"Fuck my life" annoys the shit out of me. Especially because it's often used for the most mundane and hardly ground breaking things that happen in someone's life, such as them swallowing a piece of gum or something stupid like that. Most people's lives really aren't THAT bad, especially when compared to some others, in say, 3rd world countries. Yeah it sucks you got a flat tire, but it's not the end of the fucking world for you.

Also the word "coupon." When people pronounce it as "Qpon" as opposed to "coopon" (the proper way.) That grates on my nerves.

"AH-juh-tive" when they mean Adjective (Ah-JECK-tive)
(Ah-JECK-tive)... that's quite an odd syllable stress, don't think I've heard anyone say it like that before :p I and everyone I know says [aj-ik-tiv], as shown here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/adjective

"I've got no idea what you're on about."
Fuck off, I'm not "on about" anything and should it be my problem that you're so lacking in FUCKING UNDERSTANDING that you can't even know what that is?!

Why does this phrase annoy me so much? Is it the condecending attitude that goes with it or just all of the various insulting things it implies?!

When people say, 'that's so gay' and/or use "gay" as in "dumb", "idiotic", or just out of nowhere.

'Animes aren't cartoons,'

'I don't beleive in [something that obviously exists/is in pure sight],'

When people call people from England British instead of English. I hate that.


What is even more annoying is when you are Welsh and get called English rather than British or Welsh.

That people still say that global warming is a myth despite the fact that there's a freaking scientific consensus that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases have increased global surface temperatures.

Addicting.

I want to slap the person who first introduced this language virus to the world until all the skin and flesh has worn off their face.

We have a word for that concept already: "Addictive".


MrM2402, re: supermarket names ... I believe that particular one comes from shops traditionally having the name of the proprietor over the door, wherein adding the possessive suffix is perfectly valid: for examples just of the larger stores that are named this way thanks to starting from a grocers in some random high street, see Sainsbury's, Morrison's, Harrod's, Marks & Spencer's*, etc. Except along the line, all but the former have lost the apostrophe and the S has become a solid part of the word. It's then pretty much second nature to apply the same form to other names as if there's a Mr Asda or Ms Tesco out there in a lush care home, living high and wide off the profits of their village corner shop done good.

(Though, actually - ASDA is ASsociated DAiries, so ASDA's is a perfectly valid, if convoluted contraction; TESCo is a smashing together of {T.E. S}tockwell and Jack {Co}hen, so if you think of it as a shorter way of saying Stockwell & Cohen's, it still works)

* In this case, the "Marks" bit is singular, as in Howard Marks or whatever. Which means if Spencer were ever to quit, the somewhat dialectical shortening of the name to Marks's** like my Nan does would also be OK.
** The terminal "s" after the apostrophe was, of course, surplus to requirements, but included for clarity of pronunciation.


Also as I'm in the middle of the legal and documentation nightmare that is buying a flat, using some money that's a (very gratefully received) gift from a parent whose main response to Money Laundering legislation-derived questions is a repetitive "oh, I'm sure we don't have to tell them about that / the full details / that everything's changed, no-one will mind", I'm getting pretty sick of that kind of turn of phrase in response to what are actually fairly serious and adult concerns. Grow up, already. No, it won't be OK. Things won't always come out in the wash. This is the real world, with credit checks, criminal records and employers/lenders who will check one or both for decades to come. Don't be such a child/old lady.

(Pro-tip: yes, we do have to tell them, yes they will mind, not least the solicitor who has a duty to check all our finances before asking the mortgage company if they'll approve the loan, and is just as liable to prosecution as the rest of us if a random audit shows any kind of discrepancy between what was claimed and reality)

When weaboo fucktards try adding Japanese phrases into what they say.
This.

It's not so much when someone likes Japanese culture, as when they feel the need for everyone to know. Repeatedly.

"Well, that's just your opinion"

No *****, it's my argument, so unless you refute it it's the universal truth.
What's even worse is when somebidy says "that's just yout opinion," and what you said was actually a certified fact that you could easily find in any encyclopedia.

Or "Haters gonna hate," Hey jackass, how about coming up with a real argument?

They keep calling my female characters bitches, when that description is insulting enough normally, but most of them, doesn't really fit the ***** description either. I have just realised that they can't express themselves better than that. By them, I mean those that are in my RP.

"I could care less."

I won't go into how wrong this is, not when David Mitchell already summed it up so eloquently.

A lot of things to be honest. I'm going to go with an oldie, but a goodie. Irony. Look it up people. Irony doesn't mean that it is funny. Look that person fell over...how ironic. No. No it isn't. I have a friend who is a teacher and they said on Facebook, "I'm going down to Wellington for a few days then flying to Sydney. How ironic." How the hell is that ironic? I do worry about our education system.

That's my rant.

Oh one more thing. I know it isn't literally being said, but people who type /thread really annoy me. I know it's stupid but the sheer arrogance to think that you are the supreme master of a thread annoys me. Especially if you do it to your own post.

/thread.
Reminds me of this vid...


I love me some Ed Byrne.
The big problem here is that I think The Oatmeals concerns trump Ed Byrne.

Anyways, I can't stand when people use literally and don't mean literally. I can rant for paragraphs and paragraphs about what a huge pet peeve this is. Long story short, useing Literally when you do it succeeds at absolutely nothing except potentially confusing the reader. Misusing a word in a way that still gets your point across, I have no majot problem with. I can't stand when the only purpose something could possibly serve is to make communication more stupid.
