It really irritates me when people use phrases like "mixed simile".

"That's hot."

also, "i'm lovin' it"

Yes, I actually heard someone say that... it was a kid and he sang it. *shudders*

I hate when guys adress women they barely know with things like babe, hon, sweetie, love, sexy, and the like. It's so tacky and patronizing. Also I can't stand when other guys call me chief.

The funny part is I have the opposite thing happen - I always have women call me those things, and I like it most of the time

For some reasons, I always get called "bro" instead of chief lol. It also drives me crazy.

hehe, I don't mind it when women call me those things either (which is probably sexist of me, but oh well). Bro and dude don't bother me either. I blame exposure to Fast Times at Ridgemont High at a young age.

Hella.

My girlfriend is from northern California and I make it a point to profess that I can't understand what she's saying when she says "hella."

nē-chē instead of nē-chuh (the shwa wouldn't show up) for Nietzsche.
Guy-ger instead of Gee-ger for HR Giger.

I hate it when someone asks me to do something and then, as they are walking away, adds "please" as an imperative. I just want to smack them in the forehead with a stapler.

I think the one I hate the most is *yawn* on its own as a comment on a posting.

It is so mindless.

"Nods" and "I see". The next person to say those will get slapped silly.
