New phrases that grate on my nerves...

[Jennasis]

NOT SO MUCH.

Hate it. It's so overused now. I want to slap people when I hear it.

I KNOW FOR A FACT.

It sets my teeth on edge. The first thing that springs to mind is the person likely has no actual facts to back their claim up and are just talking out of their patoot.

As for internet stuff, I hate "CLEARLY", as in "clearly, you don't know what you're talking about."

 

[MichelleVW]

"drinking the Kool Aid".

But that's not really that new.

Love that one!

 

[kwelch10377]

I hate LOL....

Also not a fan of prolly and preggers. I am a stamper and a scrapbooker and another board I frequent people use the terms rubbah and sistah alot.....I cannot stand that. I just think it makes people sound un-educated. Never heard anyone use embies.....but that is going on the list as well.

 

[kimblebee]

There are 2 that get on my nerves..

hubby

throwing someone under the bus.

 

[mom2cinderella]

I can't stand all the abbreviations. Prolly, souvies, ressies and the newest one......embies! While I wish anyone that's pregnant all the best in the world, but really, embies???

Haaaate those abbreviations. Preggers, brekkie and hubby drive me nuts as well.

 

[MichelleVW]

throwing someone under the bus.

another one I love.... We use it a lot at work!

 

[Octoberbride03]

Embies is new to me too. Can't say I care for any of the prolly etc.

One that REALLY gets on my nerves is the anywho

It is ANYHOW!! The six letters in their proper order. I'm not really the grammer police, but geeze this is way too popular.

 

[Dax]

I really dislike the following:

1) Fail
2) Epic Fail

LOL, as an avid World of Warcraft player, these are part of my every day vocabulary..LOL..

 

[Anjelica]

Synergy - they use that at my work and it drives me bonkers. That and "low hanging fruit". Ugh....

 

[trip]

Baby Daddy used to drive me crazy but it is so appropriate in many situations that I have gotten used to it and admit to using it.

You-betCHA. I don't know how new it really is, but it's sure seen a resurgence as of late.

Especially when accompanied with a huge wink!

Not at all. It merely makes them sound like they're from Boston . Not nearly the same thing.

There are 2 that get on my nerves..

hubby

Okay, I wasn't going to say anything, but... "the wife", "the husband/hubby", "the spouse", "the kids"... because the person posting or saying this is apparently under the mistaken impression that she/he has the ONLY spouse or children in the entire world.

Sorry, but DD/DH/DW/DS, etc., bug me.

And "ressies" and ADRs. They're reservations. Many CMs (it's fine with me when posters abbreviate that ) don't even know to what we're referring when we say "ADR".

And, slightly off-topic - overuse of quotation marks bugs me as well

I'm with you. The use of abreviations drive me crazy. Not too long ago a poster started a thread about a legal problem. Being a lawyer, I started reading.

The first paragraph was so full of abbreviations (DS, DS, DMIL, etc) that I quickly gave up and backed out. If a person doesn't care enough to make his or her problem understandable, I see no reason for me to spend time trying to decipher a bunch of idiotic abbreviations.

 

[Liberty Belle]

This certainly isn't new, but "see what I'm sayin'" about sends me into a fit of rage! Seriously, I can feel my bloodpressure rise when I hear it. I want to go Lewis Black on them and say, "No, I'm a ^%&$&$ moron!"

 

[Poppinsme]

Wack
Snap
Booya
What the Dealy?
Holla

 

[TifffanyD]

Ignorant

This just reminds me of watching Jerry Springer and seeing people call each other this. So it screams of low class to me

 

[Mickey's Minion]

You-betCHA. I don't know how new it really is, but it's sure seen a resurgence as of late.

especially with a wink as a previous poster mentioned

to reiterate some - peeps makes me shake my head, as does prolly and using texting abbreviations such as u for you. And embies, that is just so wrong.

The other one that bugs me a lot is alot. It is a lot, two separate words.
.
It never used to bother me me until I went into my son's middle school a few years back and up and down the hallways they had posters saying "a lot, it is two words." Now I notice it all the time when somebody types alot as one word.

Oh these people that use those words on the message board aren't from Boston, they are from all over the country. The one woman actually owns a stamping company and she writes things out like that all the time on her company blog. Here is an example:

"Let’s discuss WINNAHS from Last Week’s Bellarific Challenge (July 9th). All of the entries were FANTABULOUS!!

Winnah of da COMMENTATIN’ SISTAHS"

 

[TimeforMe]

Conversate. YUCK!

also, in writing I hate when people write "da" instead of "the".
