Hey guys,

Does anyone you know have a speech or linguistic mannerism that drives you up the wall?

My mother has a habit of trailing off and either never finishing the sentence or leaving out chunks, like "There's a pile of newspapers by the door, so can you........?" or "We decided to eat out so.....fairly expensive".

Doesn't *really* bug me but it definitely flicks something in me...

How about you guys?

"So it's like...you know what I'm saying?"

Uh....NO!

Not really a pet peeve, but I totally know what you're referring to Belial!

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Oh yeah, and my sister.

"Yeah, well...."

Well WHAT?

There's a new woman at work who is incredibly loud and perky which is bad enough but combined with finishing every sentence to sound like a question . . . I avoid her like the plague.

I seem to have an annoyihng speech trait that drives others up the wall. I tend to speak at the level I can hear, which means I tend to talk softly. My wife claims that my mother & I can have enitre conversations when we're in separate rooms that she (my wife) can't hear even being in the same room with us. Hmmmmmmm...

I find it absolutely abrasive when people use "you know" excessively, as fillers in sentences. Hillary Clinton is a famous person that I can think of that does that, but I have friends that do that as well. Drives me crazy!!!!!

One thing that bugs me, and I hear it from several people, is the double use of is. "The thing is, is..." "The deal is, is..." It makes me cringe whenever I hear it.

I have a professor at school that breaks every 5 seconds in her lecture to say "MMM kay?" OMG! Exactly how are we supposed to learn anything?

Maybe he's watched the "Drugs are bad, mmmkay?" teacher on South Park too much!

I cannot stand people explaining their thoughts to me and ending it with......"You know what I mean?" I always expect them to end it with "Vern" just like Ernest T. Warrell

it drives me a little bugshit when someone uses too many non-decriptive nouns. like... "you know, that thing over by that place that has that whatchyamacallit on it?" and then i'm expected to interpret this. my sister does this all the time and then looks at me blankly when i tell her i have no idea what she's saying or if she is even speaking english.

One of the women I work with says "Nummy" when refering to food. I've never heard her once say "Yummy" "Tastes good" or anything else, I really want to tell her she sounds like a 5 year old!

Back to work now..

Here's one that I notice in advertisements all the time which drives me over the wall ....

they say "There's nothing like this in the world" or "There's nothing that does this".

Instead they should be saying "There's nothing ELSE like this in the world" or "There's no other ________ that does this" ... at such times, I've been known to scream at the tv or radio "Other ... there's no Other _____" ....

Silly isn't it!
