Particularly when they're not really brutal just petty and are as honest as a reality show is real.

Usually means "I'm a snarky bitch and every one dislikes me because I don't know how to shut the hell up."

The "brutally honest" thread that's up right now is the first one I've read (I usually don't read recruitment threads), but just seeing the phrase pisses me off lol

One I heard all throughout my seven years of living in Michigan, and despise to this day: "yous guys." Seriously, what is that? Who decided that "you" needs a plural form?
Another one that gets on my nerves is "all y'all." I say y'all myself so I shouldn't complain but all y'all just seems needlessly repetitive.

Well actually a lot of languages have a second person plural, though English doesn't. So the immigrants decided to create one.

Where in Michigan did you live? I lived in Michigan for 25 years and have never heard anyone say 'yous guys'.

"I've already done this before."
Yes, the fact that you have "already done this" implies that you have done this "before." Knock it off!

I've lived here for 46 years and never heard someone say yous guys. It's "You guys" or "you people" usually.

Typical translation: I just want to say mean things about chapters under the guise of a code because it's fun.
Or I just feel like making stuff up.

I cringe when I hear someone say "I love him to death" or "I love her to pieces."
These phrases just sound so unstable to me.

"On Some Serious Ish"... hated it!
"Yo Son"... been female since birth
"Tell me why..." I can't. Sorry.

Ok, the more I see this in recruitment threads the more I cringe. One joins a CHAPTER, not a HOUSE. A house is a physical structure that the chapter resides in. A Chapter is a group of women who go to the same college and are in the same sorority. I realize at schools where the chapters have houses everybody calls the chapters "houses" instead, but it's a pet peeve of mind and it makes me nuts when I read it. Chapter, not House.

Ditto! I remember getting a list of correct Greek terms (recruitment vs. rush, new member vs. pledge, etc) and it included "chapter" vs. "house". This was at an officer training session (or something like it) that was combined with other Kappa chapters that DO have houses, so it didn't make sense to me at the time.
