Anyone annoyed by these phrases? Or, another attempt at humor by Q9

[mikki717]

It really bothers me when people say, "LOL" or "OMG" or "Meet by BFF..."

It is bad enough that you type them in texts, e-mails, and dome leters... but speaking that way now?

I think that people who speak like that have a pretty awesome character.
I used to find myself slipping in a couple of sentences like that (got them off movies, most likely) but people just stared at me weirdly

there are some things that bug me a little but for the most part i accept that people each speak differently

I just moved from the land of "um, like, you know, oh my GAWD!"
"so like I talked to this boy? and like you know he was like TOTALLY cute? and like um babe-a-licious and everything? and so he said like 'Ok' and I like said 'Ok' and so Ok Ok?"

save me from nightmares of listening to valley teens.

because um I'm like pretty sure ending every sentence in like a rising tone is like totally making me agro, ok?

I work in a high school front office. This is exactly what I hear daily, along with "f-bombs" used as every part of speech. When I hear them, I sometimes ask, "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Most have the good sense to be embarrassed, and at the least they are a little more careful about where they say it.

yep, that'd be the same place I moved from.

our response was "do you EAT with that thing?"

now, where I've moved TO, that's a different story. it's "Yes Sir, No Ma'am" country.

a couple of weekends ago I stopped at the Hillbilly Gas Mart (the local gas station with the excellent 24hr cafe) and parked on the side where the local teens hang out on a saturday night. right next to me was a big king cab pickup stuffed with teen boys, and just as I got out of my car, ont of them said rather LOUDLY ... " that BI*CH!"

not what I expected to hear on exiting my car, so I turned rather sharply, with a surprised look and made eye contact with the 14yr old offender.

when I cam back out, the young man crawled across the other boys to hang out the window and appologize profusely... looked kinda panic stricken - like I might call his parents and he was not liking what the results of THAT would be.

... Toto, I don't think we're in Los Angeles any more...

Ive made up my own ephrases to retaliate against my daughters:

lqtm =laughing quietly to myself
hme = hurts my ears/eyes
iety = I eat the young

I hate people using "Surreal"

Having the qualities of surrealism; bizarre: "a surreal mix of fact and fantasy".

If you dont know the true meaning of such an irritating word...dont use it!

Presactly my fantasmicgorical point

maybe the world should use their minds instead of their mouths as the new way to communicate,then all the talking robots out there wont be able to speak
or think
just stand there
annoying like
not making a sound
or thought

When people come into the store my dad manages, and ask him 'whats up' he's always said 'the sky and taxes'. I've heard that one all my life!

I'm not a fan of the LOL texting either, I've some friends that text me and every other word is LOL. At least they're laughing a lot!
One form of conversation I love to listen to, that's usually not correct, is my kids. When they're getting along that is. It really is funny what they come up with! My oldest is 8 and youngest is 4.

#1 Annoying WORD - - - - -> PREGGERS .

HUBBY
WIFEY
"Stepping up to the plate"
"Have a good one"
"Crunching Numbers"
90% of ALL ACRONYMS USED
In our neck of the woods, a lot of people say "BOO" & "Alright my baby". Not sure if this is a Louisiana thing or not but I could tear my eyes out when I hear that.
"GAL"
When a stranger calls me "honey" "sugar" "sweety", "darling" "baby"
Boss (I prefer the word Supervisor)
"I didn't catch your name". and I say - - - -> That's because I didn't throw it.

I will re-post when I think of more.

First of all, this reminds me of your Christmas carols thread.

I think that one needs to be revived- Wait! No! I'm sorry! I mean, reread!- this year.

I actually used a sarcastic response in the McDonalds drive-through once, but it was okay because it was my old babysitter.

"I'm only human" annoys me to no end, as does the one about a deceased person always being with us. I'm lucky enough to have never had to hear somebody say that God gave them a song.

But as far as all the others go.... You need to be more open minded! Irregardless of how much they annoy you, you shouldn't judge others based on the phrases they use. Maybe they use them to remember somebody who is no longer with them except in their heart. Now, how are you today?

(I've been known to quote Anne of Green Gables when somebody asks me that. "Well in body, although considerably rumpled in spirit.")

We as people( or even parents) need to come back at our kids with uncommonly used phrases that will make them speechless,and will walk away for a good time

I use this one on my girls when they get all bossy:

"Is this a dagger which I see before me?"
or

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more

It stops them in their tracks.....then they walk away slowly and avoid making eye contact.............

ok maybe it dont work,but I try.

SMART GUY : How do you crunch numbers?
DUMB GUY: you put them in a bowl,pour in milk and use a spoon

SMART GUY: How do you skin a cat?
DUMB GUY: You take the cat by the tail and rip its skin off

SMART GUY: You cant kill 2 birds with one stone
DUMB GUY: Sure you can,if they are two baby birds and you have a very large stone.

Steeping up to the plate? nope.Id rather get ejected from the game
