One dumb thing people say is:
What do you weigh? And the other answers in pounds or kilograms.
The correct answer should be newtons since it is measure of force.
The right question is what is your mass?
If you want someone to answer in lbs or kgs.
But if you do this people get confused because they know jack squat about physics. If you did this to me I'd be confused because you are acting like a douchebag. Please stop thinking you are better than other people because you know physics better than they do. P.S. Seriously a lot of people in this thread need to start reading between the lines (but that's impossible, isn't it?). You are not being smart by picking on evident stuff, it's quite the opposite.
Pounds are actually a measure of force, not of mass, so saying you weigh 160lb is correct. But, yeah, if it bothers you to hear people talk of 'weighing' 50kg, just imagine they said they have weigh the same as 50kg. The information conveyed is clear, even if they didn't properly use the technical terms.

"Have your cake and eat it too", as in, "Some people want to have their cake and eat it too".
It's a phrase that means demanding too much, which is funny, because I think if you have some cake it's perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to eat it. What the hell else is cake for?

I think the best part of this entire thread is the fact that people who are annoyed by certain phrases, are often just too stupid to understand (or investigate) their true meaning.
HAHAHAHAHA
These are some of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

1: "U mad"
Probably the most commen responce to an verbal internet fight. Its like people cant come up with something to say, so they fling out U mad as a way to buy time or something >_> Even at times where they use it as a troll bait, its so obvious that it fails to do its purpose.
2: YOLO
Being used so much it lost its meaning.

"Thank you for your patience."
This has to be the dumbest way to say "sorry for making you wait".

When an outsider talks about the things I do(3d modeling) and interested in (video games), raises some random issue and says "the problem is".
Holy shit, you don't know what the problem is and act like a smartass about it. I'm personally under the way of thinking that if you recognize a problem, it affects you, and you don't do anything about it then you're part of the problem. Saying that just picks a bone with me.
If someone says that to me I tend to end the conversation very quickly and move on.
For example, once someone was talking about mmorpgs, and then CLAIMS to have never played mmorpgs, 'but the problem is...' ...........holy shit.

"I could do that in my sleep." No shit, brah; I fly in my sleep. It's called dreaming.

"The devil's greatest trick was convincing the world he doesn't exist".
This phrase particularly annoys me because it shuts down any possibility of intellectual argument as far as the devil's existance is concerned,whatever you say you get the same answer. "But he haz trickd u."

Occupy _________.
Fill in the blank, nothing breaks my heart more than seeing something with Occupy in front of it. Go get a job and stop complaining about people that have more than you.

Two words when used in certain context really make me itch.
Firstly: "The ____ scene." This one is just anoying to hear every 5 seconds when you have someone talking about the 'Starcraft 2 scene'... I prefer calling it the "Community".
Then: the word "Foreigner" when talking about a non Korean Starcraft players. God damn it they are not foreign!!!! Call them 'non-Korean' or by their own nationality. Starcraft 2 doesn't just center in Korea... it's globally spectated and globally played. It even ticks me off even more when a non Korean is calling another non Korean a 'foreigner'. It wouldn't be so bad if he was a Korean calling another Korean 'foreigner', but since he himself is a 'foreigner' too, it pisses me off! Just call them non-Korean like yourself asshole.

"picture" it's A PHOTO OR A DRAWING OR A PAINTING ! My english teacher used it so often it became a sound that pisses me off along with the word "teach" : teach! titsh! tite she! so annoying.
The last one would be "keen on", just hearing it brings so much pain, hope this expression stop being used.

I see this phrase as "I appreciate you not acting like a cock while I make you wait"
