OT: Expressions You Truly Hate

[Doctor Worm]

Not sure if these are still buzz words but when I was still working and we were putting in an Oracle system (15+ years ago)
We need to drill down to get sufficient granularity

And then we'll circle back next week.

 

[CERU00]

Since you went there, I'll include

Mostly peaceful protest

Ha, good one!

 

[CERU00]

Pick your brain. Really hate this one.

 

[bob-loblaw]

"Of course" as a response to thank you. That's straight crap in my book

 

[Vlife]

Delicious used to describe anything other than food, as in “What a delicious day”

Agreed...but "tasty" is legit

 

[koleszar]

Fur Baby

My God I hate this. I own a small farm with animals and all I hear is my wife's friends say, "how are your fur babies doing". I always feel like saying, "I don't know, but I can tell you the last batch tasted great".

Dead to me....
(there's another thing I say and hate.) hahaha
I'd like to add-
For the love of G*d.
I must say this 200 times a day.
I also assume I might be asking some people very soon "WTF are you high?"

 

[Purple-Ed]

Baby bump.

 

[WhiteBus]

It's not you, it's me....

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

with all due respect,

followed by something completely dis-respectful

Yes, this one bothers me too. Also starting off with “to be honest....”

So I’ll just assume you’re normally lying then if you don’t start with “to be honest.”

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

"Follow the science"

 

[WhiteBus]

I'm a big fan of "Good For You". Some people still don't get it.

 

[RU76COOK]

"My pleasure" spoken by every employee at a certain Chicken FF chain.

I hate when announcers (or really anyone) pluralize a player’s name as if there were more than 1 of each.

Example:
“The Derek Jeters and Mariano Riveras of the league/team.”

No Brainer

Announcer (usually the color man) fakes the belly laugh with a quick shallow "Fake 3 Ha Ha Ha's" after a play that was "too easy"...that really pisses me off!!!

I hate the written convention of putting a period after each word.

Dumbest. Convention. Ever.

Maybe it's a convention of i.d.i.o.t.s.

[mildone_rivals]

It's not you, it's me....

Nobody ever says that to me. They just tell me it’s me.

Also, I’ve said it to others a couple times and really meant it, ‘cause it’s always true. Usually, I get a response along the lines of: “no ****, Captain Obvious”.

Sucks to be me.

 

[RUtom]

Nothing burger

It is what it is....

Yup...good one.

Also:

Woke (what is the alternative: Coma?)

Fake News (which is it BS or News....can't be both)

Bandwidth. I don’t have the bandwidth to blah, blah, blah........

 

[RU Golfer]

Starting a sentence or conversation with the word So.

So, I went to the game. No it’s, I went to the game.

When did using So to start a conversation become the thing. Nails on the blackboard for me.

The same time UM did. lol

 

[Purple-Ed]

" Ya know?"

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Not that it matters.

 

[hoquat63]

He (or she) goes instead of he said

 

[1stand3rd]

Organic

[PiscatawayMike]

It's a win-win situation.

Um... no, it's not. Not matter the deal, somebody loses. It may not be immediately, but somebody is going to wind up on the losing end.

 

[Andy117]

It's God's will - usually used after something awful has happened.

 

[RuBird]

We can’t have nice things

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Corporate jargon can be pretty annoying too....maybe so much that a separate thread for it would make sense. But for now, I’ll keep it here.

Let me kick the tires on that a bit.

What do we need to really get to that hockey stick trajectory?

Let’s really button this up with belts AND suspenders.

 

[NewJerseyGuy]

“Nah...I’m good.”

Especially when “No, thank you” would be more appropriate.

 

[Rutgers85_rivals]

Is it in?

 

[BigRnj]

“ no problem “ used in place of “you’re welcome”

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

“ no problem “ used in place of “thank you”

isn’t that a response to “thank you” ?

I’m confused


but maybe ... it’s not you, it’s me ?

 

[BigRnj]

no problem

 

[Jjnik]

“Lean in”

 

[RutgersRaRa]

1. “Needless to say,” followed by saying something.

2. A set of circumstances is given, followed by “which begs the question....” Unless describing circular reasoning, it raises the question, it doesn’t beg it.

 

[red sail]

Some Former coach jargon I hated:
Right from the get go.

We all need to skate to the puck.

He had a leg...

From work:
That being said ... (what exactly is being said?)
We need to keep our eye on the ball. (Really?)

 

[RC1991]

“No. It’s Ok. That was nice. We can try again in the morning”

" Was I speeding, Trooper ? "

Or from the other side.
