Oh no, yeah it’s wrong… right?
Slang is the evolution of the English language, is it not? But some of it is an absolute crime against humanity. An adjuror of any cognition of sense, even so much as self awareness.
Take for example an annoying phrase circulating now…
‘I’m just saying.’
I’ve banned this in my house.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!
I don’t know but I’m just saying… I’m just making noise so you don’t hear the squeaker I’m pushing out… I’m just saying.
I’ve nothing else to do but flap the gash under my nose, sooo…
I’m just saying…. know what I mean?
The period at the end of the sentence has also been replaced with ‘Know what I mean?’
She wore a mini-skirt, know what I mean
Uh, yeah I guess she wore a mini skirt?
I stopped at Chevron and there she was in a mini skirt, know what I mean?
I think so…
I’m just saying
Another one that’s almost gone now thankfully is ‘I tell you what’
What?
That car is slicker than snot, I tell you what.
WHAT?! TELL ME WHAT!
I’m just saying, know what I mean?

I personally really like, "... and what not..." when discussing a list of things or events... OH, there is another one that drives me nuts, but it's not coming to mind at the moment... I'll let you know if it does... xo Cj

Southern slang: "You don't say..." Just when I was pretty sure I did say exactly that.

I hear myself saying "the thing is" all the time. What does it mean?
I have banned "basically" for my own use.

Yeah, saying that I'm just saying is the annoying way to say "I have finished this thought and you don't need to elaborate, cuz it was empty chatter and you make me nervous cuz you keep asking where your hammer is and you're not doing any projects so what is that for? I'm just sayin."
Here's one I'm guilty of--when someone tells me something like "It's cold but I like feeling like I'm in a freezer" I say, "Yeah, I know huh." That's like saying "That's nice" instead of "Fuck you."
You know?

just for a hoot, wait until someone is in the middle of a long rant and say "HEY, SHUT UP A MINUTE, lets talk about me for awhile" I love doing that it totally blows their mind

Like, I really can't stand it when people, like, say, like all the time, you know what I'm saying? Like, I. I mean, you get what I'm, like trying to say? I hope so. Like, I think I'm making myself clear, dude.

Only with people I really like to interupt by saying,"That is so interesting, can you please tell me evenmore." It helps if you can look them in the eyes and cross your eyes. Does change the subject tho.

love this stuff, it's like SO true. i cringe at some of the abhorous sayings, you feel me? hah, great reading here guys!
a long time pet peeve is this one, "Wait. Let me think. . ." the room is dead quiet.
my reply is always, "What the fuck is stopping you?"
oh wait, let me think. . .
