If you sit and think really hard about any particular word, it always starts feeling that way.
that is so true. i had to write the word 'trash' on each of about 30 boxes and by the end i was convinced i made the word up.
Ever spell and word and it just doesn't look right?? So then you try a couple more times but it comes out the same way each time, looking like gibberish.
It's not until you eventually turn to google to find out wtf is going on only to find out it was right all along.
It's like some weird brain glitch.

B*tch.
Back in my day, this was a fighting word! Now, people use it as a term of endearment!
FYI, it’s still a fighting word in my book!0 -
Groceries. It’s just an annoying word no matter how you pronounce it.
Especially when my MIL does. She says “GORshrees”1 -
"sportsball"
usually used by someone who wants to cleverly (they think) insult someone else who enjoys watching football.
like they don't have something of their own that's equally unimportant that they enjoy in their own private time.2 -

I think of it as insulting myself for being unable to understand.1 -

The two 4 letter words that start with ‘C’ that refer to male and female private parts are so offensive and unappealing to me. There are much better words to use.0

You should get ony the words you like but I love those you referenced when used correctly. They are old words with a rich history. It sounds silly to say that but it’s true.
Those other words are clinical to my ears or else they were meant to be euphemisms and soften the meaning. Makes me feel like people are afraid to say what they mean.
I also like the eff word.
I’m only commenting because I find our differences interesting and not because one is right and one is wrong. Just different. 😊3 -

Pierce Brosnan - Pierce Bronson
Al Pacino - Al Pa-SEE-no
Halle Berry - Hollyberry like it is one word, and Holly instead of Halle
Justin Bieber - Justin Beaver
A coworker today called an action/adventure actor Niam Leeson. But what annoyed me was, while she did it she was trying to sound so knowledgeable about his movies.1 -
I guess my annoying words are mostly mispronunciations and non-words.
Irregardless
Supposably
Flustrated
Functionable
Rurnt (instead of ruined)
"my bad"
"it is what it is"
"could care less"
"no problem" instead of "you're welcome"
also, when people use the words "was like" in place of a verb. I was like, then she was like, and it was like....2 -

Hearing this a lot more these days, ‘Oh my days!!’
Also, one of the worst prounounced words, especially by a lot of younger people is the word, ‘Ask.’ So often it’s pronounced ‘Aks.’1 -

keto
eco-friendly
