When someone says " I was just fixin to "acks" you a question......its ASKING/ask.......not AXING/AKSING........
I hate
"He's 73 years young today" It's old not young. You don't get younger.
Also I agree with Penguinfan, anything Stuart Scott says. He makes it almost impossible to watch Sportscenter.

Maybe its where I'm from, but only one ethnic group (that I know of) says it that way!

"Do you like rice?"
"How good are you at math?"
"Where's your camera?"
"Do you eat live bait?"
"Why do you have 27 people living in your house?"
"Why don't you have pet dogs?"
"Did you eat your pet dogs?"
"Do you have small dicks?"
"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"

hell, Im not one of those pricks who thinks they're so smart and everyone should use grammar correctly with everything and such, not everybody knows about it and frankly most people don't care, but I consider myself a halfway intelligent person, and it annoys me to hear many things a few of which are
when I caddied for a bunch of old, rich white guys golfing, and telling me "son did you see my ball" or "hey caddy", Ive got a fawkin name, christ
I agree, when someone says "Ya Know what I mean", No I don't, If I did I wouldn't be asking, NOT axsking/aksing etc as mentioned before
something about people butchering their/they're/there annoys me, like I said, I didnt even finish college b/c I was bored silly and found it useless, but I have a good knowledge of english, it's amazing how many people butcher simple things, get used to it, if you want to be immune from it move to some suburb where everyone is a doctor or lawyer

I have a close second place:
"I am going to give 110%!" :bigun:
**** you! You can only give 100%, and I doubt you do that. We'll be lucky to get 60% out of your ignorant ass!
Does anyone realize how important this thread is to my therapy?

Just remembered the one saying that bugs the sh*t out of me more than any other...
"Money isn't everything"
Everytime I hear a person say that I feel like mugging them and taking all their money off them. :rant2: :chairshot

When commentators say this kind of crap it kills me:
"What a courageous shot", or "he is a brave player for stepping up and taking the big shot"
Bullshite, it's a damn player in a sport. It has nothing to do with courage or bravery, reserve those words for where they really should be used, like in war.

Good call I forgot annoying sports sayings
"We just gotta go out their and play our game"--Well yea, it's your game, you're fawkin playing it
"What a real pro that guy is"---Yea, someone should be lauded b/c they're a pro, all these guys should bust their balls
Money isnt everything pisses me off, as does "give it 110", yea, if you cant give it fawkin 100 how can you give 110, just annoys me, I agree dawgball, Im sure theres 100 others I could think of

NySportsfan....hate to ever single anyone out in a thread, but geez....reading this post from you and then reading your post above.....come on now...i know you know better than that
and if i ever see you say the word *situation*, i'll come an bitch slap you
sorry BahamaMama, guess I contradicted myself by accident:shrug: :shrug:
I was speaking out of "both sides of my mouth" so to speak....On one hand, It annoys me a little when tons of people butcher simple things like their/they're/there, but I'm not a teacher, and it doesn't annoy me to the point that it does some self- proclaimed "elitist" people who would call other people stupid and low class because they can't spell or talk right, I personally don't care that much, but if someone does that it bothers them so much let them move to a rich area. I, personally like diversity in my life and I like meeting different kinds of people and all, this is off topic, just sorry i kind of contradicted myself

NY....again, sorry that i picked on you for that post, but it is probably on of my biggest pet peeves also. I believe that you know the difference between there/their/they're!!!!! which is what i found so funny in comparing your two posts. do you have MSN messenger by any chance? if so, message me at bahamamama1960@hotmail.........
LOL< I got it now, in my 2nd post I said "We just gotta go out their and play our game"
I meant "THERE" I just missed the punchline of your joke that was funny actually, it's a pet peeve of mine yet i can't spell it right, but on madjacks many times people just type quick and don't think, or other times they just don't know? I don't have msn Instant messenger, have AOL Instant messenger though, (knickx2000) and my email address is sportfan84@hotmail.com if you ever wanna drop me a line good game between GB and Philly, and dont have a bet on it, just food and a 6 pack, nice to enjoy without action! take it easy all

yup, exactly right, tough to type exactly what you think, many people who use those things wrong "Their/there/their" and "to/too/two" don't know it, but many do and just type quick and make an error, it really doesn't matter, just thought it was interesting as I notice these things a lot, not like I'm better than anyone else, I surely am not, but I like observing things

Too funny Chopsticks
One thing I find amazing is if you live in one part of country long period time then reside in another part for long time your speech and slangs end up some where in between. Going from Mo. to Ky
the people in Ky thought I talked like a yankee at 1st now when I go back to Mo they think I sound like Southerner.:shrug:

Any use of the word "blessed" other than in church. Examples... "Have a blessed day" or "I was blessed..." As soon as I hear the word "blessed" all sorts of Christian right wing warning lights sound in my brain.
I kinda wanna reply..."Hope you have a day full of evil" or something like that just to keep things on an even keel. Its weird though, if someone says "blessed" I find that I am more aware of my language so as not to say anything (my normal vocabulary) which will offend them.
Also we have a sports talk announcer here in Cincinnati named Andy Furman. The guy is jewish yet he continually refers to "... the good Lord up there..." I'm confused?
Well, I hope you all have a blessed day.

How's about when guys say, "How's about"?
My biggest commentating pet peeve would have to be, "That's a great golf shot." We know what fuking sport we are watching, dip shit.
Also, I know "Ya'll" is a southern contraction, but "All ya'll" shouldn't be acceptable!
I also hat other words that are already plural, and people try to make them more plurulererer!
"Feets": "He tripped over his own two feets!"
There are a ton more, but I gots to get mysef to works!
