  • Phrase or Word That Annoys the Crap out of You????

    The overuse of "as well" drives me nuts.
    Beginning a sentence with "as well" deserves a bitch slap.

    That aint nada, what about the clowns that start every sentence with "umm". Seems to mostly be with the 25 and under age group.

      "I'll do the fish and chips"

              At this moment in time, I personally never use 24/7. I prefer to use 3.428571 instead. I think I am fairly unique in that regard. With all due respect to the listing of irritating phrases, at the end of the day, I am sure we all use many phrases that annoy others. However, it's a nightmare when people use them too frequently. After all, communication skills can be learned. It's not rocket science.

              Was this overboard? Absolutely, you say? Maybe I shouldn't of done it.

                ummm, uhhh, uhh, frankly I agree with you.

                After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

                  Using the word crap annoys me.

                    One word I'll never get sick of: Patlerized!

                          I agree with that. This country has become so PC and sensitive to everybody's FEELINGS that no one says Christmas anymore. I actually go out of my way to say it ...especially when someone says Happy Holidays! No...it's Christmas moron!

                          I would add the annoying Minnesota "aye" at the spoken at the end of sentences. Think Fargo!
