15 Most annoying phrases

1. "Are you on your period?"

Guys please, just because a girl is angry doesn't mean she is on her period, because if thats the case when you are sleeping she has the right to assume you are dead and bury you in the backyard.

2. "You are so black"

I hate this expression! Whenever a black person doesn't know how to hold fork&knife, how to play a guitar, how to swim, or know something common, they are often condemned with the expression "you're so black" because black is associated with being less intelligent?

 

3. "If its meant to be, its meant to be"                                                                                                      

                          

                                                                     

If fact #1 is true, then fact #1 is true. This falls under the "YOU ACTUALLY JUST SAID NOTHING" category

 

4. "I wanna talk to you"                                                                                                                            

This a 5-word sentence but it can make you think of every bad thing that you have ever done in your life. It becomes even more annoying when you realize the person only wanted to borrow money or return a calculator. dang! You made me anxious for nothing.

 

5. "Be like"                                                                                                                                          

 

When did we replace "Said" with "Be like"? Well done internet, i'm not worried about the legacy  we are leaving our children. well done.

 

6. "Just sayin"                                                                                                                                         

Oh, how Enlightening. Thank you for clarifying that the thing you just said is the thing you are saying. very appreciated.

 

7. "Think outside the box"                                                                                                                   

                                                

                                                                             Where is this box that managers, lecturers and strategic planners keep talking about? i am surely missing something here.

8. " With all due respect"
                                                     

 

Almost always coupled with an insult or unwelcomed advice, this phrase is the smart way to say, "prepare to be disrespected but you  are not get angry or to take it personally although it is obviously personal" e.g "With all due respect, i cheated on you" "with all due respect, you are fired" "with all due respect, i am not attracted to humans anymore"

9. "Bosso Ke mang?"
                               

This one owes its existence to South African Sotho and Tswana people. The term "Bosso ke mang" loosely translates "Who is the boss?" but before you scratch your head trying to come up with an answer, its actually a rhetoric question. The phrase is mostly used as a caption on pictures e.g Graduation pictures, First car, first house, first wedding ring, etc. Strangely, the people who use this phrase have never owned and managed a company, never finished University( struggling with 2 major modules for the last 5 years) but they have the decency to ask "bosso ke mang?"

10. "Ke december boss"
                                       

Also coined by the Sotho people of South Africa(They are the ones ruining local internet)... Thanks for the revelation guys. I thought we were still in July hey. Incase there is anyone using the viking calendar, the year is 2015, December.

 

11. "I , Myself, personally"                                                                                                                       

                                          

Thanks for speaking on behalf of your other 2 dopplegangers. when a person uses this expression all i hear is "I, I, I" it sounds like a broken record

 

12. "you know"                                                                                                                                    

No i do not know what goes in that sick twisted mind of yours. This is one confusing expression, is it a question or a statement?

 

13. "Literally"                                                                                                                                       

Should mean "figuratively". Because It makes so much sense to "literally explode" or "literally die" right? .....Come on internet, we are better than this.

 

14. "That's gay!"                                                                                                                                      

Lets not give homosexuals that much credit, they don't deserve it. not every nice, interesting or bogus thing is gay. You can try saying that is "weak" "stupid" or "too flamboyant"

 

15. YOLO                                                                                                                                              

This is by far the dumbest expression i have everheard. it is mostly used as an excuse for doing something selfish, irresponsible or stupid. it wins the trophy!

Before you speak or act foolish, remember YODO(You Only Die Once) too, and before Drake told you to seize the moment, did you think you lived twice?
