Bro….

Not a saying but those that use it start every spoken sentence with 'Bro'. Basically about every 5 words.

Don't forget the "bruh" and "brah" variants. My 16 year old granddaughter has taken to the use of bruh quite often and it's annoying as Hell. And yes, she does get corrected "I'm not your bruh" by her Mom, Nana and Papa.
I am not the Six Million Dollar Man, but I might need that surgery. "We have the technology, we can rebuild him!"

Yep I was just keeping it simple. All versions are banned in my house. "Fur Babies" is a very close second. It's a dog or cat or whatever but not a baby. Humans are babies.

You can tell it is a mild August so far. Usually this time of year there is a bit of infighting. Looks like this year we are directing it at stupid sayings by corporate america and morons in general.

If we hit 100 degrees a few more times, I expect to see some personal attacks.

Lots of people preface some sentence/opinion with "I mean".

It annoys me, but at least it lets me know how much consideration to give to the subsequent utterances.

They're going to tell me what they mean by stating it, but first they're going to clarify that what they're about to say is what they mean. Some even go so far as to type it.

I assumed that since they're the one speaking, then it's what they mean. There's no need to say that they mean it.

I mean, come on.

Very similar to your complaint is people who start sentences with the word "So".

"Being called "boss" or "chief". Whatever happened to just "sir"? I'm 51. You're a 19 year old kid. I'm not your buddy. I don't demand respect but just a little courtesy."

I hate "boss" too. I never think it's out of respect, it always seems smart ass


Yep, not your boss, just know more than you. Sit back and listen, do what I tell you and you'll be "chief" before you know it too.

"new and improved."

If it's new, it can't be improved. If it's improved, it isn't new.

Use of "me" improperly: as instead of "My wife and I" it's "me and my wife." Or " me and her." Or me and the coach. That infection has found a home with sports announcers and media news reporters. Another is the use of "done." A turkey is done when it's fully cooked. A job is completed when it's finished or you're through with it.

Almost...
You should name yourself last in the series...

"my wife and me" would be the correct object form there.


But, otherwise, I'm 100% with you. I think that some people had it hammered to them so often in elementary school when saying "Me and Jim went outside," and corrected to "Jim and I went outside," without ever appreciating the difference.

Really the thing I have learned from this thread is that when speaking to pretty much anybody on the OB, one must only use the most proper of the Queen's English lest they be lambasted for not communicating in the correct format, and no matter what - do not use any local slang, sayings or idioms as that means you are obviously a stupid 'tard with limited vocabulary and mental capacity.

Disagree with the "wife and me" as the subject of the sentence but agree where it follows a preposition.

The correct word is the one that would be used if you were just talking about yourself.
"My wife and I are going to the beach" is correct as you wouldn't say "Me am going to the beach".
Whereas it would be correct to say "They left it for my wife and me".
At least that's what I've always been taught.

Responding with "You're fine" when I am being courteous and say "excuse me". I'm not seeking affirmation from you.

Correct. What I thought I said. The preposition is the difference. You were taught well.

I am incredibly tired of hearing the word "like" misused and repeated endlessly. This is a sign of ignorance. Learn to speak the language correctly!

When selling something, I hate the : "What's your lowest price", or, how they say it here in East Tennessee "What's your bottom dollar", which is even more annoying.

I'm not going to negotiate against myself. Instant block and delete. Make a damn offer.


Even worse is "what is you BEST price." I'm like, a hundred million dollars; no, make that a hundred trillion.

Sales guys hear that multiple times a day. You take it as a buying signal and counter with " How much are you wanting to spend?" Stops it pretty fast….one way or the other.

"Because ____________ is outdoors." I used to not be bothered by it, but it has increasingly bugged the **** out of me……not to a Sean98 level, but still. I can't figure out if people think it is witty or they need a qualifier for their thread to be read on OB. Either way, it is played out and annoying…at least to me.

'doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity'

No, it may be an example, but not THE definition.

I'm trying to break my two HS daughters of this habit. Annoys the crap out of me. I think it's just a bad habit like people used to say "dude" all the time. I know my girls aren't ignorant, they're in NHS and my senior has a stellar SAT score. I tell them to speak like they write and I know they don't write "like" every other word in their school work. They tell me I'm just old, LoL
