Ooh! Ooh! I don't know if you would call it a word/phrase, but hyphonited last names, to me, seem gay!  Unless you're Hispanic, I think it's dumb for women to refuse to drop their last name. Now this isn't a sexist thing, so don't go there. I just think that if you love someone enough to marry them, then you should be able to take there name and leave your maiden name behind. I don't think that keeping your name achieves anything but getting your child beaten up at school.  I saw someone with a triple hyponated name once, no sh!t  . I just wanted to [censored] slap her.

DanLeCompte: One that I don't understand is when people talk about something that needs to be done but they leave out the 'to be' and just say 'My car needs cleaned' or 'That needs fixed.' The only time it should be used is in the following context: My face needs kicked for making up some new grammar style. CLASSVT: Last one; TEENAGERS WHO ACT GANGSTA' ! They ALL need shoved into lockers, or worse. Uh oh....looks like someone's going to get their face kicked in. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! How do you put someones old reply into yours without copying and pasting?

The Bostonian accent! Some of my friends have it pretty bad (and go figure they're all related to one another, gotta love my hometown). One of them pronounces the "r" so strongly that we make fun of him for it every time.
Stazi, I've never heard "axe" instead of "ask." Where do you live?
I've said this one before, but I can't stand when people write "it's" in place of "its".
"IT'S" is the contraction for "IT IS." There is NO other meaning. If you substitute "it is" into the sentence and it sounds stupid, then in that case you should use the possessive "its."
(for example: the dog knows it's place, the dog knows it is place)

Your joking right? It's so-called "ebonics".
I live outside of Detroit so I hear it a LOT!
PS no offense to African-Americans, but "ebonics" are a cop-out for being too lazy to speak proper English IMHO.

RPM'S=RevolutionS- Per - MinuteS?????
its already plural people!
other than that, like, i umm, could care les how, uhh, y'all like talk and stuff, ya know, shizzle?
Just to be the devil's advocate, is something turning at 1 revolutions per minute or is it turning at 1 revolution per minute? I have heard the argument before and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer regarding the pluralizing of acronyms. Does it depend on the position of the plural?
