Seems peer pressure to be cool has people talking weird these days.
Being in CA, I'm hearing "LIKE" inserted into very sentence. It's very childish. And old and overdone. If you're inserting "like" into everything you say, please stop.

I'm really tired of hearing people say "Thank you so much". Especially women in their cute little apologetic voices. Irritates me to the core.

Just leave the "so" out, please. And just say thank you very much or just plain thank you.

The other one I am hearing now is "actually" being the first word of every sentence.

"Actually, that's not where I put it" or "actually, I did take that over there".

Just state the facts and quit adding words to try to be cool.

Maybe that's what makes me more genuine. I've never fallen into these word fads. And maybe you'll be more interesting and more genuine if you quit talking like everyone else. :yes:

ps, this isn't directed at anyone here. Just my daily observations.

Like,actually everything annoys me so much today.:cool:

Like,actually everything annoys me so much today.:cool:

That's not helping:noway:

absolutely!

Add the annoying inflection that people ad to the end of their senTENCES....like everything is a quesTION...like, with the upward inflecTION , like at the END

It bugs me as well, I cant listen to it. Its why I do not allow my wife to watch the shows about the playboy mansion at my house....because they all tALK LIKE THAT.....

That chick Kendra....im gonna punch her in the boob and run from her boyfriend if I ever seE HER

The words, "you know" have always annoyed me.

I was like, you know, going to the store then, You know, this guy came in with a gun, and you know he like robbed the place!!

Oh.. another good one is the use of, "I ain't no" or "I didn't do nothing"

Big D

I really enjoy the posts that are done in the 'texting' style.

That was like funny! Like tell us some more! Cause it was like Great! Like you know what I mean!:D

Yeah, it's a little overdone, eh? :D

How fast can you say "you know what I'm sayin".

And now I'm hearing white guys say this too.

aaarrrgghhhh:sad:

Mr69 You must of gottin off the wrong side the bed. The Grump l:)

Mr69 You must of gottin off the wrong side the bed. The Grump l:)

yeah, that's it, I'm causing all of the problems
:noway:

truth be told, I'm just generally pissed off about this, that and the other all the time. There's a lot of stupid people in this world. It's a shame that 10% have to take care of the other 90% because they can't think for themselves. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way. Aren't there any good teachers in the schools anymore?????????

white people are the worst, yes i said it. i have to remind my littles constantly, that they are not gangstas.

look if black people want to be taken seriuosly, don't talk like you got a turd in your mouth.

if your a third generation mexican american, why can't i understand you?

if your a white guy, why do you mimic other nationalities?

am i being racist? absolutely not. i'm not an educated man, but people can understand me, and if i'm not getting my point across, i ask for help. nothing pisses me off more than seeing an educated human being, rotating thier head on thier neck saying things like "iate" or "sup" or "wha i did?"

i think it should be mandatory to taze anybody who asks an officer "wha i did?" if you want respect, you have to garner it, and you'll never get it talking like an uneducated person. you may think it's cute, your friends may think it's cute, but it makes you look foolish and uneducated, and that isn't a way to get people to take you seriously....

I mean. That one is killing me. Say what you mean and get on with it.

Sup,Bill? That reminds me,time to go home and eat.:thumbsup:

Regardless of race, ethnicity or gangter status (by the way, hasnt been a real gangster since Gotti croaked but thats another story) - if you want to be taken seriously, if you want to be sure you are understood, if you dont want someone pretending they "know what you're saying" before they try and locate a translator.....then speak the kings english. End game.

Communication is a foundation for success. You simply cannot progress if you are poor at communication UNLESS you are an actor or singer....because then you have people writing your lies for you.

...it makes you look foolish and uneducated, and that isn't a way to get people to take you seriously....

Thats what always confuses me. So its cute around your friends, but when around others, why would you want to look foolish and uneducated???:confused:

I axed one fellow why he can't say "asked" or "ask"
He said U know like that how i learned yaknowwhatimsayin. :D

The "F" word seventeen times in every sentence (or in every post) is what bugs me the most.

All the problems in the world and THIS is what you choose to make a stand on????? J/K :D

This is what frosts me..... All the suburb kids that think their gangsters, I really want to round them all up and drop them off in one of the real "hoods" down in the city.... Watch them fill their baggy pants as soon as they get out of the car..... I work HARD to keep my kids out of the city, I sure as heck don't want them acting like they're in it.....

Here is a phrase that annoys me and the late great George Carlin summed it up best when he said, "The phrase, You Go Girl, should just plain go".

Scott, I agree.
I am a Fireman in East New York Brooklyn and it is a ghetto. I live in the suburbs and the spoiled kids out here in their baggy pants think they are just as tough as their urban counterparts. I have to disagree. I would like to drop them off for a day when I go into the Firehouse. They do not know what having it tough is. They take for granted all of the things they have and nothing is appreciated. I would like to give them a kick in their baggy pants.

Have a nice day :)

guy here at work helps me with my car sometimes....his quote:
"truth be known" > this applies to everything he says (constantly) but I cant say anything because he is willing to crawl under the chevy and get his hands dirty !! very annoying after the third one though !!

Wait for it...wait for it..............well it just IS WHAT IT IS!!!!

Do all these catch phrases annoy me? :yes: JMO, It's the price you pay for living in a diverse community, just roll with it Dog :D because it will never change. :thumbsup:

Sure would be :boring: if we were all the same :D wouldn't it???

this is my problem, i grew up around bikers, construction workers, and drove rig for years, my language is atrocious, it truly embarrasses me, sometimes i can control it, others, it just gets away from me. it's a bad habit, i need to really break.....

I think that it started back when the old flick, "Valley Girl" came out.

And before that "Beatnik's"!!

Remember "Eubonics" a while back??

I have the same problem when I get around Marines. :) My wife noticed that I have no problem dropping the F-bomb when in conversation with them and then turn around and don't say it at all when I'm not around them. It's like I'm talking a different language.

In 1973, I lived in san jose calif. I was 23 and came from New York. If you really liked a car and lived in NY, you said "that car is hot"..in calif. they were saying "that car is righteous" they also said "fur sure",, what about "far out" or heres a good one "that car is bitchin" I think the kids should pull their pants up off the crack of their a$$, stop playin video games, get part-time jobs so they can buy a Cool-hot lookin bitchin far out chevelle, instead of a rice burner

OK I have to contribute to this...... "Hella" is one that gets me, but even worse is the G rated version "Hecka"..... Do you really want to sound like a retard?

And to Bill... I couldn't agree more :thumbsup:

two words: Ubbi dubbi

HEY MR69 ! This is just for you......YouTube - Like, The Real Orange County, you know, like

Like, enjoy it bro !! It's sooo narly dude !! :cool:

What gets my steam up is profanity in public places, restaurants especially. I guess I'm just old-school, but foul language around women and children shows a complete lack of respect for others, and makes me want to stick a dirty sock in the offender's mouth. A few years ago I called a couple of teenage boys down about it in a fast food joint, and it embarassed the hell out of them; they also shut up.

I'm getting tired of the abuse of the word literally. People use it for emphasis regardless of the fact that they are using it altogether incorrectly. For instance, if you were talking about having sneezed really hard you might incorrectly say, "My head, like, literally exploded!"

What you've actually said in this instance is that your head actually exploded, as if a bomb had gone off inside your skull. Literally, means, well, literally. Think of literally = actually. I actually hear more so-called educated people abuse this word than the populace as a whole. Politicians are some of worst abusers.

How about when people start a thread with "SO". Drives me nuts.

Hate to tell you folks, we ALL have regional dialects and speech patterns that others find annoying/amusing.

Lighten up.

I am in complete agreement. I became much more aware of it after having children. I have confronted people on a few occasions about having more respect for others in public.

Regarding dialect and what has become of informal conversational english, I am disgusted. I think they publish a list of the words that make it into the dictionary every year, and if you read it, you'd feel like puking.

All this conversation has made me hungry....let's goathouseteat....might letcha meet my sister..makes the best cathead biscuits you ever put in your mouth:thumbsup:

Fasccinating and all but regional dialect, pronunciation and "vowl shift" have very little to nothing to do with slang, cursing and made up filler words....like, ummmm, know what im saying, yo?

Your talking about things like Boston folks saying "Bah, Cah," for Bar and Car....and in your example the annoying drawn out "block" sounding like "black" in another region. This is dialect and pronunciation of the very same words. It would IF cursing and using annoying filler words in sentences were something only done in NY and Boston but not so. Slang CAN vary from region to region, dialect and speech patterns WILL vary from region to region.

Yet again PBS doesnt apply to the issue at hand. Kind of normal, you are forgiven.....:D;)

I agree, enough said.

Hasn't this been an issue for decades now? Didn't the pledges in "Hollywood Knights" get dropped off in the ghetto?

You guys are just old enough to find it annoying. Surely you never said or did anything like this yourselves...LOL!

I'm not saying I disagree with you- language is akin to a social filter for me. I choose not to spend much time discussing anything with someone who speaks incoherently.

My most-hated term? "Ummmmm"

You can't sound much more pathetic than just saying 'ummmm' because you can't think of a word to use.

But, I don't get pissed about it- I just laugh. It's entertainment for me. I have my own quirks...I call all my male friends "Amigo" out of habit, and I swear a lot around them too, but I laugh at even myself when I realize it.

I can put together a logical sentence, and can also be a polished professional when the need arises. It's all relevant, of course...

With regard to the youth among us who can not, or will not, speak coherently- just laugh and be entertained by the idiocy. Most of them will outgrow it, as most of us did. Those who don't will mow the lawns of those who do. It's how the world turns...

ummmmm is not an answer

l:)

yeah i know what you mean about all this... at work everyone says apparantly at the beginning.. like apparently they are canceling cash for clunkers.. apparently they accepted more money. apparently.. arghHH

We be down wif it bro!;)

Hey dud, This thread is starting to barf me out, gag me with a spoon, Like it's getting narly. Where are those hot bitchin cars, you know. l:)

Starting a sentence or thread with "Here's me ____"

"Here's me trying to ___"

"Here's me wondering___"

Etc

The one word I really like is proly.What happened to just saying "probably".At first I thought it was just the way it was said.Now that I see it in print quite frequently, I realize that the kids are just lazy and that's where all this gibberish comes from.

Literally,younz guys make me so laugh and that.

Had a friend that started every sentence or story with "just sitting there". Ie. " I was just sitting there walking to the store" or " He was just sitting there climbing the tree" etc. Drove me up the wall. I had to laugh when he was telling about something that happened at a movie, I cant rember the story but it started with "We we're just sitting there sitting there". Finished everything with "you know what Im saying" well DUH I speak english, I know what you said!!!. The phrase the really erks me is "Im Just Sayin" I know you said because I heard it, If you had not have said it I wouldn't have heard it. You dont nee to tell me your talking, I have ears!!!

I may be wrong, but it sticks in my memory that the whole "like" thing started on the west coast decades ago. Since you started it, it should be your responsiblity to permanently kill it. ;) :D

LOL I was trying to think of the word my friend uses now. He was a native Canadian went and married a rich girl in California and he was using Hella all the time and brah. I know he wasnt trying to be a punk, but I think being in California brought that out of him. I laughed so hard when I first heard that.
He is also 39 so its not from hanging out with kids either.

Most of these odd speech mannerisms come from a perceived need to speak and be heard, without taking the time to actually think. I have been reading biographies of folks from the 1800's and since they communicated via the written word mostly, they put a lot of effort into well-crafted , precise sentences. No more,, not with phones and computers. And there is one more thing: face-to-face speech contains inflections and other things that are contextual and they cannot come out well in the written word. That's it Dude. The culture really sux like wow. AND, I suspect that a lot of the repeated words, (such as "dude" ) are spoken without even knowing that they are saying them, it is just somehow programmed into the speaking. Think of those that start many sentences with "you know....." Well, like I gotta go and like wash my awesome shoe laces. Later dudes.
Or, (if I were in Ontario, Canada) , I gotta go, eh?

Gotcha! That's poke sallet, Homeboy.

Well you're half right.........made with lard, heavy and big as a cats head...eat one for breakfast with Yellow Label syrup slathered all over it.........it seemed to sit way heavy all day long........mamas and grandmamas years ago cooked everything in lard....probably why the south leads the nation in heart disease:sad:

"Ya Know" has to be the most agrivating one for me, and Nascar drivers have to be the worst. I watched a 2 minute interveiw with Kyle Busch on sunday and he said " Ya know" what I thought to be about 10 times. So I started to count and he said it another 11 times!

the ebonics just kills me, it has to be worse than anything mentioned in this thread.

it comes from laziness, some of the mispronunciations are things that people are taught NOT to do as they are learning to talk.

Examples:

liked = likeded
posts = posts-t-s
birthday = berfday


and some are just out there:

buick = byurrick
orange =ernj
credit = credick
wal-mart = walmawk
$hit = sheeeit

Dude-----this word drives me nuts.

Really bad when there are teen daughters that use this term all the time.
(thank goodness they are all out on their own now)

Refuse to answer to it-----took a long time to get the girls and their significant others to NOT use this word when speaking to or of me----and then had to go thru it 3 times.
My boy has only had to be told once---never hear it again from him or his friends

Ya know---ya know, ya know
Yep, I was guily of this as a teen (pre 17) and my mother said "No I don't.", every time I said it.

Had a similar topic going on a few weeks back----got some real good responses then too.

My daughter as a teenager got hooked on the word 'like". Every time she said it, I would interrupt and ask is it REALLY that way or just kind of LIKE that way. She eventually stopped but it took awhile.

How about " GOOD DAY EAH " !! l:)

I read a lot. Mostly history, military history, political history etc. Quite surprising to most people as I am kind of a biker type. Sadly, reading is becoming a thing of the past for some people, with computers, television etc. As reading is becoming less and less popular, proper grammar, spelling and diction are slowly becoming extinct. Poor grammar and spelling are pet peeves of mine and it drives me nuts. It is a very sad situation that I hope will change. AND being a Canadian, we really do not say EH! after every sentence! At least not where I am from. LOL.

The word "Whatever". This is not an answer to a question.

Irregardless = regarded. The opposite of regardless..
IE; irresponsible = not responsible..



My Daughter has the annoying habit of putting an A at the end of the last word in a sentence when she's mad.
What happened?
I don't knowa...




But my most annoying one started in Washington..




Let me be clear!!!!

Irregardless = regarded. The opposite of regardless..
IE; irresponsible = not responsible..

The approach taken by lexicographers when documenting a word's uses and limitations can be prescriptive or descriptive. The method used with irregardless is overwhelmingly prescriptive. Much of the criticism comes from the illogical double negative pairing of the prefix (ir-) and suffix (-less), and the argument that irregardless is not, or should not be, a word at all because it lacks the antecedents of a "bona fide nonstandard word." A counterexample is provided in ain't, which has an "ancient genealogy," at which scholars would not dare level such criticisms.[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless

I don't normally use wiki to base my arguments but this is how I feel about it.

"Ir-" and "-less" mean basically the same thing making the whole word a double negative.

Add the annoying inflection that people ad to the end of their senTENCES....like everything is a quesTION...like, with the upward inflecTION , like at the END

It bugs me as well, I cant listen to it. Its why I do not allow my wife to watch the shows about the playboy mansion at my house....because they all tALK LIKE THAT.....

That chick Kendra....im gonna punch her in the boob and run from her boyfriend if I ever seE HER


Beaux, that's hilarious. I have a customer who ends all of her sentences with the upwards inflection. Very nice and very sharp lady, but I'm constantly thinking to myself "did that end with a question mark?" in every teleconference. It's worse when she visits in person because we can't hit mute and giggle. :p

"spazz" and "gag me with a spoon" should be back any day now.

Whud up wit ya dawgs...:)

Since spanish is my native language, I´ve never had a better english class in my life than reading your posts, so, thank you very much to all of you!

You're forgetting:
"You have always been such a FINK"
"I think it's time I FLAKE OFF"
"She's such a FOX"
"Girl, you're the GINCHIEST!"
"That girl is KEEN-O"
"The FUZ put the KIBOSH on that party"
"You have something to say? LAY IT ON ME"
"I gave that FROSH a MELVIN before school"
"That guy is such a PANTY WAIST"
etc...

:D

"I'm like" used for "I said" or "I go" also used for "I said" piss me off equally. All of you guy's aforementioned speech anomalies, likewise. piss me off. I guess I'm just a grump at heart. <sigh>

It's a good thing that I know what those words mean so that I use them in context too! Golly gee, I'd sound so stupid if I didn't. Awwww hell...I normally sound stupid as a matter of course anyway. Nuttin unusual there.

Some of these bug me. The one I dislike the most is "My bad." :confused: I don't claim to be a grammar king, but that just irks me.


I know that "eh" is primarily a Canadian thing. If I have said this and it annoyed anyone here I apologize... it is simply second nature. Second nature wise, similar to this I think: Something more predominantly found in my travels through the US is the that response to thank-you is "uh-huh" :confused: :confused: If it wasn't for my belief that the intention was good, that would be quite rude - about the same as saying "whatever" when someone says thank-you. What ever happened to "you're welcome"? I know there was not likley any bad intent, but it just sounds dismissive. :(


When my wife's neice was 12 she would say "like" and "ummm" all the time. So I would ask her something about her school, and then say, "...and tell me without using like or ummm." Man,did she struggle with that. :D

This reminds me of people that say warsh instead of wash. I know it seems to be a southern thing but I never really understood that.

great way to end my day guys, irks me when people start a sentence with so..... as in so im going to bed now, so good night. thanks for the humor, like really.

One of my personal irks, I didn't see but it was probably there.
aks

Seems like another lingo going on is.

Sure is hot out? answer it IS

Emphasis on second word.

And there you have it, curing the English language one word at a time.
If it wasn't for spell check you wouldn't be able to understand this!!!

I was talking face to face with a younger ( 20ish ) person the other day and I cracked a joke. They looked at me, smiled and said LOL. They didn't actually laugh, they said LOL.....:confused:

And then told me the joke was funny!

Whay didn't you just freakin' laugh like a normal person then?

IWhay didn't you just freakin' laugh like a normal person then?

I think you answered your own question Dan ;) I haven't heard that yet, but I expect to... people spend so much time typing and reading the typed word now, they are starting to speak as they type.

You should asked him, "Why is it only LOL and not ROTFL?" :D

"honestly"? So, if you don't specify you are not being honest with me??

Hearing/reading ENGLISH, even with mis-used words, bad pronunciation, bad spelling, and stupid catch-phrases...




...is still better than hearing Spanish from people who've lived in the USA for years.




Although I have to say that I've quit answering posts that are filled with Text Language: "how do u attach the frammis 2 the jammis cos i dont have a brain n i cant see how it goes n e way"

If the person posting the question refuses to spend time to formulate an intelligent question--why would I waste time trying to formulate an intelligent reply?

The use/misuse of foreign words or phrases, especially when the speaker has no clue what they mean. And screwing up those phrases or words: using "walla" for voila and using "per say" for per se. English has over 30,000 words; certainly there must be an English word that will work well.

yep,theres a difference between being cool,and trying to be cool,I refrain from trying,im just usually just cool,and dont use this stuff to prove it,my actions would prove it to anyone-bro,brother,bra-man-dog..what? give it a rest,thank you sir,have a good day-how I roll-
