    when people say "y'know what I mean?" after every phrase they speak....y'know, or you know, is fine with me...just the whole phrase is too much to repeat like that.



    But I must give most annoying word to the UK (and others who try to imitate) for its use of the word "Loo"

    also "closure" and "issues," is it me or did these two words rise into unbelievable popularity within the last few years.

    and lastly...there is nothing wrong with You guys! It beats Y'all.

    When people use "junk in da trunk" when they're talking about butts. And sayings like, "word", "yo", "fly", "da bomb" etc. etc... Used by white people who are trying to be serious. (As in, not jokingly).

    Aaaand, when people say, "lie-berry" instead of "library". Or, "nuke-you-lurr" instead of, "nuclear". >.< Aargh, just typing this is annoying me!

    When I say "thank you", I dislike when people respond by saying "Uh-huh" and "No problem".

    if someone says "warsh" instead of wash, or say "crick" instead of creek i go insane.


    and the word like when used as every other word, as though its spaces between your words. there was a girl i knew who said like 43 times in 4 minutes of presentation in class. (counting was the only way to keep me from hitting her.. it made it more amusing)

    well.. about the you guys comment.. i say you guys all the time.. i think that that is a big step for me because my mom always says "yuns" i think it is a problem that in the english language one relies fully on context clues to distinguish between you singular and you plural... sometimes people just dont know if you simply say you .. who you are talking to. another option to make it more clear is to say you all or all of you or some of you or whatever but you all tends to be slurred into y'all which isnt all that great either. you guys is EXTREMELY corny but .. i like corniness so i guess it just doesnt bother me. :rolleyes: anyway, y'know and y'know what i mean bugs me after every sentence but mostly cuz i catch it rubbing off on me after listening to someone who talks like this and i have to pay careful attention not to fall into the habit of using those phrases as a sorry excuse for not completing the thought i wanted to communicate. liberry also annoys me as well as sammich instead of sandwich..hmm.. what else? i hate when people write kewl instead of cool. worsh doesnt bother me instead of wash.. i think its so cute when my grandma says that.oooh but in west virginia instead of saying right her they would say something that sounded like this "ri cheer" that was by far the most annoying thing i have ever heard.

    It's not an annoying word, but you know people who do the quote fingers when they're talking? Like Dr Evil from Austin powers. That shit is stupid.

    oh yeah.. not all old americans wear clothes that look like golf clothes but the few who dont tend to be ex hippies like my art teacher who wore long colorful skirts and beaded necklaces .. i think she may have been a rare exception though. that and my grandma who never wears pants or a dress that doesnt go down to about mid calf. always in polyester. :sunglasse

    i really despise the word "rather." like when people say "i rather like it" or "i found it rather amusing." quasi-intellectual crutch. i've moved to strike it from my vocabulary after i picked it up from my ex and realized how irritating it is.

    hearing it come out of the mouth of someone who isn't a brit but is somehow, for some reason, trying to pretend they are, is the most aggravating thing ever. people who like to "play" at being cultured make me foam at the mouth.

    we do that shit sometimes too just to be stupid. Like my sister and I will have an entire goofy ass conversation going we "went" to the "store" this "morning" and we bought some "chicken" blah blah "blah." with everything in "__" using finger quotes. We're so retarded.

    Ha-ha-ha... you're so right!

    I hate "nobrainer"... what kind of lame-ass catch phrase is that? I also get annoyed they way they "e-" everything... like e-friend, e-business or e-solutions. e-gads!
    Or how about when someone takes a noun, add "ize" to the end of it to make it a verb. If you're reading this you're "forumized" I suppose. And Blog... wtf is that?!? Who's too "clever" to say web log? ~7
