Re: Over-Used Phrases That Make Me Scream!

The constant overuse of "actually" and "literally" by hosts and vendors.  (MarkCharles especially).

Re: Over-Used Phrases That Make Me Scream!

When people start every sentence with: "SO. . . "   SO WHAT?

 

No, it's a word not a phrase, but people say it al the time now. 

 

So, does it bother you????  Woman Tongue

I can understand thinking that "Hope that helps" sounds like, "Now that I explained it to you, do you understand now, idiot?"


 

Ok, but it doesn't mean that and I've never seen it used in a way that would imply that.    I guess taking something innocent and turning it into something snarky is just one of those internet things.

@chickenbutt  My take is that if people are miffed by HTH and "no problem" in this world we live in how, the days must be long and difficult for them.

@ShowMe~

 

"We'll See"...   Got a good chuckle with this one.  We used to say that to the Kids.  "Can we go...?"  "Can we get...?"  We would tell them - "We'll See" and the one who asked, would run back and scream to their siblings - "Mom/Dad said NO!"

Re: Over-Used Phrases That Make Me Scream!

I watch Judge Judy & she gets so annoyed when the plaintiffs/defendants can't talk properly. Especially when they use "like" & that happens a lot. "She was like and he was like and I was like"  ugh!   Also annoying when these people start a story with "Well, basically"..... JJ will interject with, "I don't want to hear BASICALLY!"  Watching JJ shows me how much people use unnecessary filler words & phrases. Another example of this is people will say,  "Well, to be honest"....to which JJ will interject sarcastically with "No, I want you to lie to me!"  LOL

That one doesn't bother me at all. I think it is interesting to see what annoys some and not others.
