Common sayings that are wrong or butchered

"When ever", when "when" is what is meant. For example, "When ever y'all get around to it". Really means "When you get around to it".

"Y'all" or even "You all", and I lived down south for many years, but could never wrap my head around the use of "Y'all".

"Whatever"

"It is, what it is" Really? Why not "it isn't what it isn't"?

"It is, what it is"
If I ever go off the deep end, it's because I have heard that comment one time too many. I was talking to my cousin a few years ago and he must have used the phrase AT LEAST 10 times in half that many minutes.

Or perhaps I should have written

he must have used the phrase AT LEAST 10 times in, Like, half that many minutes
:D

"Perfect" seems to be a word that's starting to get used a lot to signal agreement or understanding.
