'Like' and other abominations of the English language

A really lovely lady uses "...at the end of the day..." all the time, pretty much to summerise everything she says... to the point of her using it at the end of every sentence.

The only time i use "at the end of the day" is when i'm discussing my going-home plans. ;)
 
I don't know how or when it started but i can't make it stop. Even in my writring. I need help. Like seriously ;)
 
People who use:

lol
omg
wateva
like
too many spelling mistakes
your

too often on teh internetz usually meanz that i wont read they're posts nearly not as much
 
People who 'Uhm' or 'Ahh' at the end of every second sentence or worse. It really makes them look like an idiot to me, I just hate it. Honestly, it's not that hard to stop doing. When I see people give speeches who do it, I stop listening to the content of what they're saying. Instead, every Uhm or Ahh is like burning fire in my ears.

Anyway, that's my little rant.

A friend and I submitted a word recommendation to the Macquarie Dictionary last year, the word....

Anticronym; A statement incorporating an acronym and the redundant noun

e.g.

ATM Machine
ABN Number
PIN Number

etc etc etc

The word was rejected because it was not in common usage across the wider Australian population :p
 
Dude, like stay on the ummm, thread topic. It's like really hella not hot to go off in a completely different.... ya know.... direction. Like it's really lame lol, rofl, "roflcopter""lolerskates""mongoosed""shennanigans,omg,wtf,wateva,fuck,shit,twat,cunt,dingleberry, barbarastreisandbitch-word. But at the end of the day it's all Ashley Simpson denying she got a nose job and Paris Hilton thinking she's all like, deep, an ya know, spiritual now that she done hard time; which is hawtness itself.

This thread has made me notice the word like so much more!! lol

I think it's strange when people write umm in a text message or email.

& it kind of irritates me when people say totally often. As in after everything you say they then reply with 'totaaaally'. Once or twice is fine but said continually, no.

Some of the people in my uni course were really bad offenders when it came to presentations, to the point of saying it 2 or 3 times in every sentence.

Why is it that the word has come to be so overused?

Me and a friend of mine at one point used to say "oh we lolled" when something was quite funny, just so that people could be all you freaks yo...

kitkat, I can't believe you hate the word 'like'. If you hate 'like' you hate me.

I like to say 'ATM machine machine' just to drive the point home. Even my housemate does it now.

EDIT: Oh wait, we basically said the same thing.....great minds think alike, or fools rarely differ,some shit....

Oh, and also I say 'dude' more than anyone who isn't a turtle or a stoner from a 1980's movie with tits in it.
