Words/Phrases that bug you!?

Oh, and saying "like" or "you know" every other word.0
-
"Panties" - I've always despised that word. It's just underwear.
"Italian" (pronounced eye-talian) - No. It's not from Eye-taly, so it's not Eye-talian.
"Melk" or "Pellow" - Though that's more of just a regional accent thing and doesn't bother me that much.
Inserting Rs into words where they don't belong, e.g., "waRsh"
One of my friends hates any variant of the word "poop". She says, "Just call it *kitten*!"
My boyfriend hates when I say "dang" or "dangit" because it reminds him of people from Flint, MI (he's from Detroit originally), and he hates Flint with a passion.0 -
Didn't read them all but it bothers me when people use the term "irregardless". Here is a tip, that's not a word.0
-
My snobbiness may come out here, but I can't stand it when people in commercials say a foreign product name wrong. Like cho-RIZZ-oh instead of cho-REETH-oh (chorizo) or jal-ah-PEE-no instead of hal-ah-PEN-yo (jalapeño).
Doesn't bother me in the slightest when friends do it, especially if they don't speak Spanish (or whatever language the word is from), but if you're getting paid to make a commercial you should do the research to get it right.0 -

When I was just beginning to learn how to spell and learning pronunciations, I would spell and say Melk, and "dat", "dis" (instead of the that and this respectively)... but my excuse was we were in the Netherlands where that was their spellings and pronunciations of the words...0 -
:laugh: Check out them kittens!0 -
"where's all the hot guys/girls"0

"At the end of the day...."0

I hate the word yummy with a passion. I also hate when anyone refers to a "tummy" or "belly" when not speaking to somebody under six years old.
Yeah, that. I hate when someone refers to their stomach as their tummy. Ugh.
And the phrases "at the end of the day" or "that said".0 -
Turnt up0
-
Oh and "same difference" annoys the crap out of me!0
-
Seen....as in "I seen this really funny movie." You didn't "seen" anything, you saw something. You may "have seen" something..."I have seen this show before". Drives me insane!0
-
"rank and file"; leaving out the infinitive "to be"...In western and central Pennsylvania, it is not uncommon to hear, "My hair needs cut"0
-
People using 'spastic' or 'retarded' to mean a normal stupid thing that someone would do. Maybe I'm oversensitive but I find it offensive. Oh and marshmellows instead of marshmallows, or pinguin instead of penguin. Not really phrases, but people talking like 5-year olds drives me mad.0

I hate it when someone refers to their 'tummy' (i.e. lower torso) as their stomach because YOUR STOMACH IS AN ORGAN0 -
This exactly.
"Moist..." There is never an appropriate time to use that word.
you dont bbq enough then. i recommend you don't watch bbq pitmasters. they say it all the time.
the ONE that irks me more than any other, and i cant believe it hasnt been said already:
om nom nom nom
man i can barely even type it out. im digusted at myself in having done so.0 -
Ain't (hate this, it just makes the speaker sounds ignorant)
Cool Beans (how did this ever come into existence?)
Women calling other women Mama
Old Lady or Old Man when referring to a wife or husband
kiddos or rug rats
Vajayjay (just grow up already)
I'm sure there are many more, but I am having a good day so this is all that comes to mind.0 -

More baffling than annoying but finding it too difficult to call someone the "master of ceremonies," we started referring to them as the MC.
Fine. But then to make a word out of that? Emcee???0 -
axe instead of ask...
if you axe someone for a sandwich it is murder
if you ask someone for a sandwich it is polite
or pop instead of soda
pop is a sound
soda is a drink0 -
Amazeballs. Whoever came up with this word needs to be stabbed with a fork.0
-
All of these are funny
I'll add women calling their boobs "the girls".
^^Agreed, also referring to them as puppies!
My vote for worst word is *kitten* - it makes me want to insert screwdrivers in my ears & pluck out my eyes.
What about sweater kittens?
Sweater kittens is also not acceptable. Nor are sweater's made from kittens. However, kittens in sweaters are adorable!
Agreed to all the above.0 -

I completely agree with you on all of these. Vajayjay just sounds like a serious VD to me. "I've got a bad case of the vajayjay, so I went to the free clinic for anti-biotics".0 -
And one last one for the road: I hate when people say,"putting on my face". What did you just say? Only drag queens and prostitutes put on their faces; I put on makeup. End of story.0
-
Addicting, used as an adjective. F*cking stop it.
'Cute' randomly inserted into sentences. Ie. 'having a cute dinner with my friends!' Unless your dinner is a puppy, it isn't 'cute'
People who randomly add extra letters to every word in a sentence 'OMMMGGGG U GUUUYYYSSS! HOWWWW HHOTTT ISSS ITTTTT TODAAAYYY?!0 -
Oh and my step sister calls vagina's Woo-Woo's. I normally love genital euphemisms but this makes me want to punch her in the face.
'Cuddles or snuggles' instant boner-killer.
Boo, mama/momma/mumma/yummy mummy/baby mumma/mumma bear/mumma tiger/mumma ocelot0 -
