1) Irregardless is a word

http://www.merriam-webster.com/video/0037-irregardless.htm

2) and it's "For all intents and purposes"


Nothing in SC or life really makes me rage except phrases missheard.

Someone at work refered to duct tape as 'duck tape' the other day.


Duck Tape is an actual brand of duct tape, lots of people call it that, even in the construction business.

I never got why specific words or phrases have an added meaning for some people. As long as you know what they mean, who cares. Idk why it would bother you that they chose to word something slightly differently.



personally I cant stand the phrase "Oh my god/OMG" because everytime I see it, it makes me think of a really REALLY stupid person who cant express their thoughts in a proper sentence.

Companies advertising USB 3.0 as 'super speed!". Um, you know that, the data is traveling at the same speed, right?

Oh and internet companies advertising that their internet is faster than their competitors. No it's not faster.

Why can't the tech world use throughput?

Oh and people talking about their internet throughput as bandwidth.

"I could care less". The intended message is the one possibility excluded by the phrase conveying it.
"I Axed him..." when spoken outside the context of violent homicide.
"Get a life" when used as shorthand for "Stop making me uncomfortable by caring about things that aren't fashion, popular music or the lifestyles of celebrities".

Ok, I'm from Northern Ireland. We own all the stupid phrases.

"Your not as green as you are cabbage looking." - You are smarter than you look

"Look at the state of the coupan on yer woman." - Look at that young lady, she's quite ugly.

"Why did you buy a chocolate fire guard, is your head cut?" - What you just bought isn't suitable for the purpose it's intended for, that wasn't a wise purchase.

Fortunately the exquisite, musical accent offsets the problem.

As you can see by looking at the top of your screen the thread isn't called "the DUMBEST phrases You have literally heard" because that doens't make any sense.
Are you expecting people to be confused about how you heard something? Whether it was through telepathy or some act of mind reading? It makes literally no sense to use the word literally in that sentence.

Have you seen Hot Rod? It might change your mind about "cool beans".

Are you fucking serious?! LMAO

And I thought Frank McCourt's books were filled with funny stuff, haha.

The duck tape phrase bugs me so much... I don't care if there is a brand, because it's quite obvious most people think it's actually called DUCK tape, not duct. Which in turn makes me wonder if they know what the word duct means... :s

Another thing is, when people ask for a napkin, not a serviette. For whom that think napkin is correct, just remember, I can be asking for a sanitary napkin (women's pad), where I could never ask for a women's serviette and get the same result. It's kind of revolting hearing someone ask for a 'napkin' while I'm trying to eat.

To stay on topic though, a few phrases that really piss me off

1)He/she is in a better place now.
2)I'm sorry for your loss
3)Working hard or hardly working? (I will murder you someday, grrr)
4)Same difference
5)guesstimate

And the worst for last:
Lord tunderin' jesus by!

Some politicians stating we have to "go green" with everything. Not meaning to help the environment, but meaning to do their lobbying and giving money to random companies because, apparantly, they are "green".
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

If the word napkin is that revolting to you, I recommend that you never eat in the U.S.

"Hump day" for Wednesday (The day in the middle of the working week - so its the hump of the week...)
"Thank God/Fuck its Friday - or TGIF/TFIF"

^ the fact that both of these inspire the mass forward of stupid emails in the work-place by air-heads and/or middle aged women.
"Yeah Nah" - eg: "Do you like Metallicas latest album?" - "Yeaaaah naaahh, I like their older ones"
