For all intensive purposes you need extra-strength Mr. Clean.
I never realized how easily annoyed I am, lol!!
“24/7” is another one of those phrases that just irks me no end whenever I hear it, unless it’s an American football score... (don’t want to rile up the “futbol” fans outside the US!!)...

"Relic" which means"looks like poopie" or owned by somebody who doesn't take care of their instrument.
??poopie---I guess the actual word i used isn't allowed.
Probably Sarcastic Same with Incredible - It's the opposite of Credible, I thinkAre you being ironic?
Can I add, "its not as good as a valve amp". Its not trying to be!
My favorite retort after anyone makes a similar comment about my GK MB200 is, "It's better because it only weighs 2 lbs. and fits in the pocket of my gig bag."
The term: pre-owned.
It’s USED!!! C’mon! For Pete’s sake! You can say it. Used!! Some marketing person’s cute way of re-branding it. It’s so much nicer. Argh!

I’ve just never liked the idea that the rhythm section sat at the back of the stage and were supposed to hold down the fort while the leads players and singers get to jump around like fools. In the end it’s all about the groupies and our place in the queue.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".
“You can’t go wrong with (insert brand or model name)”.
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.
I cannot stand when people say:
" PRO TIP: "
Infer when they mean imply. Hone in instead of Home in. "I could care less." UH...I think you mean you couldn't. Take it for granite. Oh, it's tough out there.
From now on I will refer to things I throw away as Post-Owned.
If you watch any YouTube videos and have even the slightest criticism of someone’s playing you can be sure someone will
pipe up with the “well, go ahead and post YOUR video so we can all see how it’s done!!” comment...

On a related topic: a TBer thinking of buying a piece of gear asks what it's worth and inevitably someone (unclear on the concept) tells him "you have to be a supporting member to ask that question". This is incorrect. This rule applies when you're selling. The purpose of the rule is to prevent veiled for sale ads.
