bah I rather like "can't see the forest for the trees."

by the way... most of these don't seem to be idioms.

Irregardless could be.... from idiots.

The miss/over use of this word makes my skin crawl and now some idiot put it in a dictionary so other idiots can wave it in my face to tell me it is a 'real' word...

If a picture paints a thousand words, a carelessly discarded enema syringe paints about twenty-five hundred.

I can't stand when people use the word 'like' as a pause or a point in a sentence:

"I'm so like,stoopid and like,don't have a grasp on the English language".

I have to admit to using this once or twice though,how tragic.

Heh, that's mine - actually the worst is my friend who types "u no?" when she means "You know?" Drives me up a wall.

I have a black belt in keeping it real!

Other then that everything I despise has been covered already,

Except this, my hate is reserved for people who go "You know! oh you know what i'm talking about, you so know, You know?" its sort of near the "Like" replacing the little dot near the question mark in the big book of schemes.

You never really know! :eek:

I think some people just need validation because they are unsure of themselves and unconsciously say "you know?" when the other person's comprehension is not really in question. Stay away from these people. :D

"They're going to strap" instead of "they're going to scrap."
"Flick the bird" instead of "flip the bird."

I don't like anyone calling me "homes" or "holmes" ('cause I'm on Moriarty's side) or "esse" (I don't speak Spanish, so I don't know how it's spelled) or "bro."
