I hate the word "Clone" when applied to music. When someone says "Starcastle is a clone of Yes", or "Triumvirat is a clone of ELP", all that tells me, is that the person A) Doesn't really know much at all about either group in question, and B) is just being lazy and generalising

The unending use of 'grab': as in 'can I grab the bill', 'grab a drink', 'grab my coat'. How degrading a word, using physical force constantly, pfff! Then we have the 'like' spasm . I know many who talk this way" Like, I saw her, like, she is pretty, like, a real hottie, like, really, like, lets go mountain climbling, like" . WTF is this ? This is not english, its Facebook-ese where you have like stuff and click on it !

Oh yeah, the 'like' phenomenon is a pet hate of mine. Listening to 'young people' speak like that is toe curling. To say it's 'like' is to make a comparison to something similar. "It's like really hot" No. It actually IS hot. F**kwit!

Do you have a spare cigarette at all? Yes, fortunately for you I buy them in packs of 21 just for that contingency
Do you have the time? I know the time but yes I have the time to listen to your inarticulate drivel
he/she/they/it have 'attitude' - is this a good one or one that sucks hugely and makes them detestable to all reasonable people?
I'm sorry but....(is always a complete retraction of any apology for what follows)
that's so gay - somehow never gets thrown into the rampant homophobia dumpster?
hit the ground running - when used in peacetime by admin assistants, is plain vanilla offensive
think outside the box - is really only applicable to a coffin, grow up
I think you'll find... - possibly the most patronising preface to any sentence since the dawn of narcissism
I was just passing - but you stopped alas
you have issues - yes, i find you to be an invariably irritating and dumb c.u.n.t. and that's clearly my inference which requires counseling
the children are our future - cancer ridden septuagenarian industrialists in smoke filled rooms are always our future

With all due respect - generally meaning, I have no respect for your opinion and you are utterly wrong. Run it up the flagpole - and straight up your ass. K - I am too f*cking lazy to even spit out one more letter and say OK.

dope meaning good
wack meaning bad
thanks in advance - more than a bit presumptuous and redolent of emotional beigemail
same difference - so are the two things the same or not?
we agree to differ - tantamount to believing that more hugging will eliminate all disease
go the extra yard - origins are obscure but invariably spoken by those who have never set foot on a sports field in their lives
believe you me - pidgin English spoken by dyslexics
I could care less (you really mean: I couldn't care less)

No-one has mentioned this one - now, I think everyone from Peter Hammill to Rob Thomas has used the word 'baby' in song lyrics. I HATE this use - so they are singing to/about a new-born offspring ??
So your missus is 44 years old, you say " how's about it, baby ? " - how degrading.........
.......'babe' is almost as bad.

Agreed, but how else are these literary giants gonna crowbar 'maybe' into the song otherwise?

My English teacher banned us from using "nice" as it was so meaningless. |
Your English Teacher is very wise Chopper, even I when I use that word I add very nice :) i.e. very nice person or very nice to me, this changes the perspective. On the other-hand when one says it's nice or a nice song, that means ok not special and certainly not good either  hugs

............stands for 'weed', in my (old) world. Never heard it being used to describe something good...... Yes, 'I could care less' is just not quiet ( ) right. It's always 'couldn't' as far as I'm concerned........
