Just sayin' and other phrases to get rid of NOW Reprinted with permission from the Campus Times, the student newspaper of Campbellsville University By Jake DeSpain, Staff Writer A CU junior from Campbellsville, KY Even though I am a mass communication major, I am big enough to admit that I do not have the best handle on the English language, nor do I always speak with maturity. However, there are 10 words and phrases that have run their course and need to be eliminated from our vocabularies -- immediately. My top 10 most annoying words and phrases of all time are as follows and are in no particular order: Just sayin': Why is it when we give our opinion on something that may offend someone else do we say "just sayin'"? Is this supposed to make our comment less offensive? It is time we just muster up the courage to give our opinion. Period. YOLO: Some might call this the millennial's battle cry. It started out as a hashtag sensation that went viral. The acronym, short for "you only live once,",is mainly used whenever someone is about to do something that is probably not too smart. For example, you may be contemplating going outside in only your underwear in below freezing weather to take part in a polar vortex challenge and your best friend screams "YOLO!" You may only live once, but that doesn't mean you have to be stupid. I know, right: This is a comment used frequently as a response when someone is agreeing with you. Get real, they are not agreeing with you. They are probably not even paying attention to what you're saying and that is just a response to get you to stop talking. It is sometimes used in texts as "ikr" and is just as annoying. #goals: I am aware we live in a hashtag world. Please, leave your hashtags for Twitter and quit saying them out loud. I have goals for my life, and often speak of my goals. I just don't feel the need to use the word "hashtag" before I repeat them. Sorry, not sorry: You're not sorry, but you say you're sorry, then you say you're not sorry. Just stop it. Seriously. Either you're sorry or you're not. Don't sugar coat it. Bye, Felicia: Poor Felicia. She is always getting kicked to the curb. If you are done with something or mad at someone, perhaps you should find another way to verbally express that. Please leave Felicia out of it. Bae: We all know by now what this word actually means in another language. Why keep using it? Just say "honey" or "baby" or "sweetheart." Enough said. Totes: This is a slang word for "totally" which is something my parents said in the 1980s. Do you like my new leg warmers? Totally! I guess the people who use this word today don't want to be associated with anyone my parents" age, so they shorten it and say "totes.". This does not make the use of this word any cooler. Amazeballs/awesome sauce: I really don't even have the words to express how annoying this is. I am sure that perky people everywhere use this word/phrase multiple times daily to express their excitement. My eyes automatically roll whenever I hear it. Keep calm and (insert random word(s) here): Keep calm and just drink more coffee. Keep calm and just take a nap. Keep calm and quit saying keep calm. I know not everyone will agree with my list, and that is OK. It is perfectly fine to peacefully disagree. But, removing at least some of these words and phrases from your vocabulary will not hurt you one bit and will make me feel a lot better. And it is all about me, right? Just sayin'.
