Believe me ....

Honestly ....

Hot water heater (Hot water wouldn't need to be heated)

Conservative/liberal when meant as a pejorative rather than a descriptor.

Superfluous "not" usage is a strangely Kentuckian thing.

Did you not tell them what I told you to tell them?

Did you not go to the store?

Did you not see him do that?

It seems to have originated in the Winchester area then spread like wildfire.
Never not is used a lot in the upper mid west.

I will never not have a dog.
Vs: I will always have a dog.

so you believe in "common sense" gun control? :flushed:
Yes common sense gun control means using both hands. Plus liberals use the phrase "common sense gun control" when there is nothing common sense about it.
Stealing words and changing their meaning is what they do though. Just look at the word liberal, it used to mean what you think about when you think tea party. That platform was so wildly popular that communists stole the word and called themselves that because no one with common sense or decency would ever vote for communism.

"Clearly"

"I'm 100% certain..."

"It boggles the mind..."

"Facts are stupid things"

I also hate when people try to speak proper to the point they misspeak words such as saying sex instead of six. I mean it can be real confusing when you ask a young lady "What would you prefer" referring to how many of something and she says "Give me Sex". It can lead to all kinds of problems for someone like @Willy4UK. :grimace:

using "verbal" when what you really mean, specifically, is "oral" I understand that verbal has more or less come to equal oral in many people's minds, but the primary meaning of verbal = with or comprised of words (i.e., written or oral) whereas the opposite is "non verbal", meaning without words.

I never want verbal sex.

Anyone ever listen to someone who constantly uses phrases like "YOU KNOW" or "NORMALLY SPEAKING" or how about "WELL TO BE HONEST" and they say them over and over and over..................................

Anyone else hear these ?

Feel free to add to the list.
Well to be honest, no. You know, I could be wrong, normally speaking.

It drives me insane that the younger generation can't complete a sentence without saying "like" at least 3 times. My daughters boyfriend was at the house the other night and in one sentence I counted 5 times he said like. :chairshot:
Agree totally. And also the stupid phrase " I know, right"? Who the hell started that anyway? It makes no sense.

True dat.

What really annoys me is when you're talking to a drunk redneck and they always have to nudge you with their elbow and ask you to agree with them every 2 minutes. As if their entire existence is dependent upon your affirmation. Agreement is mandatory among the drinking poors for some reason.
