I hate that saying

[ultrachicken]

"I could care less" meaning "I don't care at all"

Well, if you could care less, that means that you do, in fact, care.

I usually hear it as "I couldn't care less."

 

[ContemporaryStudent]

"You're such a nice guy"

This.

Along with "Six of one, half a dozen of the other", and "LOL Jk". The latter is nails down a chalkboard for me.

 

[ultrachicken]

"I've lost my faith in humanity..."

No you haven't, you don't know what you're talking about.

This. This. A thousand times this.
Every time I hear this phrase I'm ready to tear out the offender's eyeballs.
First of all: losing faith in humanity includes yourself, which I doubt you've done. Second: who are you to judge 7 billion people? Third: Humanity has always been like this, it's not like suddenly the entire world went to shit.

"Get a life" or "You have no life." etc.

Could you please be more specific? No social life? No pulse, thus making me a zombie? Actually don't tell me. Just come up with a better fucking insult that can actually be based on something!

Recent example, my dad is a fan of Glee and he was watching a youtube video of on- SPEAK OF THE DEVIL! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNHTCglQ_Wk

For those who don't click that, the second highest rated comment is "the 2 people who disliked this video have no lives :/" (even though it's much higher then two now) The best part of that is ONE HUNDRED AND TWO people agree with that. Fucking Nazis. Almost as bad as Twi-zis.

Irregardless.
ITS NOT A REAL WORD.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless

Uh... it is according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Well technically I suppose it is. But, it is a double negative which makes it not a word. Just because some Italian guy from a show says it doesn't make it a word.

"The customer is always right"

That is not right, I think that the workers on the store knows much more about how the store works etc than a customer at the store :]

When all the teenagers call eachother 'gimp'. I'm 14 and it I don't understand what they mean, as gimp doesn't fit into any non-sexual context. I just assume they mean an actual gimp, like the one from Pulp Fiction, but I still don't know what it means. Will someone please elaborate?

a derrogatory term for someone that is disabled or has a medicial problem that results in physical impairment. (2) An insult implying that someone is incompetent, stupid, etc. Can also be used to imply that the person is uncool or can't/won't do what everyone else is doing. (3) A sex slave or submissive, usually male, as popularlized by the movie Pulp Fiction.

It's a scientific phrase. A scientific proof is a document compiling all the information on a given experimental procedure. The hypothesis, the test, the materials needed, the method, the kind of results and how the interpret the data. The proof would be presented to other scientists who would then try and break the experiment any way they can. If they find something that shows the experiment isn't consistent enough of many tests then it is rejected, if they can't it becomes an accepted theorem.

Later on with new information, technology and techniques old information is revisited and a new crop of scientists try to break the experiment again. If these new circumstances showed that the experiment is unsound it would be declared "The exception that proofs the rule" and it would be rejected and the whole idea rethought. In essence the rule is wrong so we need to remake it, not the rule is always right except for that one thing.

Hmmm, I had this explained to me in an equally valid sounding manner that's kind of different.

A sign that says "parking prohibited on Sundays" (the exception) "proves" that parking is allowed on the other six days of the week (the rule).

Along with "Six of one, half a dozen of the other",

I actually like this saying, it means that both parties/reasons/statements although sound different are basically the same.

 

[minimacker]

'Same difference'.

It makes.
No.
Sense.

It pisses me off so bad.

Stupid Kuro...

 

[Flames66]

'To each his own.' Nope, just accept that your method is wrong, and mine is correct

"Its Just My Opinion, To Each Their Own" - There are many reasons this is incorrect.

Now this is just my opinion, but I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If I disagree with you, I'm not going to change my opinion to suit you unless you fully convince me that yours is correct. This is not possible with anything accept tangible facts, and even those are open to interpretation.

Everything I have said is my opinion on the matter and I don't claim it to be fact. If you disagree then to each his own.

'Same difference'.

It makes.
No.

Well it sorta does, like the differnce in a triangle and a rectangle to a circle is the fact that they have more than one side. Therefore they have the same differnece .


Anyways on topic mines is "I COULD care less" as this means that the person must already care to some extent and what they really mean is "I COULDN'T care less".

Blimey, I hope these are accurate rumors!

[sub]I ran out of oxymorons right about there, so I'm gonna stop[/sub]

OT: Answering the phone saying "Yeah, hello" so fast it sounds like "Yellow?"

This is really off topic but anyways, one of my friends answers the phone saying "Ah Hoy Hoy" and i just heard last night that the word "hello" was invited just so that people would have something to say to each other to start a conversion on the telephone. At the same time they were trying to introduce "Ah Hoi Hoi" as the same thing. So next time your on the phone just think that everyone good be going around saying "Ah Hoi Hoi" as opposed to "hello".

(Sorry for being off topic, i just found this interesting cause I'm a nerd)

Argh, oxymorons are the worst kinds in the world.

"The Lord works in mysterious ways" is a massive copout. If christians can't explain something then they just fall back on that

This.

Or when someone thanks God for something that was done by a person. For example, the episode of Scrubs where Doctor Cox's sister prays with a family then the medicine finally starts working. Cox asks her to admit that medicine made the man better, she agrees then adds "Thank god for creating medicine." because you know, the hard work of people isn't really theirs, it's gods.

I've had people say that about a few things and it just annoys the hell outta me.

I totally agree. Why is it so hard for these people to just thank other human beings for help? For example: You could say "Thank God I passed my exam" or you could give yourself a pat on the back for doing well, a bit of self-confidence might help you more than thanking your god

When I say thank god im talking about myself.

OT: 'It's a free country' annoys me, people that use the phrase tend to do so after someone has told them to stop doing something because it's annoying.

If it's such a free country I think I have the freedom to tell you to stop being a wanker.

 

[Fraught]

Irregardless.
ITS NOT A REAL WORD.

And i'm going to use it Irregardless of what you say!

Why not use regardless here? Sounds much better, and more natural.

Also, the phrase I hate most is "I could care less", and especially when people insist it's correct.

Makes you wanna kill a man, y'know?

Also, it's cleverly referenced in the simpsons, as Mr. Burns says "Ah hoi hoi" whenever he answers a telephone, to show how old he is.
Remember when the Simpsons was subtle? *Stares wistfully into the distance*
