )
Ruthless
Wow
Like
Ay ya yai
Uh huh
I also have a major issue saying four- lettered words and the like (Not anything I am proud of)

[CutiePie2000]

1) "Thinking outside the box"....ARGH!!

Can we please "think outside the box" and come up with a new phrase, because this one makes me want to tear my hair out (and I don't think I would suit being bald).

2) The overuse of the term "solutions"...
I know of a company who sells "warehousing solutions"...get over it, people, you sell warehouse DOORS....argh!!

[White_Chocolate]

I think this starts going into the commercials slogans
People at work are always trying incorporate commercial slogans, store slogans, etc into every day conversations. . .
Some are cool. . .some I just want to say 'just shut up'

Other annoying examples. . .

Just what the doctor ordered
young jedi (i swear with every star wars release)
-friendly (they put some other word in front)

This commercial is a classic. "Eh you dookie, pick up the phone" will live in our hearts forever.


-Well I know she knows it's not right, there ain't no use in lyin'-

[sororitygirl2]

Can't remember if I answered this one yet, but I don't want to look back and see.

Anyway, because I work in the corporate world... I can't stand to hear:

"reinvent the wheel"
"latest and greatest"
"think outside the box"

and anything of the like.

[DeltaSigStan]

I live in a world of apathy, and I am SICK AND F*CKING TIRED OF THE FOLLOWING PHRASES:

I Don't Care

Whatever

I'm Over It

I hear "I'm over it" for stuff they're not even involved with! Everytime I bring something up, I hear one of those words, it's like I KNOW you don't care, I just want your opinion.

Sorry guys, I'm just sick of people not caring about anything.

I don't know about anyone else from Massachusetts, but I am so guilty of saying "wicked" ALL THE TIME.

Me too!! But then I went to school in Ohio and I got made fun of so bad for saying it, so I somehow managed to stop. Now that I'm living in Boston again, I notice myself saying it every now and then.

[Cluey]

Phrases I hate...

Anything like shizzle, biznitch, biznass.

Dope.

Fo' Sho' (for sure)

Curse words being used every other word. There is a reason there are quite a few different words in the English language.
(Example: And I was like *bleep* you, you *bleep* *bleep*!)

Wazzzup!

You best recognize.

Frickin' A!

Phrases I use... (all the time)...

"Ummm.. Yeah... "
Yes, from Office Space! It's become my latest retort to my students whenever they want to argue about something.

"You know what I mean?"
I hate having to go back track through a complete story to get someone to understand where I am coming from, so I now randomly throw this in every once and a while to see if people are following along.

"Hello! McFly!"
Again, it's a student retort.

"Da da da da da"
I don't say yada, yada, yada. I use this instead, which usually takes some people time to get used to for some reason.

I am also a frequent abuser of the "And I was like... " It's a Florida thing.

[Betarulz!]

Annoying:

It's like deja vu all over again (used by my organic chemistry professor no less than 12 times on Monday morning)

Boo Yah, Grandma! (one kid in our house says it all the time)

Brew (used in place of beers plural...just annoys me)


Things I say all the time:

"holla!"

What's Crackin'?

good at life/suck at life...as in if I do something good I'll say "I'm good at life" or if someone screws up "Man, you suck at life"
