The Most Irritating Phrases in the English Language

[*charisma*]

Assalamu Alaikum

I think "you know" should have been mentioned.

To that I'll add "Get/Know what I'm sayin??"

To which I usually reply: "Yehhh, I smell watchu steppin in." I love that phrase.

"I understand" gets under my skin at times. It just kills everything.

e.g.
Person A: "Could you please be a little more quiet, it's hard to concentrate..."
Person B: "I understand :sunny:"

Noooooooo, really??? oh:

I also get annoyed when people say "Guess what?" It always begins a series of irritations that goes something like "Guess what?" and you're like "What?" and theyre like "GUESS!" and your like "WHATTTT???" and they're like "OMG JUST GUESS!" and then you don't wanna know anymore so they're like "Ok ok I'll tell you", and you're just waiting while giving em the ok go on face and they start the story with "Ok soooooo...." LIKE OH MY GAWD

That felt good

When people say "basically" too much it irks the hek outta me.

Basically this.... Basically that.... Ummm basically blah blah.

Heh.

One of my lecturers said 'Basically' a lot, and he knew it. Once, mid-lecture, he said "I say 'basically' too much". Then he started saying "essentially" and said "wait, that's just the same as 'basically'".

Weirdly amusing.

Really Mimi? It annoys you, huh ... I understand.


I practically don't use/or hear English in my daily life much at all, that's why I can't understand why some people find some of those phrases annoying. But if anyone is interested in Finnish or Swedish irritating phrases, let me know.

From the list of clichés, I've only use "blogosphere" often. What else do you call it? Blogocone?

Words and phrases that drive me crazy: "Wag one", "man", "dude" and "Whassup"

Thankfully, I don't go to a school filled with suckers, nor do I live in an area like that.
