"Have a nice day!" A moronic American saying now spreading to all countries and being translated into the local languages.
Wiki says "Have a nice day" first appeared in the 1948 film A Letter to Three Wives. Seems a bit improbable but I cannot prove otherwise.
Wiki also says "The phrase is generally not used in Europe, as some find it artificial or even offensive." Unfortunately it is spreading there like a virus and, yes, it is extremely offensive.

"No, I'm good". There was even a tv commercial a few months back with somebody saying "No, I'm good".

Obituary or Birthday Thread Some yahoo is bound to pop up and say: "Sorry but, I never liked them.. blahblahblah.." and end with either "r.i.p. and condolences to their families" OR "happy birthday". That "sorry" sure makes the poorly timed put-downs ok! (not)
Grrrrr ! I don't know, I can kind of see why that is said. Often times when somebody dies, everybody has a 100% positive opinion about them even if they truly didn't give a rat's ass about them when they were alive. To me that seems both fake and pointless, so adding "I never liked them" to the "R.I.P. and condolences to their families" makes it less phony.

someguyPoint being that the body is often hardly cold or the birthday toast has not even been given. They start their notes with the "I never liked them " and the RIP is tacked on as an afterthought. It's a time and place thing.
I have to wonder, do these people go to offline funerals or parties and diss the guest of honor ? Do they say "Oh, your brother died? I never liked him! My condolences." In some cases, I can see it happening just that way. Don't like a performer Start a thread, don't rain on someone else's tribute thread. That's what I am saying.

I have no idea what SJ refers to, unless it is South Jersey. Social justice.

Politically correct
Misused, to be an insult. I once said something to someone, like "I don't like when you use racial slurs and profanity all the time" and was answered "oh you are politically correct"

I have discovered that trolls and stalkers hate it when you end a note by saying: Have a Nice Day ! If you add a to the farewell, it really rings their chimes !
Best is Have A Nice Day, Y'all !
Aside from its use as a fool repellant, I like the expression but do not normally use it myself irl.

I can't stand people who can't spell or spell wrong on purpose.
Like when someone tells me "your welcome" then blames auto correct on their phone
OR WORSE
People who use
UR for your or you're R for are or our U for You 2 for too or to ppl for people plz or pls for please
or when they use a Z or a dollar sign where an S belongs.
When someone uses U for You, I counter-annoy them by spelling you as Why-Oh-You
and I hate it when people with unlimited texts blame the character limit as their reason for spelling incorrectly.

"Do the math". Like I'm too stupid to understand what they were just saying. No, I'm not quite as slow as you'd like to think. Usually I'm wondering why they thought I needed to be told whatever they just said.

When a couple does any show of affection, from a peck on the cheek, to a full PDA, some wag yells "Get a room!"

Ameriphobes who insist on adding some negativity to any comment they make about anything American or America related.
They hate American films and yet watch them, apparently for the joy of telling the world how every other nation's films are superior. Ditto for books, food, technology etc.
Basically they are sleep inducing individuals who reveal more about themselves than they could even begin to imagine.

"what it is, is..."
"it is what it is"
"a television event that you won't want to miss"
"did you find everything ok?" No, I really had to hunt for the peanut butter.
#YOLO
closure
"back, back, back" (Chris Berman calling the HR Derby)
"he gone!" (Hawk Harrelson calling a strikeout of the White Sox opponents)
anything that comes out of John Sterling's mouth
anything that comes out of Kanye West's mouth.

The word "literally" (which 9 times out of 10 is being used incorrectly). Drives. Me. Nuts.

Surely, London, you've also seen the Wiki's statement that the phrase originated from Layamon's Brut, King Horn, and of course Chaucer, at least according to the OED. Oh, and--in case you don't understand--we "moronic" Americans do have the ability to read, you know.

This one depends entirely on delivery. When people refer to women as "females" or "that female" it is just never complimentary.

"How does that make you feel?"
Especially when people say it who aren't therapists!
