Over used words /phrases

[eclipse]

Paula's Tacky Thread got me to thinking about words and phrases that are overused and that I just don't like!
Like:

Like
gentle reminder
politically correct
You go girl...(what the hell is that about?)
think outside the box

plastic/paper
preowned vehicles (It is a used car!)

anyone else have some they cringe at?

[GODDESS6]

whatever
NOT
my bad (man i hate this 1)
anything followed by "ism"
right on...my brother is guilty of beating this to death~

that is all i can think of right now~

[jannieC]

I hate when someone says "Kudos!" :mad:

There are plenty more, just can't think of any right now.

[JazmenFlowers]

words I overuse on a daily basis and even on the ledge:

totally
for sure
awesome
I'm like
like (in general)
you know
really (as a question AND an answer)
I mean

and even though this is a little OT, I have a habit of making up words...and in my head they sound right, but they are obviously made up. and of course I can't think of an example right now.

-Bling.

I HATE the word bling. It makes me cringe, and it sounds stupid - and generally, I hate it.

-Peeps. ALso SO incredibly stupid sounding "me and my peeps" give me a break - HATE it!!!!

[skcin]

FYI


Even thought I use it all the time. :p

I hate when someone says "Kudos!" :mad: Especially when they mispronounce it, or use it as a plural or false singular.

How does one mispronounce Kudos?? Actually ok - once I was listening to NPR and Robert Siegel said "kuh-doss" I was under the impression it was pronounced "Koo-doze" which is it?

[cliffdweller]

Phrases I hate:

"pro-active."

" I know, right?"

"hella" (unless you're referring to the band)

[chiliD]

I'm in agreement with most already posted...add these to them:

"win-win situation"

"surreal"

[estranged4life]

"word"-Which word? Do you not know the word? Buy a damn dictionary ya stupid asshole!

[DavidMn]

Sometimes when people call me "Dude" that bothers me, but not always.

[GODDESS6]

[goldustsongbird]

I loathe "too funny".

I hate when people say "very fun" :mad: :rolleyes: "Our trip to Florida was great. Very fun!" Yeah, yeah, I'll give you very fun...

[Sahara]

awesome


Woops.

Er ... sorry about that! :rolleyes:

Words I overuse: Awesome, awesomeness, groovyness, groovetastic [a personal favourite] fabulásach, too funny, starting sentences with the word no .... the list goes on. :distress:

Apologies to all whom I've irritated!

[eclipse]

:cool: Oh - you have not irratated me at all and this wasn't meant as a personal critique' or whatever...just venting about expressions I am sick of..that mean NOTHING>>>
such as:

e-mail me...
but, honestly...
No...You really look great in white pants...lying,lying,basta@@rd, \uUnless you are 21 and weight 105...no one looks good in white pants, and while I am at it...
Why is it that all Designers think the woman/girls/adults... (all of us over 25...) really need to look like 17 year old boy that they designed those jeans for???
No seperation between waist and hips?
Cute when you are 12 but not very nice to look at when you are 30. I personally like my hourglass figure and think it is sexy :cool: but if they fit my waist they don't fit my hips... REAL Women have hips :sorry: but it is a fact!!!
Enough babbling from me tonight
"catch you in the AM" another stupid phase :distress:

Phsah! real FAT women :p No, I'm totally kidding - because I totally agree...it's so HARD to find jeans that don't appear to be made for a 12 year old boy....or super skinny gal....I want cool jeans that aren't mom jeans!!!

Dude, you'd never survive Southern California. ;)

[BTFLCHLD]

"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."

[Rickypt]

I hate the use of so in sentences like "That is so not funny".

I also hate the phrase "way cool" which my 50 year old boss uses all the time.

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^
I do that all the time. that is so not funny, that is so not cool...

"eat my lunch"

I hate that phrase.

[Rickypt]

^^ I guess I don't hate it. It just bugs me a bit. "Like" also bugs me, but I say it all the time.
