What words, phrases, and other stuff grinds your gears.

I was looking here to find how big of tires and wut lift I should get eating Hawaiian pizza wit my wife and myself but you cray cray with this thread. All you haters keep hatin

 

Lmao jk lol dat a repost

 

I detest it when someone says it's "muggy" outside. I dont know why, but that really pisses me off.

 

y'all

 

THIS^

I don't know why, but I absolutely hate when people say this. Every time someone says "I could care less..." I respond with "So then care less." It confuses them and probably makes them mad, but they need to know they're saying the opposite of what they mean. Maybe I'm a jerk for pointing it out, maybe I'm not. But at least I'm correct.

 

You couldn't care less good Sir.

 

I just thought of another one that bothers me. It seems that very few people know when to use the word "less" and when to use the word "fewer." They're not interchangeable. I know its a little on the anal retentive side to be bothered when someone says "less" when they should say "fewer," but I can't get over it.

People who type in all caps.

 

That is the only consistent word in most of my sentences. Sorry ya'll.

 

exqueeze me (when someone's trying to get by you)

brunch (there's breakfast, there's lunch, and there's dinner...anything else is a snack)

yolo & swag(I'm assuming everyone here graduated high school and also hates these)

 

Yeah, I have a staff member that says that - she hasn't a clue.

The ones that get me is when commercials say something like "use four times less...." . It should be use "one quarter as much" or "use one-fourth as much". I don't know if it's technically incorrect, but it just sounds wrong to me.

 

The last phrase that annoyed the hell out of me was, "and then", mostly said as an annoyance while you're speaking. Probably just a local thing, local idiots came up with it I imagine.
And then?

 

Chinese drive thru scene in "Dude, where's my car".......

Ha! Beat me to it!

 

And then......

 

And then, nothing else because I don't have anything else to say about that.

 

I feel a little better, at least these idiots didn't come up with it. Around here its said with a Spanish accent, "aaaannnndd then"

Thanks for that little video!
