1. Holy [insert relevant thing here] Batman! If I see this in one more blog or on one more message board, I might just do this:
2. "So and so called, he wants his so and so back." Replace so and so with whatever. The guy across from me says this to everyone. He's so dumb. He acts like he just heard the joke yesterday and uses it all the time. Today he told a lady wearing all black that "Johnny Cash called, he wants his color back" and the other day to a guy wearing a sweater, "Bill Cosby called, he wants his sweater back." Shut UP YOU!

I can't stand it when people cushion everything they say.
"blah blah blah...you know? blah blah blah blah...do you see what I mean? blah blah blah....do you understand my point? blah blah blah...you know what I mean?"
It still bothers me when people mix up lay vs. lie verbs.

I wish my boss would stop saying "the trouble is" when referring to a challenge. I also really wish he'd stop saying (and writing) "if in the event". It's EITHER "if" OR "in the event". AAARGH!
Oh, and I really need to stop hearing the word bling. I heard two ladies in their 60's talking about getting all "blinged out" at a jewellry booth at the women's show on the weekend.
When people add the word 'of' after 'off' eg 'I borrowed the bag off of Jane' and 'When I was getting off of the bus' Aaahhh It is off the bus! It's fewer words

I almost said "holy cow!" to a Hindu the other day. Oopsy. I should really try to remove that from my vocabulary. I learned in a corporate training that it's actually an offensive statement to Hindus.
I can't think of any good answers to this poll, except for "hawesome", which Wil Wheaton has started using in his blog lately, and which is driving me up the wall every time I read it. Luckily it hasn't spread to real life.
You know what people should stop saying? "I'm just so stressed..."
I mean, I'm sure they ARE stressed, but so is... I don't know... EVERYONE? Like, hi, welcome to life. You're not unique or special for experiencing stress, and being "stressed" is not an excuse.
Again, not trying to diminish anyone's problems, but I think the phrase itself gets way overused. We're ALL stressed.

That's probably because it's Wil Wheaton's blog! (that it hasn't spread far yet, I mean)

I noticed that, too! And it drives me insane! Almost as bad as when he kept saying "hella" - yeah, that word went out before he even started using it!
