I hate that saying

[Jack_Uzi]

I don't really know if this is a Dutch saying or used in more languages but translated it goes: "Everyone for him/her self, and god for us all." ... You'll probably be quite screwed when you are an atheist. But the saying itself makes my eyes water.

Any command set up like an offer. Like, "Would you mind (insert task here)?" when there's really no choice. If you're going to command me to do something then do it, don't pretend you're not forcing me.

My boss said to me today "hey, could you do me a favor, well not really a favor since its your job."

"The Lord works in mysterious ways" is a massive copout. If christians can't explain something then they just fall back on that

This.

Or when someone thanks God for something that was done by a person. For example, the episode of Scrubs where Doctor Cox's sister prays with a family then the medicine finally starts working. Cox asks her to admit that medicine made the man better, she agrees then adds "Thank god for creating medicine." because you know, the hard work of people isn't really theirs, it's gods.

I've had people say that about a few things and it just annoys the hell outta me.

when in red dead redemption you find a girl in the desert and bring her medicine and said it was becouse god did it

lkr?

IT MEANS NOTHING EVERYONE WHO USES IT DESERVES A FUCKING PUNCH TO THE KIDNEYS

*pant*

I have never heard of that.

Please elaborate.

I think he means "I know, right?"
I use it to troll by saying "Eye no, rite?"

nah, its an L. I m fine with ikr? but lkr means NOTHING!

 

[UBERfionn]

Irregardless.
ITS NOT A REAL WORD.

And i'm going to use it Irregardless of what you say!

Why not use regardless here? Sounds much better, and more natural.

Also, the phrase I hate most is "I could care less", and especially when people insist it's correct.

Makes you wanna kill a man, y'know?

But Irregardless sounds funny!
Unlike "I could care less" thats just annoying and don't make sense.
And Irregardless is a real word.

Another word for you to hate "sticktoitivness"!

I totally agree. Why is it so hard for these people to just thank other human beings for help? For example: You could say "Thank God I passed my exam" or you could give yourself a pat on the back for doing well, a bit of self-confidence might help you more than thanking your god

Or how about when people say "You're doing god's work." This pisses me right off. I'm a firefighter/EMT and get told this all the time. I don't care what god you believe in, I'm not doing "their" work. I'm doing my job, which I choose to do and put tons of work into. Your god hasn't helped on bit.
While we are on the subject, "There are no Atheist in fox holes". Bullshit. I know many veterans that are atheists, and I've also been stuck in a burning building that I thought I was going to die in. Not once did the thought of any god enter my mind. I was more concerned with finding my way out, instead of praying. Had I prayed, I would have died for wasting my time. Nothing fails like prayer.

"I'll just roll with it"

God! I hate that one! Especially when a mate of mine used it for a few months even when it made no fucking sense! GAH! He annoys me alot actually.....

 

[Eldarion]

"I've lost my faith in humanity..."

No you haven't, you don't know what you're talking about.

This. This. A thousand times this.
Every time I hear this phrase I'm ready to tear out the offender's eyeballs.
First of all: losing faith in humanity includes yourself, which I doubt you've done. Second: who are you to judge 7 billion people? Third: Humanity has always been like this, it's not like suddenly the entire world went to shit.

Agreed. Its alwase some prick pretending to be jaded and hard.

 

[Blueruler182]

"Cool story, bro." If I give a valid point and you dismiss it out of hand as opposed to actually responding or conceding I get pissed. Really REALLY pissed.

I got in an argument on WoW with the whole Pirates vs Ninja thing, just for fun, with a guy in my guild. I used X-men for my proof and he started saying that "They're not a ninja" for whatever character I mentioned. It's important to know two things at this point, one: I am a geek. Two: There are a lot of ninjas in the x-men. I used psylocke for this example, had a book in front of me saying outright that she was a telepathic, telekinetic, ninja. About an hour went on before I just logged off and punched a wall because I was giving valid points and he was using that god damn phrase, and now I hate the phrase.

You punched a wall because someone used a phrase? Really?
Well some sayings that I dont necessarily like are "I can has" or "lolz" or anything of that nature. My friend uses those all of the time in daily conversation and I really don't see why.

I get really irritated if people ignore an argument of mine. I'm not used to it and it pisses me off.

anus-turbine.

Anus-turbine? That is a genius idea, which I am stealing for future insult purposes.

Not if I borrow it first!...Oh, you just want the phrase...of course. *hides blueprints*

Well, I did just want the phrase. But now I come to think of it, it's a bizarrely useful form of alternative energy.
Shotgun!
By the immortal, timeless, unbreakable rules of shotgunning, the idea is now mine. Sucks to be you!

But you seem to not know that I am spiteful, and a violent alcoholic. I will run this idea into the ground to piss you off.

 

[Danman1]

I'm with Goerge Carlin, i hate the phrase "near miss" because its used to describe things that almost hit...Thats WRONG!! A near miss is a HIT!!! if they nearly missed each other than that means that they hit!

I love that quote of him too. And Business Ethics. Why is it so quiet? We're having a meeting on Business Ethics.

 

[manythings]

It's a scientific phrase. A scientific proof is a document compiling all the information on a given experimental procedure. The hypothesis, the test, the materials needed, the method, the kind of results and how the interpret the data. The proof would be presented to other scientists who would then try and break the experiment any way they can. If they find something that shows the experiment isn't consistent enough of many tests then it is rejected, if they can't it becomes an accepted theorem.

Later on with new information, technology and techniques old information is revisited and a new crop of scientists try to break the experiment again. If these new circumstances showed that the experiment is unsound it would be declared "The exception that proofs the rule" and it would be rejected and the whole idea rethought. In essence the rule is wrong so we need to remake it, not the rule is always right except for that one thing.

Hmmm, I had this explained to me in an equally valid sounding manner that's kind of different.

A sign that says "parking prohibited on Sundays" (the exception) "proves" that parking is allowed on the other six days of the week (the rule).

I don't get that from a language point of view, I see what you mean but those words don't work like that. It's not actually proving anything, it's just a rule that you shouldn't in one out of seven occasions so really the rule is the exception.

"I didn't do nothing!"

Double negative, moron! You technically said "I did do something!"

I like to switch this up with "Windows works in mysterious ways" whenever someone is having computer trouble

Haha that is genius, my friend!

Your perspective makes me cry tears of happiness. The amount of time people spend praying, singing hymns and so on, to whichever god they believe in, is time they could spend contributing to society and the lives of others in a real physical way. If you choose to help someone, it is your choice, not Jesus', and they should thank you and you should feel good, nothing more, nothing spiritual, just man helping fellow man

 

[Estocavio]

'To each his own.' Nope, just accept that your method is wrong, and mine is correct

"Its Just My Opinion, To Each Their Own" - There are many reasons this is incorrect.

Now this is just my opinion, but I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If I disagree with you, I'm not going to change my opinion to suit you unless you fully convince me that yours is correct. This is not possible with anything accept tangible facts, and even those are open to interpretation.

Everything I have said is my opinion on the matter and I don't claim it to be fact. If you disagree then to each his own.

I actually agree with you - What im referring to isnt ones right to hold an opinion, its people who chauvinistically cling on to opinions which are undeniably wrong by claiming that they have a right to it.

Sam: You and Myra. Why the hate?
Director: Look, Myra runs her show her way and I run every other show my way. If she doesn't want me on her set, I could care less.
Sam: You mean, you couldn't care less. If you could care less then you care some, which doesn't really...
Director: No, I was right, I could care less, because I care even less about what you're saying right now.
Max: Ooh, burn!

 

[zehydra]

Are there any sayings that just make you rage? Whenever I speak of revenge on my mortal foes, it infuriates me when someone says "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind!" Yeah, well, that may be so, but If I'm going to be half blind, I'm sure as hell going to take one of their eyes with me. So, what sayings have you raging when heard?

The point of that saying is to try to teach people not to seek revenge, because revenge is NEVER productive, and is usually unnecessary for one's happiness.

 

[TAGM]

"Let's see you do better," "If you don't like it, don't watch it," And "You suck because everyone thinks so."

OK, the last one isn't technicaly a saying, but that kind of thing's thrown around so often it may as well be.
