Word use that drives you up the wall!

"Just saying"

Another lame circumlocution in vogue - stop it, you sound trite.

"Just saying", but I also dislike this.

I used to have a boss who would say something and then say, "But that's just me talking."

WildBill,

Yeah, I've heard people say that and wonder: When people utter such it sounds like a lame apology and/or evidence of low self esteem.

Being called "Chief" when that person knows your name.

Those who do this are being condescending and think you aren't aware...

That's good to know. All this time I was assuming they're racist.

It makes me crazy when people call antlers horns. There is a huge difference.

"Straight Up"

This is either prison-speak or ghetto - both are lame attempts at trying to sound street cool, but those employing this term end simply sound slow...

I suppose this is as good a place as any.

Calling people "Dawg" disgusts me.

[LikesShinyThings]

I suppose this is as good a place as any.

Of course, now I'm not going to be able to get it out of my head. But that was too fun!

"interwebz" - Idiotic non-word accompanied with childish spelling.

Adding the letter "Z" doesn't imbue this abomination with any amount of sang-froid, but it does reveal much about the user...

I suppose this is as good a place as any.

Thanks for posting the video. I enjoyed it.

"I want to pick your brain"

This is utterance is not only revolting, but condescending as well...

So there's no way you could possibly know anything useful to them?

You missed my point...
