Kaplooey Blog! - Phrases That Annoy the Heck out of Me

Certain phrases have crept into usage in the last twenty five years or so that annoy the heck out of me. Here's a list.

That said / That being said / Having said all that - whatever happened to However, or So?

Not! / Psych! - these are just plain annoying.

My bad - okay, maybe I'm culturally biased, but the bad grammar here just really p***es me off.

Where it's at / Where are you at - Thou shalt not end a sentence with a preposition. Either leave off the at, or change the word to Located / Standing / sitting?

I'm sure I'm not politically correct in accepting all of today's speech patterns, but I was taught to always strive for perfect grammar, both at home and at school, so when I hear these phrases in a business meeting, sheesh.
