I have to agree with Diamondhead. Every-time I hear it from my sweetheart, I melt. X____x;
Oh, I got one.
A former, PR boss of mine was having an affair with a coworker, and kept referring to her as "his shortie" even though we all knew who she was.
Made me want to punch him through his skull.
When he gave me my review last year, he offered to rough anyone I wanted up for me as a sign of his gratitude for all my hard work.
And he meant that in all seriousness.![]()
I have a number of these, but there's three in particular I want to mention.
Example 1: Saying "sure" between pauses while someone is explaining an opinion or feeling.
i.e, "I tend to get angry when my parents yell at me."
"Sure, sure."
It sounds like the person is validating what I'm saying, as though I need their validation.
Example 2: Saying "that's fair" when someone is giving advice or instruction.
i.e, "You need to add a third support brace to this wall, it won't hold as is."
"Okay, that's fair."
I think it sounds a big egotistical, as though the person on the receiving end of the instruction feels they need to grant the person giving advice permission to do so.
Finally:
"Actually". Not always, but when special emphasis is placed on the word.
That is all!
