“I’m not racist, but…” followed by something incredibly racist.
Strenth- THERE’S A FUCKING G IN IT!!!
x10 on irregardless- spell checker seems to think it’s ok…it’s not.
whether or not xxxxx or not- FAIL
Anyways- “s”
That’s all I have for now, excuse me I’m going to go mis-abuse my family.
You guys are all homos.
^This isn’t a statement I think is dumb or that I hate, I’m literally calling everyone here a homo.
“I could care less”
This means that you actually do care. So yeah, you’re saying that you DO care enough to leave some room for caring even less. Is there some margin of error for how much you don’t care, give or take X amount of units of caring?
“I’m going to the ATM machine”
NO YOU ARE NOT. You are going to the ATM.
And I actually heard some ditzy college chick say LOL the other day. I mean she actually said “EL OH EL”.
I can see why some people never speak.

NOPE! I’ll explain it this way, “could have” = “could’ve” = sounds like “could of” when spoken, how would you know if someone said “coul’ve” or “could of”?
“I KNOW, RIGHT!?” <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This saying needs to die now. WTF, are you asking me to validate what you know?[/quote]
I hope you know that the English language isn’t written according to phonetics.
Just because it SOUNDS like people say “choclit”, doesn’t mean that the spelling of CHOCOLATE should be altered in any way.
Same goes for PSYCHOLOGY not being spelled as SIKOLOGY.
PSYCHE is not spelled SIKE (I’ve actually seen grown fucking adults make this mistake.)
I’ve also seen (particularly on Facebook) the following linguistic monstrosities:
Recital spelled as reciddle.
Utmost spelled as up-most (mistake by a teacher going for an M. Ed).
Congratulations spelled as congradulations (same jerkoff who spelled recital as reciddle).
Shining spelled as shinning (same person who wrote congradulations and reciddle).
Background spelled as backround (I’ve seen this numerous times).

LOL, exactly.

Usually said by a chick:
"I’m not racist. LIKE I have some black friends… grew up with a lot of Asian kids too because they’re LIKE… all smart… and were LIKE… in all the smart classes I was in at (insert some blowhard, puffed up high school in a rich area).
LIKE I have a black girlfriend. But listen, she’s totally educated, totally classy. She has a great job. She’s not like the rest of them. She doesn’t (insert myriad undesirable behaviors)."

This one drives me crazy too…but how about ‘stremph’…? Listen to the P. Diddy song ‘I’ll be missing you’. He most certainly says ‘give me the strempth I need to believe…strempth I need to proceed.’
As much as I hate it…I can’t stop laughing every time I hear it.

THIS! I want to judo chop 1000 babies to death every time someone says this!
I’ll admit I’m guilty of using "It is what it is " a few times (even used it last night on the phone!! haha) and IMHO. So I guess this makes me inept, damnit! It is what it is.
I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ve always hated the word “Pro-active”. I feel like yes, you should be actively engaged in attempting to control the events of your life, but in the end, most of life is reacting to situations that are presented to us. I guess I really just feel like “Pro-active” is a “self-help” word, one of those words that you use to sell books to make people feel good. I realize I’ll probably get flamed by the self-help book-lovers here, but MOST self-help programs boil down to blowing sunshine up other peoples asses so they’ll give you money.
“moving foward”…I cannot stand this one, don’t know why , I just do.
“a” liberal or “a” conservative
I don’t know why it bothers me, but I kinda find it annoying when someone quotes a movie (usually a comedy) and then his buddy quotes the same movie in response (not necessarily in chronological order) and before I know it they’ve had an entire conversation with each other using nothing but quotes. When The Hangover came out, I saw this a lot.
It’s different if someone uses a quote from an older movie or a movie that isn’t the flavor of the month. Like if someone goes “well, if I could only do this” or “if” that and so on, and someone buts in and yells “But you ARE in that chair Blanche, you are!” Or someone bursts into the room with a sick smile on their face and says “Heeeeere’s Johnny!”
My roommate would refer to EVERYTHING as either “Wunderbahr!” or “a bingo” after we saw Inglourious Basterds. Made me wanna puke after hearing that shit about twenty times.
“Just be yourself.”
“I accept my body the way it is.” (This means… I’m fat and I give up.)
What if I want to better myself? Does that mean I’m not being myself? Or that I’m not ok with myself?
I can’t stand when people put “quotation marks” around words when they’re speaking, especially “in” the wrong spot. I used to work with a girl who did it all the time and I’d miss half of the conversation because she kept throwing me off with the finger curls.
EXpecially…you can really blow peoples minds when you tell them “it’s actually especially”

conversate… my freshman year of college I’m going on a retreat and one of the senior peer counselors gets interrupted while talking to someone and he says “Can’t you see I’m trying to conversate here?” I turn around and tell him “it’s converse.” He stops and stares at me like I have three heads.
