Oh boy, here we go.

I cannot stand any "Valley Girl, Redneck, or Noob" dialect.

As in:

"Like, OMG, totally, no way, like seriously!"
"FER SURE!" <---- I HATE THAT. It makes me want to rip the person's skull off. neutral
"1337" Need I say more? stare

People that constantly type "lol" online. If you've got nothing better to say, please don't say "lol." You are not laughing out loud. Say something appropriate for the current moment in time, as in, "I see, Interesting, Oh, etc." And if you have nothing to say, either DON'T SAY ANYTHING, or simply reply, "I don't know what to say to that." It's not that hard, people. stare

And people, please. The term, "overrated," IS overrated. Please don't use it anymore. Who cares if something is "overrated?" If you like it, you like it. It shouldn't bother you that other people don't. Sheesh. rolleyes

"Gay."

Unless we are talking about Richard Simmons or Ryan Seacrest, don't tell me something is "gay." I can't stand hearing it.

Just for reference (because my friends are known to jokingly say these kinds of things from time to time):
lol = "lawl," rhymes with bawl
rofl = "roffle," rhymes with waffle
lmao = "elemayo," pronounce each letter reallysuperfast
stfu = "stufu," rhymes with snafu

I also hate "nomesane." As in "I can't pronounce 'you know what I'm saying.' "

"Supposably." Gah! stressed

Also for reference:
Git R Done not Get 'R Done
Should've not Should of

People who cannot spell very simple Gaian words or understand very simple Gaian concepts:
ITEMS, not IDEM, ITEAM, ITUMS
You have a SALE, where you SELL items, do not confuse the two!
DONATION, not DOANTION, DOANATION, DONASHUN
Gaia uses GOLD, not $$ or DOLLARS or DOLLERS
DONORS and DONATORS, not DONERS and DONATERS

Personally, I can't stand "I could care less"...no, you couldn't. If you cared any less, whatever you didn't care about would have to care about you, because it would be in debt of caring!!

Also, I don't mind cussing if it's used properly...BUT NO ONE USES IT PROPERLY!!!!! I know, that shouldn't be in all caps, but it's the only way to show that I would be shouting if this was spoken, and I'm speaking in my head as I type. So it works. What I mean by "properly" is as meant by the literal definition in a situation where it fits and is correctly conjugated. But I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one, at least in my school, who knows how to do that.

"Gay." If it isn't used to describe a homosexual, or happiness, people shouldn't say it. Period.

I can't stand it when someone says the following phrases:
1.Really? (No..I just thought it would be cool to say that...)

2.I 'betcha' (Betcha is not a word...It's two words..I BET YOU!)

3.Ain't (Also not a word! Try saying isn't!)

4.Ain't ain't a word so I ain't gonna use it (so many problems with that one! It sould be "Ain't ISN'T a word so I'm NOT GOING TO use it.")

5.text phrases like Jk, omg, w/e..just don't SAY them..If you're going to type them, I guess I'll deal with it, but I'll throw a dictionary at whoever says them.

6.Like..& then like... (take the 'like' out of the sentence..you can use it occasionaly, I suppose, but not more than once in a sentence!)

4.Ain't ain't a word so I ain't gonna use it (so many problems with that one! It sould be "Ain't ISN'T a word so I'm NOT GOING TO use it.")


Actually, "ain't" is a word. It can be found in just about any dictionary, and was popularized by Elizabeth I, if I'm not mistaken. That's Shakespearean English, for what it's worth.

I just saw a peice of text-talk that is totally new to me. Ossm (Awsome). I would not go so far as to say it's one of my most hated but I could easily see it getting very annoying.

"My bad."

This is not a good replacement for: "My mistake." / "I'm sorry." / "Excuse me." / "Oops."

Hopefully the overuse of this phrase will drive it into extinction.

"Like" is the most annoying thing ever.
As in: "Like, I was like, going to the mall like, and some guy like bumped into my car! I was like totally like mad."


no. you I bet you were not "like" mad, you WERE mad.


My sister talks like that.. ..The only difference is she talks and says "like" multiple times instead of just once each time and she also keeps saying "and."
EXAMPLE:
...And, and, and, like, it was so so so cool! I Like, Like, Like, I love it!

And I hear something like that every day.
