Saying, "DON'T GO IN THERE FOR A WHILE" as he walks out of the bathroom.

My husband said, "LONG IN THE TOOTH." What does that even mean?

"GET ER DONE." or "LET ER BUCK."

Saying "IT IS WHAT IT IS" to dismiss an argument.

28 / THE GOOD LIFE / urbantoadmedia.com Unless you want to upset me even more, don't ever say, "YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN." Out of all the words, USING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN makes me cringe the most.

"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID." That was funny when you were in junior high.

"CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?" Stop wasting my time and ask it. Replying with, "WHATEVER" while in an argument.

"BABE" or "BOO" I don't like terms of endearment used by teenagers.

"MM-HMM." It's clear you aren't paying attention. Also I can't tell if this means yes or no.

"I'M JUST KIDDING." Don't say this after making a rude comment.

"YOU LOOK TIRED." This is always taken as an insult rather than a comment of concern.

"YOU DO YOU." Okay. I mean, I do that every day. "WE'RE HAVING BOYS NIGHT." This is just a nice way of saying you don't want me around.

The saying, "AT THE END OF THE DAY."

"YOU SOUND JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER." Do you have a death wish?

"TO PIGGY BACK ON THAT." My husband doesn't say this, but my coworker does.

"WELL YES AND NO." You can't have both obviously.

"I'M NOT LIKE MOST GUYS." If you say this, then yes you are.

"BY THE WAY." This usually comes across as condescending.

"I DON'T WANT TO STEP ON THEIR TOES." Are we on a dance floor?

"YES DEAR." You can't say this without sounding sarcastic or like you are agreeing so I will shut up.

"IT'S ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK." Of course it is. Otherwise I would keep looking .

"SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S A CHANCE." Any quote from the movie "Dumb and Dumber".

"WHEN I WAS WITH..." (insert name) Comparing me to his previous girlfriend.

"I'M COMING DOWN WITH SOMETHING." Oh here we go. Let the whining begin.

"YOU LOOK FINE." What I'm hearing is that you are impatient and will say anything so we can leave.
