There are a few phrases that I hear several times a day that piss me off. One is "a whole nuther". For example, "Since we are out of whiskey, we could drink this can of gasoline, but that would cause a whole nuther set of problems". A whole nuther? Really? No one should ever say this, so I am going to try really hard to never say it again. The other one is "Everything except for". For example, "Everything is absolutely 100% perfectly normal, except I am bleeding from the eyes". I hear this all the time. People say shit like this all day. Wouldn't it be a lot better to say something along the lines of, "Short of my eyes bleeding, everything is normal" or "My eyes are bleeding, but everything else is normal". Saying everything then having an exception seems contradictory and stupid.
