Irregardless does it for me. Also, misuse of your and you're or there, their, and they're.

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.

Also, misuse of your and you're or there, their, and they're.

So, how do you know the difference when someone is talking?

[blister911]

When someone starts off a completely new thought, usually in response to a question, with "I mean". Why try and clarify yourself when you haven't said anything, yet. Just say it.




Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

CC is, like, "I hate 'like' as a replacement for 'says'."

Mufasa is, like, "I hate 'all' as a replacement for 'says', as in "He's all, 'I want to go to the movies,' and I'm all, 'I want to go, too.'"

'Like'wise, I lump "goes" in the same category: "He goes, 'I got a new car. Do you want a ride?' and I go, 'Sure.'"

I despise having anyone "aks" me a question!

I severely dislike people continually 'aksing' me, "Yoam say'n'?", thus insulting me by wondering, "Do you know what I'm saying?" as if I'm too stupid to understand their already sub-par mentality.

I can't really say this one is annoying. I've heard it a few times, and well, it's all I can do to not laugh my head off:

Whose baby daddy that is?

A police officer friend of mine actually told me an entire conversation he overheard on that line, and it was hilarious. Just a couple weeks later, and I overheard a similar conversation at work.

Forgive me if I didn't get it 100% correct... it's been a little while since I last heard it.

Amazing" is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

As soon as I hear someone say "I saw < movie title here > and it was amazing", "I tried the new Starbuck's Double Mocha Latte Carnival and it was amazing", or "James called me last night & we talked for hours...it was amazing" I know I cannot take taht person seriously.

Yes, something ARE amazing but not everything you've done since you got out of bed this morning is amazing.
