A simple turn of phrase… or Words Not To Live By

Re: A simple turn of phrase… or Words Not To Live By

I like 'I won you!' I might start saying that to annoy people

Me, too. "I won you", I'm going to have some guilty fun with that one.

I assume it comes from, "I won that for you".

I'd like to add two more:

Owned.

You got served.

I just remembered an expression I dislike...
'that's what your mom said'
that's really popular with the kids around here as a 'smart' reply to just about anything and since I'm the mom... it's offensive in most cases...
My kids sometimes will say it to me when I'm giving them instruction, advice or directives and it pretty much burns me up! although, I do occasionally crack up instead... it can be funny, or it can be rude... depending. It was bigger a few years ago though...not so much now. Either that or it's not as much fun as smoke no longer comes out of my ears... learned to ignore them... darn kids! they love to tease!

I get annoyed when I hear people say --- ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RIGHTY THEN. That just bends me the wrong way for some weird reason.

I also don't like the popular "bling" term. What's wrong with calling it jewlery? Oh, and for a while there, Snoop Dogg had the world captivated with that shizzle stuff. I HATED hearing people "izzle" their worlds--ugh.

Anywho...... lol.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. I hate it when I say, "Thank you," and the other person says, "No problem." Whatever happened to, "You're welcome." This happens all the time and I can't resist saying, "I am so relieved I wasn't a problem or an inconvenience to you." Usually this is in a restaurant and they may look at me weird, but why should I feel I am an inconvenience to them? After all, they are the ones giving slow service, delivering wrong orders or forgetting your order, disappearing forever when you need another refill or are waiting for the check, etc. Geez louise!
