As you can see, a lot of them are still in use. And a lot of them, I still use. For example: bummer, zits, not so much, to name a few. And every once in a while, yadda yadda yadda, sneaks in. I was a big Seinfeld fan.
Are there any you still use?
Yahoo-So you find certain words annoying? Whatever
Oh my, you hit on a number of my personal peeves...whatever being the worst offender!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better, keeping warm, and that your New Year is off to a great start!
Whatever makes me cringe. I dislike it, too. We are feeling good now and keeping warm. It is suppose to get to 16 today. Staying inside is the order of the day.
DeleteA work phrase that drives me crazy : Going Forward. It is so overused! There are more but I can't think of them right now...
ReplyDeleteIn the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" they were always saying "Hee-Haw" that would drive me mad too.
Happy New Year!

Yes, "hee-haw' would definitely drive a person nuts. lol
DeleteWow groovy. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe current new buzz word "EPIC" drives me batty.
I guess I am an old throwback - I still use some old slang on occasion: bummer, zits, right-on, busted, can you dig it, don’t go there, get over it, get a room, and being from California the classic, "gag me with a spoon" and "Totally." I usually use that on my adult children to bug them.
I will now be more aware of what and how much I do use. Never thought of it before.
Haaa! There are actually phrases that I use with only certain people. A friend and I always answer "Whazzz Up?" when we call eachother. Kind of fun. Our own little handshake.
ReplyDeleteYou brought a smile to my otherwise boring day!
Hugs,
