I've seen many variations of the phrase "thumping your chest" on here lately and it makes me want to throw my wife down the stairs. Not sure why. /coolstory

So, what phrases drive you crazy?

Pretty much everything you say.

I fixed mine for you, whiner.

"Hope this helps" is the most outplayed phrase on here.

Wherewithal

Not a phrase, but a word I hear way too often in sports analysis.

lol, it wasn't just your post, a ton of people use it. Yours just reminded me that I wanted to make a thread complaining about it.

As a retired coach it will never bother me to hear " My bad" again.

Also, I hate the buzzwords and acronyms used in the corporate world. Two of the main reasons I left my job at a big company to work for a small agency.

I also hate when women say "I have mace" when I'm just trying to start a friendly conversation.

Any phrase misusing "literally". I'm quite sure your head did not literally explode. I wish it had, but it didn't.

"I will eat it cold". That's BS. Everyone knows it's always better re-heated in a skillet on a stove.

It is what it is.
Body of work. - Sometime in the past 3-5 years, this phrase (which used to be confined to the world of art) spilled into the sports venacular.
No question about it.

Lol I recently dropped the chest thumping line.

I am not a fan of people using derp (I guiltily admit I used it once), especially when they are teachers. Also not a fan of any huddle phrases. Always thought they were idiotic and well played out.

"Irregardless" always annoys me.

Or when people say "no offense," but then go on to say something offensive. It's a pussy cop out.
