I worked with this guy who would call toilet paper poo poo tickets. Its as if toilet paper wasnt in his vocabulary at all and he could only say poo poo tickets. It made me cringe every time.

also when people say furthermore, ladies and gentlemen and moist. what else can be added to the list?

For some reason it bothers me when people say "baby" with nothing in front of it. For example "Fun things for you and baby to do" or "how to keep baby happy". People wouldn't say "fun things to do with wife" so I'm not sure why it's different for (a) baby.

What about 'ladies and gentlemen' annoys you? Seems pretty innocuous and also useful in certain situations, like if you needed to get the attention of a group made up of men and also women.

That seems kinda antiquated - I don't think people say that very often anymore. None of this bringing up baby, baby's day out bullshit.

"You think?" when used sarcastically. That one really pisses me off if it's directed at me - probably more than the speaker intends.

"Yeah it is" and the like when the accent is on "yeah" and the person is agreeing with you. The inflection makes it sound like the person is disagreeing with you. It's weird.

I kind of get it though. It means someone who is active in a positive way as opposed to someone being just active which has rhe connotation of something that is engaged in some sort of activity in general

this is actually an extremely good phrase, since it captures an important notion "i have no control over how this plays out so i'm just going to focus on dealing with it"

Meatgrinder: Jul 11, 2003; Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est

As a non native speaker - English is my third language - I am never able wrap my head around two very common phrases. One is 'to reference', the other 'to come with'.

For the first, I knew the verb 'to refer (to)' and the noun 'a reference (to)', so using 'to reference' just seems weird to me. For the latter, I knew 'come along' and 'come with me', so 'come with' just seems wrong.
