Words or Phrases You Never Want To Ever Hear Spoken Again .. .. (1 Viewer)

Can I hate "All about that bass", the "cheerleader" song, anything to do with autotunes, and cher for both her man-face and introducing the world to voice modulation?
 
No you may not hate All About The Bass....it may/may not be on my guilty pleasure playlist. ;)


Check out the Postmodern Jukebox version of it for even more hate. :D

I can't stand the lazy speech trend, which has become almost standard speech these days, of omitting "to be" when describing an action that "needs to be" taken, such as:

"The car needs fixed." or "The dishes needs washed."
 
"Actually...." used to be one of my pet peeves, but now when I hear people overuse the word "literally," it makes me want to glue their lips shut.

It's like the thing I hated got replaced by something seventeen times worse.

Jeebus. I've never heard that (yet?!) and I'm sure glad I haven't.

I probably overuse "actually" but at least I know what "literally" means. It never ceases to amaze me that "literally" has come to mean its exact opposite.

It clearly started out as hyperbole, and has now gone so far that there is no clear way to say literally and mean it anymore.

Since I only speak in hyperbole, I get the appeal, but I am sad that this sort of broke the language a little.
 
seconded on 'bae'
but the worst of all I haven't even heard in awhile so I don't want to jinx it... ugh, I don't even want to type it... it's "preggers"

Actually, I probably over-use "probably". I never make absolute statements -- well, almost never. 18 years in technical support will do that to you.

I too am sad about breaking the language, although a good friend of mine (who I don't see all that often anymore - note to self, call T) persuaded me through vigorous debate that such is the nature of language. We all have the impression that whatever change came before us is fine, and whatever change comes after we learned the language is vile and ignorant.

Words like awesome, terrible, a nother, decimate, and countless others come to mind, but generally speaking the evolution of language does not involve words picking up their EXACT OPPOSITE MEANING while at the same time retaining their original meaning. "Literally" still "literally" kills me.
 
When someone younger calls me "son" at the end of their sentence.

Malaka and ibetoneverything are the only ones who get a hall pass.

Oh, good call on that one. Horrible....

I know @bergs really hates that phrase. Seemed like the perfect chance to use it.

A member here once typed something they probably didn't mean to be funny, and it wasn't a "funny" situation, but that phrase was part of it and it caught me at just the right time when I was reading it and I "literally" lol'ed a little while picturing them saying it.

I love that English is a living language, and accept that it changes, and I enjoy that. In fact I love making up words myself. But we agree on literally. That's a special case for me too.

My sister got tenure a couple years ago, and coined a great portmanteau, when she announced her new fashion style for teaching was pajambiguous. I'm working from remote rocking that fashion trend myself.

This reminds me...

"I'm working from home". BULLSH!T you are. :D
 
"It's yours!" I believe many a man have shuddered at hearing that phrase :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
