Stupidest conversational sayings

[The Sushi Bandit]

Poll question: Stupidest conversational sayings

don't you just cringe when someone says this in a conversation??

[Ron Mexico]

1. I'm going to be a hypocrite and go with the God talk here,

despite the fact that constantly I use "Jesus Christ" as an expletive.

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Whatever. n/t

[The Sushi Bandit]

3. ouch.. thats GOOD

[Gormy Cuss]

9. It means nothing. It's like yada yada yada

only with an edge of superiority.

[The Sushi Bandit]

4. A tie between Yo and Yada, Yada

Both lame!

[skygazer]

5. "No-brainer" makes me cringe

"On the same page" and "take it to the next level" are both obnoxious workplace-type phrases. But I guess the one that drives me craziest is when people say, "So I was like... and he was like..." LIKE WHAT, YOU FUCKING MORAN!!!

[The Sushi Bandit]

11. Sports Talk in the Office makes me Cringe

take it to the next level, bring it up a notch, yuck!

[Katherine Brengle]

6. The God stuff makes me uncomfortable--

it's not inherently bad, it's just that people who use it in casual conversation have a tendency to overuse it.

Last week, I was at the dr's office, and the nurse who took my blood pressure and stuff was so perky--when she brought me to the exam room, she said something, and I told her she was the most cheerful nurse I had ever met, and she said, "Well, this is God's work! God Bless you! etc, etc, etc..."

It's a "pro-life" practice, but there's a line, at least in my world...

[Arugula Latte]

7. If they start saying that stuff, I automatically knock 30 or so points

off of their IQ ...

[graywarrior]

8. Does that make sense?

I hate that one.

[laheina]

10. Others:

"This, that, and another" and "(s)he says." Granted, the second one is usually used by older people, like my G-ma.

[Maddy McCall]

12. The one that disgusts me most is one that black and white kids say....

here, black to white, white to black, black to black, white to white.

"Wat up, nigga."

God damn I hate that. I want to slap them in their mouths when I hear it, and I hear it pretty much every time we go to the mall, movie store, Sonic, or where ever.

[meow2u3]

26. White people speaking Ebonics--that disgusts me

These idiots either are prejudiced against their own race or they have a serious self-esteem issue. Either way, they sound stupid.

[mykpart]

13. "To make a long story short. . . "

By the time they use that phrase, it is usually WAY too late to make the story short.

[Fleshdancer]

34. That's why I say "to make a short story long"

It's much more accurate that way.

[Buddyblazon]

14. The one I think is stupid....

"You have a good one!"

I respond with either:

"Good one what?"

or

"My pants must be too tight."

[The Sushi Bandit]

15. Good one!

Opps!

[FunkyLeprechaun]

16. Since I'm Irish

I use my own version of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I go, "Jesus, Mary, and Josephine!"

I'm strange like that.

:popcorn:

[Katherine Brengle]

19. I started saying "Jesus Christmas" bc my FIL says it and I loved it, lol.

[Pool Hall Ace]

36. Haha!! My mom used to use that one.

She would draw out the last syllable of Josephine if she were particularly frustrated.

She would also exclaim, "Jesus Cramminy!" I used to think he was the guy who would accidentally receive Jesus Christ's mail.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Almost nobody agrees with me on this one

but it's like nails on a chalkboard to me when people say "able to" in the context of "did." Like, "I was able to finish the job."

I always think, "Okay... but did you?"

[The Sushi Bandit]

18. LOL!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. And the fucknuts who say "I would like to thank you"

or "I would like to....(whatever)" in the context in which they are already doing it, or "I just wanted to call and say thank you", etc.

"I would like to"? Just say "I am", dipshit, or "I thank you" or whatever. God.

I sometimes say, if I know the person well enough, "You would like to (whatever), but you aren't going to because...?" And then they say, "huh?" and I say, "You said you WOULD like to do this, which implies that you aren't going to".

Dumbasses.

[In_The_Wind]

37. *giggle*

I was able to finish the job but I didn't cause I didn't want to. :P So there!


:thumbsup:

[undeterred]

21. Other: Been there, done that...

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. The fuckwits who say "uh... uh... uh... um... uh... um... uh.... um...."

Jesus, just say the fucking words and leave SILENCE between them if you can't think of the next one.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

23. You know what i'm sayin?

I have a girl who sits across from me at work whom I had to remind the other day that it sounds like she's trying to be a thug. I kindly reminded her to use the phrase, "Does that make sense?" when she wanted to get the same point across. It makes the customer on the phone think they you want to make sure that you've explained everything correctly. I'll start flicking smarties at her next week if I hear her say it again.

[sbj405]

24. "I hear ya"

My obnoxious coworker says this about 5000 times a day.

[meow2u3]

25. Ya know what I'm sayin'?

Yes I DO know what you're saying! Do you think I'm some sort of idiot who can't understand what you're talking about the first time? Yo, I do have a brain in my head!

[hatredisnotavalue]

27. I hate when store clerks say "Have a good one!"

What exactly is "one"?

[LaraMN]

35. I hate when they get your name off your check and call you by it.

They don't know me- they certainly shouldn't be calling me "Lara" or "Miss/Ms/Mrs. W----."

[Dangerously Amused]

28. That's a whole 'nother subject.

As opposed to what, a half- 'nother subject?

[ashling]

29. "back in the day"

"just sayin'"

[Twillig]

30. You misfired on one.

and she said.. and I said.. (replace with a he for a guy)

Now that's not as bad as what we actually have to suffer.


What we have is:

'And she goes..and I go...etc. etc...'

OR

'And she was like...and I was like...'


And when did "I mean" become the new "you know?"

[Duckiesplaything]

31. Holla...! Fo-shizzle.....

Why do these people still draw breath?

[jpeg]

32. I hate slurring

Somehow "I'm going to" got replaced with the indistinct "Ima". I hate hearing it.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

33. "It goes without saying"

then DON'T FLIPPIN' SAY IT! :grr:
