    For a hopeless situation, I like "what can you do" better than using a tautology

    I'm single-handedly responsible for "it is what it is" blowing up like it has.

    I've been using it for 30+ years.

    Now if only I could find a way to make some cash from it.... :D

    I thought I was the only person that hates that.

    "said" as in- My old girlfriend grew up in Austin. Said girlfriend had three older brothers.

    That grates on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.

    "at the end of the day"

    I freaking hate that line. It ain't the end of the day. It's the middle of the day...and I want to know the situation NOW, not at the end of the day.

    To which I get the response:
    "it is what it is....."

    "To be honest with you..." So, every other time you spoke, you were lying?

    "Irregardless" That's not even a word.

    "was all" As in: "He was all 'Where are you going?' and I was all "To the mall!" and he was all "can I come with?" and I was all "WTF? LOL! BRB!" When did "was all" become a substitute for "said"? It's not even more convenient: it takes longer to type and say than the correct word. People who speak like that make me wish I was armed.

    I hate that one too. Hate it when people try to use "big" words and either use them wrong or just flat out make them up. The word "ironic" has to be the most mis-used word in the english vocabulary. I hear people in interviews saying "well, I'm very ironic." Huh? What does that mean?

    Not sure which is worse, that or "he was like 'where are you going?' and I was like 'to the mall' and he was like 'can I come with?' etc.

    Really? Is that was he was like? What were you like? Please tell me.

    "nah"

    "nice" - nice car, nice meal, that's nice

    "f**king" - effing car, effing weather, effing this

    "ummm"

    "uhhh"

    "like"

    "know what i'm saying?" "know what i mean?"

    "god bless you"

    officer says "do you know why i pulled you over?"

    This annoys the hell out of me too, especially whenever Screamin' A. Smith is on ESPN going off on some rant and then always says "but at the end of the day..." blah blah blah. He always says that phrase in any commentary he gives.
