Don't know if it has been said, but I hate "legit"

Edited for profanity, as it's Christmas Eve.

Everytime I hear this, I think, you mean you have several insignificant others as well?

Kop, in the SW&D sense.

Ending a sentence with the phrase '...is to die for' - pisses me off no end

As does:

The word, paradigm.

Also, like Label King, I hate 'Hubby'

We dual nationals -- well tri-nationals -- sometimes can't help ourselves. It's part of our local -- depending upon our perspective of the day -- colour.

 

[Travesty]

"Yummy" - in any context but food (and even then it's awful). +100 if said by a gent.

I have no problem with the dual and tri nationals. However, I have a problem with born and raised American citizens using those terms to come off as more cultured and intelligent than they actually are.

Bro and other made up bro words. "Well the bible says..." yea...right. What bugs me more is when people use certain words too much. For example I have a friend that uses "awesome" for everything. You say your day is going well she says awesome. You say you ate at [whatever] it's awesome. Ask her about something she did recently and it's awesome. Come on...

Pay attention to your friends next time and see if they have certain words they use too often. Once you realize what they are it's hilarious to predict when they will use them.
