    Yous or Youes? I'm not sure how it's spelled! I hear it when someone I am speaking with is referring to me. Lol

    Oh and another grammar pet peeve - when people use "I" when it should be "me" to sound more intelligent. The rule for that is if you remove the other person from the sentence, would you say "I" or "me" - for example..."This is a picture of me and Tom"...if you remove Tom, you would say, "This is a picture of me," not "This is a picture of I." Soooooo all of those pictures posted on FB or wherever that say, "Mom and I at the beach" are WRONG!!!!!! (Because you wouldn't say, "I at the beach.") Sorry - but that bugs me SO badly. Good day.
    Yes, yes, yes. I have been trying to explain this to my husband but he refuses to believe me.

    Fart
    Zit
    the "C" word

    And though I'm ok with the word "subtle", why's it got to have a "b" in it?

    Fart does sound like a disgusting word but you have to admit a well timed one is always funny

    'Veggies' bothered me for a while but now not so much.
    Now it's 'portion'. "A small portion." "I had a decent sized portion." *shudder*

    I am needle phobic and there is one word that really makes me feel physically sick, I cant even type it. It begins with V ends in N, has four letters, the other two letters are vowels. And these things carry blood around the body, seriously, the word totally freaks me out!
