Phrases That Annoy

"Oh hai"

"I can has..."

I really dislike fml, it's just self-pitying and attention grabbing, and rarely have I ever seen it used in a context where it seems appropriate. 

I'm also not a fan of people who feel like most words are incomplete if not prefaced by an f-bomb. It's even worse than the like epidemic slart mentioned before. "I was at the f***ing bus when she f***ing looked at my f***ing face" blah blah blah 

 

whatever ...  use to really wind me up until I realised it was supposed to - lost all it's power after that.

 

All those business jargon clichés like "helicoptering away", "push the envelope" "high-class problem" and "going forward" have vanished from our company thankfully, giggling and/or snickering whenever anyone used one probably helped. "I know it's a big ask" generally prompted fits of laughter and "have you tried a girdle" retorts. We used the same method for stopping people using buzzwords "paradigm" "proactive" "asap" "offline" "holistic" "transitional" "strategic" "synergy" "downsizing" - malaproping them was always a laugh - paradise for paradigm (or pair a dimes for the plural), prophylactive for proactive, elastic for holistic, putting good people out of work because you couldn't do your effing job properly for downsizing - that kind of thing.

 

 

How can every Yes album be good? Mike Oldfield? ....Whoever it may be......how can every album that a band makes be good? Even an excellent band like POPOL VUH has a couple of stinkers.

How can everything be good?

 

Do you understand the meaning of the word good?

How educational is it to tell someone....".It's All Good"?  That seems like a cop out.

Or is this annoying phrase used for healing process?  For example......Okay the guy sitting with us has his opinion and you have your facts.....But,..it's okay dude, because it's all good.    Is it? How does confusing opinions with facts fall into the catagory of being good? How can any aspect of that be good when the importance of facts are often confused by people and thought to be more like opinions?  Are you trying to say that we both suck? And that intelligent points which are important to defend are a disease which goes against the grain of modern attitudes in today's society?

Can't anyone have a debate without the "It's all good" crowd going into a frenzy? 

"Agree to disagree"     Well dude,....you may agree to disagree but, this is the way I do things in life.

Is it?.....Even if it is morally wrong? Wow,...that doesn't really say much for me or the rest of the world who disagree.

"Chill Out".....Is this what you say to someone who is right? What if the person is not emotionally charged and they are just stating a true fact?  Are you just going to dismiss good advice or the chance of learning something new about life and say to the person....."Chill Out"?

How will you ever learn anything from anyone else on this planet if you say....."It's All Good?   "Agree to disagree"?  and "Chill Out"?
