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 appreciate people letting me know they believe in Sky Fairies and Cosmic Muffins so I can steer clear of them and their imaginary friends.



hmph... you sound like an atheist. don't be mad at me 'cause you don't have anyone to thank when it's friday.

"I'm sorry if what I said/did offended you."

This is bullshit, not an apology, so don't expect it to be forgiven or forgotten. You've actually compounded the offense by implying that the offended person is just oversensitive.

I always assume this means the person has a certain signature version of a dish that others know and like.

Knickers is awesome.


"Brilliant" and "dodgy" when said by an American to an American audience. And "whingy" when an American is writing "whiny" to an American audience.

On the subject of knickers -- "unwad your panties." I liked it at first, maybe 2 years ago. But it's become totally overused here on DCUM, just like "you have reading comprehension problems." Find some new words, folks, if you want to sound clever on the interwebs!

Expressions I can't stand: Sky Fairies and Flying Spaghetti Monster. Are you guys still stuck in the 80s? Or are you just intolerant?

Also a while back there was a movement to say "zah" for pizza. Mercifully it never really took off but from time to time I hear it.

PA/OH:

Needs (painted, washed, repaired).

Could've/should've went.

Some very sweet people say these things, but it still puts my teeth on edge.

"It is what it is"
"Price point"
"Colorway"
"Curated" (in the context of a website or home decorating situation--OK for a museum)
