Most annoying sayings or phrases

'can i have the money first please'

[Macc]

You lot need to calm down a bit - I'm sure there are more annoying things.

That's rich


Actually, that's another one - 'that's rich'. God I hate cunts who use that.

im starting to get fed up of stuff like, wtf, ffs, oslt and glolz

not other people using them but myself using them, seems i cant write something on the internet without a wtf, ffs or a smilie anymore or it would be unreadbale oslt

When pl say obviously when its not obvious.

You want to try reading maths papers -
"obviously the birational endomorphisms of a motivic abelian variety form a complete disjunctive co-category, and so..."

pure math-jibbberish that's making my life harder every week..
other goodie would be " Proof: trivial" in math books...

"That's trivial!"

Yeah, I was once told that if you need to say "it's obvious" it's probably not actually obvious ie if something's obvious it should be obvious that it's obvious.

Undergrad coursework tends to be full of this as well - when they can't prove something and they want you to give them marks because you assume that they could prove it if they wanted but it's so easy they didn't bother....

Trivial's a bit better, particularly if they say why it's trivial eg 'the proof is a trivial inductive argument' or something... I use "proof: straight from the definitions" quite a lot.

I really hate the phrase, " get my (insert noun / verb) on "

"I could care less" when someone means they couldn't care less.

glolz

who says that?

[Statto]

Yeah, I was once told that if you need to say "it's obvious" it's probably not actually obvious ie if something's obvious it should be obvious that it's obvious.

As an editor I delete a lot of "obviously" and "of course", which are mostly just padding.
There are only two occasions when they're acceptable:
1) when something is totally obvious and isn't really worth saying but you want to say it anyway.
2) when something is not obvious but you don't want to go into any more detail so you write "obviously" hoping no one will ask why.

Thanks for your understanding Stephen. Given your experience we would expect you to be pro-active and help the lead/coordinator as much as possible, even if your primary task is complete.

saying "you know?" at the end of a sentence .. yes I do know as I was listening cheers...

when people say anyways instead of anyway

People who use "which begs the question" to mean "which raises the question."

As in "he said he hasn't got the files. Which begs the question, who has?"

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS, SPACKTARD.

It has a very specific meaning in logic, and that ain't it.

SPACKTARD

if there was a words you like thread spacktard would be my first addition

irregardless

for some reason i hate when people say ... "back in the day....."

There's a guy in work with me that always and I mean always puts "At the present moment" in every one of his sentences.

For Fuck sake, just say " At the moment"


And another guy that always says "going forward" nearly every time he speaks.

at last, somewhere to vent this hatred! here goes....

my bad

whatever

people even one day younger than you calling you 'kid' or 'son', never mind the ones who look about fucking 16

silly

people pretending the word gravy means ANYTHING other than the brown liquid you pour over a sunday dinner

saying 'shag' instead of mate, what the fuck??

swings and roundabouts

anything other than an animal or music being described as 'funky', eg, earrings/sofas/etc......ggggrrrr

.....continuing the lifestlye bullshit theme - 'light and (bastard) airy'

people carelessly throwing the words dirty and twisted about, esp when describing Pete Mong style ultra-clean and digital soulless tripe and not friggin Nasenbluten tracks

same difference

'a double expresso, please' - IT'S FUCKIN ESPRESSO!!!

'absolutely' when used as a single word agreement to a point you just made

lush

someone saying 'you look like shit' on that one morning you got up and felt good for a change

'there's no I in TEAM' - just as there's not in CUNT

brits saying 'this is too hot' when summertime finally turns up, after moaning about it being too cold for the past 8 months

mingin

and finally....'oh god, it's only a _ _ _' when you object to someone needlessly killing an insect or something, just for it being there

'a double expresso, please'

On a related note (maybe drifting off topic):
- bands whose myspace 'influences' list include Miles Davis, Lee Perry, Napalm Death, Juan Atkins, Sun Ra, Jimi Hendrix, Remarc, James Brown, Queen, Os Mutantes and Madonna and who then sound exactly like Keane.

- bands that sound like transparent ripoffs of other bands but complain about 'lazy journalism' whenever someone makes the obvious comparison. Or by extension, people who make really generic music and then complain about people pigeonholing them.

Actually, people using the word 'pigeonhole' when not refering to a little box that your mail gets put in or a pigeon's arse are almost always using it in that context and almost always annoying.
