LOL! The first time a kid told me that, I tried to figure out what I had done randomly.

Haven’t seen this one mentioned.
This one drives me completely UP THE WALL!
“My bad”.

A favorite of mine. You mean "now"?
At this moment in time...

I miss "groovy."
...and "bitchin'" really gave my parents pause (well, more than "pause")!

“Carbon neutral” is worse, and even more stupid as a concept.

Nails on a blackboard of bad Democrat cliches?
Come on, now. The winner has to be:
“...FOR THE CHIIILLLLLLDDDRRENNNN”
Ever since BillyBob said it. It’s been 10+ years and I’m sick of that phrase.

LOL!
BTW: "Rode hard and put up wet" hasn't been used nearly enough!

It’s really scary how many illiterate idiots there are out there. The Internet makes it painfully obvious.
Add yours to the previous post about “prolly”, and also the illiterate spelling of “definitely” (it’s ALWAYS 90% of the time “defiNATEly”). Never mind all the idiots writing 1 huge paragraph with no capitals and frequently separated out with ellipses.

Yes!
I am sick to death of this particular beating of English.
It’s “my MISTAKE”, you idiot.
Or God forbid, “my error”!
Bad is an adjective.

Or “At this point in time” (mandatory for every police or local government press conference) instead of “at this time” or even “now.”

Interesting reading but the Taxpayers paid how much for this?
