I dislike the phrase "can't stand". Why can't you say your dislike something? Saying you "can't stand" something sounds odd to me.

You don't like the word supper, as in the meal? Is it because you'd rather people say dinner?


New poster, and I hate it too - I think using the word supper makes the user sound like a yokel. Hate it!

Also, the "DMV", as in the District, Maryland, Virginia. Seriously, I grew up in this area, and never heard this until a few weeks ago.
