Word use that drives you up the wall!

"Hella"

An even shorter version of "helluva" . . . which of course is just a butchering of "hell of a".

[Texheim]

Phrase: What you know good
my response every time: I know I hate that phrase...

S'up

This is a greeting among air heads that identifies the "S'upper" as a cool guy wannabe, when in fact he's just identified himself as a shallow jackass.

It sounds more like you just identified yourself as such.

I thought that was spelled "sup".

[Abraham]

Tic Tac,

Struck a nerve, eh?

Dave2 ,

Heck, I don't know, maybe it is "sup" - I was going by how it sounds phonetically...

Oh, I left out the noggin jerk as this jargon is slurred out.

For overall authenticity, the "sup" is spewed out as the dome is simultaneously heaved up. Looking and sounding foolish is not an issue with the featherbrained users of jargon...they're immune.

Observing the loopy who do this daffy verbal dance upon greeting each other is hilarious.

It's an abbreviation of a slang term... I'm sure its pronunciation varies wildly.

I used to use it a lot in instant messages (that's from before text messaging you whipper snappers!) back in college, but except for one friend from that era, not much since then.

Dog

Addressing people as "Dog" is lingo for the feeble too...

I witnessed two grown men in Walmart doing the "Sup" and "Dog" routine as if it were a comedy act, except it wasn't. They did the whole ex-convict hug with accompanying, odd bumping, slapping gesticulations too.

Delightful, just delightful!

[Beiruty]

What is up with the following term:

Kiddo. Why "Kid" is not enough?

Oh, I forgot one even bigger... "The unthinkable"... Well obviously somebody thought of it, otherwise we wouldn't be here talking about it.

Quite a few of the words with un, in, im, prefixes break down as per your example.

I'm not entirely following you, but I'm sure those annoy me as well.

OH! Has anyone mentioned flammable/inflammable yet? I don't care what "inflammable" means in latin, because I only speak english where the "in" prefix means "not", so "inflammable" means "NOT flammable" <waves two canes at someone and mutters something about lawns>

Probably derived from the same origin as "inflammation" (an English word, by the way). I don't believe there is such a word as "flammation"

While considered obsolete or archaic flammation is a word. It is defined as the act of setting something aflame.

Here's another one: ..."there" for they're and/or their.

[WildBill]

Your right!

Did anyone post lose and loose?

How about ect?

And "inflammation" means I set something aflame, not, NOT setting something aflame.
