sayings you just hate

[The_Puppy_Prince]

Most nonsense uttered by people these days.

Answering a question with "Because I said so" or "Because I can" annoys the hell out of me, just give me the exact reason why.

Also, "No offense but, [insert something offensive here]" It makes me laugh when someone thinks that because they put "no offense" before their statement they can say whatever they like and the person won't care.

I hate
"Because i said so"
And?
Like what you say matters?
I feel like im getting orders from a drill Sargent

 

[Chased]

"Fair enough." Used way to often to end things when people are disagreeing, there is nothing fair about it.

 

[theSovietConnection]

"I could care less"

I'll let David Mitchell explain this one.

I'll be completely honest, for all the complaining about this one I see on here, I have never heard people say it. Maybe it's a US thing, though, but still, I have only ever heard people say "I couldn't care less."

Anyways, the only saying that really bothers me isn't exactly a saying. What drives me up the wall is when people either use a saying out of context to justify something, or when people quote someone with absolutely no expertise on the subject because he says something they agree with.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

"Why so grim?"
I'M NOT GRIM, THIS IS WHAT MY FACE LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE MUSCLES IN IT ARE RELAXED SO PLEASE, NICE GIRL, STOP ASKING THAT.
Thank you.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

"Same difference"

That's a saying contradicting itself!

 

[Towels]

I hate "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it must be a duck."

Inversely I do like "ASSUME just makes and Ass out of you and me."

 

[Thick]

The entire family of "not yourself."

You can't NOT be yourself.

 

[Kraegnac]

"Red sky at night, sailor's delight!". Stupid sailor's, they get everything!

This one has to do with the weather, as far as I can recall.

It goes "Red Sky at morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight."

I assume that a particularly red sunrise belies rough sailing, whereas a red sunset alludes to the opposite.

 

[Judgement101]

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

I know this has been said before, what what fucking good is cake I can't fucking eat? Fuck it. Keep your stupid cake. I hope it murders you in your sleep.

It means you can't have something good and keep it too.

OT:"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" No it doesn't, once the person has lost both their eyes it will be pretty damn hard for them to stab out your eyes.

You don't stab out the eye of the person who had an eye stabbed out.

How about this one then, Yo dog, I hear you like yo-yos dog so I put your dog on a yo-yo dog. wait.....thats not a saying nevermind.

 

[Eumersian]

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

I use it all the time?

For irony, that is.

 

[Kraegnac]

Something I observed in high school struck me as very odd and exceptionally annoying.

When one guy was insulting another guy, something often said was:

"You little gay-ass *****! Suck my dick!"


Now hang on. You're calling the OTHER guy gay, and then commanding that he stop what he's doing and blow you?

-.-

 

[Mydnyght]

"Do what?" when used in place of "Say again?", "Excuse me?", "Beg your pardon?", etc., etc., etc.

UNLESS, of course, it's in response to a command. That's the only time "Do what?" would be acceptable.

This is an example illustrating when saying "Do what?" is wrong:

ME: There's this new restaurant a few blocks from here.
YOU: Do what?
(Then in my mind, I'd facepalm and think, "I didn't give you a command, you stupid piece of fucking shit!!!")

Now, what I REALLY hate about that phrase is, it seems all kinds of people say it. Not just the young people, but oldsters too. Ugh, I swear to God, the U.S. is overusing the wrong way to say, "Do what?" >______<

 

[Pegghead]

"Where theres a will theres a way!" NOOOOO ITS SO WRONG!!! HERE IS IT'S ACTUALLY PHRASE! "Where theres a WHIP theres a way"
-Snip-

It's funny, the original phrase (when there's a will there's a way) originated as a double entendre from the days in England when you were required to produce your will to travel in a stagecoach.

OT: One that I should hate is "You can't have protection every time you slap on a condom". My friend said it constantly (He said it came from that film "Burn after reading") and now I can't stop saying it, it's rude and it doesn't make any bloody sense.

 

[Calico93]

"I could care less"

I'll let David Mitchell explain this one.

I find David Mitchell brilliant, hes genius whilst being hilarious at the same time.

OT
"well you know..."
in most cases I sincerely do NOT know whatever they were implying.
Bit frustrating at times.
"Life is short" - from a human perspective, no it fucking isn't.

 

[OceanRunner]

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

I know this has been said before, what what fucking good is cake I can't fucking eat? Fuck it. Keep your stupid cake. I hope it murders you in your sleep.

Yahtzee brought this up in one of his videos, and I agree, it makes no sense.

 

[Vromnir]

"You know what I always say," followed by something that THEY HAVE NEVER SAID.

 

[hurfdurp]

"Red sky at night, sailor's delight!". Stupid sailor's, they get everything!

This one has to do with the weather, as far as I can recall.

It goes "Red Sky at morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight."

I assume that a particularly red sunrise belies rough sailing, whereas a red sunset alludes to the opposite.

I was jok-, oh nevermind.

 

[Narclaw]

"break a leg"

Seriously, what in the fuck does that have to do with anything? A simple "get moving" or "hop to it" or even "chop chop" would suffice. Kind of personal matter to me, as I hate broken bones. I could watch someone get his/her throat cut, but broken bones make me shiver.

 

[SlyderEST]

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

I know this has been said before, what what fucking good is cake I can't fucking eat? Fuck it. Keep your stupid cake. I hope it murders you in your sleep.

The cake is a lie!

OT: Um... Idunno. Guess the closest thing I can get to is "Can I come play GTAIV at your place?" Now that I think of it, it was annoying.

EDIT:

"Fair enough." Used way to often to end things when people are disagreeing, there is nothing fair about it.

I use something like that to end arguments I'm losing. Mostly just "Whatever", though. Sue me.
