What idioms of speech annoy you?

[tRidiot]

So lots of folks have some funny ways of talking...


For me, one thing that kind of irritates me is when you ask somebody how long something has been going on, or how long it's been since whatever, and they say, "I dunno, it's been a minute."

I mean, in my line of work, getting at least some kind of indication of the duration of a problem or since something happened or was done is kind of a big deal. I've even had people whom refused to put any kind of timeframe on an event or occurrence, even after being prompted several times, such as, "Are we talking a couple of days, or 3 months, or 5 years?" Sometimes they won't even narrow it down to those very vague timeframes - THOSE people, I want to slap - not really, but I DO want to get up and walk out, because you're just wasting my time and literally telling me you DGAS enough to put any thought into an answer, and most of the time these are people looking to me to help find a solution to the problem at hand.

"I dunno, it's been a minute."

Well, GTFO and get back to me when you get a clue.

I was always taught when speaking of yourself and someone else, you put the other person first. Now, listening to callers on radio shows, podcasts or even customers always talking about me and my wife, me and my friends or me and so-and-so.

No! It’s my wife and I or my friend and I or The homies and I!!!

Also, till in place of until. Till is a cash drawer. Until is up to or at a future point.
Shotty, Remmy and Winny drive me absolutely insane. Sounds very ignorant.

The one that gets me is, "it was in the last place I looked".

Really, you are going to find what you wanted and then keep looking for it?

People who can not finish a sentence without using the word "like" or " ya know".
" We went to the mall, like ya know just to kill time. Like it was just as boring as last time ya know."

I was at Abel racing and talking cars with some guys there and one guy said to me
Andrei said you have a photo I said no I do not have a phone..... no a phodo.

I thought what did he say...NO I do not have a cell phone I never had one..
NO he said OK No Ebonics he said, Andrei said you have a Four Door.

OH yes I do, it's a 57 Chevy.

"I could care less" when meaning "I couldn't care less"

"You never know" has recently in my mind became a false statement.
Are we going to catch a fish today..You never know.
Actually you will know when you finish fishing for the day if you did or did not catch one.
