KimberlyH Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,562 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 6/15/2006	What are some sayings that just grate on you? A few of mine: You deserve it. ____ is as blank does. I'm stressed.

bee* Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,107 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 5/14/2006	I hate "it's nice". Just bugs me for some reason. Can't think of any more at the moment but I'm sure I'll think of them later.

Namaste, I hate "touch base" as well. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Henry David Thoreau

Ara Ann Ideal Rock Total Posts: 587 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/5/2009	A phrase that seemed to pop up after the Lacy Peterson murder case, "went missing" - Now it seems every news anchor says that when speaking about a missing person. I know it's a really silly thing and it's a terrible topic to begin with, but I have to say it irks me for some reason every time I hear that phrase used.

aprilcait Ideal Rock Total Posts: 785 Last Post: 10/23/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2006	Corporate speak drives me up the wall. The most popular sayings people in my department are spouting out at meetings now are: - "on it like white on rice" - "burning platform" - "it's bigger than a bread basket" (Seriously, how the heck does that make sense? Where are these giant bread baskets that everyone seems to be referring to?) - "from soup to nuts" (means: from beginning to end... why don't they just say "from beginning to end"?) - "a well-oiled machine" - "cut the fat and running lean" - "skill to kill" Incorrect sayings that aren't words or mean the exact opposite of what the person intends to say drive me up the wall too -- "anyways" (instead of "anyway"), "irregardless" (instead of "regardless"), "could care less" (instead of "couldn't care less"), etc. Deep breath Man, am I glad it's Friday!

I mixed that one with another similar one and got a saying I quite like! "It's not rocket surgery." Makes people think twice. The current one at the top of my ARGH! list is "____ is setting them (students) up to fail." People at my school use it ALL the FREAKIN' TIME--so much so that it was mentioned over a dozen times in just ONE meeting. Makes me want to tear my hair out. I also really don't like, "Well I don't know but..." If you don't know, why are you still talking?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UK Wedding: April ?th, 2010 US Reception: May 30th, 2010!

whitby_2773 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,839 Last Post: 8/18/2009 Member Since: 1/5/2009	YESSSSSSS! and here it is.... "off of" As in - "I got off of the ramp" "We need to get that off of the table" "Turn off of the I95" How about we lose the bad grammar and try instead... "I got off the ramp" "We need to get that off the table" "Turn off the I95" Sends me mental. Absolutely mental. whitby (AKA 'cake lady being attacked by a dog')

And I don't know if this is the cow statement that was referred to above, but "why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?" I mean come on. Really? I've said it before in a completely joking manner, but the people who mean it drive me crazy. On so many levels. Again.... REALLY?
