Annoying phrases

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:12 pm

That's right, it's time for THIS thread. Here we go...

"Smile! It's not that bad!" or any variation on that.

Uttered by some fat, middle aged bitch 99% of the time who compensates for her miserable life by putting on her phony happy face 24/7 and expects YOU to do the same. Don't make assumptions on my mood, you dumb blob. Just because I don't have some stupid grin slapped on my face doesn't mean I'm unhappy. It means I'm normal.

"Tell me how you really feel!"

BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh, man, what a knee slapper! And always accompanied with a smirk and a snicker, like you're being clever. You're not. I just TOLD you how I feel. Just shut the fuck up.

"just sayin'"

have been in school this past week and i think part of the navy's instructor training calls for using this phrase at the end of pretty nearly every sentence.

This new guy my company hired as purchasing manager is constantly telling people "let me just say..."

Let you? I guess you're going to say it anyway, assbreath.

What about the combo of, "It is what it is...just sayin."

FACT.

"No worries" is starting to age quickly.

"Boots on the ground." A phrase used only by the most frantic choad stranglers.

Soup to nuts. That's some faggy Army term, right?

No not specifically military idiom.

I've heard that too (and seen it spelled "ate up"), but there was one asshole (now dead) I used to work with who always used the "squared away" version as well a shitload of other trite cliches.

Woulda thought you'd greet that request with Open Arms. Probably Wags's suggestion...

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:52 pm

uh, no.

Journey was another 80's band that sold out. How in the fuck you go from Wheel in the Sky to Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' is beyond me.

They're coming in concert in September along with Foreigner at Starlight. Wifey can get free 7th row tickets from her employer and I'll probably go just to see Foreigner and then leave before Journey hits the stage.

Or the variation, "I have to say..."

As if there's a gun pointed at your dome.

A bit of Sales 101:

Use of the term, "I'll be honest with you," is patently verboten. Actually had this discussion with a new client recently who shared that he was worn out by the phrase used by reps pitching the virtues of their respective companies. Said he was left with the impression of, "oh, so you've been lying to me all along?" once the offending phrase was proffered. Sharp cat.

Bingo, and I can't believe it took 27 responses before somebody trotted that one out. Easily the most annoying utterance to ever dribble out of some mouth breathers voice box.

I'll also add from my boss:

"I'm sorry you feel that way."

Translation: I don't agree, and don't give a shit.
