Phrases you can't stand

[eltee]

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!"

 But i'm always up for giving Jag a hard time   :p  
 
 How about:
 
 "Sorry, I have to agree with..."
 
 We darn well know you're not REALLY sorry...

  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.

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.
