Words/phrases you never want to hear again

[NutBrnHair]

I thought I would scream if I heard one more time my twenty-year-old niece say to her eighty-year-old grandmother:

It's all good.

"for real?"

my grandfather says this and then he just laughs and laughs.....thinks he's "in" or something.

example:
"grandpa, this is the never-ending football game"
"for REAL? hahaha"

HI-C. I mean, everyone knows I am better. Who doesn't love KOOL-AID?

[LightBulb]

"Get over it!"
That is so smarmy; I can't stand it!

I also hate the
"we r 2 kewl 4 u"
typing. I can stand 1337; it's fun sometimes, but randomly changing a two-letter word to a number is not. It's just irritating.

Folk who interchange accept for except. "I cannot except this item" Morons.

One thing that drives me up the wall is when people say "irregardless". WTF? THAT IS NOT A WORD!!!!!
Also, when people speak spanglish. For goodness sakes, pick one language and then speak.

Awww...but air quotes are so much fun...

Also, I hadnt seen the first set of comments on the word irregardless, but obviously i agree!!

All these colloquiolisms (sp?) for breasts and genitals. Pick one slang term for each body part and stick with it.

The anatomical slang I particularly hate:

Breasts: Boobs (sounds so juvenile), jugs, knockers, rack (some guy told me that [this particular woman] got a great rack on her, and I literally didn't know what the heck he was talking about). BTW, I am a black guy and I don't know of too many brothers who use the term "rack" to describe breasts. However, for bedroom talk, I use and find the term t*ts or ti**ies acceptable.

Penis: C*ck, pee-pee, wang-wang, 3rd leg, Johnson, love log, meat, joint (what the heck is with all the nicknames). Again, for bedroom talk, I find the word d*ck (or Richard) acceptable.

Vagina: tw*t, beaver (I heard Beaver College in PA literally had to change its name in part b/c of its anatomical inference), cu*t, coochie (sounds ghetto), cooter (that is a Dukes of Hazzard character and should remain that way). For bedroom talk, pu**y is acceptable.

I say all that to say that at least when it comes down to making love and talking and chatting, you don't have to sound like an MD in the bedroom, but IMHO too many slang terms spoil the mood.

More later...

Here are some random ones...

The folk who use foreign phrases in their everyday talk, whom I call the "Moi/Ciao crowd"

Ex.: if you accuse someone of doing something they shouldn't have, they respond by, "Who, Moi?" Or, when they leave, they say, "Ciao", "Arrivederci", "Hasta la vista", or "Bon Voyage".

Other annoying foreign/pseudo-foreign phrases include "Exactamundo", "[insert verb here]-vous", ie "standay-vous" (read: You stand).

And of course the now-played-out Lady Marmelade song chorus "Voulez-vous couchet avec moi se soir" (Would you like to sleep with me tonight?).

Some other phrases:

Just a tad - sounds insincere

That's a no-no - WTFreak? That is THE most condescending phrase I have ever heard. What's next, you gonna send me to bed with no yummy in my tummy?

You hear what I am saying? - What is this, a fricking Belltone/Miracle Ear commercial? I hear you just fine. Here's one for you. EAT SNOT! Did you hear what I am saying

Short version - One of my former employers used to say that to me all the time when he didn't want to hear a long, drawn-out story. Even before I had something to tell him, he would say, "Short version". OK, FLIP OFF, is that short enough for you?

And here's a word I am sure a lot of folk here are tired of hearing:

BIOTCH!!

Lemme give you the origin of that word, which dates back almost 30 years:

The term was coined by Rudy Ray Moore, aka Dolemite, a 70s blaxploitation movie star and "The Godfather of Rap". He would use that term in his stand-up and movies.

Ex. in the Human Tornado (1976), Dolemite was caught in bed with a white women. The white woman panicked and said, "He made me do it". Dolemite replied, "Biotch, are you for real??!!"

In his stand up movie Rude (1982), Dolemite used this term very frequently in his routine, only more exaggerated, ie (biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiotch).

Well, while Snoop Dogg is probably more so credited with coining the term, it should noted that he was a major Dolemite fan, and even said that he saw the Human Tornado at least 300 times. Having been a protege of N.W.A., who also used that term in their album Efil4zaggin in a filler song called "Automoble", their rebellious nature in their song material left a cult following, and with the pervasiveness of rap music going mainstream, needless to say, the rest is history.

Hope this helps demonstrate that this word isn't nearly as "new" as we think it is.

Kiss him the next time he says that. Then tell him you like him. Or just tell him...whatever girls do. Let him know you like him.
