Well, please try.

“Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me.”
That is the biggest balony, words can be so hurtful. Who taught the kids this one?
“The early bird catches the worm.”
There are enough worms to go around. I’d prefer my sleep and catch a different worm at my own pace.
“When in Rome, act as the Romans do”
Why in the world would someone follow some random dude’s practices without knowing the reason behind them. It’s okay to be a little out of the box!
“I don’t know”
Well, please find out

“nothing free in life”
while life itself is actually free, which is how it has to be, non-existant people have no money
iPhones Rule: I got so curious about the right/left HAND side thing, so I researched it and here’s what I found:
?
1- I suppose that ‘hand’ is used to distinguish from right as in correct. By that logic, we use hand on the other side, too, to distinguish from left as in remaining.
2- Handedness is perhaps the most common way of teaching someone left from right. While there are other natural things that exhibit consistent directionality (the circular flow of water in a drain in a given hemisphere; the rotation of the earth when seen from above a particular pole, etc.) none is as readily accessible to the viewer as her or his own handedness. Most of us know from an early age which of our hands is dominant, and that is labeled by our elders as either right or left, depending on our proclivities (let’s skip the brain dominance discussion for now).
We can then identify whether the direction or side we are considering corresponds to our right or left side, based on our knowledge of our dominant hand. I think the hand reference when discussing side is a reflection (residual) of this basic analysis we learned in our youth.
3- ?Does anyone think it could have something to do with the cadence [the way a person’s voice changes by gently rising and falling while he or she is speaking] in “right-hand side”? In “right side” there is a longer pause between the words. Consider also for instance the fact that people tend to say, “Where’s it at?” and not “Where’s it?”?
I don’t recall ever having asked “Where’s it at?” all my life.
“I couldn’t care less.”
Or worse, I could care less, which means the EXACT opposite of what it intends to convey.
It is so annoying when people preface a statement with, “Honestly” or “to tell you the truth.” Does that mean that youre lying unless you specifically say that youre not? It seems so unnecesary.
Oh, I find that people who use that one ALL THE TIME are usually liars who lie almost all the time.
And my favorite: “Hello how are you I wanted to ask you to..” (punctuation, question mark, etc. intentionally omitted) Caller had no interest in my well-being, at all.
So my response when hearing that introduction on the phone: “Liar!”
Hu?!?
You asked me something. Did you mean it?
“do you mind if…”
usually a self centred phrase 2 follow!
e.g if I go first..
“Don’t aks what happened!”
I won’t.
when people say ” just follow your dreams” I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re goin’, and hook up with them later
Or when people ask “can I ask you a question? I usually respond “you just did”
‘believe you me’
(so irritating!!)
‘same difference’
(so……is it the same? or different? are the differences between the two things that you’re comparing the same?)
‘no problem’
(why can’t people just respond with a you’re welcome….???)
And how about “that’s a long story?”
A long story is just a short story that no one wants to tell.
Just say that you would rather not talk about it.
How about “what’s up”… Ummm the clouds maybe….
… “I hear that”
DUHHH!! That’s why I am talking to you!
🙂 🙂
“Yo” ??????
This one really turns me off: “I’ve got your back!”
Really? And should I be expecting a ransom note in the mail?
“treat your family like guests and your guests like family”
its just once cylce over and over………..who is to say wich is how you should treat what ifyou treat the other the other way????
You treat both the same way.
“Pull up your socks” like, why not “tuck in your shirt”?
CIJ, never heard that one. I did hear “get dressed” instead of “tuck in your shirt”.
“pull up your socks” is an expression meaning “you had better improve” The first time my mother said that to me when I was little, I was very confused, because I didn’t wear socks…but I pulled up my tights anyway, until she explained what she meant 🙂
You don’t really want to do that…
Or
No you don’t like that at all. I know you.
Or
You’re sure? (10 times)
I’m not crazy. I know what I like, what I want to do and when I say stuff I (almost always) mean it.
“For goodness sakes”
….?
“You can’t always get what you want.”
Especially when a choir is singing the words. Over. And over. And over again.
For, like, seven minutes.
For goodness sakes–“goodness” is a euphemism and the phrase is the replacement of real swearing.
“I’ll tell you when you get older.” Only now, there’s no way I remember all those questions I had when I was seven, eight, nine etc. years old!! 🙁
I don’t hate lines but I’ll tell u my two favorites
1:You know what ever fries your latkes
2:You are obviously not the sharpest Knife in the shlachthoisen
In some sort of study it was found that the word whatever is the most irritating word in the world
bendit – is that supposed to be the Jewish version of “not the sharpest tool in the shed”? It’s cute!
“3 day yomtov” “making shabbos” “say what?”
Schlachthois! Schlachthoisen would mean slaughter pants!
lvt – i love the word whatever! Maybe it’s coz I’m a teenager….?? My former English teacher HAAAAAATES it when girls use the word “like” for just about anything – “Like, I went to the store, and I was like, “Do you have these shoes in like, pink or something?” And she looked at me like, “What’s your problem?” and she was like, “Um, no,” so then I decided to go to, like, another store”…….
its supposed to be a cute line and I don’t speak Yiddish sorry
“I could care less”
Good to know.
