I could write a book on these. To start with people who say can I get instead of could I have. Its all IRL memes for retards.

One that grates recently is the other use and wrong usage of the word delicious.

Firstly its a self referential term, " I found the pies delicious" to claim you will "find the pies delicious" is rude, who are you to say?

This is overused in advertising and should only refer to god tier. It is I have also noticed overuse more often by females.

Oh and saying Ya'all if your not from the boondocks.

"Shooting The Shit"

Another way of referring to a discussion. What in God's name does shit and shooting it have to do with anything let alone a conversation?


"Don't Go There"

I am so sick and tired of hearing that, you have no idea.

"At the end of the day..."

A consultant when I worked used this phrase every single meeting we had with her and she made me sick with her bullshit to begin with...

It should "only refer to god tier." Sorry, but what?

"Hack"
1) Cut with rough or heavy blows.
2) Someone who is really, like really very fucking bad at what they do.
3) A taxi, or the driver of a taxi.
4) A generation so devoid of creativity that they can't think of their own unique terms for anything.

Any instance of 'would of, could of, should of, might of'. It's just :Wrong:

There was something said today at work that I didn't want to hear but I forget what it was. (that's probably a good thing)

This is something I've been hearing for too many years ... My Ask. My Ask is that blah, blah, blah. Who the fuck invented this corporate baby talk!

I remember. Queue

People think it's pronounced Q. NO, it's pronounced 'kay-way' If you want to shorten it to Q, that's fine but don't be ignorant enough to think it's the proper pronunciation.

There is Q, the letter. There is cue, the word. And then there is queue.

Never heard of Kay-way, ever.

Swear to goD, when I learned this word, it was pronounced 'kay-way.' Now, maybe my teacher or whoever was Spanishly-inclined and mispronounced it but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't just one person or instance. I'm going back 40 years or more.
I'm guessing your teacher mispronounced it.
