sayings you just hate

[Queen Michael]

Is there a saying you hate. is it because it is stupid, out of date or just doesn't make sense. well then start ranting for I will find it amusing hahahahaha.

I hate the saying 'there is no smoke without fire' because people use it just to defend gossip
e.g.
"John funk is actually a satanic unicorn that is trying to take over the world"
"that's a lie"
"there's no smoke without fire"

Your hate is righteous, but you forgot to name one reason: It's not true. Aren't there smoke machines around that can create smoke without putting stuff on fire?

actually smoke machines use the mist from dry ice and a fan.

Well, there you go, then.

I think you misunderstand, mist is not smoke they are very different. smoke is ashes from something burning going up into the sky because they have more energy from the heat so they go higher into the atmosphere so there for it rises to the ceiling. mist on the other hand are frozen particles light enough to make a gas like state and due to the lack of energy they sink to the bottom so they are on the floor. a better thing to disprove the statement is the fact you can get smoke from burning your hand on something like a kettle meaning smoke without fire

Well, there you go then. At least there's some way to disprove it.

I really hate the phrase "I know, right?". I heard one person say it a long time ago, and then it magically was an epidemic and I started hearing it from everyone. It just irritates me for some reason. It's equivalent to the George Carlin joke, "I heard that."

 

[Stalk3rchief]

"Same difference."

Also, maybe this is a southern US thing, but it bugs the hell out of me: "Must be gonna." "Oh, they must be gonna build a McDonald's there." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. STOP SAYING THAT! IT SOUNDS STUPID! WHY DON'T YOU USE SOMETHING NORMAL? Like "it looks like they're going to..." or "they're going to" or "seems like" or "appears as though" or something?

I live in Florida, not too far from Kissimmee and Orlando, and am surrounded by people of very low intelligence that seem almost proud that they don't speak a word of proper English, but I've never heard that phrase before. Perhaps that's a Texan or New Orleans thing?

Guess-timate.
Stop making up words! Please and Thank you.

"I dont give a flying shit" of course you dont!
can you imagine how much people would pay to see that?

"If you pitched this story to Hollywood you'd get laughed out of the room and told thats impossible".

It's an ok saying. But it has two issues

1) it gets overused. Everytime a fat kid does a sit-up it gets said.

2) it's used inappropriately. There are stories that would be rejected as unrealistic. But an athlete who comes up from difficulty and problems to become a success, that's commendable. But it cooed easily be made into a movie. Same with upsets. Pretty much every movie with an underdog team has them win. It's still a surprise in real life. But let's not act like upsets are some foreign aspect that Hollywood has never done before.

"I love ____ it's so addicting"
I hate when people use this in a positive sense because addiction is never a good thing.

addiction
-noun
the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, such as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.

No, that TV show that you like watching is not addictive, because if it truly were, then you wouldn't be able to tear yourself away from it long enough to talk to me about it.

'irregardless'
SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK?
WHO USES THIS WORD?

Professors use it to sound intellectual when, in fact, they are worthless sacks of shit who give hot girls A's and fat people C's.

I have a number of annoying phrases:

"Six, twelve, half-a-dozen, the other" Meaning 'either way'.

Further and farther. GET IT FUCKING RIGHT! FARther like you're talking about distance. FURther like you're talking about doing something better. For example: I'm furthering my education. To get to my new college I needed to drive farther than I did to get to work.

Like ........ Critiques are the worse as no one knows how to articulate "my work is crap so I will attempt to associate words to it that I understand while design vocabulary is out of my reach".

 

[Death God]

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

Don't know why it bugs me, it just does. SO little child thinks he knows what he is saying and out comes this phrase.

 

[Sgt Doom]

"I could care less"
It's couldn't care less, "could" suggests you care about it to some extent, which by context I can deduce is the exact opposite of what you're trying to say, you grammatically-impaired buffoon.

That's like saying that all trains run on Steam power... different smoke machines use different gases and materials to produce a smoke effect.

 

[MiketheBassMan]

Any expression using damn that should be damned: "It's so damn difficult," "I hate that damn computer." You are condemning these things, damning them to hell. They are, effectively, the damned. Without the ED it makes no sense!

at the end of the day it's not smoke due to that smoke is basically gas ash and I don't know of any smoke machine which makes actual smoke not a white gas which forms a layer on the floor.

 

[pwnzerstick]

One that quite pisses me off, because of the somewhat sexist use of the saying is: "A key that opens many locks is a master key. A lock that is opened by many keys is a shitty lock".
I absolutely hate that, because of how it is used by some bastards.

Or it is a lockpick, that you, the master of unlocking, can use.

 

[The_Puppy_Prince]

Most nonsense uttered by people these days.

Answering a question with "Because I said so" or "Because I can" annoys the hell out of me, just give me the exact reason why.

Also, "No offense but, [insert something offensive here]" It makes me laugh when someone thinks that because they put "no offense" before their statement they can say whatever they like and the person won't care.

I hate
"Because i said so"
And?
Like what you say matters?
I feel like im getting orders from a drill Sargent

 

[Chased]

"Fair enough." Used way to often to end things when people are disagreeing, there is nothing fair about it.

 

[theSovietConnection]

"I could care less"

I'll let David Mitchell explain this one.

I'll be completely honest, for all the complaining about this one I see on here, I have never heard people say it. Maybe it's a US thing, though, but still, I have only ever heard people say "I couldn't care less."

Anyways, the only saying that really bothers me isn't exactly a saying. What drives me up the wall is when people either use a saying out of context to justify something, or when people quote someone with absolutely no expertise on the subject because he says something they agree with.

"Why so grim?"
I'M NOT GRIM, THIS IS WHAT MY FACE LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE MUSCLES IN IT ARE RELAXED SO PLEASE, NICE GIRL, STOP ASKING THAT.
Thank you.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

"Same difference"

That's a saying contradicting itself!

 

[Towels]

I hate "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it must be a duck."

Inversely I do like "ASSUME just makes and Ass out of you and me."
