I hate that ! Another thing that gets on my nerves is the way she refers to Onions and Tomatoes as "These guys" .. "Lets chop these guys up" "Pop these guys in the refrigerator" Huh ?

Someone might have mentioned this one but, how about when people type "kewl" instead of "cool". If you're over the age of 21 and typing "kewl" you might be in some sort of age denial. lol

Tell you what I can't stand:

"Like" used over and over in a sentence, as in "SO, I was, like, um..." Either this is typical GenX or Valley Girl-speak? AAARGH!

I forgot about that one. Funny post.

My friends, Joe Sixpack, Guys & Gals ~ it’s getting very tiresome to hear these over and over.

Another one I find irritating...are Jewish-sounding slang words....

No offense to anyone Jewish. I just hate these words because they sound too much like nonsense words:
kvetch, schlep, schleppy, schmoe, *******y

The phrase "politically correct" drives me nuts. I speak the way I do out of respect for other people, NOT because any politician dictates it. Also, "how fun" but I've noticed I don't hear that one so much now.
