-Sex and the City-esque euphemisms for things we should be more comfortable with by now. "Vajayjay" is one I'm seeing disturbingly much in women's magazines like Marie Claire.
-Things that are wet that should not be wet, and accidentally touching them.
-Food smells that linger long after you're full. Like I cooked salmon last night, and the house smelled like salmon all night. Nasty.
-Your Facebook 25 Facts list, especially when it includes lame non-facts. Also, exaggerating a phobia or food preference so you appear unique (or whatever. quirky?) Also, flattering yourself and offering job-interview responses. Not to mention the parade of cliches that pass for facts! Here are some real examples:
24. I DO NOT eat:
Ketchup
Mustard
Collards
Yams
Potato Salad
Pig Feet
Neckbones
Bar-b-q,coleslaw
I hate mayo, but I love pesto mayo and chipotle mayo.
I STILL CLAIM TO BE A SOUTHERN BELLE THOUGH…
Neckbones??!?
25.... (I also fear water and dogs) This was at the end of a sentence about a vomit phobia. Which I can relate to! But water and dogs? Good luck surviving!
7) I do my best work under pressure. Of course you do. Boring!
17) I dislike cliche's because people are usually too self involved to really look at the phrases. Still, each day I try to be the change I wish to see in the world. The most important implication of that cliche statement is that we must have a decisive notion of what we want the world to be, and an integral understanding of how to apply that global perspective into our daily lives. Oh.
7) I like to walk barefoot outside after a summer rain. !!
2. My favorite place in the world is Italy. There's something so peaceful about wondering the cobblestone streets, eating gelato and listening to the silent history. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. I've read over a 1,000 books - ranging from Confessions of a Shopaholic to The Bell Jar. "a 1,000" isn't a construction you see often!
18. I have a glass of sweet tea with fresh strawberries, oranges, cherries, and lemons almost every single night before I go to bed. How does she round up that much fruit every night? Did she mean "or"?
15. I've always known I wanted to adopt a child one day and not because Angelina made it cool but because my heart aches for children who need love and care. Saintly!
20. Isn't technology wonderful???.
25. I will never grow up. I may get older, I may get wiser, I may get wrinkles in my face and my hair may turn gray BUT I will always laugh at a good fart joke, I will never give up my blankie, I will always choose kickball over a game of golf and I will forever love like a child. Mmm, thought-provoking. She must be pretty unique.
10. I prize honesty, loyalty, and intelligence above all else. Once you're a good friend you will always be a good friend-- If you betray these three things I probably will never full trust you again, ever. Look out: this woman's got principles!
11) But, I love to quietly make things happen. Super vague!
25. DANCE...I hope you DANCE! Live laugh love!

Some other choice 25's:
4. I brush my teeth funny.
14. Like most girls my age, I was a huge fan of New Kids on the Block!
23. My ass has a name. It's Veronica. Yes, there's a story behind it. No, it's not sexual.
1. my spirit animal is a dolphin. i'll tell you the reasons why if you really want to know. incidentally, i think discovering one's spirit animal is an important life accomplishment.
From the same girl:
21. Due to empirical observations in high school, I resolutely refuse to become involved with other people’s inter-personal drama. I’m neutral… like Switzerland. This has made my life infinitely easier both in college and grad school.
THEN:
23. I absolutely love to hear gossip; however, you’ll never hear me repeating it. But man… do I know all about your drunk escapades.
...what??
