I think some folks are confusing slang with dialects and colloquialisms. Yes. And not related to the OP but I cannot stand when people won’t use pronouns. “Dad came by Sunday night to watch the game.” You mean YOUR dad came by Sunday night to watch the game? I’m not your brother you stupid fugkin hick. Sounds like you have adapted to living in Flori-DUH....

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

There is a speech pattern that got cranked up about 10 years ago that is most irritating. I call it "Liberal speech" because almost all Libs were doing it. This involves repeated use of "kind of" and "sort of" and "you know."
Liberals like to be vague and it leaves all kinds of room for error when you say "kind of" and "sort of" in every other sentence. And if a Lib is really cranked up they will say "kind of" and "sort of" twice each in the same sentence. And after all, if "you know" already then they don't have to explain anything to you.
If you ever watch MSNBC or CNN you will see these speech patterns used incessantly. Very rare to see this on Fox News.

I hate when they use wheels for run fast. When my kids were in school, standing on the sidelines at their lacrosse games. Ball would be passed and someone would yell Wheels (insert kids name) Get wheels!!! Still grates me to this day.
I dunno why tho!

"Gift" is a noun. Somehow in the past 12 years it has been converted into a verb, especially among Liberals.

There is probably no word I have grown to hate more in the past few years than "build".... "My latest build". "What's your next build?" "Working on this build." "I built this rifle." "On the next gun I build..." Slapping store-bought parts together like LEGO's, and you think you're a gunsmith.... Makes me want to scream.

How could I forget this one. "Kit." Bicyclists call their matching outfits "kit." For the love of Christ and all that is holy, we wear cut-off yoga pants with a Depends sewn to the crotch. We don't need any damn help gaying up our image.

What annoys me, is ignorant internet posters who bloviate against terms that are regionalisms or colloquialisms...
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...
