Things that you're SICK of people SAYING.

[Count Chocula]

"You'd be surprised." Almost certainly the reader/listener is not surprised and the writer/speaker knows it. They're using the phrase to make themselves sound "in the know."

I wouldn't say I'm sick of it but I do find it very silly when people say grow some balls

 

Balls are weak and sensitive. Safety first kids. Wear a cup.

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." Goes with the thinking "if you can't prove it's false, then it's true."

On the same note if you can't prove it's true, then it's false.

I hate it when folk use the word "Ogligated" instead of "Obliged".

I'm not anti-american, I'm anti-obligated!

Speaking of "gate" words, I'm sick of every political scandal in the U.S being tagged as "something-gate," The Nixon Watergate scandal was so long ago I imagine most folks in the U.S.. don't even know where the "-gate" suffix comes from.

In movies and shows, particularly suspense or crime.

 

A family member saying "I need to see the body." I'm sure in real life some people do, but in detective shows everyone does.

 

"I can't tell you over the phone."

 

"Hey, be careful." Might as well say "You're going to die."

 

"Yeah, my husband and I are going on a second honeymoon soon as this assignment is over." Might as well say "I'm going to die."

 

Not something that's said but still an irritating cliche. "Crime solving by epiphany." Used as a quick way to wrap things up in the final episode. It works fine in the show Leopold because that's the show's premise.

Eat - as in "eat some of the extra cost"

 

Tariff - not so much the word but the explanation of what a tariff is. This tariff nonsense has been around since January yet US news media still insist on explaining what a tariff is.

 

Egregious. Came across a couple these this week - not as popular as it was a year ago.

"It's too easy" in the context of being in a position to potentially insult someone. Related to statements along the lines of "I could devastate you right now if I wanted to."

Quite the opposite. The absence of evidence to support a conclusion means that there is no evidence to support a conclusion either way.

 

A lack of evidence of the existence of God is not evidence of His non-existence, but neither is it evidence that he does exist. It simply indicates that there is no basis from which to form an objective conclusion.

The classic complaint about guys playing female characters.

 

They don't get it.

 

I have to 'man-splain' everything they do, every step, every swing, every choice - I as a man must do it for them. It just feels natural.    

[Hepar]

I get frustrated with the phrase 'real quick' when describing something to be done before a task, knowing it won't actually be 'real quick'. I am guilty of this and I need to stop. 

 

"Almost ready to exercise! Just gotta take a nap, real quick."

 

"I'll be ready to leave in 10 minutes, just need to take a real quick shit first."

 

"Let's go to dinner, just need to take a shower real quick."

 

 

[Mari Rin]

For me, such phrases and words almost don't exist. Or rather, it's important who says what. But I hate it when they repeat the same thing several times in a short period of time... Oh, there's definitely one. "Everything means nothing" and perhaps "she just has good heredity." when it's not about looks. although I do work on my appearance, and don’t just eat whatever I want and look like that.

"Let's go to dinner, just need to take a shower real quick."

I suspect the reason you don't like it is the reason many people don't like it: it's vague and completely imprecise. If the person said "I'm gonna take a shower, I'll be about 15 minutes" you might very well be OK with that. Even with the not-so-precise "about." We have no idea how long "real quick" is going to be but we know "about 15 minutes"is probably going to be about 15 minutes.

I hate how the words decimate and decimation are misused! It doesn't mean what people think it is. The enemy team is made of 10 guys, you kill one, congratulation you decimate the enemy team. You didn't massacre them, you only decimate them!

What I don't like is when reading porn comics you see often "I'm cumming", "I'm getting close", "It feels warm inside you" etc. It feels so out of place and always puts me off. It ruins the scenes for me personally.

 

Not sure how well it fits this thread though, but I've heard people say that people are saying it in real life as well.

8 billion people, if it's physically possible, someone does it. But I think to your point, a character in porn fiction, any format, saying "I'm cumming!" seems at least a little bit unrealistic, like a person narrating making scrambled eggs. I can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure I've never said 'I'm cumming!' Again, that doesn't mean no one does. Or that no one ever narrates making scrambled eggs.

No one I’ve ever slept with has ever said “I’m cumming!”, but I have heard “I’m gonna cum!” and variations of that before. I don't know, maybe people are too preoccupied with the fact that they’re cumming to actually say that they’re cumming as it happens, and that’s why all they can say is “fuck!”, “oh god!”, “ah yeah!”, or they just moan/groan. I don’t know anyone that’s been all that coherent when they’re having an orgasm tbh.

When I'm having an orgasm I like to narrate how I make scrambled eggs.
