LIKE - e.g "its like a normal thing to do" - just lazy, bad grammer, with out thought or understanding - becoming common (street) language as it is being used in everyday conversation but it sdoes not make it right. Have we lost the ability to converse properly?
Isolation - A Tale Of Star-Crossed Lovers

Hate sayings that are factually inaccurate such as "sweating like a pig". Pigs have no sweat glands on their bodies. The only sweat glands that a pig has are along the side of its tongue.
"Like I Care"
"24/7"
"Keep Calm And Carry On" (and variations thereof).
I must be getting old, but the "kids" all seem to say "boom" what's that all about then ?
"You're too young anyway" , "Yeah, whatever." , "Swag"
The third one really makes me want to punch the person in the face.
if i hear someone use the word swag ONE more time, i'll stab myself in the face!!
I hate those three little words... 'In my day', especially when going on about how they used to behave. Another phrase that drives me nuts is have a nice day lol.
As you leave an establishment and someone says "have a good one" i dislike that expression.
People taking about giving 110% effort drives me scatty.
One that irritates me is "you know" after every sentence or statement! It's as though the person needs validation!
I am personally very guilty of utilizing the phrase "you know what I mean" in way to many instances.
"No offense, but...(followed by something that will offend)"
Don't be a pussy. You obviously believe in what you're about to say enough to say it, and you also have a sense that it's going to ruffle feathers (thus the warning), so it's disingenuous to throw a "no offense" out there. If you were really worried about offending, you would just keep your mouth shut. But no, you two-faced, passive-aggressive putz, you want it both ways, don't you. Pick a lane and grow a spine, mush-mouth.
To me the key thing here is: do you or do you not know that what you're about to say is controversial and likely to raise the ire of the audience? If not, then there's no need to use the phrase, but if so, there's a second question at hand.==>Is there truly no other way to mitigate the delivery, to make it less of a pointed shot? Or is it just a matter of wanting to get the opinion out there but reduce the collateral damage with a toothless disclaimer? The latter is the case all too often.
That's exactly the situation I'm talking about. Saying "no offense" in that case is duplicitous and cowardly.
It's still cowardly and stupid. "Falling for it" is beside the point.
"No offense" just means that they are going to be mean & offensive whether you like it or not.
just to interject..i love the word duplicitous
littlemissbitch ~ professional face ripper offer, at your service..
Overused saying or statement.... "No thanks, LM." hahahahahahahahhaa
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. Socrates I'm leaving, I'm staying ... I'm staying, I'm leaving.
I am done ... Oh, wait
Basically whatever statement or wording used to say one thing, and then having no conviction. Or just saying it for reaction purposes ... SO BORING.
