Starting a sentence with the word 'So'.

The word 'zen'.

People who put San after a Japanese person's name when speaking English. :mad:
Haha, people are such dorks.
So, like, i totalleh have tolerance for that kind of cultural appropriation! It is so Zen!
So, my fave Asian-American athalete is NishiSan. He plays so fast, but so Zen! AZN powa!

I enjoy when people overuse super as a prefix. We're sooparexcited go to NeekaRrragwa for spring break this year. It'll prolly be epic. And soopar cheap. And suupar funn! We're super psyched to plan it.

I blame the NFL for their, like soopar Soopar bowl, starting that trend. It's soopar trendy. I also blame rick james.

Hey, so, i am done with people being "done," like it is totalleh about them. Ridiculous narcissism. Oh and the word Ridiculous, while we're at it. Epicly and ameazengly overused. Redonkulus, too.
I am soopar done with the word Insane. It used to mean mentally not sane. Then it meant just crazy....like crazy eddie's prices. Now it means just a little excessive....crayzay. Like a harder-than-usual hour in the gym....insanity! Or insane amounts of something, referring to two sccops of ice cream instead of one. Or two ounces of jalapeño slices instead of one. Or yeah, this is an insane week man, i have like three assignments, two practice matches and a tournament this weekend. Insane. Hmm really? Reallleh?

Confusions regarding Your/You're and Its/It's.
Only those?
What about affect/effect, their/there/they're, Colombia/Columbia, separate/seperate(x) , lose/loose, tomorrow/tommorrow(x)
(x) : words that do no even exist in English.
 
Yeah I’m sure the one at Starbucks really care

I rather have someone to say F off if that’s what they feel than that false bulls.
Starbux, man, yeah, so lame. You would like it here at my coffee house. I have trained the staff thusly:
"Enjoy yer drink, (reads off cup label) TheGhostoFagassi. Oh, and F right off as I do not care what sort of day you have the moment you walk away from my counter."

Yep I'm livin tha dream. Life is good. Happy Bacuz i employ millennials in debt.
My training manual begins most sentences with, "So." Ends most sentences with, "yo." But imma hafta take the advice of the eloquent eminem and incorporate some nice impactful gems like, "yknow whut im sayen?"

I am just gonna leave this here.
I am done with, "hoald mah beer."
And this morning, i heard someone say both "reach out", and "circle back."

I live in Scandinavia and here we don’t say those stupid phrases. We rather be quiet than say something we don’t mean.

We get offended if someone say something they don’t mean as it’s almost sarcastic in a way to do.

I know I have said it already, but this week alone I have had at least a dozen phone calls from vendors who are "reaching out." EVERYONE is reaching out for something and I don't get why this is so common in corporate speak. It just sounds weird to me.

Edit: shoot. slice bh compliment already mentioned it today. lol
