Expressions That Irritate The Hell Out Of Me

[Pappy]

Hey, be good now!!!
Does that mean I can be bad later?

 

[fureverywhere]

And another thing - who the hell are they to tell me to "drink sensibly"?

Sensibly is so very subjective, sensible for you might be you can still see at least one line on the road...for me I might wait until the leprechauns can escort me home.

Not from the news, but

That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

Hate that ... sounds like a curse to me. And it isn't true, and it is often used to fob someone off who is having a really difficult time.

Or......It could be an acceptance that life will offer hurdles and to overcome them leaves one stronger, and a better person for it.

Lipstick on a pig? Never made much sense of this one.

A promiscuous pig???

Believe it or not some people, usually women still say 'over the moon' --- it reminds me of something a 1940s or 1950's era lady would say and I usually get a visual of a cow in the sky. I can't relate to that at all.

I get that same cow jumped over the moon visual.

Means a pig is a pig is a pig -- no matter how you dress it up.

A man was found, way off in the woods, handcuffed to a tree, with a bullet hole through his forehead. According to the TV reporter, "Police labeled the death as suspicious". DUH!

I hate that, too!

I feel laid to rest is more dignified than he done bought the farm

What irritates me is taking already simplistic words and dumbing them down further...convo, vacay, staycay, cray cray, bae. Oh and " My bad". When somebody says that they aren't apologizing. They're just exclaiming that they did something rude.

What is a cray cray, pray tell? A crayon??

He he he .. I remember, 'over the moon'. Wasn't that what Ralph Kramden would say to Alice on the Honeymooners? " One of these days Alice..."

Naw, he was going to knock her to the moon. Over the moon means very happy.

I couldn't stand it whenever I would see this one doctor and he would always say "Be well." I would then think well doesn't he want to see me when I'm not well. What the heck is going on? The reason I was seeing him was that I was not well after all!

Oh ok. Yeah, I was a little off on that one, thanks !!

There's this one guy on our news that insists on saying "disorientated;" I feel like screaming at the TV "NO, you idiot, it's "disoriented."

 

[Falcon]

To say the least.

Having said that,
