"No Problem" used instead of "you're welcome" really annoys me.

here is one that really gets me

when someone makes a mistake instead of saying "I'm sorry" or something to that effect they say " my bad "


If someone here already mentioned this annoyance I'm Sorry

I think it is kind of stupid to call all little children "guys", especially when they are little girls.
Also, down here where I live, if you ask someone in a store if they carry a particular item and they do not, they will answer, "We sure don't!".

huh?

Since Carolinabredchicagoan asked me to clarify,yes suffixes and prefixes are included.

A phrase is also acceptable.

Example of a new stupid phrase-"Man up."
like... like... like

you know what I mean

That's obviously not likely to be seen on forums, but it's truly annoying in real life.
