"I nearly threw up in my mouth."
I get it. You're disgusted. No need to hammer that home with that disgusting thought.

I hate it when sports commentators (or anyone in general) are talking about a group of players, or people (let's say good quarterbacks), and they say, "The Tom Bradys, the Peyton Mannings, the Andrew Lucks, ..."
NO.
There is only ONE Tom Brady, ONE Peyton Manning, and even ONE Michael Vick in the league.
Why do they say that?
It drives me NUTS!!!

In my friend's car, like I did circa 1982 without warning, then proceeded into the Melody.

"Just sayin" - this really bothers me. Own what you say. Take accountability for it or don't say it at all.
Any other lazy abbreviation or acronym.

Wow, just wow! This thread is freakish! For all intensive purposes, imho, it's The. Best. Thread. Ever. so good in fact that I am randomising my, punctua.tion spelling, and grammer.
Agree. You do girlfriends and wives. Not food.
Football commentators and the word "shy". "Just shy of the first down." Shy is never used in that context in any other sport, occupation or endeavor.
You don't hear Jim McKay say "Sven threw the discus just shy of the world record" during an Olympics broadcast. short, just missed, etc.
Or "Gee honey your just shy of ten inches." More like "Gee honey you have big/large/massive/almost ten inch biceps."

I coached a lot of softball seasons. At some point, many of the girls started with this. "Hey coach, who are we versing today?" Typically, I responded by saying we are PLAYING (opponent). We aren't writing them poetry."
I, for one, am not going to sit here while you denigrate the United States of America!
This is one of my daughter's biggest pet peeves. It drives her crazy, figuratively. Not literally. She is still sane.
You hit the nail right on the head. We went to Old Bay in New Brunswick not long ago and the waitress used the phrase "no problem" every time we said thank you... It was driving us nuts.
Dynamic - most incorrectly, and overused, word in all of sports.

Quarterbacking
As in (in a meeting) "BigblockR will be quarterbacking this from our end."
I'd be happy if my boss really wanted me to go outside and throw the ball around, but I have a feeling this means I'll be babysitting a bunch of overpaid professionals who can't be trusted to know how to do their own jobs or take the initiative to do so.
