"Could care less"

I don't know if you understand how the fuck language works. It's "Couldn't care less". If you could care less, you clearly care at least some amount because there is less that you could care.

Learn to english.

"Wait, what?" and especially "Oh wait..." after some sarcastic remark. Such an asshole way of addressing someone else's point.

The phrase "you see" when describing something. It honestly adds nothing to what's being said.

In example, taken from a classmate's paper during high school English class: "The Romans, you see, were complete douchebags.", opposed to "The Romans were complete douchebags." Two words omitted and your point still gets across.

Also, YES I CAN SEE I HAVE MY OWN PAIR OF EYES YOU TWIT.

Here's some:

"I died right then and there" - one my brother says often. Any variation of dying, when not meant literally, is stupid. What's worse is when people tack on "literally" somewhere in the phrase and don't mean it.

"Like"
"Retarded" - to describe things in a derogatory way that is also out of context.
"Plethora" - I catch casters and even my teachers misusing it. No, it does not mean "a lot" or "myriad." It means TOO much. Oh, so there's a plethora of viewers and you would like your stream to have less? Or maybe Starcraft 2 has a plethora of strategies available and you want the game reduced to one strategy per race? People have to stop misusing this word.

I didn't know that about plethora. Learning from context has its disadvantages when people are wrong. Thanks!

My pet peeve (one of many anyway) is "would of, could of, should of".. It's HAVE ffs! Would've = would have! Would of what? Of fucking what? You would of stupid be made? It's so obviously wrong and nonsensical yet almost a majority of people for whom English is the first language can't seem to grasp that nowadays. In fact it's so common a misconception that I'd be stunned if someone didn't call me out over this.


Not to derail, but that is only one definition. Plethora can mean a surfeit or a profusion of, which means an abundance rather than too much. The connotation of Plethora isn't necessarily too many (like the word excess) but more like more than enough to be considered acceptable (an abundance or teeming).

Back on track: I really dislike when I hear people try to use old south phrases in jest, but fail at it. More than you can shake a stick at, good ole' boy, etc. are all misused horribly -_-;;.


Hmm, I wasn't aware of the other definition, since I often associate plethora with a negative connotation. Thanks for letting me/us know.
Plexa: TL gives excellent advice 99% of the time. The problem is no one listens to it.

"have your cake and eat it too"

no i want to fucking sit and stare at my cake and then let someone else eat it. its my fucking cake and im going to eat it

It means that you want to enjoy eating your cake and then still have the cake after it's been eaten.
It's like when someone wants something to always go their way. "It's not okay for other people to enforce their beliefs on me, but I am against abortion so no one can have abortions."



For the longest time I thought the phrase should be "cut your cake and eat it too" referring to when two kids are fighting over the biggest piece, so you let the first kid cut the cake and the second kid choose which piece he wants.


When I was young, my brother got around that issue by licking whatever piece(s) he wanted.

Funny ones: How would you like your eggs sir? "I'd like them well-done." He must of been high/drunk.

"What do I got to do to get your job?" It's my job bitch! Job security = I'm not telling you.



How about anytime someone uses "of" when it should be "have" ? For example, "He must of been high/drunk", when it's "He must HAVE been high/drunk".

It makes no sense. I have no idea why people started using it, but I guess #yolo got picked up >_>

"Whilst"

In proper context, using vocabulary that warrants it, it's perfectly acceptable. The majority of times that I've seen it, however, is as a substitute for "while" in common, everyday language. I don't know if people thinks it makes a sentence sound smarter, or they think it supposed to be used everywhere, but the end result is language like:

"I read the paper whilst I'm pissing."
"I'll make a salad whilst you're barbecuing."

If you're going to use pretentious language, please do it properly.
Average means I'm better than half of you.
