Alright, so everywhere I go, I keep seeing the same words and/or phrases being used REPEATEDLY! Quite annoying. Let's get the ball rolling on the most annoying words/phrases: 1) "Bigs" - in reference to big men in the NBA 2) "Assets" - Morey used it once, now fanboys repeat it over and over again 3 ) "Cool story, bro" - Ummm......ok i admit its funny, but in every thread? 4) "Help my child..." - Geez, help your own damn kid 5) "pop corn flick" - WTF does this even mean? Is this just another phrase to describe mediocre big budget films (i.e. Transformers 2, etc.) Keep it goin...
That's what she said. Ugh. Also, when people use the word ironic incorrectly. I was just thinking about you the other day. How ironic. No dude, it's just a coincidence.
as applies to the bbs - i am a 'hater', if you will, for the term 'hater/hata' its just lazy to dismiss someone as a 'hater' when they are critical of someone/something. but unfortunately its a term that has become more popular over the last few years. this idea that when you are criticizing someone you 'hate' them. its a phrase people use when they are too lazy to have an honest debate about an issue.
It drives me bonkers when a poster incorrectly uses there/their/they're multiple times in the same post. Ex: Tracy McGrady isn't going to help there team I don't care how many points he scores over there. Their just isn't anything he can do to make up for his bad attitude. I just don't get it. It is obvious that they KNOW "their" are multiple forms of the word and yet they still can't bother to use the correct form?
Irregardless of the fact that the definition of ironic is not what most people think, it has really been adopted as such.
Prior to the 2004 summer olympics a reporter asked a U.S. female athlete if she found it "ironic" that she would be racing against one of her old training partners (or something like that). The athlete responded, "not by my definition of ironic".
There should be a new maxim that when somebody resorts to calling another person a "hater" they should be automatically disqualified from participating in the rest of the argument. It does produce a few lulz though... Spoiler
"Goes hard" Damn that sandwich goes hard. That song goes hard. References to something being really good or awesome. What the heck? Where did "hard" become the new "bad"?
Very true. The same thing happened with "dilemma" It is supposed to mean a choice between 2 unsavory options, but now it is commonly used as if it means a difficult choice.
It's the word I absolutely hate the most. I let most grammatical errors go. I let the misuse of words go. (Ex, I would never correct someone for their ironic use of irony) Irregardless? That I cannot abide.
