Haha that word for some reason always makes me think of this old friend who once asked me if there was a good place to buy a new powerband. He thought there was a physical band in the engine that he could replace. "Tints" is something he would say

"Took delivery"...sounds a bit pompous to me.

Lo! Yup. Just like "picked up this BMW M3 yesterday ...", like you would pick up a gallon of milk on your way home from work. You DO NOT just casually "pick up" an M3. You order it, anticipate every step of the process and finally wait for the glorious day when you can finally drive it home! It's not a loaf of bread!

"I was speeding and got caught. Cops are jerks."

Time and again people post about their latest ticket but somehow it is the LEO who is wrong for doing his/her job. Instead of hating on the police you should hate on your inability to discern between safe/appropriate times and places to drive at those speeds. If not that then the fact that you haven't paid Valentine for their hardware!

"Almost zero turbo lag." Either there's a lag or there's no lag.
Why not just say there's a little bit of turbo lag?

"Why don't/Shouldn't my parents..."

"NO WORRIES"

What a lame phase. I know this might offend the Aussies but it really pisses me off when someone says that to me.

1. When you're instructed to search. Personally, I HAVE searched, that's why I'm asking!

2. When you revive an old but relevant thread (e.g. a common problem but you have tried all diagnostic steps and still doesn't work), but people complain about it... But when you create a new thread about a certain development of the problem, you'd get bounced back to being told to search for the problem, going back to #1.

3. Like another member said, I am sick of getting told "Sandstorm" for songs. I don't understand how I'm not sick of We Will Rock You or other overplayed songs, but that song gets under my skin.

4. "FIRST!!!!!" as if anybody gives a damn that you're the first to respond anyway.

5. I can't stand it when people mess up the following:
"your" (belonging to you) and "you're" (short for you are);
"brakes" (device for slowing down a machine) and "breaks" (verb form of caused to separate or ruin); and
"lose" (deprived of something) and "loose" (opposite of tight).

I saw it, just clarifying it for the idiots among us.

Then someone responds with "firstly, secondly and thirdly" when making points. "First, second and third" will do the trick just fine and you don't sound prissy

I thought the thread was about commonly used phrases you hate most, not the spelling mistakes you hate.

When people say "It costed $500." It's COST.

I don't mind annoying phrases, but some of topics are getting really old.....

"DCT vs 6MT"
"335i w/ mod vs E9x M3"
"f8x M3/4 vs E9x M3 w/ SS"
"I got into an accident, and will it have less resale value?"
"GTR vs Any vehicles"
"I got a speeding ticket, and I wanna hire a traffic attorney"
