tee hee, I have teenage nieces who kinda worship me. They tend to call and tell me about their lives constantly and every other word out of their mouths is either "like" or "um". Drives me insane!

I remembered another one: I love it when slang comes out of the mouths of people you would least expect it to. Like the lawyer and Pres/CEO of my last jobs who used to say in meeting; "Just looking out for my peeps".....still makes me smile.

There's not so much a "Jersey" accent as a regionally influenced one depending on what part of NJ you're in.
I am from South Jersey-speech influence is from Philadelphia, in my opinion THE WORST accent outside of maybe Buffalo.
Those from the North and Central parts of NJ are influenced by New York. A Manhattan accent is not the same as a Brooklyn or Bronx accent; someone from one borough can discern another's locale by accent. Same with the south-the accents, while sounding the same somewhat, have regional nuances that, if you listen, can be easily discernable and with practice, guessed pretty correctly. They're not necessarily by state-regions cross state lines, but a person from, say Charlotte, NC does not sound the same as someone from Birmingham, AL but very similar to someone from Lynchburg, VA. They also don't use the same phrases.
"Might could" I hear from GA., never from NC. ( as in, "Could you stop by Saturday?" "I might could find the time.")

yeah filther i like tits too. tits are totally tits man. i also like it when the local clorox girls say "ohmygahhh!" it just wouldnt sound right coming out of my mouth.

i also like "thats camping." when something is intense.
yeah play on words that cracks my stoner ass up everytime. i also like when people sneak the word "neat" in at appropriate times. its not slang but i still dig it.

i need to avoid norcal because "hella," hella pisses me off! along with:
Skeet
drop it likes its hot
bootylicious
da bomb (thank fucking god thats dead)

My FIL has a phrase that just pisses me off...."Time heals all wounds."

Yeah, I'm sure it does, but he often applies it to situations where the context doesn't make any sense.

I am not sure why this bothers me...or if it even truly does....
I question it though..this term,


'just saying'...

sometimes it's tacked on at the end of someone's opinion,
as if to convey an apology for having one....or in effort to buffer your feelings
from being hurt by said opinion....

I dunno....I also am irked by people who use all these little dots......(me,)

instead of proper punctuation.

Just saying.

Hate - "yada yada yada"

"blah blah blah" falls in a similar hated catagory.

not a bigfan of "fair enough" when over used. As in...

"Hi, how are you?" - "Fine" - "Fair enough"

Of course it's fair enough, I'm FINE !

things that have snuck into my daily vocabulary...

"wee" as in, "let's play a wee tune" (I don't try any accent just use the word)

"no worries" - blatently adopted as well.

"better than a kick in the head with a frozen boot !"

SSJTWIZTA

yeah. i cought myself saying off the chain about 2 years ago and felt like kicking my own ass.

but i didnt.

no worries...

...just sayin'
(heh) :P

My owns kids actually say "LMAO" (pronounced Le Mayo) and I can't stand it.

I also object to my bad in lieu of I'm sorry.

I don't mind "I feel you", it rings true to me somehow.

Oh and phrases that quickly become totally cliche, such as think outside the box.

I hate when people joke about jokes. Like half the replies in this thread trying to mock what we're trying to mock. Example:

I, like totally like when people say, you know, like, "my bad."

See how I did that!! I made a funny AND showed that I like the phrase!!!! PUKE

Mister Coaster

I'm guilty of the overuse of "like" when I speak. I don't do it on purpose, it's completely subconscious, and I really have to force myself to avoid the word. I probably hate it more than listeners because I know how stupid it makes me sound.

And to all you business-speak haters, I'm right there with you. My blood boils when I hear "proactive" used in any way, shape or form. I'll be proactive and shove my pen into your eye if I get the feeling you will be saying that word.

I also hate ANY hip-hop inspired sayings being used by non-hip-hoppers. Or without trying to be racist, "white guys trying to sound black." Sorry fellow whiteys, we aren't cool, just stop it. Specifically adding "izzle" to the tail end of every word.

I tend to like obscure/old movie or TV quotes which describe like or dislike for things.

The one thing that REALLY drives me apeshit ever since I've been living in Pennsylvania is "creek."

EVERYONE I have ever talked to here pronounces it "crick."

zkara

"Fosho"

This girl I used to work with, responds with that to every sentence.
"mm hmm fosho"
"yep! fosho"
"oh fosho!"
And that's in the office, and in meetings with clients.

I want to rip her hair out.

"Hewwo"
It's neither cute nor sexy.
Stop it.

hate: "good times," "take it up a notch"

love: I just heard Barney (NPH) on "How I met your Mother" use: "yes offense," as in the opposite of "no offense"

The use of "like" doesn't bother me in everyday conversation, but it drives me crazy in the context of public speaking. Nothing drives me more insane than someone giving a speech or presentation and saying "like" in every phrase, clause, or sentence. It really disturbed me in one of my teacher training courses to find how many of my fellow students used "like" in speeches/presentations; it's a bad verbal habit they're going to pass on to their future students.

Thats funny, In Ontario, I know like 3 people that say it, their parents don't say it like that just they do.. its really strange.. in PEI (where I am now) people just don't really say their "A"s like Dad is De-ad and Bad is Be-ad .. its weird. but im used to it now

i just heard the greatest word on vh1... Mollywop.

i looked it up on the net, and it's basically...

Mollywop. verb. To strike someone abruptly on the forehead. "She was mouthing off at me, and if she had done that in the street and not the office, i would have mollywopped her ass up and down the block."

i looked up Mollywop on Youtube, and sure enough there's a bunch of video clips of people getting owned upside the head.

i know this isn't the gamer section, but i just named a new female gnome character in WoW Mollywop.... fun times to come.

My little sister says Pellow. Not sure what part of the country that is from but it always kinda irked me too. My aunts also say 'Yins' instead of you all or ya'll, they are from Pittsburgh and I am certain that is the only part of the US it is used.


AAAAA I quoted to soon

Well I definitely liked 'owned' upside the head. That sir is awesome!

i truely hate: wus good. Thats wuts up. The word "like" used a bunch of times in one sentence.

Anything taken from a rap song and using it in your sentences, as if you had been using it for years and that is how you talk for some reason. as if it gives you more of an original feel to you.


or someone telling me something and at the end saying, " You know what I'm saying?" Um, no if you hadn't had said that, I would have no Idea!

Datalyss

Is typing "teh" really any better than typing "the", or what about "pr0n" instead of "porn"? Really. WTF?! Srsly.

The Nightfly

Ok I guess as an English person I might have a slightly different angle on slang.

I like:
Modern London slang because it makes me laugh.
"Oi blud" - Good day to you sir!
"wagwan" - What's going on? (like Whassup?)
"you's a wasteman" - You sir, are a lazy slob.
"easy now" - Hello
"Innit" - Yes, isn't it just!
"Safe!" - That's good news
"allow it" - Ok this one is complex. I used to hate this one but I love it now because it's so quirky and just wrong. If I was to say "Commercial whaling blud? Allow it." that would actually mean I hate the idea of commercial whaling. The word 'allow' is used in a 'let it bypass me' or 'let it rot' sense. It's a hard one to explain effectively.

Of course, I could never say any of the above because I'd sound like a complete twat. But I do anyway.

I also like pretty much anything that comes out of a cockney geezer's mouth.
"You're a bit of a James Blunt, aren't you sunshine?"
"Just gonna go for a tommy tit, wait here"

And there's the old favourite of calling everyone "mate". Even really feminine girls.

Allow:
White English people who refer to me as "dude" or "man". You're not from San Francisco, you're from Worthing you knob. It doesn't sound cool at all.

Pet Parents



No.

You are not fluffies parent. You own an animal that perhaps views you as a pack leader at best, or food dispenser more likely. Its still a dog, cat, whatever, and no it can't come to the party leave the animal at home.

Having had just about every kind of pet there is and children, I'd say the experience has very little in common after they get out of the infant stage. If you think they are very similar you either treat your kids like crap, or spend way to much time and money on your dog.

You both reminded me another: Yummy mummy.

It's such a gross term.

It's milf. Seriously.

Yummy mummy sounds like the infantile alternative to milf, which is a bit creepy.

Actually I quite like saying 'hard' after something to exaggerate the meaning.

For instance:
"Mate you just fell HARD"

or "I want your new shoes HARD"

It makes me chuckle.

I hate when people mistakenly say "it's a mute point" instead of "it's a moot point." It's moot, people. MOOT.

Since the current use of 'moot point' and the original intent are now completely opposite I have a hard time using the term at all.

A moot point was an issue up for debate.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=my+bad

"My bad." for when people do something incorrect accidentally or wrong on purpose.

I guess it equates to "I'm sorry."

Hearing adults say this in a moment when they've made a mistake is painful and kinda makes me wanna busy a Micheal-Douglas-in-Falling-Down monologue.
