Pro-Tip: Disappointing your bank will have a lasting impact on your credit rating, irregardless of your intensive purposes to pay them back. They could care less about your problems with your Baby-Daddy or your Boo.

But, like, that's, like, totally a mute point like, 'cos I had the craziest dream last night about, like, how the exception, like, proves the rule an I'm all like YOLO per se.

Damn. I missed the opportunity to use You're instead of your.

ironically, irk is one of the words that annoys me XD

I suppose stuff like swag also annoys me too along with yolo :/

I'm an old guy, so can anyone explain to me what Yolo means? I have seen it referenced as some sort of greeting, but with potentially alternate undertones?

I hate it when a corporate wage slave says "empowered" because that is code for making you do all the work yourself. Of course, I only know this because that is exactly what I say and do to my fellow corporate wage slaves.

YOLO has been explained once in this thread already.

It means, "You Only Live Once" it is to suggest that one take advantage of the partying that one can do around the ages of 18 to 26.

It is also girl code for back door shenanigans

Burglarize - it is 'burgled'
Directionality - it is 'direction'
Incentivized - as opposed to 'give an incentive'

Yeah, I see now Kronk covered it.

Maybe in their world YOLO, but James Bond taught me YOLT!

Another one that really gets on my nerves:

When people refer to women as 'shorty'

e.g. songs with lyrics like 'shorty got a fine ass' or 'shorty I love you' or other such crap.

Particularly prevalent in rap/r&b/cheap imitations thereof, really grinds my gears

Uh. I hate when people emphasize the 'z' in Nazi, like... "Nah-zee". Just annoys me, especially on television. I'll think of something else.

Probably has something to do with the fact that there is no "T" in Nazi and that Na-Zi should be pronounced Na-Zee as the i after the z makes an e sound.

Call me "Sarge" in uniform will piss me off. I rpetty much ignore you if your a civie.

I was avoiding using our military issues... I mean, I hate things like sarge (even though I'm not), "smaj" or some variation to that, etc. Other things, like "Top" or "L.T." it really depends on who's mouth is saying either one of those. I also hate hooah about as much as other people hate "ai-ee-ya"

I still mostly call my old boss Top even though he has been retired for about 6 years. To most it's a term of endearment and respect. Then again I never let my joes call him that so I guess I see what you mean. I punched a kaydet in the genitals for saying hua to me once. I kindly explained to him that my head is not up my ass and that if he ever said that awful word to me again I would perform a PLF on his prostrate body...it was my time of the month.

Maybe you be jealous of my swag.

#YOLO

The first time I heard the word swag it stood for "Stolen with a gun" I thought it was degrading to the people who used it, and now it has culturally expanded and the meaning is lost.

The fact this is actually IN dictionaries now, even as an incorrect usage infuriates me. Its. Not. A. Word. If you use it I discard anything else you say or have ever said as usefull and purge you from my cognitor.

The phrase grinds my gears actually irks me... Grinding of gears is a serious offense, and any man caught doing so to his vehicle should have his man-rights taken away and be forced into man-rehabilitation where we make him play women's soccer to realize the folly of his mistakes, by showing him his new life should he ever again make such a mans-gression against man-law.

Man...

Man...

...you're talking about driving right?

Yes, which is why the phrase grinds my gears irks me, because I learned how to drive stick before automatic...

Edited my last post for clarify.

meh its not that much of an offense then.
Me Da has been driving a truck professionally for 30 years and still occasionally grinds a gear.
The phrase is somewhat annoying though when driving is not involved.

Hence why i used it in my last post. I was interested to see if anyone would comment on it.

This is kind related to words.
But i'm not great at spelling, there and its variations are a perfect example (your and others like that too) I know the difference, I just forget to use them. And i'm rubbish at checking what i've written.

But people who feel the need to either smugly correct you or insult you when you get it wrong... I'm perfectly happy for people to correct my spelling and grammar, because its rubbish. But why do people have to be douchey about it?

Words That Irk Me.
Geek and Nerd as terms of endearment and insults.
Why do we need to divide people into groups?

So women will know who to breed with and who to ask for help when their computer needs fixing.

Because then it is easier to alienate, ridicule, and treat them as not-human?

Well, at least that is why I divide people into groups.

Chillax. Ugh. Horrible.

Those dreaded 4 words..."That's not very nice". THAT IS WHY I FETHING SAID IT YOU DEGENERATE HALFWIT! NOW SHUT UP BEFORE I CUT YOUR HEAD OFF AND VIOLATE THE HOLE!

...I need a stiff drink.

"I'm not even joking". An abominable excuse for a phrase.

I hate that word as a term of endearment.

I got mad just reading the word "boo"

Sup boo?

Honey Boo Boo has ruined the word Boo forever.

WAAAAAAAAGH!!!!

First word that came to mind - "Y'all". That "word" makes me grind my teeth. Or saying "warsh" instead of "wash", "ruf" instead of "roof", and "crick" instead of "creek". Also, "Missoura" instead of "Missouri" and using the "s" at the end of "Illinois"...despite the fact it's a silent "s".

Actually, let me just go out on a limb here and say I can't stand Southern American english or the accent that goes with it.
