I clearly have pent up issues ("literally" is just the tip of this)...

Musicality
Filmic
Expectation
Solidify (when "certify" is more appropriate)
So... (at the beginning of EVERY SENTENCE, not the Peter Gabriel album)
Unmerciful (don'cha mean "merciless"?)
Cume (abbreviated from "cumulative")
Indefatigable (only 1% of humanity can say this without sounding sexist)
Factoid
Cartoonish/Cheesy (in negative connotations, this just personally hurts)
Y'naw I'm sayin'?
any acronym that can be said just as fast as the actual phrase ("WTF" has an extra syllable!)

  • "Cultural appropriation"*


    most recently thrown at Wes Anderson


    Must. Not. Get. HANGRY. (there's another one)

    That and "Gender Studies".

    Or worse, "old lady" for a girlfriend/wife.

    Like the edge of a sword. Just go with me on this.

    "Y'know, sweetie, when I was your age, young girls just weren't as pretty as you."
    Well, I had to ditch it anyway. Never got anywhere with it anyhow, other than permanently banned from the local playland at Mickey D's.

    Referring to something and adding the word "goodness" at the end of it.

    "I've been binge watching the Star Wars films this weekend; that's sixteen hours of Space Opera goodness."

    Misquotes that irk me.

    "Boy, I say, boy!" - Foggy didn't say it that way. He would add "I say" to emphasize his point.
    "Luke, I am your father." - Nope, it was "No! I am your father."
    "Frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn." - It was "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
    "Play it again, Sam." That was the title of a movie. Bogart said "Play it."

    So, you're all, "Word! Jackfu, your (sic) all, like, old and stuff and we're all too young to like, care about old movie quotes!", is that it?

    Hat tip for the edification on the word "Uptalk"! wink

    Anglo Saxons using "Ueber" in the sense of "the most possible". Most of all the mispronunciation "oober" is annoying.

    D.S.

    Lately I've been hearing coworkers say 'All the further' as in 'This is all the further I've gotten on my magnum opus since last we spoke.'

    I had a college professor who used to say "to the hidden" and "to the behind" a lot.

    I can tolerate 'to the hidden' when referring to something visually obscured by, say, a house or an elephant. But 'to the behind' just isn't okay.

    Ingrid Bergman comes pretty close, but even she didn't say the famous misquote.

    LOL! Everything here sounds so rarefied and artificial. Does anyone in these united states speak like this? In the first example, people usually say "This is as far as I've got on..." As for the latter, well...

    'To the hidden' and 'to the behind' are certainly rarefied. (I just shared them because I thought they were interesting, certainly they aren't widespread.)

    'All the further' I hear in Florida from teenagers who work in live entertainment from all over the country and sometimes the world. Perhaps they're just being teenagers and trying to be edgy, but several of them use it (along with a handful of brain-stopping phrases that I can't remember right now.)

    Maybe it just hasn't made it to your part of the world yet?

    Our persistent denouncing of "...pay grade" has been ineffective. It continues to infect screenwriting inc. GOTHAM.

    A lot of the most famous movie quotes are slight misquotes. Mae West never actually said: Come up & see me sometime, & I don't think James Cagney said: You dirty rat!
