Phrases and words that just have to go.

[JEBWrench]

Cool beans. Unless somebody can tell me some adorable story about how this abortion of a phrase came to be, just stop it. Stop it right now.

I recently pointed my distaste of this phrase out to my wife. True story.

Other phrases that can go the way of the archaeopteryx:
My bad.
Chillax.

And since I'm from the Midwest:
"Wal-Marx".
Jesus. H. Christ. People say that. TONS of them. "WAL-MARX". How the fuck does that even happen?!

I'm one of those people who say acronyms in rl, but its more ftlulz than anything else. Bl noob, gl with life.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Use of the word 'literally' in a context where the event could not actually have transpired.

Or, in normal English, when someone says something like 'And he literally exploded!'. No. Unless the person to whom you are referring has just spontaneously combusted, chances are they have not literally exploded at all.

 

[MarsKitagawa]

"your" No, not your possessive. Your pretending it can be you are. The only way to screw this up is to NOT READ. The words are as different as night and day. Of course, there for their and to for too also fall into this category. But always with the your. Apostrophes DO NOT take any extra effort to type.

THANK YOU! I have been telling this to my friend for ages now, and he just does not get that it drives me crazy to have him saying "your coming over later, right?" or some other thing... he (and many others I see online) also can't figure out not to use "cant" "wont" "doesnt" "shes" "hes"... the list goes on and on... but I think the thing that makes me most annoyed is when people can't hold down the shift key for one frigging second to type "I" instead of "i". It literally hurts my eyes to try to read a sentence where the writer constantly doesn't capitalize their personal pronouns... "yesterday i hopped on my bike, but then i ran into the garbage and my mom said im not cleaning this up!" grrrrr.

"for all intensive purposes"

It's all intents and purposes! Ugh!

Also: "I need a bit of rest bite"

It's respite! Goddamn people are stupid sometimes.

Yes cool beans is very annoying, personally I prefer the phrase "fuck beans!" in order to convey anger/annoyance will ferrel is awesome.

I also hate it when you're feeling miserable about something and people, without knowing what you are miserable about, have the nerve to come up to you and say "cheer up, it might never happen"....you MORON! I'm miserbale because it already DID happen!!!

 

[Biosophilogical]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and I'll continue screaming it with my final breath;

WEDNESDAY.

Either spell it like it's pronounced or pronounce it like it's spelled, but fer chrissakes, get on the same page. I mean, How in the fuck did it make it this long, as a day of the week no less, and no one else notice this fuck up?

Have I mentioned I love your avatar? It's like, if childish wonder fell into a cake made of paint which was made of happiness, then the whole thing was put through an exploding wood-chipper which exploded onto this website ... in a good way.

OT: 'Gay', but used wrongly as an adjective for inanimate objects or non-sexual actions ... or as an insult. Seriously, this whole 'Homophobia is cool' thing is giving me the shits (I'm Straight by the way (as far as I can tell)).

 

[Mr. Mike]

I have this English friend who moved to Australia a year ago. She always says, "I'm sat down."

The tenses! This sentence has one too many!

Seriously, I can't wrap my head around how she can say this without a grammar alert going off in her mind and smacking her.

Wall-Marx? What?

In real life, when someone uses "noob", typically interjected with many other acronyms from the internet.

"LUL, JOO NOOB YOU DONT GOT THIS THING THAT'S SO TRENDY EPIC FAIL"

Oh, and the cunts that use the three letter synonym for cigarettes as an insult. That's as bad as the N-word people.

 

[JEBWrench]

Wall-Marx? What?

God help me, I wish I were joking. But no, there is a significant portion of the population here that refers to a certain mega-giant everything store as "Wal-Marx".

I can't even begin to fathom how that started, considering that the letter "T" is written, along with the rest of the name of the store, in giant letters on the front of the building that you can see damn-near from space.

I like fun. What can I say?

Other than thanks, of course. ^_^

 

[Cheesebob]

Oh my days!

For all intensive purposes, this is how language is evolving, like chillax bro!

 

[asinann]

I hate the word "supper." It's an insipid-sounding alternative to Dinner.

Dinner is what old people called lunch, and supper was dinner because dinner can't be both meals.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Oh my god, like, sixteen year old girls, like, talking like this, like all the time. And oh my god, like, they don't seem to know what they're like going to say and so they like fill in all the gaps.

Be right back, fetching my shotgun.

Aha! Ever seen the House M.D. Valley girl sketches? Cuddy and Cameron start talking like that using medical terms and such... I found it quite funny.

 

[jesse.]

when people say bestie or devo.......... I die inside so much

 

[fenrizz]

No words or phrases should go.

The "hip" phrases and words will fade eventually, with new generations.
The language will evovle naturally, wether you like it or not.

Anyone who uses the North American Southern slang is asking to be chainsaw'd in the middle of the night.

That's been happening more and more lately. I hate it.

For me, my most hated is using "beast" as an adjective. I hear annoying teenagers say it all the time "Dude, that is beast!" Shut the **** up! Augh!

My teenage cousin says "lawl" in place of laughter. God. Damn. It's. Annoying. My head literally explodes.

 

[SimuLord]

The phrase "you need to..." especially when it's followed by a thoroughly inane request.

I NEED to eat, drink, breathe, and shit. I don't NEED to do what you're asking me to do. And if it IS an obligation? Whatever happened to "you must..." or "you have to..." or even "You, do this." "You need to" is a pretty damn fine placeholder for our "needy" fucking society, and I hate the phrase.
