JHands Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The misuse and overuse of the word respect by my significant other on a daily basis as a means to get her way drives me bonkers.

... Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The misuse and overuse of the word respect by my significant other on a daily basis as a means to get her way drives me bonkers. Does that count? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Most women drive me crazy with their shenanigans. Not every single time but be patient, give them a few hours (or days for the careful ones) and they'll usually end up annoying me. Single for two years and can't think of a good reason to settle with any of the ones I'm seeing... Back on topic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckucci Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I listen to broken English all day long... The things I hear on a daily basis are ridiculous... The other day, one of our employees made a comment to one of our female staff.. He spilled his water at the break table onto the chair next to him.. The female employee went to sit in the chair and he put his arm across the back of the chair, (to stop her) and said "if you sit there I'm going to make you wet" .... It was so wrong, but so funny at the same time, her face was priceless!!! We had to explain what he meant, because it could have gone really south, really fast! Not really a misuse of a particular word or phrase, but it was too good not to share! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habanos2000 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I work in the meat processing industry where the plant workers are usually well covered up with hairnets, frocks, boots, etc. One day one of the employees came into the front office after changing out of his work attire and was greeted by one of the office guys with, "hey Jim, I didn't recognize you with your clothes on!". Another one; a former coworker had come back to the office for a visit after leaving the company a couple years prior. He was on the heavy side when he worked with us, but after going through a hell of a divorce had lost a significant amount of weight. As he was sitting in my office one of the girls came by, noticed how much weight he had lost, and exclaimed will all sincerity "hey, it's the biggest loser!". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balboa Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 while there were major renovations at my workplace, a customer asked my co-worker where was the closest toilette, and she answered him " it's on the **** floor sir." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I say one all the time myself, and I'm always corrected for it..."irregardless". Can't help it though. Grew up hearing my Dad say it all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coblos Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Misuse of the word 'literally'. For example on one of the morning shows recently the presenter said "Literally raining cats and dogs" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I dislike the misuse of the word "democracy." I will take it no further! While I won't take on most of the words here, I rather dislike protected words, politically correct words. I mean when you say "F" word instead of the "F" word are you really fooling anyone other than the FCC? It is just stupid. As if it suddenly does not offend, and you are well within the rules of being polite why you say, "FU." -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 None "get my hackles up", but a few I've noticed fairly regularly: using apostrophe s to show plural any number of spellings of palate trouble with the word "probably" Bad spellers of the world, untie!

MIKA27 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have meetings quite often, several daily in fact and there are two words some use so often that even the sentences they place them in, make no sense.
