“Cool beans” Has always irritated me.
While the phrase rings a vague bell, I don't think I've ever actually heard anybody use it. Could easily imagine it getting on my nerves though. Pretty lame.
Here in the UK, people often use it as praise if someone’s done a great job on a TV talent programme, for example, but it was originally used as a hideously derogatory way of saying ‘I had sex with a girl’. Absolutely horrible!
Perhaps because I'd seldom heard the phrase used in a sexual context, I never really made that connection. And I suppose most people don't think about it in that way. But before "smashed it" became popular, it was always "nailed it". So yeah... I guess there's a common theme there lol. Dodgy.
Severe overuse of the word "literally".
Overuse or misuse? Misuse annoys me. In fact, it makes my blood boil. Like, literally.
Whenever someone says "I could care less"
Do you mean as opposed to "I could
n't care less"? Or do you just mean that you don't like the phrase generally? I must admit, I'd never heard anybody use "could" in this respect till I joined the TMF. Don't think you would ever hear a Brit say it - always "
couldn't care less".
Could care less doesn't even make sense in that context, does it?
Not counting typos or autocorrect. That shit happens to the best of us.
Like the way you crowbarred that in there lol. I'm saying nothing.
When people use the word "no" as an affirmative. Example: "No, I totally get that."
Indeed. What annoys me more, however, is when a person starts a sentence with, "No, yeah..." or, more commonly, "Yeah, no..." lol. "Yeah, no, you make a good point..." And you think, well I must have done, cos you contradicted yourself in the first two words of your response! lol
Whenever I see Manager Guy or Office Guy throw out plastic turds like "what do you bring to the table?" I want to get out of my seat, grab the edge of that folding table, and turning it up violently their way, pointing towards the moved table and saying calmly..."this."
lol! Had a good chuckle at this.
