What sayings, that you hate? I hate "You're a great person, and you'll find someone soon." I always here this after a first date with a woman. I just think people say this so they wouldn't feel guilty about breaking up, or not going on another date with me.

"You're too good for me." Oh comon, if you had a choice between Colt 45 and a high price beer, you're going to pick the high price beer everytime.

"I need space" (without you in it). I wouldn't hate this saying much if they just add in the part in ( ).

"We should see other people." Translation: "I found someone else."

That's all I can think of right now, add your own!

My personal hated fave is...

"From my cold dead hands."

I hate that one more than anything. It makes me wish that bug from MIB I was real.

"I'm ugly."
I hate that. I've had that happen before, and whenever they tell me they are, I'm automatically obliged to say 'No'. Then they make me give reasons and comparisons and line graphs to prove a single damn point, but then they still keep saying it just to feed their endless ego. But no, if I say 'Yeah, you are', then they say I'm mean. Where's the f***ing middle ground?

"I just feel like socking that gay guy in the face whenever he talks."

Me: o_o....Okaaaay....


I hear it every week or so. Quite creepy.

I hate it when they say "/that's/ your penis?"

and "Is it in yet?"

and "allah akhbar"

anytime someone uses the expression "bitchin" to express that something is worthy of emphasis I wish the earth would open up and swallow me.

I hate it when they say "/that's/ your penis?"

and "Is it in yet?"

and "allah akhbar"
Allah Akhbar. Wewt.

Wewt.
yay! that just made my day colodia!

"That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"

"There are laws against that!"

"Can't you find something more constructive to do?"

"Put your clothes on the right way."

"Get that skunk off my porch!" -said by my mother through clenched teeth.-

"Are you on drugs?" I get asked that a lot. :(

"If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?" What a dumb question! It depends what happened to them. If they survive, YES!!!

:D

Hehehehe. :D

"You go girl!" is possibly the most idiotic statement ever created, I'd rather listen to a hundred fingernails scraping on blackboards than ever hear it again.

And, since I live in the Southern USA, "Git 'er done" is getting almost as bad. I think Larry the Cable Guy is funny as hell but somebody needs to slap him silly for ever coming up with that phrase.

Hmmm, and while I'm at it the whole thing about using "u" for "you" and "r" for "are" drives me insane. I mean are people really so lazy that they can't type two more letters? Or is spelling a three letter word just beyond the capability of half the online world?

*sigh* I think I need a Valium....

Eh.. people have been saying that forever.. he may have popularized it, but he didn't invent it.. but yeah, I'm sick of that guy, and I've only seen his act once on television.. once was enough. :p

I just suggest that they are inteligent enough to make that wise accessment of themselves and that they are probly right.

When you have misplaced something, "It's in the last place you'd look."

No shit? Really? Here is a question, if I found my misplaced object, why the fuck would I keep on looking for it. Of course where my lost object is will be the last place I'd look. I wouldn't find it and keep on looking for it. Dumb-asses.

I hate this when other peoples than myself say:

"HOUSE!"

If anyone understands that.

"that's gay"

"what did you say?" - then they answer you anyway

"huh?" - then they answer you anyway

"like, oh my god!"

Thank you george carlin.

Emancipated Colonies']Thank you george carlin.

Nope. George did a rather lengthy routine on 'things that are lost', but to the best of my knowledge(and I am well-versed in Carlin lore), he never said that.

Though I certainly understand why you'd think so. It's the first thing that popped into my head when I read it too. *nod*

What do you think I am like? *God I hate it when that happens. Its like, hmm lemme pull out the 'ole book of nice words and list a few!

Why dont you ever talk to me? *What are we currently doing? Or I will answer, Why dont you ever talk to me!

Thats all I can think of for now. Im going to go cash in on my 5hours of sleep, but I am sure I will think of plenty tommorow.

A Partial List of Cute.

This is a partial version of "The Official List of Cute".
Some of these I have personally witnessed, and some were witnessed by friends. Keep in mind,"Cute" is used facetiously.

1. "Well...youre just fucking fucked, so fuck it."
-Anonymous Smartie, in a bar.

2. "Im not crazy, I just want to have sex with my duaghter."
-White Trash mom, on Springer.

3. "I was sedu-sed"
-White trash Daughter on Springer.

4."Hey....whats in them Lemon Filled (donuts)?"
-Stupid Customer in Dunkin Donuts.

5. "Oh...never mind then, I'll take a dozen Barbarian's cream."
-Same stupid customer.

Theres more...on the "Official List of Cute", but thats all you get for now.

Anything with the phrase, "knee-jerk" in it.

I hate the saying "Oh no you didn't" and its sister "Oh yes I did"

I hate when people say to me "you won't do it" I ussually end up hurt or arrested. :(

I hate when people say to me "you won't do it" I ussually end up hurt or arrested. :(

That and 'You don't have the balls!' *nod*

"Same difference"

and

"Some people say"

and

"Well, that doesn't agree with my research"

That and 'You don't have the balls!' *nod*
Yep! That one got me into a nice dirtbike accident! The hill didn't look THAT steep!

"Oh.My.God" uttered in completely unbelievable manner at mundane things.

"ZIEH!"
It means "pull" literally, and in this case "stroke" and was used by my German swim coach so loudly you could still hear him from underwater.

What sayings, that you hate? I hate "You're a great person, and you'll find someone soon."
~snip~



Oh, there are so many more sayings just like that. I think they are collected in a book, and all of my friends own a copy (and wouldn't stop quoting from it).

How about:

It's better to have him as a good friend than a bad boyfriend. (I already have a bunch of friends, I just wanted to get laid. :rolleyes: )

There's a lid to every pot. (or whatever the correct English translation to that saying is)

And top of my list is:
You'll find the right one. (Mister Right Now would do just as well.) :D

It's better to have him as a good friend than a bad boyfriend. (I already have a bunch of friend, I just wanted to get laid. :rolleyes: )


LOL :p

"Wasssuuuup!!!!"

over use of the word like (a paticulally welsh thing)

e.g. "I was like yeah and he was like no and then I was like shut up and he was like no way..."
my favourite "he was like I didn't know like so I says like you know I like like them like I mean like come on like" (overheard from obnoxious girl on mobile phone)

"Theres been a slight change in plans" (translation=your all fucked)

"if I've told you once i've told you a thousand times" surely if you've told me once you've told me once...... don't get all philisophical on me

"in my humble opinion" how do you have a humble opinion

"can I ask a question" and then before you say yes or no they ask......

What sayings, that you hate? I hate "You're a great person, and you'll find someone soon." I always here this after a first date with a woman. I just think people say this so they wouldn't feel guilty about breaking up, or not going on another date with me.
Ohhh...someone's just been dumped and is feeling a tad bitter!

Actually like I should talk. Here's an excerpt from an email I received today (from a woman of course):

There must be some pretty and cute women who are still available, just like you (I mean someone nice).
Argghh!!! There's that dreaded word again!

nice

Quite possibly the most hated, most evil word in the English language.
It pretends to be a good word, but really it's nasty and cruel. It smiles sweetly at you while slowly tearing your balls off and grinding them into the floor. Think, when have you ever used it when you actually meant it in a truly positive way?
eg.
Someone does a painting that looks like shit. What do you say?
'Oh, it's very nice'
Then they show you one that's actually pretty good.
Do you say, 'Oh, that's nice'
No!
You say, 'Oh, that's pretty good'

See? 'nice' is never used to actually describe something (or someone) that is 'nice' (according to it's official dictionary definition:
1. Pleasing and agreeable in nature: had a nice time.
2. Having a pleasant or attractive appearance: a nice dress; a nice face.
3. Exhibiting courtesy and politeness: a nice gesture.
4. Of good character and reputation; respectable.

The above definition is bollocks! If I had an enjoyable time, I'd say I had a good time. If it sucked, and I was being polite, it would be a nice time. Likewise a woman's dress: :) = 'looks great!' :eek: = 'looks nice'
and so on.

In case you haven't been paying attention, I hate the word nice. It's a cop-out for people who want to avoid confrontation and actually telling someone the truth.

rant over.

"can I ask a question" and then before you say yes or no they ask......

When you say, "Can I ask a question?"

and they reply, "You just did."

Like that didn't get old in the fourth grade.

<snip>
Nice post. :)

"in my humble opinion" how do you have a humble opinion


Personally, i always say "in my not so humble opinion", so i agree with you there.


"can I ask a question" and then before you say yes or no they ask......
"can I ask you a question?" you just did.
"oh haha, can I ask you another one?" you just did.
"can I ask you two questions?" NO.


I hate "at the end of the day...blah blah..."

Nice post. :)
I try my best.

Whenever I'm asked how I like my coffee, I always say,
'Cold and bitter, like my women'

bitter, moi? ;)

weak and bitter, like my love life...

Somebody gets a :fluffle:

Now, on with you, i've got a legitimate, respectable facade to maintain.

The English word "clever" does not have a positive connotation.
Never use it as a compliment.
You will be taken the wrong way.

"if I've told you once i've told you a thousand times" surely if you've told me once you've told me once...... don't get all philisophical on me
I can never get this either. If you have said it to me 1000 times, it raises two points:
1. You really must be anal retnetive and/or have an OCD if you have said it to me 1000 times AND have counted each time so you know you have said it to me 1000 times,
and
2. If you have said it to me 1000 times, and I'm still doing it (or not doing it, whatever the case) obviously I haven't learnt and never will, so why keep bitching about it? Save your breath and accept that I'm a pain in the butt.

Either way, you're at fault here, not me.
Cause if it's something really important to you (and if you're important to me), I would have changed. The fact I haven't indicates that either,
1. It's not important - so take the bug outta ya arse and accept it,
or
2. You're not important to me - which case why are we even having this conversation? Go away and leave me alone!!

"can I ask a question" and then before you say yes or no they ask......
I hate the people who say, "And it goes without saying..."
And then they say it! I mean, c'mon! If it goes without saying, don't say it! Just say, 'And it goes without saying' then stand silently for a few minutes not saying whatever it is that goes without saying.

bitter, moi? ;)
You like Finnish women? What?

LOL! You go, fellow North Carolinian! :D

"how are you?" "good luck" when you don't mean it :mp5:

Nice post. :)
LOL! Way to go, dude. Like .... wuzzzuppppp? :D

That's why whenever I've found whatever it was I was looking for, I keep looking in a couple more places. That way, it wasn't 'in the last place I'd looked'.

Jeff Foxworthy called. He wants his joke back.:p

"Hey, do you know where I could get some weed?"

Do I REALLY look like a dealer?

"How does your hair stay up like that?" and "why do you have your hair that way?"

if you don't have anything interesting to say: don't

Things like my father abusing me throughout my childhood?
Or like strangers shouting abuse at me for my size?

No, to be honest, I think the worst thing people said to me was "You deserve better"...

ZIEH!!!
(sorry, good/bad enough to be mentioned twice)

Oh, really?

"nett"
(see "nice". also, "nett" sind mit rose blümchen bedrucktes klopapier, trockenblumen und gehäkelte tischdeckchen. sonst nichts.)

Did you gain weight?

-Are you sick?
- No, why?
- You look like you were.

My personal favorite "Let me play the Devil's advocate."

...Argghh!!! There's that dreaded word again!

Sure. Niiiice... In same tones as 'sweeeet'. Not often, but I have.
e.g. "...so they gave me them for 1/2 price!"
"Nice."

See! It works. Maybe thats just here in UK though.

"I'm fat"



Goddamn stupid anorexic girls.

" your pritty"
when you know for fact that they are lieing

Here's a list:

"Oh, Snap!"
"You don't have the balls!"
The word Bling or any word derived from it.
"That's gay."

Annoying words/phrases:

* use of "like" when not making a comparison
* "get with the program". I think I'll pass, thanks.
* "all new". Is it even possible for something to be partially new?
* "new baby". Same thing. There are no old babies.
* Synergy, leverage, future-proof, pain points, re-tooling, white space, vision, implementing, brokering, and any other overstuffed and air-sucking phrase I am likely to hear in a team meeting.
* "weapons of mass destruction". Any weapon, used properly, causes mass destruction. Duh.
* "hot water heater". Hot water doesn't need to be heated. It's just a water heater.
* "he needs to turn around and do this". How will a pirouette help? Won't just doing the task suffice?
* "The thing is, is that..." Can you say redundant?
* "Where are you at?" Same thing. "Where are you?" is correct.
* "armed gunman" :headbang:
* "axed" instead of "asked". Learn to speak, for Pete's sake.
* "you can't take it with you". Watch me. :D <runs off with it>
