On the same theme. "We're pregnant'
No We are not. She is pregnant. My work is done here
No, "we're" not pregnant. YOU'RE pregnant. My job is done here.

Sorry HBTers, I didn't mean to rant.
Regards, GF.

My mother uses "spendy" to mean expensive. It's an Oregonian thing, and she picked it up while living there.
"Needless to say..."
If it is 'needless to say' then don't say it. If it is necessary to say it, then don't use the phrase.
Also, misuse of the word "literally."
If you use 'literally', what you say after it must be literally true. I got a health care update in the mail. It said
"We literally waded through thousands of pages of documents."
Literally waded? Really? There was a swimming pool filled with thousands of pieces of paper and you walked through it?
Or perhaps you "waded through literally thousands of pages of documents."
Or actually it's more likely "your attorneys read over a thousand pages of documents."
Yeah, it's a Pac NW thing. I grew up in the Midwest. We said pricey.
I've lived all over the country and that is the only place I've heard it commonly used .
Another regional thing is ick as in "that is icky" for something that is disgusting being pronounced "ish" in Minnesota.
"A bug just splatted on the window. Ewwww. Ish."
WTH is that? Ha!
Both grate on my a bit, just because they are different than what I heard growing up, I guess.

HoppyDaze said:"got a condom?"
Not exactly a "word or phrase", but tonight on FB, a former coworker of mine posted a question: "We're thinking we want to get a dog. Any suggestions?" Myself being the owner of (or is it owned by) a Labrador Retriever, and knowing her husband is an avid hunter - including waterfowl - I suggested a Lab immediately.
The next post? "Get a black cat! Cats are the greatest!"
Um... They're looking for a dog. Last time I checked, there was no breed of canine called "black cat". I bet you're the kind of person that hears someone is looking for a 4wd truck, and recommends a Schwinn.
I HATE " that's what she said".
