"back in the day"

I must hear that at least 10 times a day on tv and at work. What day, theirs, mine, someone else's?

JAVA

"To tell the truth . . ." bugs me. I want to ask if they usually lie? Of course with the Watchtower, we know the answer.

I had a girlfriend who constantly did the "quote" thing with her hands. It annoyed me so bad I just wanted to break her fingers.lol

Wow, Psy Parrot, I haven't seen that much JW swill at one time in a long time. My JW spouse used to tell me "you're not humble enough." I had a shirt made for her that read, "Humble, and Proud of It" For some reason she didn't like it.

Not phrases causing annoyance I have to offer but:

"irregardless" where "regardless" will suffice quite well

the mispronunciation of "mischievous"

using "continual" and "continuous" synonymously [elicits more concern over ambiguity than irritation]

CoCo

Drives me nuts... "cut the mustard" instead of "cut the muster" ... Honest to goodness, you don't cut mustard people!!
