My gripe is with the word 'exactly'. It's a real word but is often misappropriated.

For example, someone says somthing silly and I spend a few sentences telling them precisely why they are wrong or why I disagree with them and when I'm finished they say "exactly".

ARGH! I want to brain them!

Me: "I just fucking disagreed with you! In no way did my opinion just corroborate yours! ARGH! Do you even know what 'exactly' means? You are fucking weak!"

Them: "Exactly"

Me: "You just fucking did it again! "

Them: "Exactly"

Me: *draws for the nearest heavy, blunt object*

I speak in defense of 'irregardless'.

While certainly not a word, in the greater boston area it just sounds so damn good with the boston accent. And irregardlessly, no one's going to stop saying it.

Well, its not so much not a word but after moving to scotland when i was 13 from hackney i find that they use the word "how" instead of the word "why". A typical conversation could go something like this.

"I dont think im gona bother coming out tonight"
"how?"
"I just cant be fucked, skinto'd and knackered"
"mon tae fuck jist mon oot"
"Nope, night in for me methinks"
"fucksake, how no?"

The worst thing about it is that I am now a regular user of it in this context.

I picked up "drawring" with hard "r" from Wales, well, I make it sound even harder, because I think it's nice

But as a foreigner I have a good excuse to fuck the pronunciation up anyway

Mr. Garrison: Chef, what did you do when white people stole your culture?
Chef: Oh, well, we black people just always tried to stay out in front of them.
Mr. Slave: How did you do that?
Chef: Well, like with our slang. Black people always used to say, "I'm in the house" instead of "I'm here." But then white people all started to say "in the house" so we switched it to "in the hizzouse." Hizzouse became hizzizzouse, and then white folk started saying that, and we had to change it to hizzie, then "in the hizzle" which we had to change to "hizzle fo shizzle," and now, because white people say "hizzle fo shizzle," we have to say "flippity floppity floop."
Mr. Garrison: We don't have time for all that, Chef! Oh, if only those Queer Eye For the Straight Guy people understood what they were doing. Wait. That's it! I know exactly what to do! Come on, Mr. Slave! Let's get back to our flippity floppity floop.
Chef: Oh no! Dammit! Don't call it that!
