    Annoying words or phrases

    We all have items in our modern spoken language that are irritating to us.

    "Melty cheese" irks the hell out of me when I hear it. It is supposed to be meltED cheese. There is no such thing as "melty". I picture a 5yo asking mommy for a "melty cheese" sammich. Quite a few commercials these days use that idiotic, childish term. Has our society devolved to a kindergartner level when speaking? It started with Taco Bell a couple years ago, now just about any ad I see for something with melted cheese on it is "melty"

    Any commonly used "non-words" in today's clown world irritate you?

    "It is what it is" is another. No shit, is it really what it is?

    Ok, dont get me started but right now in the corporate world and on TV, soooo many people will say "blah bla bla this that the other" then they say "RIGHT". quit saying right after everything you say "RIGHT".

    Just stop ending every sentence saying RIGHT , RIGHT. Please just stop it those people.

    How about "reach out"? Corporate all the way. When I hear "reach out" I picture some urchin in the water desperately reaching for a rescue rope you [deliberately] threw just a little bit away from them!

    Absolutely my most despised in the last 10 years. F'ing hate it.

    I also despise using the term "a minute" to mean a long time.

    Recently I hear people saying "populate" to mean filling something up. I "populated" my shelf with cans of soup. Freaking yuck. I think it is spillover from computer talk.

    That one grates on me too.

    Another is "vision". Thoughts and ideas are fine, but "I have a vision" sounds like they are seeing shit.

    Watch these stupid millennial commercials..especially that stupid ass CARMAX ad..theyll answer with both yes AND no.."um no..yeah.SURE".
    "No,yeah sure its ok" THAT shit drives me bonkers.
    Perfect example here:

    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.
