Oh and I hate it when people use the *OFFICIAL* tag on their thread title when the thread is not official... I don't think that is a phrase though... Oh and I dislike it when people on this forum always post fuck as fvck. I really don't understand what the hell they are thinking.

Fvck is better than *****, for any curse word, if ATOT remembers.

We need to talk.
It's not you, it's me.
Can we be friends?

 

[ManyBeers]

In posts I'm tired of.... "sadly"...."that being said".... "having said that". They are worn out phrases(though sadly isn't a phrase) it still sucks.

As far as. Quote, unquote (though, I catch myself using this shit sometimes)

With all due respect, I personally think some these items shouldn't of made this list. Absolutely there are some phrases that, while fairly unique, are extremely irritating. It's a nightmare to listen to them being uttered 24/7. There's probably someone saying at least one of these phrases at this exact moment in time! I mean, it's not rocket science, people! But I guess, at the end of the day, we all are guilty of saying stupid things found in the English language . It is what it is..

::standing ovation::

Very good! Lol.

:thumbsup::beer:

"Going forward" and "mute point" need to be in there somewhere. I don't mind #6.

"I have a headache"

I find the now common pause "you know" irritating. This is especially true when said by news reporters; if a news reporter in the field says "you know", why is he or she reporting it as news? We already know it!
"You know" may be used as an interjection, but it seems to have replaced "um", "er", "eh" etc as a trite pause..

I particularly hate these catch phrases.

Here's a good example of a podcast I listened to recently where the guy uses "you know" an insane amount of times:

At times, he does it so quickly, it can be difficult to catch unless you're paying attention.

And yes, anyone that uses "should of", "could of" or "would of" should be shot.

can you really tell the difference between someone saying would of and would've? unless they take a pause between would and of, then i just don't see if.

 

[IronWing]

Search warrant!

I don't mind that. It's just the stupidity of saying "I could care less" when you mean the opposite that bothers me.

***OFFICIAL*** means that what you are posting is rumor and conjecture, or better yet, made up by you on the spot. it's from a long ago poster who made up rumors about 3Dfx and always posted things like ***OFFICIAL*** and ***CONFIRMED*** for the title of his rumor threads.

I just listened to < 2 mins and heard "you know" probably more than 15 times.

You know, that's a, you know, very good, you know, example

"Going forward" and "mute point" need to be in there somewhere.

The phrase is "moot point". "Mute" is the inability to vocalize.

I once wrote a college midterm/final essay using "mute" instead of "moot" and realized what I had done with seconds left in the exam. Knowing I could not proofread and correct my essay in such a short time, I just left a note at the end of the paper, "mute is supposed to be moot".
