Topic: Words/Phrases you hate
Mr. Parcelan

What are some words and/or collections of words that drive you nuts for seemingly no reason?

Mine are...

"Lettuce, tomato" (in that order)
"Dance of death"
"One day at a time"
"We'll make our own destiny"
"Personal Digital Assistant"
"Gams"

More to come as I think of them.

"Meh."
"And you are?" and all variations thereof.
"The customer is always right."
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

They say a smile is a gift which is free to the giver and precious to the recipient. But giving the finger is free too, and I find it more personal and sincere.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

What the fuck.

Iron Maiden are technically classified as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Explain to me why they are not metal, sir Parcelan.

"Miscellenous". However it's spelled.

"girlfriend" as in "you go, girlfriend" or similar. It was a little sass in a sentence early on in that usage, but now it's gone even beyond the point of being an amusing parody of itself.

I also don't like "Generation" in the usage of "Generation X" or "Generation Y" or any of the derivatives like "Generation Y-Bother" and "Generation Next". While sociologists may collectively lump a generation together (Baby Boomers, for instance), it's the worst sort of unthinking hack journalist sociology that tries to make it sound clever.

'Owned' and any variation of. It was kind of neat when I first heard it, back when I first started using the internet, but I can't fucking believe people still use it, and think it's cool.
