Phrases you can't stand

You're in for a real treat!
Cool beans!

"That band blew me away".

When people try to sound like lawyers and they aren't. "Said band blew me away."

Hearing someone say "I just threw up in my mouth a little" makes me want to throw up in their mouth a little.

At the end of the day. Arrggghhh.

Calling me bro, or worse yet, brah.

I'm definitely guilty of calling my brother "bro".

My bad. It's a so cal thing. I'll try to refrain in the future.

I used to have to play nice with a guy that only called people "brah." But then again, he also said things like "for shizzle" in real conversation. And he wasn't being ironic.

"My bad"

Sorry, Smackie.

I'm blown (try distraught, maybe someone will care)
That's gay. (typical response to anything that can be viewed in a negative way)
Can I buy you a drank? (Latest Rap song, so many things wrong with this title. I believe in artist individuality, but this is ridiculous)
Where you At? (thanks T-mobile commercials)

FYI I am a high school teacher, I hear them all.

When I first got to DC I was in the back seat of a cab with a girl who had graduated BC (that's important here, I think) and asked a cabbie to take us to someplace. I said "Thanks Bro." Our cab driver was from Africa, but being from California we say that to everybody and thought nothing about it. She was mortified and gave me a lecture about how insensitive it is to African Americans and Africans. Needless to say, I disagreed.

"No, I won't give you my number."

Wow. Other than "cool beans" and improper use of the word "drank" I'm guilty of all of these nearly every day….

"Is she hot?"

"What would Jesus do?"

"tight" as in "the band was tight":

Unless it's a highschool band in a garage — any semi-professional band that is onstage in front of a paying crowd has to be, by definition, TIGHT.
If they're not, then it's appropriate to rag on 'em and use "tight" as in "the band was NOT tight"….

Worse. Boston College.

And I see now that I forgot the word "from," which may have been the problem.
