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.

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.

 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)

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.

"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"....

...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.

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.

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.

 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 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.

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.

 *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 . . .

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.

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!

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! ;) )

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.
