    Not sure if it has been mentioned but... "ironic".

    When I saw this guy from high school last year:

    "I just saw you in the yearbook the other day. How ironic!"

    No, dude, it is not ironic. It's a damn coincidence.

    I would have to agree. That is perhaps the most annoying thing to me personally. Ironic isn't it?

    I really hate it when sports guys say something like “the Rockets need a PG who can guard the Steve Nashes and the Chris Pauls of the league.”

    Uh….last time I checked, there was only one Steve Nash and one Chris Paul in the league. Why are they plural? Did I miss the story saying they were cloned? Why not just say “the Rockets need a PG who can guard the better PG’s in the league”?

    I also agree that anyone over the age of 16 who said “like” 4 times per sentence needs to be shot.

    I didn't read the whole thread so I'm sure someone has already brought up that stupid word, SYNERGY.

    Talk about used and abused.

    I'm never wrong. The sooner this board realizes it, the better off we'll all be.

    Alright, that was funny. Rep up a point.

    But you're still wrong about "often..."

    "Basically... that's my chair... basically..." :p

    But, really, one that I think is highly abused:

    "To be honest with you..."
    ^ WTF?!?!!? You weren't honest with me before, so now you had to make sure I knew you were...? :confused:
    LOL! That's a good one, Mr. GroggleRock! :D

    No NO NOOO!!

    You are doing WELL. I'm well...

    Oh and the following exchange drives me mad.

    Me: Thank you.
    Other: You welcome.

    YOU welcome? No, me Mulder, you Tarzan.
