Quote:
And what about “I slept like a baby.” I know everyone remarks on this but seriously where did it even come from? Babies wake up crying every couple of hours and everyone looks peaceful when they sleep. So why? I hate “it is what it is.” No shit really? Let me know when it is what it isn’t will ya? And I use it all the time. I want to punch myself in the head every time I say it but it hurts and it looks really dumb. People pointed out that they were personally nauseating when they meant to say they were nauseated by telling others “I’m nauseous” so frequently that it is now deemed correct usage as long as one adds a verb before it such as “I’m feeling nauseous” or “I’m becoming nauseous.” I’m not a big fan of changing wrong to right because everyone is doing it. And besides it always made me laugh when people say "I'm nauseous." You can't help but think, yes, yes you are. It confuses me when I hear “well, it’s a moot point.” I’m never sure what they are saying exactly. Moot does not mean something is superfluous. It means its open to discussion. If you say it is a moot point it means you want to discuss it. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter, it means it’s debatable. It annoys me when someone says they are anxious to see someone or they are anxiously awaiting some pleasant event. Anxious doesn’t actually mean you’re looking forward to something. You might want something very much but you are not anxious for it unless there is a feeling of unease mixed in. You might be anxious to receive the report from the doctor but you are not anxious to see your sister unless she punches you every time you see each other. |

"I'm going acrosst the street."
No! No, you are not. You're going to cross the street or go across the street but you will never, ever go acrosst the street.  I will, however, note that the word exists in the Wikitionary. Seriously. Do not believe everything you read online! |

I know right?
It is what it is.( Gee what a concept) Thinking outside the box. ( My brain has never been in a box.) Critical thinking. ( Just because you are passionate about a subject doesn't make you an expert in critical thinking.)

Very personal pet peeves...
"You're so lucky you can't smell anything"
Oh yeah? In the same way that blind folks are lucky they can't see ugly people! "You're lucky, you're so slim?" No luck involved, I work at it. |

My pet peeve word these days is "smitten". It is a derivative of smite and smote. smit·ten [smit-n] adjective 1. struck, as with a hard blow. 2. grievously or disastrously stricken or afflicted. 3. very much in love. verb 4. a past participle of smite smite [smahyt] verb, smote or ( Obsolete ) smit; smit·ten or smit; smit·ing. verb (used with object) 1. to strike or hit hard, with or as with the hand, a stick, or other weapon: She smote him on the back with her umbrella. 2. to deliver or deal (a blow, hit, etc.) by striking hard. 3. to strike down, injure, or slay: His sword had smitten thousands. 4. to afflict or attack with deadly or disastrous effect: smitten by polio. 5. to affect mentally or morally with a sudden pang: His conscience smote him. 6. to affect suddenly and strongly with a specified feeling: They were smitten with terror. 7. to impress favorably; charm; enamor: He was smitten by her charms. Synonyms 1. knock, cuff, buffet, slap. Always makes me think of a love/hate kind of thing. |

Stop crying or I'll give you a reason to cry! How lame is this, apparently children cry at random for no reason.

Yeah, the first time I heard "I've got a wild hair up my ass", I about choked. It's a Southern thing. Never heard of it until I lived in North Carolina for a few years. I think since it's a cultural thing though, I don't mind. I actually found the Southern phrases kind of fun. For example: "Grinning like a possum eating sh*t out of a hairbrush." "Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers." I am so surprised nobody put the word "Twerk" on here yet. I thought it would be the first mentioned after mine!
