Saying, expressions, etc. that irk you (and why)
|
"like".
"Like it's always like I say to you, like it's something really, like important, and like I really, like, need to like say it"! There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron. 
awesome....
WTF?? "Had a 'awesome' convo with this 'awesome' biped and well it's just 'awesome' how they think..... " You get the idea..."Like. & .Awesome....have substituted fuck as the most gratuitously abused word in the english language "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest."

"Let me be clear..."
"Let's be clear..." Ever since the 2008 presidential elections, that expression entered political dialogue like never before, becoming extraordinarily overused. It now makes my blood boil when I hear it, which is way too often. (It also 'aggravates' me the way Obama whistles his S's.)

I hate it when people say "It can't get any worse than this" because it can always get fucking worse for fucks sake.
I like how my brother says he responded to the above recently, he said something like "Oh really? Imagine things being just as bad as they are for you now, but you've also got your dick trapped in a vice."  RE: Saying, expressions, etc. that irk you (and why)

I dislike most phrases that use negatives to portray a positive and vice-versa. Why not just say that something is what it is and not mask it behind what it is not?
Things like saying "The party couldn't have been better!" while in a sarcastic tone it is humorous but while spoken sincerely it is sort of annoying. Because in all likely-hood the party in question could have been better. If not then why not just say "That was a perfect party!" but even I fall victim to this annoyance at times, unfortunately.

"Awesome" only has so many permutations. "Fuck" has hundreds.

No, Syn, wrong. The broad and astounding versatility of the word fuck leads to epic pwnage. Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word fuck. Out of all of the English words that begin with the letter F, fuck is the only word referred to as the F-word. It's the one magical word. Just by its sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate, and love. Fuck (as most words in the English language) is derived from German, the word ficken, which means to strike. In English, fuck falls into many grammatical categories. As a transitive verb, for instance ("John fucked Shirley"); as an intransitive verb ("Shirley fucks"). It's meaning's not always sexual; it can be used as an adjective (such as "John's doing all the fucking work"); as part of an adverb ("Shirley talks too fucking much"); as an adverb enhancing an adjective ("Shirley is fucking beautiful"); as a noun ("I don't give a fuck"); as part of a word ("absofuckinglutely" or "infuckingcredible"); and as almost every word in the sentence ("Fuck the fucking fuckers"). As you must realize, there aren't too many words with the versatility of fuck—as in these examples describing situations such as fraud ("I got fucked at the used car lot"), dismay ("Ah fuck it"), trouble ("I guess I'm really fucked now"), aggression ("Don't fuck with me, buddy"), difficulty ("I don't understand this fucking question"), inquiry ("Who the fuck was that?"), dissatisfaction ("I don't like what the fuck is going on here"), incompetence ("He's a fuck-off") dismissal ("Why don't you go outside and play hide-and-go-fuck yourself?"). I'm sure you can think of many more examples. With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word? We say use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly: "Fuck you!" ("The Word Fuck," by Jack Wagner)

"Absolutely" as an affirmation makes me want to reach for the nearest blunt object.
"time poor" and "quality time";both terms are without meaning and are used by the shallow and self important. 'dialogue' as a verb. Using a foreign adverb to qualify an English word. Usually 'tres' 'or 'uber'. Using French personal pronouns when speaking English, unless taking the piss. EG Miss Piggy;"Pretentious? MOI? " 
"You are being WATCHED!" used as a threat... (generally by the religious or religiously political)
my response usually is "On a fucking Planet of some 7 billion people, I should bloody well hope so!!"  "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5
