example: "We can take home that ham and eat on it all week."

It makes my DH tense up every time. We are from the midwest. He is from the northeast.

Like a pack of wolves would eat on a carcass all week?

LOL. Exactly. I grew up with the expression so it never bothered me. But, now, all I can think about is my family throwing the ham (or whatever) on the kitchen floor and gnawing on it like animals between naps.

Don't you mean 10,000 spoons?

By the way, I cannot stand Alannis Morrisette. She's creepy.

This is funny. Yes, the biggest problem with the comment was they got the number of spoons wrong. 10,000 spoons and no knife = ironic; 1 millions spoons and no knife = not ironic

"Well, it works for me" - For me this is a problem only when it is used despite facts and logic being presented in a discussion. I feel that so many people resort to it when confronted with logic or facts that are contradictory to his or her way of thinking.

Person #1: "How do you punish your children when they misbehave in a store?"
Person #2: "Well, I usually shame them by yelling at them in the store and then hit them with a coathanger."
#1: "That's abuse, and several studies have noted that significant physical and emotional abuse can result in psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression and can ultimately lead to shortened lifespans."
#2: "Well, it works for me and my family".

Cut that out. Recognizing that, in the face of solid facts and evidence, your opinion may be misguided and flawed is not horrible; waving the facts away because you are unwilling to consider them is just stupid.

"I went to the store. Which is something I never do. And it was fun."

Also the annoying cutesy use of question marks in blogging:

"And this girl? Totally rocked it."

Yes. I also despise separating every word with a period because IT.SOMEHOW.MAKES.MY.POINT.MORE.IMPORTANT.

"I am blessed"

Annoys the hell out of me when an award recipient at a ceremony or award show starts their speech with, "I want to thank God, because without him none of this would be possible, he is great and I couldn't have done it without him"

I appreciate the faith and trust in God that many people have, as well as their appreciation of his goodness and the power of his presence.

I wish to thank Jesus for giving the OP the talent and insight to start this thread. It has been "so full of WIN".

Oh, add "so full of WIN" to my list of hated phases.

The point of the Alannis is creepy poster was to say that the PP who mentioned 1 million spoons got the GODDAMLYRICS WRONG!

It's not a joke. It's not ironic. It's just a mistake. Geez people.

As for the expression I hate, it's similar to the Thank God people.

"I'd like to thank my Creator."

What a bunch of nonsense...

In reference to "his goodness" he is doing a shitty job being good to the people of this world. Oh yeah, he picks some people who he chooses to bless, right?

"Out of pocket"

I hate this in a business context, but at least it makes some sense there. It makes no sense when a SAHM says it. I.e., "I'm out of pocket for playgroup this week" when someone can't attend.

I completely agree. Especially when they haven't properly trained their dog but they act like it should be overlooked because they did rescue him/her after all. Not sure if this was said earlier but I hate the expression "hot mess" - I cringe when someone says it.
