"Well how was I supposed to know that" when they don't take even a moment to think about how to do something or read instructions
 
How bout double negative southern Ebonics (floriDUH thing) "I ain't gonna .......no more". I usually say "really? What grade did u drop out?"
 
I teach high school....o I have so many.

"I aint got no time fo dat."

"Where he/she at?"

"I aint got none."

"I know. But....."

"Where you at?"

The word "swag" in general.

"Dat girl be ratchet (this is a new one lately meaning "dirty" or "skanky")"

The kids use the word "thirsty" now in terms of someone being desperate. Example "Dat girl aint got no prom date..oooo...she be so thirsty..look her act'in all cute wit him"

Another one is the word "twirk" it means to dance in an extremely awful but supposedly sought after way...shaking the behind violently in public. The girls in my high school make fun of one another for not being able to do this. I just don't get it.
 
O and one more, one of my most annoying. "Mr. Gordon...I was trying to axe you a question"

Axe instead of ask....I cant freaking stand this one. If I wanted a axe I would go to home depot buy an axe and go into the forest and cut down a tree.

There, they're, and their. The constant misuse of them bothers me.

Using "was" instead of "were." For example: "I wish I was able to afford that trip." It should read: "I wish I were able to afford that trip." Was is past tense and makes no sense in the sentence above.

Lolololol!!!!! I'm wit u homey!
 
I have a friend that goes "#swag" for anything he does that he thinks is cool. Like literally, says "hashtag."

And anything that anyone does that is below par or dumb mistake he says "#n00b!" It just makes me want to punch/rage him every time he says that to me. Must be the Halo gamer in me... LOL.

"Phablet"
Pretty much any sort of slang (ratchet, twerp, twork, blah, blah)
And my all time favorite: recycled terms from the 80's and 90's that people "think" make them look hip or cool (you go girl, groove on, etc).. Just be normal and speak some form of English.

It is especially sickening for me when someone tries to judge and speak the way "they think" I would speak, just by looking at me. For example, I'm in Home Depot looking at pvc and the old, bald guy comes up to me and says "yo, is there anything I can help you with my brother".. I turned around and just walked out without saying a word. . Btw, I'm a cargo pant, button down shirt and nunbush kind of guy. .

I guess for me, it's just cornyness overall. .

"Bla, bla, bla" or "Yada, yada, yada" Be specific and continue the conversation, or stop talking (there probably wouldn't be comma's in there though)
"Epic" The definition of epic doesn't seem all that epic to me.
When someone replies, "Everything happens for a reason." God has given us free will, to do both good and bad, things happen because people make choices. Sure cause and effect can go beyond human action, but "everything" doesn't happen for divine reason.
 
"I seen this coral" or "I seen that you did that"

I saw...is it really that hard?

This one is at the top of my list. Being from the south, this is muttered in almost every conversation and I am always compelled to correct the speaker :).

We have a guy at work and everything he says ends with okay. Drives me crazy. I want to throttle him, okay.

"YOLO"

"Swag"

"A whole'nother"

"Used-ta-could" -- A very Southern phrase...

"ain'tcha"

When someone is texting and can't spell out "you," instead they type "yu." Adding the 'o' is apparently too much extra effort! :lalala:
