Slang you hate

I'm so sick of Berman that, when watching the Sunday night SportsCenters, I mute the "Blitz" segments.

 

Methinks texting while driving is your bad.

 

Because of a thread similar to this one years ago, I now make a point to always respond to "thank you" with "you're welcome."

 

A standing ovation to that. I hate the plural of a player shit. Drives me nuts. If you mean the player, just say the player. If you mean someone like him, either say "A player similar to Tom Brady or Peyton Manning" or say "an elite NFL quarterback"

 

I admit it's not safe at all, but once you memorize the keypad, you can do it without looking. And my driving can't be that bad -- it's been almost five years since my last accident and more than two years since my last ticket.

 

To expand on sammiches, Dane Cook did the language much injustice when he introduced the word sangwiches. I was sitting with the wife getting her enrolled in college and a girl said she was going to get a sangwich, to which I almost jumped over the desk and strangled her, never to eat that god-forsaken sangwich.

 

In all my life, I've never had a standing ovation before.
*tear*

 

Not slang, but I do have a rant that may fit on this thread.

"Dodger blue"

There is no such mother fucking color as Dodger blue. There IS Royal blue, navy blue, sky blue, midnight blue, dark blue, light blue ... but there IS NO SUCH GODDAMN COLOR AS DODGER BLUE.

Scholly.
Commonly found on fanboy Internet message boards, used as, "How many schollys is Pitstain U gonna give out this year?"
Drives me up the fucking wall.

 

GFY

 

In the same vein, there is "Carolina blue," which is also powder blue or baby blue.
Of course, calling North Carolina "Carolina" is slang in itself.

 

I think Dodger Blue is supposed to be more a concept than an actual color.
