7-11 2 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Do you use this phrase? I cringe every time I hear it. Don't know why. Any other phrases that perhaps you are not used to hearing get on your nerves? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 お疲れ様でした gives me the $hits though I use it for anything now... getting my change at my supermarket to the elevator lady for pushing the floor button for me after the guy next to me sneezes when somebody runs into me cuz they dont look.

Mudguts 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 "just touching base with you" So impersonal and so Americanized. Not bagging yanks at all but I cringe everytime I hear it Link to post Share on other sites

ncorrenti 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 It drives me absolutely nuts when people say "literally" all the time for the wrong reasons. E.g. "I literally had to go downstairs and tell him to shut up". Link to post Share on other sites
