    I'm not sure if this is true for anyone else, but there are words now that as soon as I hear them it makes me instantly discredit the person talking about them or the product they are using to sell, without even giving it a chance unfortunately. Some of these words are Green, Detox, Toxins, Organic. To me these are just some examples of words that people use with either not knowing the meaning of, or just used as a way to sell something without any proof that it is actually true. I was just wondering if anybody else had words like this?

    "free-roaming cows", "free-roaming chickens"... words/phrases used to describe animals which are slaughtered... but treated nicely before they are killed. *facepalm* this really annoys me... these claims are relatively [un]monitored and sometimes fabricated... i think it pathetic for a consumer to think, "okay, i'll buy this product because i want to sleep at night". i mean... wow, what a lovely well thought-out, empty gesture... your food is a carcass which has been killed just for you. please don't pretend to care.

    sounds harsh. i'm mean lol. sorry about that.

    "healthy"

    this adjective is so often used in an "unhealthy" way on this site and in the fitness media that it makes me stabby to hear it.

    e.g., "i need to eat more healthy." or "i only eat healthy foods."

    also, the phrase "clean eating" bothers me for the same reason.

    For Pete's sake stop screaming YOLO! you simpletons!!!

    The next person who says they have haters I'm going to ask for proof! Maybe they don't hate you, maybe you use stupid words!

    If one *more person says "tolerance" when they really mean acceptance I'm going to grab a 1885 Merriam-Webster dictionary, cut out the two words, put one in each hand and staple it as a quick reference so they learn the difference!


    I LOL'd. Literally. :wink:

    Stack/stacker. My fiance was on a bowling team and one dude was telling the guys about how for his birthday his girlfriend gave him a "stacker". Stacked woo-hoos. Her and her friend. Ewwww. Applebee's had a promotion a while back and on the commercial they were like "Stacked, Stuffed, Topped" and I wanted to vomit. All I could picture every time the commercial came on and it was on a lot, was that dude doin' a stacker...

    Yeah I would to kick start my metabolism with some raspberry ketones, and while detoxin all of the toxins from the gluten I had for lunch.

    LOL nice.

    I don't know how to pronounce raspberry ketones, but I imagine it like "KEY-tones" and I have said it a million times, but to me "The Raspberry Ketones" totally sounds like a 1980s all-girl ska group.

    As for the gluten...I do feel for people with legitimate issues with gluten. But I find most often it's a bunch of people who don't really know anything about healthy eating who stand around and say things like "Man, all of us Americans are so fat due to gluten! It's poison!" LMAO

    Also gotta agree with those who said "JOURNEY"...MFP has definitely ruined that word for me.

    I really don't care for the word " issues " when people are actually talking about problems, as in " health problems ". Issues and problems are not the same....:o).

    "Needless to say." I had a co-worker who used that expression in almost every conversation. If it's needless to say, don't say it.

    "Babysit" - when used by a parent. As in "I have to babysit the kids tonight while my wife is out." It's called PARENTING you bozo. Get with the program!

    "Enjoy" - I cringe every time wait staff say "Enjoy!" when they drop your food in front of you. Can't you think of anything else to say? Grrr....

    "Awesome sauce" - where did THAT monstrosity come from and why do I find myself saying it?

    "This will only pinch a little bit" - When they say this to you every day in the hospital they are LYING.

    I'm sure there are more.... but this will do for now. :)
