So what phrase gets you annoyed whenever you hear it.

Mine would probably be" bros over hos", it's not that I hate the phrase as much as I detest the goofballs that usually say it. Also another phrase I usually hate to hear is "I told you she was a guy" :Q

Pretty much all of them. I was in the school library and found a book on english cliches (there are 1500 of them). Just about every single one is irritating to hear.

Also, I hate hearing any office lingo outside of a Dilbert cartoon.

"Invest your time, don't spend it."
"Work smarter not harder."
"Use your resources, delegate"
I love management who've only learned corporate speak in all their years of working.

I can't think of a single thing that I hate to hear. I'm very easy-going I guess.

Double exclamations with nonsensical modifiers: "Wow....just wow!"

Question-responses ("So you're saying"/"So if") to statements that create a false dilemma (i.e. putting words in someone's mouth):

Guy 1: "Irresponsible use of alcohol can lead to the death of others."
Guy 2: "So you're saying if I have beer on Friday night I will run over and kill a dozen Jews and a clown?"

Guy 1: :roll:
Guy 3: "Why kill the clown?!" :frown:

Questions that begin with participles/infinitives and eliminate the nouns and pronouns: "Looking to buy a fleshlight...what to do?"

The exception/rule phrase being used to validate a contradiction:

Guy 1: "Bill never eats lunch in flux capacitor."
Guy 2: "Well yesterday Bill ate lunch in a flux capacitor."

Guy 1: "I guess that's the exception that proves the rule."
Guy 2: :confused:

"Patience is a virtue"

The only patience I have is the patience it will take to scrub the blood out of the carpet after you say that.

Get'r done.

Also, "I'm not racist...but..."

Say whatever you want about any race, I really don't care. But don't prefix it with a get out of jail free card.
