I couldn't agree more!!! What the heck are they trying to say, "my bad" what? Why can't people say, "Oh no! I made a mistake!" Yes, and "baby daddy/momma" is like nails on a chalkboard. "My baby daddy", ugh, it just sounds so, incorrect.

Also, "back in the day" is a good one, but it doesn't bother me as much as the above two.

I absolutely can't stand the word "ain't". My husband and stepson also both say, "I seen..". Another nails on the chalkboard phrase. I always ask them how do they seen? I have corrected them a gazillion times to say, "I saw..." but they still say it.

If you can't stand ain't how about cain't? TALK ABOUT NAILS ON A CHALK BOARD.

Well see, that's why people incorrectly using language is a problem in the first place. Both of those words do mean things. To be filled with awe or amazed is something you should reserve noting for a time when you really do feel it.

She is right...I specially hate it when the media says this about horrific events! ie tornadosand earthquakes etc.

This is the most annoying thread ever!

Reading all of these things is just making me scowl.

So many have already been said:

my baby daddy

"like" after every like, word.

IRregardless, I hate that one.

my bad

Someone mentioned "Not for nothing, but.." I lived in Brooklyn years ago, and worked on Staten Island. Everyone said that. Every time I thought, What the heck does that even mean? It doesn't make any sense! Also in my NY days I heard "I'll AXE ha", meaning, "I'll ask her". That sounded very ignorant. Another one from NY was someone telling a story, and then at the end saying "PS: I never did go..." etc. "PS" is just stupid to say verbally, it's meant for written word. And of course the infamous NY "forget about it..." when they really don't want you to forget about it at all.

"It is what it is..." as someone mentioned, it annoys me, but I've found that I've actually picked it up much to my own annoyance.

"You guys" is the northern equivalent of "Y'all." It's used in exactly the same way.

yes but it is a masculine form. if someone wants to say its gender neutral then I say men shouldn't be offended if I say " you gals" to them.
