The Sexton/Van Patten comments have never bothered me. However, at the table, I don't like all the new phrases.

Like, when did a fish become a donkey?

Other terms that I hear WAAY too often (usually from young internet kids) at the live table:

Presto
Felted
"running it twice"
"I'm donating" or "Just a donation"
"Send it"
"One time"
"I gotta see it"

Especially after someone calls 2 cold out of there, or even 1 with some suited junk that hits.

"I put you on..." any specific hand where you would play 10% of the deck the same way.

"I'd rather play against better players, they're easier to play with/more predictable" or anything along those lines.

YES! YES! I hate that one too.

I want to add some other quirks revolving around low stakes players trying to act like cool high stakes guys:

Saying "Raisy Daisy" like Sammy Farha
Having an unlit cigarette in the mouth like Sammy Farha
Wearing Sunglasses at a low limit table
Wearing a Hoodie (with hood up) at a low limit table
"I'll show you one card."

"I need to be playing against people who respect my raises, not donks who call a pot-sized bet with a gutshot."

To add to another poster's list - guys at $2/$4 tables who stare you down for two minutes. Guys who talk about what a big laydown they're making, at $2/$4 tables.
