Phrases that drive you crazy

[c.ortiz108]

When referring to oneself in the first person, "i" is capitalized. Also, you used an Oxford comma where you should have thrown in an "and" to complete the list.

Yeah, I'm correcting your grammar correcting post. Take that, Matt.

Oxford commas are the shit, yo.

Maybe they meant Ass To Mouth machine? I got nothing for VIN.... Haha

Vaginal Interior Navigation? What?

In effect what they're really saying is automated teller machine machine and vehicle identification number number.

That's because they work for the Department of Redundancy Department.

People who use "literally" when something clearly isn't.

"I literally died laughing!"


And FWIW (initialism) some of you improperly made a reference to acronyms. Acronyms are pronounced as words, initialisms are just that, initials of a word, and are not pronounceable.

ATM (initialism)
VIN (acronym)
WTF (initialism)
SCUBA (acronym)

Tootles!

I hate the phrase YOLO.

Jack Black said it best when referring to people who think this is unique or cool.
"YOLO is carpe diem for stupid people."

 

[StogieNinja]

Right, totally agree with all the above. People that do that drive me crazy. Just sayin.

Dude... you on that juice?!

 

[oside]

"... Or nah?"

"Want to go to lunch with me or nah?"

Totally unnecessary.

 

[Mr.Draned]

The misuse of the word "literally."
Most things that teens say I don't mind, if in casual conversation.
That being said, in my classroom they are only allowed to use formal language. I figure that even if they speak slang outside of school, the repetition of proper language in class will eventually work its magic!

[Mikenice81]

Seriously, for real, dats true, nah mean, fa sho,

If a person says "nah mean" or "know what I mean" more than twice I say, "no, do you?"

You be (anything)

[Sirspanksalot]

You guys seem to just be naming phrases most people within my age group say. Most of which I agree with, and some that I say lol

When I talk to the guys at work, I say "...but the take home is this..." and get to the bottom line.

Does that sound annoying?
