The Most Annoying Speech Patterns (3 Little Pigs Example)

(4 min)

it starts out great ...

[ So ....... , right ? ] . . . [ So ....... , right ? ]

but it didn't cover my biggest Pet-Peeves

the Speech fads (or tics) that bother me most are :

-- [Can you ....?] instead of [Could you ... ?]

-- [i know right ?]

-- overuse of [reach out to]

-- politicians (Nancy Pelosi) saying [Hey, look!]

And misuse of.

It has the implication of offering or asking for help -- you "reach
out" to pull a drowning person from the water. Or the drowning person
reaches out to grasp a helping hand, a thrown rope or something that
might save them.

When someone says they're reaching out to me and I'm not aware of
being in need of help, I'm suspicious.

I think it also works the other way round: a per-
son in dire distress may be reaching out to some-
one able to save them.

Yes, that too. When someone asks me to reach out to them my thought is
"Thanks for the offer, but I don't need your help just yet."
