"Gets your juices flowing" is just nasty.
"How come...?" It's WHY, moron.
"Guesstimate"-oh for fvck's sake, just say guess or estimate.

Anything with "Homey" or "G" in it, especially if said by people who go to the private school twenty yards from my house and have an allowance greater than the GNP of some small countries.

I could care less when they mean that they couldn't care less.

Also, "may or may not be"... is there some hidden 3rd possibility? Way to say absolutely nothing.

"I'm going to give it 110%" Guess what dipshit, you can't give it 110%. It's impossible. Your 110% is actually your 100%. So please shut the fvck up and say 100%.

Sayings or Cliches really don't bother me. But let's do catchphrases. Every time somebody says "Git R Done" I just want to hit them and not stop till their head is a bloody mass. If I see it on a truck or car, I itch for a lighter and rag........
