That annoys me too. I only wish the shot was in the derriere so they'd be forced to say "If we could only get this Johnson & Johnson into people's butts."
"Plays like buttah" should have been on the list.
I hate that phrase. What does it even MEAN? Try playing with buttah, err, I mean, butter. It's likely messy, oily, and will probably smell funky after a while.
Has anyone ever even played butter? I mean, it's like those who say something "tastes like *ss". Does it really? How would you know? What the hell have YOU been doing lately, buddy?
Um, ok, too much caffeine this morning. Carry on.

I find Fan-Fret pretty annoying, since mutliscale captures the purpose of them much better. Having fanned frets is just the compensation needed to have multiple scale lengths. I used to call them fan frets, so I understand why, but it's a very surface-level description. If you're buying a bass because the fanned frets look cool, you're wasting money. (Not that I can tell you how you can and can't spend your own money, but still).
I despise the use of the word "hack" if not literally cutting something or technological hacking. Over the past several years it's become the clickbait word, usually implying an easier way to do something. "5 Bass Hacks that will make you the best player of all time!" Those kinds of videos are rarely worth the time. That's time better spent practicing.
And Jim Kerr of Simple Minds needs to stop asking to "let me see your hands" after every song.

Ugh! "really get up my goat", I hate that one!!!!
(Actually, I think I've only heard that as "get my goat")
"Because of the way it sits in the mix"
I have not read all the posts, but here is my divine contribution.
That one too!
Did you mean weakened magnets, leaking caps and blown out speakers?

I also can't stand "dropped" or "dropping" in the context of a new album, CD or whatever the fork they're called these days. So and so's album is "dropping" on Friday. Who started this? Sounds like a body function...
70's (or 80's, 90's etc.)
It's '70s. The apostrophe is to indicate the missing characters "19".

I'm waiting for the mods to close this thread down for excessive complaining.
All of them. Tone wood, nut width, radius, fast neck, "she wears flats", etc etc etc
I don't hate them, I just find them and the topics they represent less interesting than music-related discussions.

It's a reference to an old British comedy in which the incorrect phrase was used (anyone remember "Porridge"?)
I just came to the phase that I can not more stand phrase like ''Cut through the mix'' etc.
So what's Your most annoying phrase?
Feel free to add Your own nightmares.
"Serves the song"
It's honestly just a way for people to say that they don't like someone else's bass playing or approach.
