Phrases you can't stand

"Step out of the vehicle, sir . . . "

"We already called last call, sir . . . "

"Just don't get any on my face or in my mouth . . ."

"Was she as good as me?"

A black woman I used to work for would ask to borrow "fifty cent" to get a soda and absolutely loved 50 Cents, the rapper. Used to drive me crazy.

(at least it was used in the proper context.)

I've always hated the euphemism "to make love," although I don't know if it's technically long enough to relate to the others mentioned. Still, though, it bothers me.

Peace out - especially if you kiss your fingers or put them to your heart before doing the lame peace sign….How about PEACE OFF twat!!

Though not a phrase but a word, for some unexplainable reason, I can't stand the word 'kudos'. What the fuck are they anyway!? I mean, I know what is meant when it's used but where on earth did the stupid word come from? (Please don't bother answering this because you won't be getting any from me.)

The phrase that really sets me off and makes me seriously question any good thoughts that I may have had for someone is 'mad props'. I cringe everytime I hear it and want to wring the person's neck!

"I need to hit the head."
Unless you were in the armed forces during WWII, that is where this phrase should stay.

it's better than "I need to use the facilities"

Actually, I sort of like that one.

But nowhere near as bad as when grown men say "I need to use the little boys room."

It's actually an appropriate sailing term. Sort of. Maybe not the exact wording. (Not that I like it either.) Probably quite the hip term to use for all of those Yacht Rockers. :roll:

used correctly, this can be mildly amusing, but only when it's clear that you're lampooning one who would use this to elicit a genuine laugh

Sorry, I have to agree with Econo. It never works even when it's fully understood to be ironic. Of course, if I heard some big bad ass say it in a very hardcore biker bar, I might just appreciate the absurd humor of it all.

Equally as bad is when women say "I have to go potty" or "the little girls' room". I have a friend who writes the word "poddy" which irks to me even more.

A guy at work uses "hit the head" line, and I swear, he is trying to get a rise out of me. (Can it, Rhett! ;) )

"Can it!"

I was going to say that, but didn't want to give her a hard time!

But i'm always up for giving Jag a hard time :p

How about:

"Sorry, I have to agree with…"

We darn well know you're not REALLY sorry…

Heheh. Sorry, I try to be a bit proper around here incase there are young ones around, but I end up sounding like a geeky, old fart. :p

Couldn't agree more. A phrase meant to describe a situation that cannot be changed, but most often used when people are too lazy or selfish to do anything about a situation.
