Which phrase annoys you the most?

[Bjorn Haga]

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.

We will just fix it in the mix. Uh how about no. Record it right and play it right the first time or as many as needed until you get it right.

...I believe this is an acute example of the pussification of musicians unable to cope with key changes, finding the pocket and staying in it and the proliferation of the always in place headstock clip-on tuner!

I would rather be forced to play having to bend into tune than have my guitar wearing that birth control device. My guitars would set fire to themselves if I went near them with a clip on tuner

...thats the S.A. way...!

Slang is the evolution of language. “Cut through the mix” used to be stated as “I want to be heard clearly in the band.” We do love our cool guy expressions, don’t we?

 

[SemiDriven]

I’ve never been a fan of “rhythm section”. Used in the sense “ I’m God’s gift to the world with my rad guitar skills, I just need a great rhythm section to back me up.” I’ll back you up when you throw away your spandex, you loser....

So...(oops, my bad -- just irritated a bunch of us)

...I can't tell if you're more irritated at the term "rhythm section" or a spandex wearing "rad guitarist".

Just imagine if older generations had social media 50 years ago. There’d be countless posts complaining about how the kids—possibly some of the same people now in this thread—were incapable of going an entire sentence without saying “man.”

And the thread marches on! I remembered another annoyance that may be on it's way out (I hope) as I haven't heard it used lately: When someone uses the phrase shut up in the wrong context, such as " Hey Tom, the company is giving us all raises, followed by Tom saying, " Shut up, nuh uh, shut up"!

 

[massXvelocity]

The "worst offender" that really gets "my" goat is referring to instruments as "she" (this also extends to ships and planes).
Also when someone asks about a certain specific thing and the comments always contain an alternative that is supposedly better. Which is what I just did, as my pet peeves is not on OP's list.

So I'll show myself out but not before saying once again that i don't understand what the carrot thing is about.

Can we insert "axe", as well?!
"Hey dude, she's a sweet axe!"
Obnoxious, no?

 

[DJ Dru]

You were going to say, "It's slicker than my ole lady's buttah!", weren't you?

Sure thing

Or “like” or “y’know” et al.

Today I played my Stingy for a while, then my fan-fret Dingy. My Guildy needs new strings. My Warry is in the shop, but my Peddy sounds great.

Just Ibby and Gibby.

 

[StereoPlayer]

Not necessarily annoying, but I’ve reminded myself to not to use the term “gig,” but rather use show or performance for non-musician types.
That, after being asked to what I was referring when talking about gigs.

Agreed. The word gig.

This ride is over.

 

[Gordon Mills]

Country music.

 

[Greycode]

Lots of completely inane garbage falls out everywhere these days.
I have a job keeping up.
My personal hated bass related one at the moment is:
'Hey, Groovehacker'
Just writing it makes me cringe.

"This is the most beautiful SLICE of Rosewood that I have ever seen!"

....get out of the house more often.

"AAAAA Maple CAP"

...new for 2021 AAAAAA figured Maple. Also, it's a TOP and when you've seen a real nice piece of Maple, you've seen them all.

"LOADED"....or "partially loaded"...

I can say and enjoy knowing; "with Hipshot A bridge in Nickel, an EMG PA and a single ply .060 Black matte pickguard."

Details, details, details..."what's the weight?"

 

[Yools]

On steroids
