When people say___________, it really pisses me off

[bafrali]

Hearing "Chill man it is just a " in arguments.

 

[Blunderboy]

PIN Number.

Among so many others, but that one really winds me up.

Thank God that people in Sweden say PIN-code, I say.

People apparently get too het up about casual speech for the actual inconvenience it causes.

OT: I can't stand the word "******". I cringe when I hear it, if you say it near me I will call you the fuck out. If you say it to me I will spout off on various tangents and nobody wants that.

I'll not be the first to bring up tasty English meatballs.

(tasty is a misnomer, have never eaten faggots, so don't know)

I said in another thread I really don't dislike anything.

I was wrong.

I hate faggots. They are disgusting.

 

[wooty]

When people refer to shit celebrities or people they know as "Legends".............

No, King Arthur is a legend, Napoleon was a legend. Your mate Rob who drank 15 shots of vodka and then fell down the stairs is not a legend, hes a nob head.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I hate it when people talk about things that they obviously know nothing about...

If you haven't seen something, or haven't played something, or haven't experienced something yourself then you don't have an opinion on it! Why can't people just get that through their heads?

Ubuntu is only for people who don't know how to use Linux

A vocal minority in the Linux community seem to believe this, probably because the OS does attract a lot of newbie users. That doesn't mean that programmers/tinkerers don't use it though.

I agree with this so much.

It's a ridiculous thing to say. People who say it are almost as fucking stupid as a friend of mine with whom I had this conversation:

Me: "You gonna bring your mac to FOSDEM"
Him: "Yeah, I may as well"
Me: "Heh, wonder how many people are gonna laugh at you for not having a free or open source OS"
Him: "Hey, I know more about free/open source technology than you, I was using red hat since before you were born!" (Yeah, he's in his late 30s, I'm only 19)
Me: "RED HAT IS NEITHER FREE NOR OPEN SOURCE!"

So yeah, I wish people would stop being so high and mighty when it comes to linux distros. Each is good for some things, and bad for others. Though I plan on installing Arch on my desktop during summer.


Also, "I could care less".

It's "Couldn't". It's even worse when you say that you could care less about the phrase.

 

[Gypsybob]

The word 'pretentious'. I just hate it, I really do. The people who use the word only use it because they have no better way of describing something or someone(like saying a film was pretentious instead of actually trying to convey how they disliked certain aspects of the film). Its almost ironic that people who do this and use the word 'pretentious' are actually being pretentious!

I feel dirty now after using that word so much.

 

[Ziame]

Um, whats with the literally/figuratively folk?

"I literally died" is just a figure of speech.
"I figuratively died" sounda retarded and up-tight really. "I am using a METAPHORE you dumb fuck".

Pork offal. Eurgh. Then again it's probably best that someone use the rest of the pig...

The increase in the use of the word "bogan" rather than aussie as a label for an australian. That word infuriates me so much when its used.

I have literally (used correctly I think?) never heard someone say Bogan, so it hasn't increased too much yet.

On topic, I don't like when someone starts a sentance or post with "I'm not being bad/wrong/offensive" or "I don't mean this to offend anyone in particular" before unleashing a tirade of racism or sexism on a single topic before culminating in an apology in case you were offended about being told all black people being ****ing ****ers or All Bogans are sex offenders or something.

Sentance framing is not a "get out of bigot free" card

I've never heard anyone use the word "bogan" to refer to people who aren't, you know, bogans. Also, I see your a Collingwood fan. I wish I could hug you right now.

OT:
When people say "That movie/game/TV show, etc was shit" and then treat that as the end of the conversation.
Normally I try to stay away from such black and white terms, but other people seem to think their opinion is the word of whatever deity you may happen to believe in.

That's a Carlton logo by the way. After the weekends game though, a hug wouldn't go astray.

Don't know where your from but in the western suburbs in Melbourne, where there is quite a diverse array of different cultures and ethnicities, any white Australian is generally labelled a bogan. This is regardless of whether traditional "bogan" like characteristics exist in their character.

I'm incorrect to say that its use has increased everywhere in general. But on a more domestic local scale where I'm from it has, and this has just been my experience mainly through high school, and part time work. I have a strong Australian accent, but this does not make me a bogan.

Apologies, I'm not exactly in touch with football, but I'll still go with Collingwood on my tips. Purely because my late grandfather supported them, and its one of my ways of remembering him.

A pretty dodgy suburb in SA. We're not very ethnically diverse, we've got aborigines and white Australians. The only people I've heard reffered to as "bogans" are the ones that spend their Centrelink money getting wasted on the weekend then ***** about not having any money.

 

[Denamic]

When people can't distinguish between "your" and "you're".
English is not my primary language, yet we learned that shit in 3rd grade.
Why are there so many native speakers who can't even grasp the most basic shit of their own language?

 

[biganemanja]

it pisses me off when people in wow say hord instead of horde.

Same reason why I go for the blues, thanks to my dear pop.
You should be supporting the crows, they're on fire at the moment, looking at a good chance at the premiership as well.

Be wary in Victoria, the pies are very much hated, and in Melbourne collingwood fans are jokingly referred to as bogans as an insult (And is another reason why I felt the use of the word has increased). I'm all for collingwood jokes and the like, but I won't ever call someone a bogan, I just think its a dirty word and its wrong to embrace it.

I was doing the Eagles every chance I got, 'cause they were undefeated for some time weren't they?

I'm going to Melbourne in August. I'll make sure not to take any Collingwood propaganda.

PIN Number.

Among so many others, but that one really winds me up.

What about PNS Syndrom (PIN Number Syndrome Syndrome )

OT: When people confuse "theory" with "hypothesis", that really bothers me. (Does that count?)
