Spinoff from auto's post above from the travel thread. Is there anything that you despise? The first thing that comes to mind is people that use "rage" or "rager." As in "I raged hard last night" or "we are going to have a rager!!"

+1 on Bae. I was just about to post that. I also hate when people start their sentences by saying "i mean." Bonus to classy who actually types out "i mean" before writing out his post.

Edit: and lit. My friend went thru a phase of saying lit every other second and it was obnoxious.

Bae for sure.

Local to me only on here but our preschool teacher always says to her kids in the hallway "walking feet"...and seemingly half the teachers pre k through 3rd grade are constantly saying "walking feet"

Just fucking walk in the hallway

Also, "what a great golf shot"....while watching golf. Stop it.

"Identify" as in "I identify as ________". Be what you want to be, real or made up, but claim ownership. Say "I AM a whatever". "Identify" in this context is a weasel-word.

Sports hate phrase: "He can really score the basketball". No, he can't. He can score points, or can score WITH the basketball.

Hubby/Wifey/Fiance (I wish there was a better word to describe engagement). Every time I hear Fiance, I think of this (also tends to be accurate):

Agree with these.

I do love saying stuff that other people find annoying. Bae, fleek, lit, etc. I find them stupid but funny.

Before my wife and I were married, I called her my finance.

I retired from the Postal Service last year, so I had built up a a plethora of business-speak phrases that I loathed:

- Lean Six Sigma (and green belt, black belt, etc.)
- look at it from the 500 foot level
- growing the business
- human resources
- "this new initiative is not just the flavor-of-the-month" (translation: it's the new flavor of the month)
..... and many, many others.

One phrase that sets my teeth on edge is at a restaurant when the server asks, "And how is your food tasting (or tastin')?" I'm dying to reply, "I'm not sure how, since it doesn't have taste buds,", but I'm sure I'd just get a blank look. I blame that trend mostly on McDonald's "I'm lovin' it" campaign.

nice spin, as you're the only one that actually says this on here...and yes, it's very stupid, and not remotely funny

...other bad business phrases I hate are;
1."none of us are as smart as all of us"
2.referring to your co-workers as "the team". Most of the team would stab you in the back let alone help in most cases.
3."think outside the box"
4."value add"
5."take it off line"

+1. I got in the habit of saying that and then caught myself.

I don't mind the slang words by young people, but find it annoying as hell by people in their upper 20s and above.

Mine are people that get "couldn't care less" wrong. I hear it all the time, even by smart writers and authors.

Oh darn, sorry you find it very stupid. Just a heads up, I plan to keep saying it. Skip my posts.

lol I agree, but not much you can do about fiancé. It does feel weird to say.

Hubby/wifey makes me want to puke.

Tiernan gave me shit about using fiance on here, but like...what else are you supposed to say? "The man I am going to marry and I..."

My roommate back when I lived on the East Coast said this all the time. She was from Connecticut. Also found it annoying as hell.
