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....

"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"....

people still say that? really?
for some reason, it really annoys me when people say 'cheers' instead of 'thank you.' i realize this is a european thing mostly, but it has always annoyed me.

Peace out.

Which reminds me:
Non-Europeans that use European phrasings, like saying "holiday" when talking about a vacation.

...just for starters.
"Awsome"
"Word"
"My bad"
"Have a nice day"
"Hey guys" - especially when addressing women.
"Hmmmmm mmmmmm" - When you've said thank you to someone
"Bloody wanker" - We don't actually say that back home you know.
As for "for shizzle" I don't even know what that means.
-
I'm just crushed here.
You all have hated for this long and nobody bothered to tell me?

in work... my least fav phrases are:
"no comment"
"i'm sorry, you'll have to speak with the public information officer"

The use of "You Know" peppered throught a sentence or other crutch phrase. I would rather hear pauses than these things over and over.

cant stand 'my bad'.
but i admittedly say things like 'cheers' all the time. i hang out with a bunch of brits in nyc, and it nicely rubs off. but i dont use the word holiday for vacation and needless to say they make fun of me for not using 'proper' vocabulary :D . cant win!
and the worst is "she's all - or he's all" (instead of she said) - its not said that much here, but in california i heard it enough.
and the word 'like' at any time when it definitely does not need to be in there.
phrases i cant stand online - anyone that uses the word 'definitely' and can't spell it correctly.

Originally posted by mrpee:

I don't remember hearing this phrase until 2004 . . . and then it seemed like everyone was saying it. Then I recently rewatched Boogie Nights and Kurt Longjohn says "it is what it is" (all the way back in 1997) to describe one of the poor quality late phase digital movies he and Jack made. That made me like the phrase better.
I'm not a fan of "vaca" used instead of vacation or "yummy" to describe anything . . . especially a non-food. . . for starters

Use of the words "notorious"/"notoriety" or "infamous"/"infamy" when expressing the idea that a DJ is well-known.
There was a time several years ago when it seemed like every DJ bio I read in the span of a few weeks (well, at least for Buzz-type DJs) included these. The culmination was running into a bio for someone named (if I remember correctly) DJ Deinfamous.

i was on a packed train last night coming back from coney island and a huge family gets on the train - and the mother thinks its really cute to have her ghetto family start yelling and screaming. we all stare at her like she's insane. after hearing this phrase - id rather shoot myself. the hipster guy next to me, started laughing so hard.
5 kids (about 5 - 8 years) yelling 'party like a rockstar' whenever the mom took their picture. i wanted to strangle them. needless to say if anyone ever says 'party like a rockstar' again, ill shoot them.

I hate all popular, overdone phrases/slang. especially the really ridiculous ebonics, it just seems like they're trying too hard to be different & accepted at the same time.
and I really REALLY hate "git er done." makes me want to get violent, and I'm practically a hippie.

I believe this started being popularized by Cam'ron upon being accused of being gay (heaven forbid) I think because he likes to wear pink. It's seriously lame.
I can't stand it when people say (or even print in new articles) that they "could care less." Really? how much less could you care? Because saying that means that you actually care about whatever it is you're talking about. You mean you COULDN'T care less. it's really simple. And of course I detest irregardless. I start grinding my teeth when I hear that and when I hear nuke-ular instead of nuclear. grrr. stupid president
-
Anyone who says "cool beans" gets on my nerves. They are the same people that scream "high five" and then put their hand up (like they are saying hi) and wait for you to join them for a very effeminate "high five". I'm not the most macho guy in the world, but that one just makes me feel not really that cool.
And while anyone who says "bro" is inexcusable, those who seriously address others as "brah" should be systematically rounded up by the government and sent to re-education camps like the ones dictators reserve for political dissidents.
The one that really kills me is the inappropriate use of the word "literally". As in "they were so awesome last night and their set literally went on forever."
I was lectured on the use of the words "douche" and "douche bag" last night and told that these words were "very 1995" and therefore could not be used. I often refer to people I don't like as "douches" ("that waiter is a complete douche"). Should I be dropping this one?

I am not a fan of "douche" but I find "douche bag" can be appropriate when "motherfucker" is just a little too hostile.
"Cool beans" is unbearable. I also hate hearing "disrespect" used as a verb.
-
Last two places I've worked, everyone said, "No worries". It was a early 2000 phrase that bugged me.
Now I say it. Ugh.

douche is acceptable, but moreso with another word. douchebag, douchemonkey, etc.

You're wrong. Cam does rock purple, but the whole phrase originated from him & that whole pink phase. So much so, that he had a nice portion of NYC & other swagger jackers on the East Coast rocking pink as well. Not me, cause I frankly don't think the Don Johnson/Philip Michael Thomas angle is all that fly. But do you. So now if this convo ever pops up, I've guaranteed that your ass will end up being right.
No homo. :D
-------------------------------------------------
*phrases I hate*
1) "Hook up" - One of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life. Apparently, it means anything from deep tongue kissing to full-on horizontal polka. Just keep your mouth shut (which is what you should always do, unless it was your 1st menage - then amongst your brethren/girls details must be divulged.) or state precisely what it is that happened during your sexcapade. That shit always annoyed me. Probably the brainchild of some cat that spent far too much time lying on his dick.
2) *scenario geek complaint*
"What's good, fam? What you about to get into?"
"Shit. Go scoop some CDs from Best Buys . . ."
COTDAMMIT! It's singular, not plural. Best BUY, BITCH! Best Buy . . . that always irked the shit out me . . .
-
hands up . . . legs spread . . . lift your sack.
-
"Step out of the vehicle, sir . . . "
"We already called last call, sir . . . "
"Just don't get any on my face or in my mouth . . ."
"Was she as good as me?"
-
A black woman I used to work for would ask to borrow "fifty cent" to get a soda and absolutely loved 50 Cents, the rapper. Used to drive me crazy.

I've always hated the euphemism "to make love," although I don't know if it's technically long enough to relate to the others mentioned. Still, though, it bothers me.
-
Peace out - especially if you kiss your fingers or put them to your heart before doing the lame peace sign....How about PEACE OFF twat!!
-
Though not a phrase but a word, for some unexplainable reason, I can't stand the word 'kudos'. What the fuck are they anyway!? I mean, I know what is meant when it's used but where on earth did the stupid word come from? (Please don't bother answering this because you won't be getting any from me.)
The phrase that really sets me off and makes me seriously question any good thoughts that I may have had for someone is 'mad props'. I cringe everytime I hear it and want to wring the person's neck!

"I need to hit the head."
Unless you were in the armed forces during WWII, that is where this phrase should stay.

It's actually an appropriate sailing term. Sort of. Maybe not the exact wording. (Not that I like it either.) Probably quite the hip term to use for all of those Yacht Rockers. :roll:

used correctly, this can be mildly amusing, but only when it's clear that you're lampooning one who would use this to elicit a genuine laugh
-
Sorry, I have to agree with Econo. It never works even when it's fully understood to be ironic. Of course, if I heard some big bad ass say it in a very hardcore biker bar, I might just appreciate the absurd humor of it all.
-
Equally as bad is when women say "I have to go potty" or "the little girls' room". I have a friend who writes the word "poddy" which irks to me even more.
A guy at work uses "hit the head" line, and I swear, he is trying to get a rise out of me. (Can it, Rhett! ;) )

"Can it!"

I was going to say that, but didn't want to give her a hard time!

Couldn't agree more. A phrase meant to describe a situation that cannot be changed, but most often used when people are too lazy or selfish to do anything about a situation.

Similarly, I get all sorts of info from agencies looking for opportunities for their acts, who use the singular "artist" to refer to more than one act. They do it in writing as well as when speaking. it drives me nuts.
