Are you saying its obnoxious when people type “two” when they mean “too”? Or do you really mean its annoying when you wish someone a good day and they reciprocate? How would you rather they reply, by telling you to eat shit, maybe? I just don’t see what you’re getting at.[/quote]

No I was making a joke of when people say the word too…so far it wasn’t funny.

I haven’t heard “Gear down big rig!” in a while but it’s funny if no one else has heard it. In high school we used it a lot. Its funny using it on girls because it makes them more mad when the hear that they are referred to a big semi lol.

I think I’m going to start using this one. It seems like it could either have the effect of derailing the person’s anger by making them laugh, or making them that much more angry.

And I wish I was there when someone said that to a female, lol

I’ve said it to my gf and she pretty much tells me to fuck off and smiles lol. You’ll get smiles out of it for sure…

Not being able to use the pronoun “I” in a research paper, i.e. “it was observed…” Is there any doubt who observed these things? Does it really make sense to pretend as if the author(s) is unbiased?
[/quote]

An objective “it” is just simpler, especially on multiple-author papers. Which author would “I” apply to? If you use “we” it suggests they all observed the result, which is probably not true in a collaboration.[/quote]

That’s funny, I actually had a teacher in high school who told us it isn’t proper to use “I” in a research paper because you’re not supposed to be refering directly to yourself in that type of paper(or something like that, I really can’t remember any more the exact way she told us).

I like “it is what it is”. Around my way (I’m sure some of you will complain about that one) people say that as a response to someone complaining about something they can do nothing about. For example: “Damn, my girl just dumped me, it really hurts, man” response, “hey, it is what it is” meaning that’s what happens, nothing you can do but accept it for what it is (which usually comes from someone who is speaking from experience).

I also hate when people say they could care less. I think the original saying was “I couldn’t care less” which makes so much more sense to say and people just started saying could instead of couldn’t. Oh well, I say it right whenever I use that phrase.

The one that irks me is “close the light” and “open the light” when someone is asking you to turn on/off the lights.

Another, instead of saying “Entourage is playing on HBO tonight”, Hispanic people in NJ and NYC say “HBO is giving Entourage tonight”. This drives me nuts as well.[/quote]

Around here, a lot of people say cut on/off. I can understand how you would cut something off, but how can you cut something on?

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a translation thing with the hispanics saying HBO is giving entourage. In spanish, that may be the way it’s said and they’re just translating directly to English. My girl is Brazilian and there’s a lot of things that happen between translations like that.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear all you guys want everyone to talk like cavemen. You seem to hate all slang and jargon. Oh well, it is what it is, I guess.

Apparently its the name of some band. This shirt design is pretty gay though.

When people use “to that end” in a place that it doesn’t make sense.

“I like to be a clean person, and to that end, I am also going out to eat.”

When you say something and then they reply “YEAH it is.” - Like I needed confirmation of my own opinion.

“He’s good people” - Singular or plural, please pick.

redonkulous

Pretty much ANY word that would normally end in “ed” that is changed to “t” - “So I turnt around and…”

See ya when I see ya

Never understood this one. I know it’s literal meaning, and of course, you will see me WHEN you see me. It actually pissed me off the first time it was said to me. It happened to be a girlfriend at the time.

It makes the sayer sound completely indifferent to wether or not they even care if they see you again. It’s not like “see you later!” or “see you soon!” as there is some implied interest in WHEN they will see you. Rather, it’s just matter of fact, lacking anything personal, at least for me.

I’ve asked others about it and nobody seems to take it the way I do. Dunno.

I always think it’s strange when people say “that is hilarious” or “you’re so funny!” but never actually laugh at what the person said.

It seems to me that this is usually said by suck ups who didn’t really find the joke funny, or women trying to stroke a guy’s ego.

Not really a saying, but you sure hear it a lot… “I don’t want to get too big/muscular. I just want to be ‘toned.’” Usually said by someone that is already carrying around 50 lbs. of extra weight by way of fat.

And then there is “Really?” Nope… I just said it for the fuck of it (that’s my father-in-law’s response to the question). It gets annoying when you’re telling a story and they keep asking, “Really?”

Obviously, you aren’t a l33t hax0r. :wink:

I hate “you know” when it’s used all the time. Like, you know, when you talk, you know, to a person, you know, and are like telling them a, you know, story.

I say “it is what it is” all the time. It’s basically my way of saying, “eh…whatever.”

I also hate when people use ignorant or ig’nant to describe something. As in, “man, that is so ig’nant!” How can a thing be ignorant? Or someone is being ig’nant, but they’re not, they’re just acting in a way you don’t like.

Moving forward…stabbbity stab stab! Ugh. Same with ‘At the end of the day’ unless you actually mean, at the end of the say.

I’m guilty of using ‘It is what it is.’ I just fits sometimes. Que sera sera works but expressions in other languages always strike me as pretentious. Plus I had a friend who was the most annoying person I’d ever known and she’s say it all the time, so I cringe when I hear it.[/quote]

Debra D’s body is spec, glad and/or deck and is certainly not fin.

“Wherever you go, there you are”.

Stating the inherently obvious was clever back in the seventies, when you were really stoned. Now it’s just a sign of Alzheimer’s.

155

Its funny when friends start a telling a story like “Me and Jim were fucking…” lol. Always stop them there and follow up with a “What?!”.

You can’t hate that saying … Pig Killer says it in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome right before they kick that dude with the doll on his back into the big vat of pig shit

However I hate it when people say: “it’s always in the last place you look” … a lot of people say that to be obnoxious because it makes no/perfect sense but I’ve heard a couple dumbasses say that in an attempt to relieve frustration after a long search for the remote control.

Really? Why wouldn’t it be in the last place you look? You found it, you’re done looking, so, it will ALWAYS BE in the last place you look. Once you found it, why would you keep looking!??!?

I don’t hate it. I don’t say it for fear of getting punched in the face.

Even worse than that (though rarely heard) is: “See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya!”

The first person I ever heard say it was the guitarist from Extreme doing a TV link and he sounded like a dick.

When people ask for a shake at the gym to be made and tell me no “rush”. So when do you want me to make it?
