Phrases you hate...

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.

"Does what it says on the tin", when some british dude thinks the subject line of his forum post is sufficient and that he doesn't have to put anything in the body. Obviously no one does this on ILX, but it's surprisingly common on other random forums (like those related to fixing computer problems). It sets my teeth on edge!

"Don't pour your beer down the drain - that's alcohol abuse!"
"Oops, I spilled my beer - guess I've got a drinking problem."

Fuck you seriously.

I hate the Brit slang 'mentalist' and 'mentalism'. People always say it with one of those look-I'm-being-funny smirks on their faces too, which really makes you want to punch them.

"don't hate the player,hate the game"

can't stand this stupid shit

Its basically "love the sinner, not the sin" dressed up for guidos.

'it's all good'

'no worries'

"wow. just...wow."

wow. just...wow.

"b-b-b-but" which seems to be really popular on ilx :(

b-b-b-but

;_;

when an acquaintance leaves a note for you on facebook or email after not having been in contact for a long period of time, and ends with "hope all is well" or "hope you are well"

yeah those well-wishers are such assholes

ehh it's always like "hey [I want/need you to do something]. hope you are well."

for zvookster:

B-b-but jungle is music!

This Altern 8 guy was otm back in the 05

Just a couple of words...

"Yup" makes me think of every dork in high school I didn't want to hang out with. Same people who say "b-b-b-but..."

"Well..." pronounced "wool" subtracts two levels of social class straight away.

Yeah, I was saying "yup" for a while as a replacement for "your welcome."

"Thank you."
"Yup."

Realized for myself that it was a really annoying habit.

"Well..." pronounced "wool" subtracts two levels of social class straight away.

This, on the other hand: fuck off and don't come back to Baltimore.

pretty much any phrase involving the word fart, especially when used by my annoying coworker.

"i had a brain fart"

or

"we were just fiddle-fartin' around"

makes me cringe every time.

I'll stand w you on that, for some reason I really hate the word "fart" and people's willingness to use it for things totally un-gas-related.

'tickety boo'

people who overuse 'veritable' and 'veritably'

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?

nomany = now many (Duh! how did that happen?)

forwards, not backwards, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling...!

"Well..." pronounced "wool" subtracts two levels of social class straight away.

fu

i don't think i pronounce it that way but still...what?

"I love FREEDOM" Doesn't being vague make you feel all proud?

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".
