A few words and phrases that irritate me, for your reading pleasure.
"Conversate" - Because it's not a word.
"Irregardless" - Also not a word.
"Orientate"- Apparently used widely in the UK, but I'm holding fast to my original belief that it is not a word.
"Myself"- When people use it incorrectly, such as "If anyone has a question, talk to Jon or myself." Jon or me, people, Jon or ME!
"That's a made up holiday." Yeah, well. They all were at some point.
"I'm a really good drunk driver."- No. YOU'RE NOT.
"Sherpa"- when used in reference to boots or other products with sheepskin in them. Because I'm sorry, but unless you've skinned a Himalayan mountain guide, your jacket IS NOT LINED WITH SHERPA.
HA! I HATE "irregardless."
ReplyDeleteSee also: "This is a picture of Jules and I." NO! Jules and ME! You wouldn't say, "This is a picture of I," would you?
I tell people my boots are lined with sheepskin, when really, it's lined with a sherpa.
ReplyDeleteWhat? He pissed me off. Taught that guy a lesson.
I hate it when people use 'talking' to mean 'dating.' I just get confused.
ReplyDelete"So I'm talking to this guy..."
"What? When?"
JUST AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteDUDE. I was JUST telling Jenny how there's a guy in my class who uses "big words" to sounds smart, but that he said irregardless the other day and I had to restrain myself from stabbing him.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha hilarious!! Irregardless drives me INSANE.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard anyone say "I'm a really good drunk driver" (thankfully). I have heard "I drive really well stoned, it's not like drunk driving", and I want to smack them.
ReplyDelete-->My old boss used to say she had a pacific idear instead of specific idea. It still is annoying.
