“alot” of people assume there is a word “alot”. Of course there isn’t and a lot of people get that one wrong.

Then again using alot can cause busy bodies and know it alls, quite a lot.

[blastdad51]

” I mean “ , “like” and “ you know” are ones that drive me nuts

[pillut48]

"I've saved or created < insert absurd number > jobs"
"Taxpayers making $250K or less will not pay ONE DIME in extra taxes"
Oh, who am I kidding. Pretty much EVERYTHING out of HolyO's mouth is a LIE.

[Vendome]

What is he 6 years old? /s(my standard response to that)

[Vendome]

“that’s okay by me” especially if it is one of cute Valley Girls saying it.

[clintonh8r]

Starting the response to a question with, “Well....”

[choctaw man]

LOL, my thoughts exactly.

Some people have a standard response to certain questions without ever realizing what they are saying...nutz!!

[cripplecreek]

“Where my pie at”

[Cyber Liberty]

My pet peeve: "I could care less."

That makes no sense. So, you're saying you don't care, but you also say it's possible to care less, so therefore you still care a little. It's self-contradictory.

If you are trying to tell me you don't care at all, then the expression should be, "I couldn't care less."

Some of my best friends aren’t gay.

or

Those who don’t learn from raw steaks in the past are condemned to re-heat them!

[SE Mom]

“Well, Bush did it first”...

(Or did it more, or worse)

[hosepipe]

Those are just Dennis’s opinions..

[hosepipe]

Response to Dennis's screed...
Well, Duuuugh.. (hands on hips, glaringly arrogant look, chewing gum)..

[Vendome]

LOLOLOL

Some of my best friends are dyslexics.

[Wiser now]

Basically I am driven nuts by basically anybody who basically starts a sentence with the word “basically”.

[RobinOfKingston]

Another one to avoid saying is “clearly,” as, “Clearly, this that or the other thing.” Any time you hear “clearly” used this way, you know things are not as clear as your interlocutor is claiming.

[schwingdoc]

- “A study showed....” = they heard somebody quote some stupid statastics bolstering their lame argument

- “will you do me a favor...?” = everything that follows is pure trouble

-”oh my gaawwwd” = ‘nough said

-”your ‘Strawman’ argument”... = 99.999% of people who use this phrase when attempting to discredit a point or argument has no idea whatsoever what that really means.

[freespirited]

Here’s mine:

“To be perfectly honest with you ...”

Does this mean that the the speaker is not being perfectly honest with me whenever he doesn’t preface his remarks with this assurance?

” I mean “ , “like” and “ you know” are ones that drive me nuts

I was having lunch yesterday, and the couple behind me were internet marketing type people. The girl's conversation was "like" / "whatever" every other word.

I wanted to turn around and ask her if she spoke to her client's like that, and was that how she presented herself as a knowledgeable professional.

I refrained.
