I saw this on the news this morning and could so easily relate to this. What words or phrases are you tired of and wish would go away, like "whatever" or "it's all good"?

"Give 110 percent, etc" or "Only pennies per day" both make me want to PUKE.

I definitely hear ya with those. I'm also tired of that 'what's up, dawg' thing that has gone around. I don't know if that's a Randy Jackson/American Idol thing or not, but I'm not amused.

Hi ya bro. Sorry, I aint no one's BRO what ever that is.

My BROTHER uses that one on me all the time, from him I don't mind it. :laughing:

The one that make me "Puke" is when you thank someone for what they just did, and they say "No Problem" does that mean they expected it to be a problem and it wasn't or what??
How about a simple "your welcome"

I'm tired of everyone being a Dude, too. It may not be as popular as 'Bro', but it comes up enough. Use people's names, for crying out loud.

I hate anything that comes out of that flava flay guy, he just about drives me nuts running around with that watch around his neck. I don't understand why so many women want him.

The 4-letter "f" word pisses me off. But so many people blurt that word out with the same energy as they say "cheese" in a photo session. What does mention of that word prove?

My dad heard me swear a few times when I was about twelve years old...he told me, "son, don't use those words, profanity is the language of the uneducated and ignorant man..."

Using the "f" word proves nothing except the speaker is too stupid to use proper English. Tv shows and the movies are so sprinkled with expletives these days using profanity has little shock value.

He is a goofus, but a goofus with lots of money, there is your reason.

Apparently to attract hot women you only need to have money, some people are so shallow it makes me sick. I could not imagine spending any time with him, he grosses me out, the wife agrees too.

If the "hot women" around him are there for his money, they are as shallow inside as his dressing standards appear to be...I will never understand why people in the eye of the public dress in such bizzare, outlandish ways. Maybe they think it makes a statement "look, I stand out from the crowd" but to me it says "look at what a goofy doofus I am".

The whole "dawg" thing drives me nuts, why do you want to refer to a person as a "dawg"? I would take serious offence to being called that.

BFF. There is no BFF. Most likely a BF for now.

All the acronyms drive me nuts. Like BFF, AFF and all the things people use to send the text messages and that sort of thing, some days I don't even know what I am agreeing to.

The "F" word is actually an acronym from the old days of a young country, not really sure if it was even ours. In the constabulary's offices were several sets of penalties and fines dealing with whatever was titled at the top of the pages. For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was the title of one of these pages. You can see how it was shortened by acronym and eventually became a "dirty word" especially when prostitution is generally known as the world's oldest profession. I'm guessing it was in Puritan times.

I'm tired of "It is what it is" and "Whatever." Being called Dude by somebody even older than I pisses me off and makes me want to slap them silly.

And even though it's not words, I want to yank up kids pants today until I pull them off the ground.

If one more person refers to me as "Dude", I think I may lose my cool. I'm from Michigan, OK? I'm not some guy who rides broncos for a living in the rodeo, or something.

I associate "dude" with surfers not cowboys and rodeos. I also do not like the word, it drives me insane since there is no gender association with the word.

Bet you really hated that guy Hurley on "Lost"...every other word that came out of his mouth was "dude" :biggrin:

Lost really got me lost, one episode and I couldn't watch anymore. Some personalities just set me off and that is one that did, plus the show really made no sense to me.

I was a "LOST" addict, part of the appeal of the show was trying to figure out what was going to happen next, while figuring out what happened in the past.

Bret, you made me laugh on that..I think I am plain regarding that flava flava guy. The 'f' word simply pisses me off as well. I have a friend that also loves to say 'per se' that it is beginning to get into my nerves/

And 'you know' what I mean; it's just, 'you know', the most incredible, 'you know' experience.

It honestly, 'you know', drives me out of my mind.
