Like, whatever
"Whatever" is the most annoying word or phrase in the English language, according to results of a recent poll.
Other annoying contenders include "like" and "you know what I mean."
The article got me thinking: Is there a word or phrase you hate so much that you'd drop a date because he or she says it?
At the risk of losing some faithful blog fans, I'll admit I still can't entirely stomach y'all.
(Not "you all," as in readers, but as in the term "y'all.")
Repeated use really bothers me, and I appreciated when Donald Trump recently criticized an "Apprentice" finalist for relying on the word.
I'm a y'all hater. Guilty as charged.

Married on Facebook
Do married people need their own guidelines for Facebook etiquette?
One website thinks so. TheGloss posted the do's and don'ts of being married on Facebook.
I agree with a major "don't" in the aforementioned list: women who think marriage gives them the right to overuse the term "husband" on Facebook.
Refer these post-wedding status updates as examples:
"Got home and found flowers. I love my husband!"
"Going shopping with my husband!"
"Watching TV with the hubby!"
Weigh in: Does a wedding ring make you more likely to become an "annoying" Facebook user?
(Reporter Katie McCarthy got married and retained her Facebook friends. Read her wedding blog here.)
