Another vote for this irritating response. But what I find the most irritating is how often two people meeting each other can't find anything more appropriate to say to each other besides, "What's up?" When did it get to be so wrong to just say, "How are you?" or "Nice to see you."

"Can I get..." instead of "May I have."

I hate "cheesy" it sounds so "lame" when said. The word cheesy is cheesy. The other one "my bad" what is that? That doesn't even say anthing...instead of my bad...they should say im stupid.

I hate that too. When someone calls and wants to do lunch, they say, "I'll be there around noonish". What the hell time does that mean??!! So, when am I supposed to meet you. I'm not waiting a damn hour or even 30 minutes. Forget that crap. Give me an exact time is better for me...Never use to "ish" with me, that's for sure.

"Not so much."

The stupid pointless axiom, "it is what it is." The next person to say that to me is going to get smacked across the nose. And when they start complaining, I'll just say "hey, it is what it is."

Finally, the transformation of the word "literally" to mean its exact opposite. Example: "My mom was so mad last night, she literally had a cow." No, she didn't, unless you expect me to believe that you have a brand new ungulate sibling.

What really gives me pause is the multitudes of people who post online and vent all their RAGE in insulting others and just being as hateful as they can. Im thinking of lower-rung financial forums and political forums.

Holy mackerel. Go get some sex.

Sex isn't all there is to life. People are very stressed these days for a multitude of reasons and venting can help prevent someone from just losing it and walking into a shopping mall with a gun.

So...vent away!
