I have a vendetta against certai phrases that tick the hell out of me. "No offense" is one, or "Not to sound harsh", because it only reinforces the acerbity of the incoming coming. Or the word "Seriously" being tossed around like Caesar salad until the person just sounds flippant, silly and like an airhead.
Is anyone as bothered by such words?

Oh, another think I hate is when people say "Are you ok?" after you have injured yourself and you have screamed a curse word. By me screaming a curse word, shouldn't people already tell that I am not ok?
things like "hur dur" or "herp derp".
Oh yea, derp. I don't like this word at all. And as far as I can tell, at has no meaning either.
Well, not to sound like a know-it-all but the exact definition of the word derp is:
A literary or spoken phrase that combines elements of "WTF" and "cool story bro". Laced with condescension "derp" is a common form of web-based libel that is almost didactic; however not quite as it is generally a sardonic gesticulation rather than moralistic chastisement. The spoken sense of the world itself conveys an intrinsic feeling of disappointment with a subtle hint of disgust and an overtone of rebuke
another definition is:
The word that describes a particularly retarded face: A retarded smile, and the eyes pointing in different directions.

now this is what i hate the most out of everything when people say not to sound like a know it all then say something that is. if you don't want to sound like it don't say it
things like "hur dur" or "herp derp".
When people make those faces while saying it. Makes them look stupid.
Also, obviously YOLO is an annoying phrase.
I hate it when people say YOLO because they don't even mean it. 99.9% of the time they treat their life like trash.
Retarted is another one that drives me crazy. Reason why is that they use to use it as a scientific word for the mentally challenged but people had to change it to something bad.
what i hate is when my friend somehow references Doctor who into every other sentence by going "AND INSIDE OF THE fill-in-the-blank THERE WAS A TARDIS!" now don't get me wrong, i like Doctor Who, but i don't need a tardis inside of every noun i hear.why don't you give them a fez and tell them that every statue in the world is a weeping angel.

We just need some pop hip hop artist to tweet it, i.e. dumb it down.

Carpe Diem - Sieze the day. Make the best out of your life. Do things you'd be proud of
YOLO - You Only Live Once. Do whatever the hell you please because..I mean come on! Why not?

To tweet YOLO? There was one...tweeted it while he and his friends were drunk and going about 150 mph (I believe) down a road. He died a few minutes afterwards...car accident. YOLO

I'll go with Carpe Diem. Thanks for defining it, saved me a trip to Wikipedia.
YOLO is something you say when you're going to do something stupid. (Like trying to jump over a moving car.)

Hehehe.
You can blame Drake for popularizing it. **** celebrities and their Twitter accounts.
I'm hearing "swag" more and more from my students, and I just think it's the stupidest word... from what I've heard, it doesn't even mean anything! I've heard it as a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb, an interjection... I've even been told on multiple occasions that I have this so-called "swag"... but it's completely non-existent! Just one of those words that kids are using to stay "hip" and "fresh" or whatever slang words you kids use these days! xD
Actually, it is a real word... here is the definition...
An ornamental festoon of flowers, fruit, and greenery: "ribbon-tied swags of flowers".
It seems to me they just chose a random word out of the dictionary! The definition of a "swagman" further supports this theory...
an itinerant Australian laborer who carries his personal belongings in a bundle as he travels around in search of work.
Whaaaaaa... and this is... this is what the kids think is... cool?? =/
It seems to me they just chose a random word out of the dictionary!
They took it from swagger...and somehow taking the "-ger" off of it made it "cooler" or something. Instead..they make themselves look foolish
What would be funny is if one day you put the definition of swag on the board so they could all see what they are really saying when they say "swag" (maybe even just the definition and not the word...then have them guess for a bit what the word is before breaking the news)
Isaw this picture at Facebook, where there was a man doing hard work and a picture of Justin Bieber. It asked who's the real man. In comments people were like "Justin, that other guy doesn't have any swag."
...facepalm.
Ah, I was reminded of another.
"Sup." Is this a question? A greeting? How can you even tell? A quick contraction of "what's up" which is ambiguous itself in whether it's asking for how you're doing or what you're doing is completely pointless.
