Words and Phrases That Need to Die
Sick of hearing a certain word or phrase over and over? Well this is your thread to gripe about it!
I don't know about you but the term "serious coin" to describe lots of money gets on my nerves. How about you?

Oh deal lord give me strength!
Normalcy. It was made up in the 20s by one of your presidents. S'only Americans that use it. Cray(-cray) instead of crazy used by adults. Using per se out of context. (and often spelling it incorrectly as per say) ETA When folks say "...no disrespect meant" when they've said something they know may be offensive to some/one. |

'unthaw' ........ as in, unthaw that steak before you put it on the grill. Now, just exactly what are you going to do with a frozen piece of meat on the grill - thaw it?!?!?!

Thanks to Write Divas. Com, some that bug me (and that I, also, am probably guilty of).
My personal favorite: "Have a good day". Please stop the madness. Overused Phrases and Idioms it’s only a matter of time calm before the storm before she/he knew it in a instant opening a can of worms it’s not you, it’s me pull a fast one can I take a rain check? you don’t know the half of it what she didn’t know ruffled feathers missing the boat curves in all the right places around the bend broke out of my reverie larger than life break a leg Redundant pairs or words that describe the same thing. The following list from Purdue Online Writing Lab is great. past memories various differences each individual basic fundamentals true facts important essentials future plans terrible tragedy end result final outcome free gift past history

Gee whiz Mrs. Cleaver
Hope no one said the word "neat" to eliminate from the vocabulary.
I believe this word is used by me on a diurnal basis. Some of the young 'uns cock their head with curiosity when they hear "neat". Truth be known, my favorite word is neat-o.

Sorry I just had to....I have the devil inside today...  Otherwise, the general confusion of their/there/they're and here/hear gives me fits. I swear I was an English teacher in a previous life... I read craigslist ads and just cringe

Have you ever tried to take anything from a baby, they scream the place down!

It really irritates me when people attempt to cleverly use the phrase 'what goes around comes around,' but instead say, 'what comes around goes around.'
What in the name of all that is holy does that even mean? It makes no sense. To make matters worse, it was even misused in a certain 1980's hit song! Every time I heard that guy sing that phrase it made me want to repeatedly stab myself in the ears. Skip to 1:13-ish if you doubt me. |

When people say " know what I'm saying"
If I knew what you were saying I wouldn't ask, or if you actually would say something besides " know what i'm saying" then maybe I would know. |

She/he/I "got a wild hare up her/his/my ass"! WHAT THE FUUUUUCK? Seriously? It doesn't even make sense, AND the imagery is just horrifying.
Plus, all the shortening of words. Cray actually doesn't bother me, but we're going to be grunting like Neanderthals soon: cray, totes, adorbs, peeps, obvi, etc. Can we really not say entire words, people? Is it THAT difficult???? And "amazeballs"? Holy fuck, it just makes me want to puke. |
