You’d be surprised how many people try to make things into what they aren’t.

“For what it’s worth (FWIW).” (Are you implying that what you’re about to say might be worthless?"[/quote]
Yes. But it might also be very worthwhile. Time will tell.
As far as I know, IMHO is “in my humble opinion”. As for “Honestly…”, it implies that you’re not trying to be abrasive, but something needs to be said. I would say it’s over used, though.
Same as “Honestly…”, but it does really irritate me when these and other phrases are used as free passes to say whatever you want to whoever you want whenever you want.
“A fool vents all his feelings,
But a wise man holds them back.”
-Proverbs 29:11
“(except when he ends his statement with “no offense”)”
-Proverbs 29:11.5
Drives me crazy as well.
I think we should add to the list “rack”. In my day, when we got hit in the balls, we just said we got hit in the balls.
“I wanna axe you a question…” of “Can I axe you a question?”
^^absolutely terrible

“Well that’s your opinion”
Well no shit its my opinion, by virtue of the fact that I SAID IT.
“It goes whithout saying”
Then why the fuck are you saying it?

That’s a distinctly Canadian saying.[/quote]
It reminds me of Mic Dundee so I associate it w/ Australia.
“Right on”
Businesses working on their “social networking” and putting announcements on twitter, setting up a corporate facebook page, and other stupid shit.
Another one from George Carlin-
It’s the quiet ones you’ve gotta watch. everytime you see a story about a serial criminal on tv what do they do? they bring on the neighbor and the neighbor says “weeeell, he was always very quiet” and someone in the room says “It’s the quiet ones you gotta watch”. This sound to me like a very dangerous assumption - I will bet you anything that while you’re watching someone quiet a noisy one will fu*king kill you. Suppose you’re in a bar and one of the guys sitting over the side reading a book not bothering anybody another guy stand on the front with a machette bangin’ on the bar saying “I’ll kill the next motherfucker comes in here” - who you gonna watch?

That saying has pretty much the same “social/cultural” meaning as C’est la vie in French or “such is life”. I think some of you are being a little uptight if you don’t even try to understand what is meant by some of these terms.
It is what it is, C’est la vie, So Mot it Be…these are all similar sayings throughout history.

Whether its from another culture or not,its still a useless term. The fact is there so why bother stating it?
It’s always in the last place you look (no shit, that’s why I stopped looking)
Loose fat (not a saying but irritating)
Take it easy (take what easy? life? I take life however it happens)

The thing that drives me nuts about it is most of people that I hear say it are working in some sort of customer service field and using it to justify their laziness or ineptitude. They have the ability to “make it what it’s not”, but don’t.
“You gotta do, what you gotta do”
most annoying saying ever.
“It is what it is” can be acceptable. My apartment isn’t great, it isn’t terrible, it is what it is, and I’m okay with that.
What bugs me is “irregardless,” when people say that I’ll go out of my way to use “irregardlessness,” or 'irregardlessly," in one of my following sentences.
Also, when I say “damn it,” at work, my team lead will counter with, “God don’t need a dam, he can walk on water,” and it makes me want to strangle him. That’s not what dams are for, I didn’t say “bridge it.” Why the fuck would anyone need a dam to cross a body of water?!

I would disagree here, Professor.
With “it is what it is,” one can express the sentiment in a variety of ways. With shoulder shrug and semi-dramatic turn-away; a deep, furrowed brow and angry-yet-dismissive tone, et al.
With “c’est la vie,” the only proper way to pronounce and enunciate is with a hunched posture, four-packs-a-day smoker voice, and a look as if someone just falcon punched you in the dick while you were on the shitter.
It’s not simply the cultural equivalent of “git er done,” it’s also a statement of one’s world view.

You dam the water then walk on the side with less water where it’s shallower, or you can walk across the top of the dam like a bridge.
Also “it is, what it is” is never okay. It’s always some tard trying to sound insightful, never works.
