But here goes:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Same difference<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p>It really really bothers me when people use this in everyday language. As far as I know, people equate this phrase to &#8220;same thing,&#8221; but I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re the same. I&#8217;ve only used the phrase while talking about math, when two equation&#8217;s differences are the same&#8211;hence, &#8220;Same difference.&#8221; &#8220;Same difference&#8221; and &#8220;same thing&#8217; are opposite. At least, they are to me.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">&#8220;Who cares?&#8221;<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p>It irritates me when people say this. Especially to me. I care, obviously, because I took the time and effort to mention it to you. If you don&#8217;t care, awesome. It doesn&#8217;t mean that nobody else in the world cares. Saying &#8220;who cares&#8221; implies that nobody in the world cares.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">The &#8220;n&#8221; word<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why it irritates me so much when people use this word. It&#8217;s completely unnecessary, for one, and it came from a historical slur. I don&#8217;t know. It seems like it&#8217;s not my business to care about such things because they don&#8217;t pertain to me, but&#8230;&#8230;. I just dislike it. A lot.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">&#8220;I love you&#8221;<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p>People who go to my church know this one. I once saw a sticker that said, &#8220;&#8216;Hate&#8217; is a strong word, yet we throw around &#8216;love&#8217; like it&#8217;s nothing.&#8221; This is true. People say &#8220;I love you&#8221; to their spouses and turn around and say, &#8220;I love that outfit!&#8221; or &#8220;I love these meatballs!&#8221; Really, now. Do you really love those meatballs as much as you love your wife? Here&#8217;s an idea: instead of telling your wife how much you love her, take out the need by showing it to her.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">&#8220;FML!!!!&#8221;<\/span>: Wow. Stop whining. Go live in a third-world country like Nigeria, or &#8230;. *ahem* HAITI&#8230; and then try saying &#8220;FML.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">&#8220;?&#8221;<\/span>: GAH. I really hate it when I say something and people respond with a simple &#8220;?&#8221; I always have to follow up with a &#8220;what?&#8221; because this question mark is so&#8230; ambiguous. Are you asking &#8220;what?&#8221; in a shorter way, or are you questioning how I said a certain thing, or what? Be specific, dangit!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">&#8220;PHAT&#8221;<\/span>: This word was popular back when I was in elementary school, but I still hear it float around sometimes. As far as I know, the word was created as the company Phat Farm came into creation, which is a designer clothing store. People use it to mean &#8220;cool&#8221; or something. &#8220;Man, that movie was really phat.&#8221; Wow, I say. Was the movie about McDonald&#8217;s? Or did it eat there? Or what?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">&#8220;That&#8217;s really gay&#8221;\/&#8221;retarded&#8221;<\/span>: You&#8217;re equating gay people to stupidity just because they&#8217;re part of a minority. If that&#8217;s not offensive, I don&#8217;t know what is. What if I said, &#8220;Man, that&#8217;s so atheist.&#8221; or &#8220;Man, that&#8217;s so liberal.&#8221; What would you think, then?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">&#8220;You&#8217;re weird.&#8221;<\/span> : I&#8217;ve blogged about this before, but I still hear it being said. What, do you think, gives you the right to call someone else &#8220;weird&#8221;? You&#8217;re just as unique as the next person; if not physically, then emotionally, mentally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright, I&#8217;ve held back on this one because I wanted more time to compile as many as I possibly could.
