In a recent poll 47% said the most annoying word is "whatever." I do use it to annoy people, do you??? I know there are a lot of words or phrases that drive you crazy...Care to share???

 

Aside from "know what I'm sayin'?", which was the subject of another thread...I've always had a dislike for:

"if you will"
"the bottom line"
"at the end of the day"

Oh, and since we're on a porn forum, I have to throw in another one I hate:

"eating her out"

 

Shit, I use "at the end of the day" lots...

My bad - that irks the shit out of me...

 

I had a professor once who had a bad habit of heaving in the term "vis a vis" whenever he ran out of anything else to say. Drove us bonkers.

 

Yes no.

You coming out later?

Yeah na in a bit.

WTF how can you use yes and no. It's either yes or no.

 

Too right.

What is she....a fucking takeaway? :excited:

 

Ugh! I hate "my bad" too... especially from white people. As a matter of fact, I can't stand any lingo associated with one group of people, when it's used by another. It always seems either mocking and racist, or utterly retarded to me. I have to admit I'm guilty sometimes though... if I get into a groove with alot of British movies (which I love) I can't stop myself from saying "bloody" and "arse" and calling people twats and cunts... and when I say "say" I mean out loud, not in print. I don't fake an accent, I just say them in my own normal, slightly southern sounding voice. Apparently it's quite entertaining to my friends. :excited: And I went completely scots after reading Trainspotting for awhile; like two weeks. That book is written in such a thick dialect, part of it, that you almost have to immerse yourself in it in order to follow it. Or I do, anyway; maybe I'm weird.

 

I didn't even realise it was used by a specific group. First time I came across it was on here and I just thought it sounded retarded...

 

Mine is a chant by the fans for aussie sports people......"aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi"....... makes me want to go and hide when i hear that.

 

As far as I can tell, it started out as a black thing(which I say with zero racism, I promise... I acknowledge differences in races though, it's silly not to), and was STOLEN BY THE WHITE MAN! ::giggles madly::

 

I hate the phrase "moist panties" -- but you have to say it in that horrible Minnesota accent "moooyyyyyst payyynteez" -- ugh!

 

the one that drives me crazy is "outside the box"

 

I don't want to sound like a smartarse but "My Bad" isn't racist, the saying can be found back in Shakspeare's day,.......

Shakespeare used the term with something like the current meaning, in his Sonnet 112:

Your love and pity doth the impression fill
Which vulgar scandal stamp'd upon my brow;
For what care I who calls me well or ill,
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?

ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

JUST DIE

IF YOU SAY THESE PHRASES JUST CURL UP AND SET YOURSELF ON FIRE BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ILLITERATE IDIOT WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND BASIC IDIOM

 

Isn't that supposed to be 'to all intents and purposes?

Just wondering.........

Intents and Purposes


The correct phrase is "to all intents and purposes." This phrase dates back to the 1500s and originated in English law, where it was "to all intents, constructions, and purposes." In modern usage, "for all intents and purposes" is also acceptable. The phrase means "for all practical purposes" and is generally used to compare two nonidentical acts or deeds, i.e., "She went to his room and drank with him, which he viewed to all intents and purposes as consent to sex." (In reality, only a sober 'yes' is consent to sex so to all intents and purposes he is a rapist). A shorter equivalent phrase is "in effect."
When used in a strictly legal sense, the wording would be "intent and purposes," as it refers to one's mental attitude/state at the time said action occurred. A common malapropism is "for all intense and purposes", (also, "for all intensive purposes") a result of the original phrase being misheard and repeated. The word "intense" is used here incorrectly; "intense" is used in English to indicate a degree of intensity, i.e., "As the afternoon passed, the fire grew more intense."

 

Hey Magpie, from your own link ---
