sayings you just hate

[Generic_Dave]

I hate "Cold hands warm heart"! It's not true! Cold hands = low circulation! Either that or it's cold outside...

Also my gran used to say if you always had cold hands and feet you had no soul...looking back I would agree that everyone gets cold so no-one has a soul...but it used to bother me as a child.

"Been there, done that"

Makes me want to fucking kill someone.

Is there a saying you hate. is it because it is stupid, out of date or just doesn't make sense. well then start ranting for I will find it amusing hahahahaha.

I hate the saying 'there is no smoke without fire' because people use it just to defend gossip
e.g.
"John funk is actually a satanic unicorn that is trying to take over the world"
"that's a lie"
"there's no smoke without fire"

Your hate is righteous, but you forgot to name one reason: It's not true. Aren't there smoke machines around that can create smoke without putting stuff on fire?

"Its in the last place I looked" well of course dumbass, if you found it and kept looking you would have some problems, so whenever you lose something and have to find it, its always going to be in the last place.

"If a cat lays kittens in an oven, it don't make them biscuits".
It's actually a phrase from Frazier hehe.

"The pen is mightier than the sword". I have always hated that, but it makes more sense now than before.
As I understand it means something like knowledge is more powerful than violence? or something? However, a pen doesn't do sh*t.
However 1.1, a USB pen does hold information, so it can be used accordingly.

The phrase should be updated to "The USB pen is mightier than the sword".

'Same difference'.

It. Makes. No. Sense. RARGH!

You use same difference when 2 things are so a like they are more or less the same thing with 2 names.

Eg. Are you living in a flat. No I'm living in an apartment.

"I could care less"

I'll let David Mitchell explain this one.

This was awesome. Thank you. Its actually what I was gunna say.

 

[Berethond]

what are you going to do that is longer?

Be dead. Death is way longer than life.

'Same difference'.

It. Makes. No. Sense. RARGH!

Well, it kind of makes sense.

Like:
"A cucumber"
"No, that's a courgette"
"Same difference"
They both share their difference from being, say, a tomato.
Though I highly doubt that people who say it think about that.

When people say same difference I see it as them saying they have the same differences, which makes the saying utterly pointless imo.

'same different'

'that'l learn him'

' I could care less' (when they actually mean, I couldn't care less)

Yeah, you can say it about everything...

"I am Superman!"
"No, you're an elderly piece of pizza"
"Same difference!"

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

'irregardless'
SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK?
WHO USES THIS WORD?

 

[Steppin Razor]

"I could care less" tends to get me fired up when what the person actually means to say is "I couldn't care less". Stupid, stupid people.

One that quite pisses me off, because of the somewhat sexist use of the saying is: "A key that opens many locks is a master key. A lock that is opened by many keys is a shitty lock".
I absolutely hate that, because of how it is used by some bastards.

Ah yes, the whole retarded male thing where a guy sleeping around is awesome but a girl doing it instantly makes her some form of nasty slut. I've never heard that wording used before, but I hate it already.

"Same difference."

Also, maybe this is a southern US thing, but it bugs the hell out of me: "Must be gonna." "Oh, they must be gonna build a McDonald's there." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. STOP SAYING THAT! IT SOUNDS STUPID! WHY DON'T YOU USE SOMETHING NORMAL? Like "it looks like they're going to..." or "they're going to" or "seems like" or "appears as though" or something?

Spoiler: Holy crap, I love using this image

OT: It really irks me when people say things along the lines of:

" X is better than Y."

"Why?"

"I just is."

I mean, how ignorant can you be?

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."

It's MY cake and I'll do whatever I dam well please with it!

The meaning of that phrase is quite idiotic, but it still follows logical reasoning.

You can have your cake. Its on the table. You have it. But will you have your cake if you eat it? No. The cake is gone. So at least its a saying that makes sense... you can't do both things. Its impossible. Though once you think about it... whats the point of having a cake if you can't eat it? Cake isn't a permanent possession, like a couch: its meant to be used up.

'I could care less' would be my most hated saying, but someone beat me to it in a fantastic way.

"You only live once" grrrr that one boils my blood, now I can appreciate the sentiment behind it but so often I hear it used as justification for people doing rediculous things, like my friends telling me about some absurd crap they did over the weekend, when I try to point out to them that they acted like an utter ass, they respond with "You only live once"... and I just wanna hit them!.... and when they ask why, shrug and respond "You only live once"

Oh and I really dislike "No offence but..." because you just know when a scentance begins with that they are about to say something about you/against you/generally offensive but they assume by prefixing it with that it cancels out and they can get away with it, thats not how it works darn it!
