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. | ||

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 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". | ||

"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. | ||

LOL 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. + Show Spoiler +  | ||

"For all intensive purposes" "Cool Beans" (sorry guys, I think it's awful) Verbally stating "lol" (in a way not resembling Jeremy from Pure Pwnage) And finally "he overdosed on marihuana cigarettes" Have you seen Hot Rod? It might change your mind about "cool beans". | ||

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! | ||

"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" | ||
