In your best ever Valley-girl voice:
"Whatever"
"whatever" happened to your intelligence! be F***** creative.
"Whatever"
"whatever" happened to your intelligence! be F***** creative.
where to begin.
"who'd have thunk it"
anyone who uses this grammatically incorrect phrase should be subjected to remedial english courses.
"myriad of"
no preposition needed.
"immigrate/emigrate"
theres a difference. dirk nowitzki did not immigate from germany.
"i could care less"
oh really? then do so.
"to two too, who's whose (and other general slaughterings )"
making words possessive for no reason with a random apostrophe
:banghead: :banghead:
some more that annoy me:
(a john madden classic when the game gets late in the 4th)
"the clock stops for change of possession after a punt"
you mean the clock in the nfl isnt running during commercials? wow, thanks for enlightening us. you mean the players dont sprint their special teams off the field and their offense onto the field in order to not waste precious seconds?

One I've picked up on since moving down here...
"Fixing" to do something.
What exactly is it that is broke and requires fixing? Someone says "I'm fixing to go to the mall." What, your car? Is is broke down? Drives me nuts....

most people that say theyre "fixin" to do something often have the "i done told you...." saying in their vernacular. i know what you mean. drives me nuts too because even up here, i hear it sometimes

...hey fellas, no poking fun at the southern parlance. :nono: (I say "fixin' to" all the time.... LOL)
Basketball announcers who will say any phrase they can think of instead of what really just happened...
For example:
Three-pointer = tre' ball
"He is a good shooter" = "He can shoot the rock"
There are many others, but I try to block them out...

Taoist- No offense intended. I've just never been to the south or Texas until I moved here in August, and found that to be quite a strange saying.
