CRANKVILLE: Top 10 Words/Phrases/Things I Hate

I am not in my normal joyous holiday mood today, most likely because I have yet to shower and take my pain medication.  I figured while I was good and Grinch-y today, I'd create a Top 10 List of Words/Phrases/Sayings/Things that I hate.   This doesn't necessarily have to do with the holidays, it's just really a way to purge them from my brain.

# 10:  A commercial I heard last night

I can't even remember what the commercial was for, but I remember EXACTLY what it said:  "The holidays are a time when adults are like children, and children are like angels. "   This saccharine overload just made me more sick to my stomach than I already was.

#9:  Every ridiculous, insulting Kay Jeweler commercial ever made

"Every kiss begins with Kays."  Yep, every kiss in the chops with my fists of fury.  Special Recognition / Horror Show from Kay:

 

# 8:  "At the end of the day..."   

If you try to make a point and punctuate it with this phrase, you may have your day ended for you.  Period. 

# 7:  All Business/Office Lingo Buzzword

Whenever I hear buzzwords, I picture our civilization being taken over by robots.  Worst offender for me?  "I wanted to reach out..."  No.  No you didn't.  You wanted to sell me something or bamboozle me in some way.  Just be honest, I'll have more respect for you.

# 6:  EPIC

My step-kids have informed me that is no longer cool to use this word.  Of course, I will continue to say this around them and their friends whenever possible as it is my job to embarass them.  But you?  Don't say it.

#5:  APPARENTLY

This  is only on here because  apparently, my step-son thinks everything is apparent.  My guess is that if he's saying it, all his friends are too, apparently.

#4:  IRREGARDLESS

You know this isn't a word, right?  

# 3:  CUDDLE

Look, I'm a nice person.  I say nice things, and I'm nice to people like 90% of the time.  But I don't want to cuddle. EVER.  And even more?  I don't want to hear about YOU cuddling.  Even typing that out made me wretch.

# 2:  SNUGGLE

I'm starting to think that I may just have violent tendencies, because again, if you say this to or around me, but you may get a knuckle sandwich.

# 1:  YOU/YOU'RE - THEIR/THERE 

I fully admit that I am guilty of this (rarely!) when I'm typing quickly, but there's always a "#%$#%  I can't believe I just made that mistake!" after I've done it.  

I'm talking about the people who honestly have no clue, even after being corrected a million times by the grammar police that patrol the internet.   Do you here me?  Are language is going to pot. Its really important that we ain't being dum, yous guys.
