Phrases you hate...

ok i just realized i might actually say "wool" irl

"wow. just...wow."

See also "What? I dont even" and "Can I just" and so on.

Not that I mind any of em, they just seem to have asploded like warts online lately.

"Thanks in advance for...." because every motherfucking time I see those words in an email, it usually always precedes something I absolutely either don't want to do, said I wouldn't have time to do, and often never agreed to do, and likely got ratfucked into doing.

also: "If you <insert activity> then the terrorists win". It's old and it wasn't all that funny to begin with.

"I just threw up in my mouth a little" - it's what 15 year olds say when they want to be funny but don't have the creativity to be....

the overuse of 'basically'

I do that when I lost my train of thought.....

I did throw up in my mouth a little bit this morning. I busted into the mens' room and spit it out into the urinal, because the sink would be wrong, and some guy was just coming out of the stall.

I felt better afterward and ate some tangerines.

haha @ estela upthread. roxy is cool as fuck obv.

"Threw up in my mouth a little bit" was on spongebob last night. I sure hope it doesn't catch on with my kid.

same with "I laughed so hard a little bit of wee came out", people should never ever say this again, yes I'm looking at you Davina McCall and Claudia Winkelman.

Both the mouth throwing up, and the wee making laughter lines *might* have me laugh the first time I heard them, but that was at least FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. Per Cattle Grind, you might want to up the ante and think of a new way to share these universal emotions...

"full of win"

"full of fail"

"____ fail"

fuck you seriously

I'm starting to get fed up with "jumped the shark", especially when it's just a synonym for "isn't quite as good as it used to be" or "is exactly as good as it used to be, I'm just bored of it".

"Yup" makes me think of every dork in high school I didn't want to hang out with.

Aisha Tyler's character on the animated show "Archer" uses this and it is hilarious.

"My bad" <--------- where and when and how did this happen?

this has been around for a while - presumably just netspeak that's crept into everyday speech.

it's from america dog latin

People used to write "in future", nomany, marketing types usually, write...

"Going forward"

No, fuck off, of course its going forward you fool, which other way could it possibly be going?

morelike 'moving forward'

co-workers will call u out on 'moving forward'

"My bad" goes back to at least 1992. One of those things I made fun of people enough for saying and it wormed its way into my vocabulary.

"that's what she said."

hate, hate, HATE THIS!

that's what she said

"My bad" <--------- where and when and how did this happen?

serious LOLS at bewilderment @ "my bad". Don't worry brits, I just learned "taking the mickey" the other day.

Does that have something to do with Mickey Finn?

something about getting a belly button ring, iirc.

"everything happens for a reason". I've seen this dropped no less than 25 times in the last few months, usually after a tragedy.

You know what ? I don't fucking believe everything happens for a reason. If someone close to me dies, I don't want to hear how it was God's master plan and how it's going to even out in the end because it isn't. Life is random*, which is why the bullshit that happens to people is not evenly distributed.

*with the caveat that people do have control over many things that happen to them, just not all.

"i'm just throwing it out there"

"i'm not going to lie..."

guy in work says this constantly and i've started copying him :(

"there are other fishies in the sea". I'm not really interested in having sex with aquatic life

"kindle app"

"Lovely little boozer"

"a cheeky pint"

"It is easier to ask forgiveness than get permission."

"cheeky" anything is satanic

I don't know, I think of this LJ sentence nearly every time I take a photo: "Moreover, how could I resist one of my peers requesting me to uncork my blingiest pose for a cheeky snap or two?"

^^a phrase I don't hate fwiw

I associate it with laddish bullshit stories in FHM; "Me and this accounts bird were having a cheeky shag in the bogs at work, when..."

As an American person, I pretty much only associate it with Thomas the Tank Engine. One or another of those trains was always being cheeky.

"A little ____ never hurt anybody" (which is only said about the things that have very definitely hurt people)

Also, I loathe corporate speak
"touch base with"
"reach out to"
"I would be interested in discussing"
