People around here used to say "beaucoup" a lot... wait Im being way to correct here, "boo koo"

Sometimes used slightly correct but still annoying: "They got bookoo stuff in that store"

Sometimes more like : "Im bookoo pissed"

There are of course many things said around here that are simply culture related...

Written stuff... it does bother me but not on here very much. I know I often just type really fast and hit ok without reading. I'll be reading back over something old and notice something I did... and I know a lot of people here do that. I would never be nit-picky enough to let that bother me in this setting. But for someone who does it constanly you wonder if you should tell them, lol.

Wait I thought of another one that is always said around here.
"Hey, girl" or more like "Hey gur" to get your attention....[:@][8|], I REALLY hate that.

I hate when you run into someone and the first thing they say is "Hi,How are ya?" Like you give a crap. Why ask it? I could say "Hi, terrible." And I bet the person would not even notice.

That would seriously piss me the hell off because from the way you're spelling it, they're not pronouncing it properly, and it looks like they're only using it semi-properly. The first example can kinda work, but the second one is just completely wrong.
The ones I really hate are the uses of gay and retarded to mean that one doesn't like something. For example, instead of something like, "This song sounds like crap," describing perhaps a song by the Village People, one might say, "This music is so gay."
NO IT"S NOT!!!! SONGS ARE NOT ALIVE, THEREFORE THEY CANNOT BE GAY!
Or we might have this,
Someone trips over his untied shoelace, and a friend remarks, "Dude, you're so retarded."
Perhaps he is retarded, but if you haven't seen the results of his IQ, you cannot determine that.

I have trouble with have a nice day too. I had a student once tell a patient in the ICU probably on his last breath to have a good one!!! You can bet she never said it again after I got done with her. Sternly but politely. Some people just can't have a nice day due to sickness, money, family and countless others problems.

Here in the South, a common phrase for putting something away in it's place, is to "put up..toys, etc."

In New England, that's what we do to fruit & veggies - "put up" preserves, or "put up" tomatoes, means you are doing your canning in the fall.

Not so much a phrase...but I hate the overuse of the word LIKE....in sentences. It's excruciating!

Grown people...saying "so like I was going to the store and like the clerk there was so rude! I like tried on a shirt and....." [:@]

Substitute the "f" word for "like" and I get really annoyed.

And, "Hey, man" dotting a conversation makes my skin crawl.

BTW, Glenda, if you are a Shure Pet dealer, that's how you spell Shure LOL. I've done it myself after emailing the upline...

means that in the south too. but like was said before almost anything that can be put away, is usually put up in the south. LOL!

i think another thing that confuses people when they move here is that any thing that is considered a soft drink is called coke. example...

Me: "You want a coke?"

My Friend: "Yeah, what do you have?"

Me: "Sprite, Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper"

My Friend: "No Coke?"

Me: "Nope"

another thing i figured out the hard way.... in the upstate of SC, if you order a tea in a restaurant it is assumed that you want a glass of sweetened ice tea. in most other places i have been, if you order a tea you better specify that you want sweet (assuming that they even have it). if it ain't sweet i usually order a coke. LOL!

LOL. I say a lot of that, because I'm obnoxious. Yes, because I'm obnoxious.

It's always in jest. I do know how to speak properly, even after being educated in some of the worst schools in the nation.

Something that's been getting on my last nerve lately "lethicin". It is NOT "lethicin", people! It's Lecithin. Say it with me. Less-i-thin. Lecithin. I work in a health food store.
