Words Or Phrases That Make You Cringe

[Dino Velvet]

1) Words: Absolutely.
I would like to know when the word Absolutely became a substitute for 'yes' and I am sick of hearing it on the radio and on tv when someone is asked a question and instead of saying yes, no, I do not know, say 'Absolutely!' as if this meant something.

Worse when they say it like "Absotutely".

I use the word "like" way too much also. Trying to behave better in 2014.

I absolutely hate The Valley and stopped going there when they closed down the Disneyland of gun stores.

"No Problem "

WTF is that a constant warning the soon what you say just might be a problem ?

"To be perfectly honest..."
"The real truth is..."
"I wouldn't lie to you..."

I don't cringe but more lean in as the next thing I hear I know will be a lie.

When someone describes themselves with this formula: "Now I'm not saying I'm the nicest person in the world". Or "I'm not saying I'm the easiest person to get along with"...I think you really have to describe what you are saying by telling me what you're not saying? Are you sure you're not actually saying you're a bit of an asshole?

"Now I don't want to sound [insert word they'll sound like anyway], but..."

Racist, offensive, stupid, etc...insert any of these words and BAM!

I worked under a manager that approached every situation with, "What's the problem?" Even an uncivilized person like myself knows he's being confrontational. Fucker couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag but he sure was talented escalating the situation forcing the sacking of a drunk when everything could have been avoided.

Maybe he's lazy too (definitely a dickhead). He says what's the problem because the only response to that is "there is no problem". If he said "what's going on", he might actually have to help manage the place.

Oh nevermind. You were a bouncer right? So maybe he was trying to bait people into confrontation.

Language barrier combined with substance abuse issues(tweeker). The owners caught him red handed in the office fiddling with his chemistry set and a gal that worked afternoons in "the tomb".

Like Jimmy "The Mouth Of The South" Hart. I was working by the hour too. All I wanted to do was lean against a wall and goof off.
