Stop Saying That!

Okay so, I am all for freedom of speech. In fact, that is my favorite amendment. There are some words and phrases however, that are quite frankly driving me bonkers. 






1. Thinspiration -thinspirational, thinspired, thinspiring. This is just really annoying and I'm just really sick of this whole thing. 


2. "Super" -super cool, super cute, super everything! I'm guilty of this myself and I'm trying to get out of the habit of using it so much. I love saying super cool and super cute, especially. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just bored with it.


3. LOL -I know it is a habit, we all do it, we can't help it. We have to LOL at everything, but not everything deserves an LoL. It's really bad when you LOL at things that aren't even remotely humorous. It's like, liking a status, that you don't even like. I've done that too, it's pathetic!  


And, sometimes I say LOL, when I really mean to say...

4. Winger -right-winger, left-winger, whatever-winger. I hate the word winger! I don't care what your political views are, please don't call me a winger! 


I'm sure there are plenty of others, I just can't think of them off the top of my head. There are a lot of words I use often, that I'm sure people get sick of. 


Like, seriously, I love the word seriously, LOL -oops, there I go lol-ing again and the sad part is, I'm lol-ing at myself-. 


I use to use like constantly when I was younger, when I was a wannabe valley girl. I've gotten better. Occasionally, it comes out and then I think I sound all valley girl-ish like I did back then and I grew out of that ages ago.




Are there are any words or phrases you hear often that you wish people would stop using? What are they and what is it about them that bugs you?

    1. Yeah it's hard isn't it? I haven't LOLed or said super all day today other than just now, but that's because I haven't written anything and haven't been on Facebook until now, so we'll see how it goes. I'm actually keeping a log so I'll know how many times I use these words.

    1. Exactly. You know what's the most difficult for me are post titles. I'm always trying to come up with something new and catchy, and I struggle with that.
