Id be far less annoyed by some of these phrases if there werent a thread about them every month or so, reminding me of phrases that I very rarely hear spoken in real ife.

A couple I've heard:

Let's run it up the flagpole and see if it flies. Umm...it's not gonna fly if it's stuck to the flagpole! :scowl:

"Going forward." What, as opposed to going backward?

I'll agree with "At the end of the day"

Has anyone seen the first 3 episodes from Season 3 of Archer? "Heart of Archness Pts 1-3"?

The pirates don't seem to understand idioms... like some people in this thread.

Which ones grind your gears? Today at the airport I heard business doods on their cell phones saying "just want to touch base" at least three different times. Sick to death of hearing that. You?

"Grind your gears" is the one that I find the most tired and annoying.













Gotcha!

AGREED!!!!!!! my least favorite sayings

Someone at my school started using "Gucci" instead of cool and it pisses me off so freaking much!

A whole nother. ie. That's a whole nother story. Is that even English?

Technically it's latin. It means id est. Basically, it refers to a more specific definition.

Annoying phrase: "I could care less." It should be, "I couldn't care less."

Also, "Same difference" annoys me to no end.
