"pwned," "pwnt," "pwn," etc.
Now this mostly just bothers me when people say it in normal conversation. Typed, it does not induce the rage of a mad yeti.
Any internet acronym spoken aloud turns me into a shitty dude. Most of my friend's friends think I'm a huge asshole because I have no hesitation in asking them to stop. If they don't I exit the conversation and at times I've lost my patience and made fun of a few people.
Is it really that hard to talk like an intelligible fucking person. Why are these stupid phrases so popular?

"the point is, [something that is definitely not the point, you just don't want to address the fact that you have no rebuttal]."
'No offense' drives me mad. People who try to speak in a pleasant voice but are really trying to tell you off are just as bad or worse. Stop trying to pretend to be nice if you're being a dick.
It is basically like saying "I'm going to say something offensive/racist right now but don't judge me for it"
No offence, but your mother looks like a giant anthropomorphic ass and she smells like one too
Hey dude wait what, I said no offence, stop getting all offended jeez
Also people who can't tell the difference between their, there and they're.
When I was a kid, my grandma called lunch dinner and dinner supper. It bugged me. But people really need to chill the hell out about regional dialects and pronunciations.

Well, it has it's uses. When you want to point something out to someone, which they might take up as an attack.
"No offense, but that shirt is ugly as hell."

"No offense" has its place, as does "With all due respect."
"I'm not racist, but..." is completely retarded. If you're around people who don't know you well enough to know you're not a racist, abstain from saying things that could be construed as racist until they know you well enough to know that's not what you mean.

There are more polite ways to criticize though. I can see it in a situation with friends, maybe, but if you're talking to a stranger or an acquaintance either be polite or be a dick, just don't be a dick while pretending to be polite.

No offence, but "it's" means "it is".
And fair point, but anyone who says stuff like that to me would have to be someone I know and understand in the first place, making it a pretty meaningless insertion
I'm not racist, but 3Run is definitely sub-human and his culture is inferior to our own
You are aware that I am Aryan, right?

"[Something] doesn't [something something something]. At all."
Yeah, ok. Thanks for clarifying that you really meant what you said. That really makes me respect it, just like i do the 4000 other people who end all their posts with those two words.

or maybe you should fucking man up and learn to take some constructive criticism from someone who's sincerely telling you that they're not attacking you but no you gotta be a big baby and assume they're just being passive aggressive

Yeah but... some people who use it are being passive aggressive
It's often a pointless little insert (yes, that's what she said etc.) because anyone who talks to me about that shit should have some faith that I can recognise criticism from personal attacks
... and on the other hand, if you're a complete stranger, what the fuck are you doing commenting on my shirt anyway

You guys have it completely backwards. The only reason people feel a need to add "No offense," to a comment is precisely because there are so many people out there that get bent out of shape should anyone dare to offer their unsolicited opinion.
"No offense, but you probably shouldn't be giving your two year old a shot of bourbon."
"DON'T TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY CHILD YOU PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE PIECE OF SHIT."
It's not what people say but how they say it that bothers me. Something that doesn't translate too well into text based interactions. More often than not the people I see who use 'no offense' use it as some sort of social shield when they are offering criticism that isn't constructive.

Those are the worst people in the history of the world.
I don't think it's possible to hate someone more than I hate you at this moment in time.

I know some guys would put up with that kinda thing, but frankly, I can't imagine why.
Ugh. This quote tree is worse than the holocaust.
Also people who think that inserting periods randomly adds impact rather than making them look a bit thick
No offense Run, but you're dumb.
Listen to what you're saying. Do you not realize that it is precisely the opposite of what you mean?

Being nice and trying to help you avoiding looking like a fool in public?
They mean "isn't it", "nothing", "something" and "water", respectively.
It's for the best
"No offense, but you probably shouldn't be giving your two year old a shot of bourbon."
"DON'T TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY CHILD YOU PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE PIECE OF SHIT."
I have said nothing offensively stupid today, tho.
And we know it goes way "furver" than just those few.
The word "little" has nothing resembling a K sound in it. Just cut it out. If you must, just do the lazy-man's T - "li' 'ul"
