Phrases/Words that bother you. Opinions?

[urban yan]

Personally, I can't stand when people who don't know me call me 'bud',
and I hate people that write a perfectly competent sentence, but can't resist
to substitute because with 'cuz'.

So what phrases/ words bother you guys?

Everyone has some catch phrase that just burns you up. Mine depends on my mood, the company, and the context.

However, the one that consistantly pisses me off and will reduce the ambient temperature in the room by 50deg is...

"That's awful white of you"

How about 'fundamentals'? Politicians seem to toss that word around quite a bit these days.
Does it even mean anything anymore, or do they just say it to convince the public they have a quick fix in hand?

"Fair enough?"--guaranteed I'll hang up/walk away, as you just became an obnoxious smarmy full-of-shite salesperson.

 

[kdailey4315]

I can't stand it when people say "It is what it is" to me you're just a lazy P.O.S. who does not want to try to fix the situation that you got yourself into. So you're just going to throw your hands up and say it. Douche

Also when people do not use the correct your, you're etc.
