"Home" buzzwords I HATE (1 Viewer)

I just heard someone say "no" and "headache" in the same sentence and I want to put my #### through her "window".

 
Overuse of 'literally.'

My kids have a term tha bugs me, 'versing.' As in 'who are the Nationals versing this week?' Or 'I'm versing Niko on the FIFA game on the Xbox.' It's in the kids in their school. Can't stop it.

My kids say it too. I found it really odd, but :shrug:

Another one: ending a sentence in 'yo'. My 5yr old, god help me, has been saying it lately. I told him to knock it off and he asked why. I said "because you sound stupid when you talk like that". "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Daddy said a bad word!!" :hot:

 
Yes, "versing" has taken over and there's no turning back. We had a whole thread about it a while ago.

I actually kinda like that
Actually or literally?
Actually. As in the surprising version of actually. I've surprised myself that I like that silly ####
Should have put a wink, I was jokingly referring to how everyone seems to say "I've literally been loving that since the dawn of time!!!" ;)

So our kid is 3 months old...so not saying it yet. Any tips for preventing this? I've never heard of this until today, and I'd like to stop it.

Don't let him interact with any other kids. Move to nowhere Alaska. Move to a non-English speaking country. That's all I got.

 
So I have two that come from my SIL's.

The older one says "literally," ALL the time, so I'm in with Mr. Ected on that one.

The younger one does this thing on Facebook...she ends sentences with the word "though." She'll post a picture of our 3-month old (her nephew) and say, "That face though." Or she'll post a picture of a good meal and say, "This dinner though." I've started responding "though what? What about that dinner?" She just gets confused.

She ain't got no chill tho

When everybody started versing each other, and one combatant or another was sure to be beasting, I jettisoned all social media and doubled down on hard liquor. I intend to spend my golden years in a curmudgeonly haze.

Is this how our parents felt??

Not mine, because I was groovy. :shrug:

 
"Well, actually..."

that means- "you're wrong, here's why"... even when there isn't any right or wrong in the specific conversation. My least favorite two word combo in the English language. And one my brother and his kids use to preface just about every sentence they've ever said.

you with me or against me?

there's no middleground here, sporto.

 
My wife is Asian and always uses he/she incorrectly - it appears there is no he/she in spoken Mandarin. Drives me crazy when she starts talking about a woman and then hits me with a "so he said...".

This happens constantly at work with my two colleagues from China. Most of the time all shes are hes, but they will correct it immediately, almost unconsciously.

I've pointed it out and they are like "really? I do that?"

They all say it and it drives me up a wall. Where did it come from? Is it going to be in dictionary in ten years?

 
"Versing" (instead of "playing") reminds me of "one up" when the kids play a video game. It's "extra man." I will, under protest, also accept "extra guy."

And while we're here, it's a "board" not a "level."

Oh, I'm on your side in this war, make no mistake.

IT'S ON, people who say well, actually. :football:

 
"You know what I'm saying" or "You know what I mean".

Yes, I'm conscious and I understand the English language.
My sister says, "Does that makes sense?" after making very simple comments.
Is she in sales? That is standard speak for salespeople. I want to punch my colleagues in the face when they pull that #### in general conversations. I would bet teachers use that phrase a lot as well.

I notice that a lot of them get it from their game schedules (soccer, baseball, etc.). The schedule will read: Tigers vs. Lions. So, they think the verb is "to verse."

Wait... so this is real?

kids are saying they are going to verse another team in some sport? I thought this was some Mr Ham rap-battle thing.

 
Versing is universal now.

I like it. Sure it's a made up word, but everything was at some point, and this one makes total sense.

 
My problem with "you know what I'm saying" is that people tend to say it instead of completing their thought, so you have to guess what they're saying instead of them just saying what they're saying

Yes, I hear it all the time (I coach all my kids' teams). "Who are we versing today?" "What team are we versing next week?"

 
"Look, I'm giving you 5 minutes to get the mariachi band out of here and put the furniture back the way it was."

I was flipping through Sirius channels on a long drive and listened to some of Ed Lover's show on Backspin (old school rap). He had some guy on (don't know who), who said "know what I'm sayin'" literally every other sentence. I swear he said it 15 times in a minute.
