Can you cover a class? No why!  Do you know why I hate the Chinese?  MASSSADGIE! FREE SEX! Now that I got your attention... You should quit smoking. Canada, America... same. What, do you hate America?  Why are you so fat? Do you exercise? irregardless (90 percent of the uses of 'air quotes') In Suzhou you get less of the "China exprience". da bomb I'll tell you something (and you now can't stop me) Belgian |

I've been hearing this a lot this semester and it's getting on my nerves, "As we all know, every coin has two sides" Must be in their textbook.

It's got to be in every textbook. When I was teaching IELTS they all used it . . . once. |

Never Mind (then why start something in the first place?)
Seriously (If you must ask, then you have cognitive problems)
In reality (What else is there?)
As a matter of fact (are we in a court room?)
As you Know (I don't know everything)
No (Very annoying when you really want to hear Yes)
Do you mind? (Of course I do)
Can you do me a solid? (Whenever I hear this I flash back to potty training)
Meh (are you so lazy you can't even think of a real word to say?)
But (the most misused conjunction)

It doesn't matter.
It's not you...it's me.
Know what I'm saying?
I have something to tell you.
I forgot.
Do you like China/Chinese food?
You're a nice guy but...
Sorry, we're all out.

"Hey man!"...a phrase that seems rather popular among the males here.

I hate being called " Hey man!" in the street by dorks who hang out in the groups of three or four. They never mean to speak with me but why the f*** do they say that? I have also heard people saying F word loudly to their mates in order to make me hear that they can speak English(may be)
Few more of the same sort
* Have you eaten your deeener(dinner).
* Is she your girlfriend?( No matter whoever female it is with me at that time).
* My hobby is watch tv, shopping and I very like climbing the mountain.
* Wen ( When) I will go my hometown, my maather( mother) will send me a geeft(gift).
* I come from China.( Answer to a question )
* My boyfriend is very kindly.
*I like Basketball, my favorite player is Kobe.
* Titanic is very romantic movie.( 1500 people got drowned, hardly matters! Jack and Rose had had a quickie in a car in the vessel and she got preggy) ---- Romantic!

Spoken phrases don't really bother me especially with second language learners but this IM speak that is popular in text messages and emails is annoying. Often i have no idea what the message is.
