Phrases you hate...

Big thumbs down on "pro-active".
Hate hate hate it.

What does he "bring to the table"?
Hate that one too.

All mindless utterances from mindless mid-level managers can go, too.

verbs/verb phrases!! touches on, informed by - esp. when I resort to using them!!!

My boss says "decant" when he means "put out the Japanese porn we just got". I know he tries, but you just can't make that classy

!!!Donna please tell me that was not a typo.

I wish I could stop myself from saying "I hear ya" whenever I'm trying hard not to convey that I either really don't give a shit about what the person is saying or just feel uncomfortable.

As much as I hate that I do it, I admit I use "it's all good" sometimes. But know that when I do, behind my eyes the real me is screaming "NO IT ISN'T, IT IS ALL GOING HORRIBLY WRONG AND I AM TOO PASSIVE TO KICK UP A FUSS SO I WILL JUST BE NICE AND A DOORMAT K"

Ugh.

ooh, I hate 'it's all good'. (It's not you, Trayce, it's me)
No, my boss totally says "I need you to decant H*usewives at Pl*y:King Sized Special". Awesome

:o

I want your job!

never a good time whenever i hear "you have the right to remain silent. if you give up that right, anything you say may be used against you in a court..."

never good.

T, you say that now :)

i hate when people refer to a group of women as "ladies". particularly when i'm part of that group.

tho i guess that's not really a phrase ?

that's like a nutty zing wrapped in gentleman chocolate

I still wonder wtf it was/is Donna did to have a boss gettin' out the japanese porn as part of the day's routine. Sex shop or something?

Yeah, there's a bit of mystery around that isn't there?

Diarrhea of the mouth

gross, just gross

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.
