words that should die a horrible fiery death

Not words so much, but words used in the wrong way.... like

"Can you borrow me $20?"
"I could care less."
Someone asks "Do you care if I look in your purse?"
and the person responds,"Yes." When they mean they do not mind.

"I could care less" is acceptable to me, though not to the missus.

It's more of a statment than "I couldn't care less." The absence of a qualifier makes it seem wrong.

"Wanna go to an Atlanta Hawks game?"
"I could care less about basketball but I don't wanna waste the energy."

then the emphasis should be on the "could".

I COULD care less, but I don't want to waste the energy.

and that could care less when people assume they are using it correctly GIVES ME A TIC.

I also hate when meatheads use the word "business" as if they've got a Lambo parked outside instead of an '82 F150 with a pressure washer in the bed.

I hate the word "could" when substituted in the phrase "I couldn't care less."

I hate the word "bedtime" when I've only been home from work for 30 minutes.

I hate hearing "Last call" when I'm just getting warmed up.

I hate the "N" word as uttered by people who don't mean it as a term of affection. It's usually followed up, after seeing the look on my face, with an explanation of how "not all of them are like that". Fuckin douchebag moron racist mother fuckers.

That's all for now - I have to finish my Environmental Law exam.

I agree completely on all but the bedtime part...if amy said it's bedtime to me when I've been home only 30 mins I'd consider myself a lucky man ;)

Why? Cause then you wouldn't have to eat whatever she cooked for dinner? Or becuase you'd only have to endure 30 minutes of nagging that night?





or do you have one of those marriages that is still happy and stuff?

the person I was responding to, shawndavid, is a newlywed with a beautiful wife :)
 
Any sort of office lingo tends to boil my blood.

edit:

Oh, and can anyone borrow me a moist towlette? I don't know where mine are. I might have left them at the liberry, or maybe someone stoled them. I should axe around.

I also HATE it when people begin emails, notes, messages by stating simply "HELP!". Assuming that there is no visible blood on the message media, and that the person had time to form a message at all, would lead me tp believe that it is not a life threatening matter, so please use some intelligence in your notification process.
 
One of my old bosses used to make up phrases like, "loosey goosey." I'm not sure whether they annoyed me more than the fun I had mocking him.
 
The next time someone says to me "my computer is slower than molasses" I'm going to pistol whip them and set them on fire.

One sure fire way to speed a flow of molasses, or any thick syrup, is it heat it up. Therefore, the next time someone says, "my computer is slower than molasses," you should set it on fire.
 
leverage.
If read another whitepaper that has that word in it I will go on a purple nurple rampage.
