"solutions" when used as a business buzzword. Holy shit it makes me want to flip out I get so mad. And most other business buzzwords
"Could of/should of/would of". It's "x"ould've , ya dingbat.
When you tell people something they already knew and you didn't and they respond with, "What, you didn't know?" No shit, what did you think the surprised reaction was? My friends are huge offenders of this and it makes me want to snap their necks.
I've mentioned this one on Facepunch before, but I really hate people using the word 'addicting' when they mean 'addictive'. Apparently because of common usage they're technically interchangeable, but 'addicting' just sounds so wrong to me, like it's present participle rather than an adjective.
[QUOTE=mookie;43108334] "I'm just saying" [/QUOTE] It's like saying no offense except everyone knows that no offense is actually implying offense so people just started saying that instead.
;) Whenever I see this used, it's used by some asshole to be condescending.
i hate it when people say din din instead of dinner because they sound like morons but they do not realize it
[QUOTE=Chaplin;43117313]i hate it when people say din din instead of dinner because they sound like morons but they do not realize it[/QUOTE] Boy do I have a movie for you. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp2BU15aIGc[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4G6Cu3F3tg[/media]
[QUOTE=U.S.S.R;43118512]Boy do I have a movie for you. -snip-[/QUOTE] Man, I remember this film. Half and hour movie, but really tense.
[QUOTE=Chaplin;43117313]i hate it when people say din din instead of dinner because they sound like morons but they do not realize it[/QUOTE] i'm telling paradox you fuck
When people say just "diet" when referring to Diet Coke. Where I work, I take orders and pour drinks and it pisses me off on the inside when I ask what drink a customer wants and they say "diet." Really, are you that fucking lazy to not pronounce that extra syllable? I always have to end up asking them to clarify because we carry around five different diet drinks.
[QUOTE=Desuh;43094939]noone alot then (instead of than) u (instead of you) p. (instead of pretty as in pretty cool) lmao rofl xD :P ^^ o_O and all the other variants when people use tbh too often when people use "as fuck/hell/x" too often[/QUOTE] your right.
When people say "try and" instead of "try to." Pisses me off every time.
Meh. Sound more like "I don't give two shits, but I'm too lazy to say it."
Premium [quote]pre·mi·um (prm-m) n. 1. A prize or award. 2. Something offered free or at a reduced price as an inducement to buy something else. 3. A sum of money or bonus paid in addition to a regular price, salary, or other amount. 4. The amount paid, often in addition to the interest, to obtain a loan. 5. The amount paid or payable, often in installments, for an insurance policy. 6. The amount at which something is valued above its par or nominal value, as money or securities. 7.

[/quote] Its been pissing me off that Premium has become a buzzword for food stuff. Like, Mcdonalds calls their wraps "premium" wraps. It might just be me, but I don't consider 3 strips of soggy chicken and some wilted lettuce worthy of being called "premium".

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;43106669]"Badonkadonk". I've always disliked that word. I've finally figured out why, it's because it doesn't [B]sound[/B] like it means something. It just sounds like silly nonsense and not in a fun way. Also it gets stuck in my head easily. Also it reminds me of The Big Bang Theory and I'm not a fan of that show (or perceived "geeksploitation" in general).[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZozXCpPNO5c[/media] <3 u bb.

- any variant of 'privilege' - spelling 'plebeian' as 'plebian' but by far my most hated one is when people use 'gym' as a verb and not a noun for example: "when i was at gym the other day" goddamn you go TO the gym
[QUOTE=Pelican;43121370]- any variant of 'privilege' - spelling 'plebeian' as 'plebian' but by far my most hated one is when people use 'gym' as a verb and not a noun for example: "when i was at gym the other day" goddamn you go TO the gym[/QUOTE] in both examples, 'gym' is still used as a noun
Nope Hell/Heck no
"k" instead of "Okay" It feels like the person saying it is like "ugh whatever stop talking I don't give a shit" Also greentexting outside of 4chan makes you look like a tool.
[QUOTE=fritzel;43119860]your right.[/QUOTE] "Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt" Epic - Way to dilute the meaning of a word with overuse. Privilege - This has already been explained over and over in this thread Could care less - Are you this fucking stupid? Literally - This isn't a word for exaggeration, saying you literally died when X happened means you dropped dead on the spot. K - Could I get a vowel at least in your response?

[QUOTE=Kartoffel;43104680]Words used to label one's opposition piss me off. Shit like "homophobe", "racist", "bigot", etc... They're people too, and using cute little words to describe them doesn't make you better than them.[/QUOTE] no but their being homophobic racist bigots makes me better than them ;-)
"stop touching me" "no not there" "who's that man in the bushes" "creepy fucker"
"It's both Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry." or "His fur is half white, half black, and half brown."
"Per çe" I fucking rage
"Netiquette" "Swag" (When used in style context) "Hashtag" (Need I say more? Pisses me off especially when used out of context. It makes you look like a colossal mouthbreather.) "xD" ">Anything like fucking 4chan greentext" "YOLO" "lololololololololololol" "xD lolololololololololol" These piss me off.
I don't care Swag Yolo xD
"thanks obama" is really goddamn grating because it's evolved from a humorous le meme xd to people actually meaning it for stupid shit.
