What phrase do you dislike the most and why?

"I could care less". People say it all the time and don't even realise it's completely wrong. harashawn

How is it wrong? They are saying they are not really interested but they will give you a chance. There is a degree of intrest.

As for "I have lost all faith in humanity." How arrogant could they be to believe people care what theythinkof humanity? It's just a cliche bit of melodrama.

I see.

MagnumPI

I see.

Plus, "I could care less is almost completely meaningless" in that it could describe the emotional feelings from caring slightly, to having a complete adoration for something.

[QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"] most people use that phrase when they are trying to express no interest instead of the correct I couldn't care less. SgtKevali

"I could care less" = "I don't really care." Which way you choose to state is up to you.

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".. An eye for an eye makes two people 1/2 blind unless you are sticking out your own eye after just losing one..

I really dislike when people "duh" me. Like, "Well it's supposed to be like that, DUH". It's such a rude, obnoxious term used for lack of a more intelligent word or phrase, and normally is said with such a condescending tone :roll:. If you're kidding that's all right of course, I can take a joke, but I hate whenever someone tries to make me feel stupid.

I'm sorry to ramble, I just really don't like it is all :P.

Irregardless. Not only because it's unnecessary tocombine irregard & regardless but also because irregardless is in the gamespot spell checker yet gamespot is not.

The phrase "Life sucks."

Truly life sucks if you suck performing at your life.

"Give 110%"

I cant explain to you how much I hate this statement when it comes to effort... If you are going to spit in the face of math why don't you just say something completely ridiculous like 983751873581%.

Shame on theathlete or worker who only gave 100% :|

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]The thing is that that just because you say they dont back it up doesnt mean they havent.......

I did too and another user showed with detail the fallacies you commited. I didnt see you return in that thread after that...........

And if I didn't respond the Topic was not on the First or Second page when I looked. Therefore, I figured no one responded.

Oh and another one for me is "quit following me!".

Women can be so rude sometimes =/

"If you don't vote, you have no right to complain."

But where's the logic in that? Think it through: If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and you screw things up, then you're responsible for what they've done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have zero right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote—who, in fact, did not even leave the house on Election Day—am in no way responsible for what these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created, which I had nothing to do with. Why can't people see that?

+1 for the reference.

George Carlin right?

I hate the phrase 'touch base.'

"I know, right?"

Makes me want to punch babies.

"The Grass is always greener on the other side"

If the grass is always greener on the other side then to you it is but for the guy on other side yours is greener than his therby creating a contradiction

"I know, right?"

two wrongs don't make a rightPerd1t1on

Yeah agree with your one op, hate it when people say it here although I can't pinpoint the reason why.

The only one I can think of atm is: "lifes not fair".

"IMO". I always feel like I'm being trolled.

"It's not natural!" - I see this a lot in same-sex marriage threads. Anyone who makes that point on the bloody internet is just setting him/herself up for looking like a mindless bigot.

"Who cut the cheese?" I hate that phrase sooo much.

My usual answer is "your mom".

Not a phrase, but I hate it when people throw the word "ignorant" around.

"I've lost faith in humanity."

Genetic_Code

I hate that phrase because people state it after every link posted on this board.

"Begging the question", but only because EVERYBODY uses it incorrectly.

It annoys me when people say "You know?" or like in almost every sentence.MysteriousKori

Papa Smurf always saaaaaaysss....because it's...Smurfy.

I dislike most banalities and clichés to be honest. I try to use idioms and phrases only to add color to my language without using them primarily.

"Grow up", "suck it up" or "man up", sound very patronizing.

"But at the same time" and "I could care less".

when i say something smart someone says - dont even go there

The question I hate most is, "Are you intelligent?". It's just one of the most dumb questions I have ever heard. What defines a person as being the most intelligent? Intelligence is relative to the subject at hand. You can be highly intelligent when it comes to global warming, knowing everything there is to know about the subject. However, you can't perform an open-heart surgery or even perform CPR correctly. Does that automatically make you dumb? How can you call yourself intelligent when you can't even save another person's life in the most basic fashion? It's just the dumbest question I have ever heard.Ghost_702

for me its "meh" itto me isnt even pronounceable and has absolutely no meaning, if you dislike something that much put it into actual words like an explaination. also when my friend says"the way you carry yourself" it has absolutly no meaning to me at all, i wish he could put what he wants to say into other words.

ill be back if i think of anything else. mostlikely i wont until the threads long gone.:P

"I've lost faith in humanity"

"bros before hos"

"I could care less"

"_______ is overrated"
