Ock,

I hear snafu being used alot by the softy office types.

It's usually something along the lines of "yeah hey how are you? Listen, there was a little....snafu with the Johnson account, yeahh if we could fix that it would be grrrrreat.

Let's see, what other phrases are annoying

Oh I know, the phrase "har har har' is pretty annoying when someone doesn't think something is funny (i get it a lot)

Hm what else..."i'll have a Latte with soy milk?"

"god willin the creek don't rise"

"do what now" when someone is asking you to repeat yourself

"i tell you what" a phrase commonly used to preface whatever it is the person is going to say next anyway.

Common phrases heard in the south also irk me for some reason, such as:

"that jags game was sadder than two two legged dogs trying to mate outside a kenny chesney concert" er maybe any of the it's hotter than sayings:  "It's hotter than two gophers f***ing in a wool sock"

or any other jeff foxworthy-ism that requires that you speak in metaphors for that matter.

Yeah, the excessive quoting is really annoying.  Especially when people quote themselves.

How about:


"Irregardless"


I love this definition to that word. "without lack of disregard"   ;D

How about ANY of Rachel Rays "cutesy" words or sounds.  My most irritating thing is when you are talking to someone and they keep repeating "Right".."Right"..Like they are trying to speed up the conversation or validate it for you.Yea you know who you are...

During hurricane season:

"Hunker down"

^ Very annoying!

Continuing with the hurricane season phrases, how about "Hi, I'm Jim Cantorie."

Apparently at my work the phrase "sounds like user error to me" is just the pinnacle of comedy that never gets old.

For anyone who hasn't been subjected to it, if there’s something wrong with your computer or any kind of equipment you're using for that matter, someone here almost always say's "sounds like user error to me!" and then everyone laughs and laughs while I envenom a dagger.
Conformulate. Be conformulatable! It's a perfectly cromulent deed.

Add to that list:

-  "Ya know?"
Yikes.
I had a friend who ended almost every sentence with that.
*shudders*
My home is my body.
My protection is right action.

How about people jokingly refer to Target with the French pronunciation "Tar-zhay"?
