"This hurts me more than it hurts you."

"I still want to be friends though."

"It not you, it's me."

All very annoying!

And the corporate favorites: "think outside the box", "touching base", "finding synergies".....think of somne new ones, already...those have been around for years....

oh man... how horrible! i haven't been in corporate America for several years - is EVERYthing still "benchmarked"?

evenstar3 said:

im hella guilty of that -everyone here in the bay area of california uses...errr OVERuses that word ..sorry evenstar

pretty much anything people say annoys me.

I hate when people use "right" after a sentence... as in:

"I know, right?"




It's so trendy!

You can see it in the "dog and pony show"

You can thank the Aussies for that It also seems to be a more prevalent trend amongst females I'm guessing that's how Althom sounds when he tries to "speak".

It especially comes out when he's singing "Like a Virgin"

When girls say, "Oooh, aren't you sweet... Aren't you nice... You're like my little brother"

Billie used to say that. Man, she was fucked up.

I hope it wasn't during your practical biology sessions

it's interesting to see the regional quirks. i have a cousin who lives in a small town but i don't know if it's just her that does this or if it's a product of where she lives. her "filler" is "and that, so/then..." as in

"we aren't sure when we will go down for christmas and that so please don't go out and buy presents for us. we may not see you till the new year and that then..."

sometimes i notice going home that my mother says "she said, she said..." it is very strange. i guess she uses two intonations in her voice and to her that is just the way you preface quoting someone.

"i was talking to mary yesterday and she said (slight pause) she said that harvey had to go back to the hospital." (if mary had a lot more to say the whole conversation would continue with the she said she said theme! )

i think i am guilty of saying "actually" too much (or maybe i've moved on to apparently) and apparently i sigh a lot during conversation.

That's what Billie used to call 'it' too.

Can't spell ex-wife's name edit

Indeed.....and lately it is all about "segue".....

"Thinking outside the box, let me touch base with you to discuss a smooth segue from the initial benchmark into developing synergies"

susannah said:

Ugh! I hear that and that's similar to the phrase: "You know what?..."...and usually it's followed by some bullshit.

And, "Lieberry"... .

It's "Library"! LIBRARY!!.

Pretty much everything that all of you said.

Except when *I* do it, in which case it's not even slightly annoying.

Mostly, I wish that people wouldn't speak unless I point to them and demand it.

are you a team player UGH! No I can't stand people, how about that?

you know? i'm not really bothered by other people's linguistic quirks? but i always notice when someone ends their sentence with an upward inflection? like it's a question?

The guy I sit next to at work says "all that typ-a stuff", but I think it's cute!

As in: "There'll be plenty sandwiches and all that typa stuff" Bless him

"It is what it is"----getting way overused.

"Alls I know is"...

I've had it pointed out to me that I pronounce the word ketchup "catch-up" and apparently that's wrong/annoying

people who say "like" all the time, for no good reason. the french equivalent is to add "quoi" at the end of every sentence.

"literally"

My head hurt so bad I literally had knives going through my temples!

"a whole nother"

I guess laughter is acceptable, but it would have been nice if you'd asked.
