Awesome… I know this girl that her one response is a honking “awesome”. I swear if she passes gas…”awesome”. And my number #2 most annoying…”that being said”……Urggh, what a stupid senseless, phrase!

The most annoying and superfluously overused word is “basically”.

I hate it when President Obama says “Look”. He says it so often.

“Amazing” whether used as an adjective or adverb is very ANNOYING. Everything in America is categorized as “amazing” from an actor’s performance to a new color lipstick. It’s usage supports the “dumbing-down of America.” When the average man on Main Street can name one Supreme Court Justice or what the First Amendment represents, then we can say, that’s amazing. By the way the minimally knowledgeable people who abuse the word “amazing” must be related to others who just a few years ago repeated “awesome” over and over. One would think that at least they would have past the “A’s” and gone to one of the other 27 letters.

“I need the last four of your social,” Translation: “I need the last four digits of your Social Security Number.”
I usually act like I don’t understand what they want until they learn to speak in a complete sentence.

About 18 months ago, my son, age 45, when he wanted to deflect questions he didn’t want to answer would say “It is what it is?” I had no idea what he was talking about. Then last month, my stepdaughter, age 42, who hasn’t seen her father or me, in over a year put in a guest appearance at a family reunion. When I asked her anything about her life, her family, our grandchildren, her health she’d shrug and respond “it is what it is?” I have no idea what either of these offspring meant, but the next time I hear anyone use that phrase I confess I might turn nasty and smack them. It’s just so dismissive and obscuring.

“Think outside of the box” makes my skin crawl.

The word “clearly.” It makes my head explode.
People who use the word want to make you think that there is no argument to what they are saying when in fact, the fact that they use the word, “clearly” demonstrates that there is a strong argument against whatever it is they are saying.

Awesome!

If one really wishes to rend my anger to the point of insanity, just answer my question with:
1. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
2. “I don’t want to go there.”
3. “Whateverrr!”

I hate people saying: “No Problem”
What ever happened to saying: “Thank you”, or “my pleasure”?

I want to make myself perfectly clear.
(Well, haven’t you in the past?)

I gave this a lot of consideration. I finally decided that anything they say annoys me. They are either avoiding the truth, exaggerating, covering their tracks, covering for their party or someone else or are simply clueless. The best thing they could do is sit in a dark corner, suck their thumb and not say anything at all.

I eat marshmallows! I eat marshmallows! Uggg – enough already America! So annoying.

“In these tough economic times” is easily the most annoying phrase of the year.

I agree with all of the above…here are a few more. But-um…as in “we tried really hard, but-um, we lost the game”. “Devastated”–used for every life experience that is less than pleasant…the most trivial things are now devastating “You have that in your computer” and its companion “nothing has changed”–spoken to me daily at my job when I ask to verify personal health information. At a restaurant, “just the two of you?”.At any business when service becomes “no problem” or “not a problen” instead of “certainly” or “I’ll get that right away”.

I can’t stand listening to people who are using the word “like” in every sentence–sometimes more than once in a sentence. I just think of them as airheads who have nothing of importance to say and stop listening. The second worst word to me is the word “totally”, when it is used in the manner of the word “like”, as a random interjection that adds no meaning.

I HATE “I’m just saying”
It’s only purpose is to nullify the most hurtful thing a person wants to voice.
1: “You are a fat pustular slob!”
2: “What!”
1: “I’m just saying.”

One of the most annoying expressions to me is, “Wait for it… wait for it”
Another one, “just sayin’”
