I'll add when people say "YEAH!" instead of "YAY!" Two different words, people.

Same issue but with "yeah" and "ya". Example, I text or email somebody and they refer in the affirmative with "ya". I KNOW they think they are saying yeah, but instead I am given the uneasy feeling that I have accidentally contacted some random Austrian.

 
My little brother and all his friends have started using the term "dead @s$" to replace "seriously" and "honestly." Make it stop.

Urban dictionary

Obtuse vs. Abstruse
Click to expand...
WKRP usage (eta: neat board)

[Les pays Little Arthur to learn what Mrs. Carlson says about him] Little Arthur: She says that you're obtuse. Les Nessman: Ooh! Herb: [reading dictionary] Adultery... Admire... Les: Let me see that. [snatches dictionary away from Herb] Les: Obtuse... Herb: [snatching dictionary back from Les] Addle-minded! Les: [snatching back the dictionary] Obtuse! Herb: [Herb attempts to snatch the dictionary back from Les, but Les slams Herb's hand in the book] Addle-ow! Bailey: [entering] Hi, guys. Herb: Oh. Hi, Bailey. Met Carlson's son? Bailey: Yes. I've had the pleasure. Herb: Well, he's quite a kid. Let me tell you. [under breath to Little Arthur] Tell your dad I said that. Les: [excited] Obtuse! According to Websters, exceeding ninety degrees but less than one-hundred eighty degrees; lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility; rounded at the free end; dull. [looks and feels offended] That's an insult! Bailey: Les, take it easy. Les: Take it easy? Herb: Yeah. Just calm down, okay? Les: Don't tell me to calm down. I just paid five dollars to find out I'm "rounded at the free end"! Bailey: Cool off, Les. Herb: He's just mad because he's not addle-minded. Les: I am too. Herb: No. You're not. Les: [Herb and Less start hitting each other] Yes. I am. Herb: No. You're not. Les: Yes. I am! Herb: You're not! Bailey: You guys! You are both addle-minded! Les: Thank you, Bailey. Bailey: You're welcome, Les.

"Saved you a click".

Mainly after a snarky Facebook comment to a posted news link.

Example: NFL.com's post regarding Matt Forte not showing up to voluntary workouts. Some comedian posts "It's Matt Forte. Saved you a click."

Consider yourself throat-punched, tool.

Wow. Hadn't heard this one. These people need to die.

 
This might have already been mentioned or I might be the only one bothered by the way food is ordered....."I'll do the cheeseburger and let's do a side of fries".

 
anybody saying anything remotely related to "it's the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and expecting a different result)"

not only has it been beaten to death, it is also not the definition of insanity and people perform the same actions all of the time with varying results.

Agreed. People say the part about it being the definition like they really believe that's that actual definition. I want to punch people in the larynx when they start saying this phrase.

First you hate it.

Then you accept it.

Soon you grow to love it.

I'm at the acceptance phase for SWC.

At this point I have to at least give him credit for sticking it out for so long. I still go right past 95% of his posts because they're nonsense, but every now and then I find myself no longer wanting him to get bludgeoned to death by a gaggle of street performers.

Now I only wish that on MC Insecurity.

Never heard of it.

I do like the phrase "hot mess" though I don't use it. Usually hear it from southern girls and can mean really good or just someone that is kinda wild.

"That Jimmy Sue is just such a hot mess." - while grinning like she just blew him.

Ive heard and used "Hot minute" or "hot sec" (very sparingly) since I first heard it used in 1996.

Ive only heard "hot mess" used in the past 8-10 years.

 
There's an ad on Pandora for some company selling "bouqs" (rhymes with kooks). Apparently this is short for bouquet. Just horrid.
