Well I can't find the thread for "phrases you hate" so I'll put it here, I hate the phrase "get a life", I mean what the hell is it even meant to mean? Anything that lives has life, which is quite evident to any one with half a brain right?

Just to be on topic though, a phrase I like (wouldn't say "love").

I like:

Sooky-Lala

It apparently means a whinger or complainer or something and Ostralian people use it alot but it just sounds really gay and funny, like much of what they say down under. Someone from down there tried to insult me with it but I couldn't stop laughing.

LOL, it is a funny word. Never heard of it before.

I also never heard of someone saying "whingey" until I was in my thirties and somebody described her daughter that way.
