I abhor the rhetorical question "How are you"?
I usually never answer it, but when I do be prepared. I go on and on about such crap, mainly the ingrown toenail on my left pinkie toe, people learn never to ask me that again......then I ask "aren't you happy now that you asked me that stupid question"?

what i really hate, is when there is a word or phrase that just irritates me every time i hear someone use it.
and after a year of putting up with it, you one day find yourself using it in a situation, and almost choke on it.

"sweet!" was mine

I've also heard attorneys use "Plea Absentia".What is the world is that supposed to mean other than Absent.

I'm going to get majorly drunk.

I'm going to do some major-league drinking.


A hard road to hoe. It's actually a hard row to hoe.Not a clue where road comes in but it makes no sense.

On the cussing reference: Where did "Pardon my French" ever come from?
