Phrases/terms that need to be retired immediately (1 Viewer)

Yea, No

"So Bob, did Tebow do great yestreday?" Bob: "Yea, no he did a great job"

Like

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but probably needs a bump.

 
My HS sophomore and his friends have a language of their own, but if I hear:

"I pelted you" or "I got pelted" or just "pelted", I will "kill until dead" (never heard that one before, Pickles, but I like it. Although I'm sure it'll end up in this thread sooner than later)

 
So what's with people shortening words to make them sound cute? This goes mostly for college aged girls:

-Totally = "totes"

-Maybe= "maybs"

 
"shut up" used to express delight

"You can go ahead and eat the last piece of pizza."

"shut up!"

"I just washed your car for you."

"shut. up."

"I'm going to give you ten thousand dollars."

"SHUT! UP!"

"you know what? #### you."

 
Another one that has probably been mentioned is when people follow up with "just sayin'" after they tell you something. I know you're just saying it, I just heard you say it.
:goodposting: I'm pretty sure I hate this more than anything else.
I have a FB friend who ends every one of her (sometimes really funny) status updates about her life with "IJS". <_<
One good use for it, though, is if you say something offensive to someone's face and want to get away with it."You and your family are a ####. Just sayin."
I was just thinking about this the other day. Reminds me of when I was a chubby kid and my friend told me I was fat. I was obviously hurt and he followed it with "No!, I'm just sayin'". Oh, ok. I feel better now. I didn't realize you were just saying. As opposed to what? Just throwing bananas at Abe Vigoda's left nostril?
 
Can't read entire thread - too long - so these might have been mentioned:

Most irritating: When a commentator (especially Billick) refers to a player with an "A" before them... such as saying "The Ravens have a Ray Rice ... yadda yadda yadda" It's not A Ray Rice. He's not a thing. It's Ray freaking Rice! A person!

Second: When athletes or commentators say, "First and foremost...." blah blah blah." Give it a rest already. When you say something first... it's already first and foremost! sheesh.

Unfortunately the phrase whatever is quite popular in Minnesota. With the college gurls this now gets abbreviated to "whatevs". If your going to use a blanket statement to indicate you don't care about something (that usually you don't want to bother to understand)at least have the decency to say the whole word. This takes not giving a turd to another level. All attraction dies once this falls out of their mouth and ruins it for me. :sadbanana:
 
'Mr. Pickles said:
"wait for it..."Never funny. Ever. Ever.
with the exception of this one time when...wait for itwait for it...nope, you're right, it does suck
