Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

Since I'm so irrationally bothered by the"Best," signature on email.... ...it got me thinking about other things that make me irate for no good reason.

Here are few:


Totes- when I see this on social media I become irate and want to strangle the person. Like straight up strangle them.

Gorg- You can't take the 1.15 seconds it takes to type out the rest? It's 4 FREAKING LETTERS MORE for CHRIST'S SAKE!

#instagood - what does that really mean? And what is the point of it? I mean really.

All the feels- what is this? I mean really what is this? It doesn't even make grammatical sense if you think about it. It's just a disgrace. One person says something moronic and everyone has to follow and use it like sheep.

And on a smiliar note:

Such and such is EVERYTHING.... no, no it's not. That cute story about the puppy in the shelter or that chocolate chip cookie dough pancake you posted is not EVERYTHING. It's one thing. It's not everything. Please stop.


I know there is more I am forgetting. I remember the other day seeing something and getting aggravated, but I can't remember it. It will come to me.

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

When people say "This ____________ is life!" or "DEAD!"

Basically like 90% of slang used today drives me bonkers.

ETA: Totes is ridic. I make fun of a friend for saying it all the time so I got her daughter a onesie that says "Totes Adorbs" on it. Of course she loved it, even if I was gifting it ironically.

This one makes me crazy - I see it all the time at work:

"In regards to...."

You give your regards to Broadway. The correct phrase is "In regard to..."

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

"on fleek"

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

LITERALLY...
EVERYTHIGN IS FKN LITERALLY


"SHE LITERALLY..." STFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

I also can't stand "literally".

I always hear Inigo Montoya in my head: "you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Pretty much anyone who speaks, writes in abbreviated words. I don't mean using abbreviations in writing, but using the abbreviation as an actual word -like OP said - Totes, gorge, and other words like jelly (sp?) for jealous, etc

And "Please and Thank you" - said all at once! No, you ask me for something and say please. I do it/give it to you, you say Thank you. Bugs the crap out of me!

Overuse of the words "Epic" and "Shocking." Also, the hashtag "Blessed."

Everyone says 'based off' now. How did that start?!? It's 'based on'!

Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

"This"

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

Anything that is not proper English.

Made up words or abbreviated words

The overuse of "literally", "like", "um".

Wrong pronunciations : she axed me a question ....

DH says to me "I'll talk on you later"
No, dear, you will talk WITH me or TO me later.
I correct him all the time. Drives me freaking bonkers.

Preggo is a big one that annoys me.

Hubby. Totes. Amaze.

Most abbreviations I guess!

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

Omg I would literally annoy most of you.

LOL, just wrote literally, didn't even mean to

"could care less" should be COULDN'T CARE LESS. They're, their, there.

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

"Shook"
"Cray Cray"

But that's the slang of today. Remember Groovy, Mint, etc.

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

Too many to list

I need to relax lol

Hastags drive me nuts especially when they #goonforeverandeverandeversayingmeaninglessthingsthatarereallydumb UGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

"Best" infuriates me. I had a boss once who used that in every email and she was a gigantic POS.

People who have their credentials in their signature line- of their personal email. Why? One girl I know has not just BA and some professional certification but that she's a masters candidate. Have separate signatures. You look crazy and desperate for a job.

Poor grammar and spelling errors in general.

Oh and blessed. ENOUGH WITH THE BLESSED.

"Irregardless"

Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

Words or phrases that are used so much that that people accept them as a new form of grammar

For example-
Where you at?- No-Where are you
I was conversating.. conversating IS NOT a word.
I out- no you are leaving
Aight- NOT a word-does it take that much longer to say alright?
Fo real/ Fo show- is one extra letter really that tough? And it's sure not show.

Combining words annoys me too- bromance, gignormas , staycation

I forgot my biggest one. Hubby. I literally cringe (yes, I'm using it correctly, I physically cringe) everytime I read or hear it.

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

"taken back." Not a thing. It's taken aback.

"over the moon". Yuck.

"curated" (if you don't mean a museum or exhibit--get over yourself).

Re: Spinoff- what are some of your other pet peeves/words/sayings that drive you nuts?

Hubby hubs the hubster my man. All of these make me bananas. Preggs, preggo, preggers. Just say pregnant. And don't say "we're pregnant." Only one of you is actually pregnant.

Amaze balls. Just don't.
