I thought the same thing when I read that post but I decided to take the high road for a change just to see what it was like.

Umm... "She" called me the other night and told me "she" doesn't like people misquoting her like this. "She" was pretty livid.

Not really a word or a phrase, but the following conversational interaction makes me crazy.
Speaker 1 asks a question to which Speaker 2 responds "No" only to be followed by Speaker 1 repeating the same question again but this time in a snarky, condescending tone.
Example:
Speaker 1: "Hey, have you seen that new movie that just came out?"
Speaker 2: "No, I haven't seen that yet"
Speaker 1: "You haven't seen that movie yeat?!? :-o :| 8-| "

Right before I read this post I had the following conversation with 8-x :

:Peach: : Have you had anything to eat?

8-x : No.

:Peach: : You haven't had anything to eat yet? (The inflection got louder at the end of the phrase.)

Way high on my list is the term "junk" to describe what a guy has down below.
