words that annoy you
Replies

Oh and teenage grunts, that could either mean yes or no.0

I really hate "purposely". It's a clumsy derivation of "on purpose" and should really be replaced with "deliberately".0
-
ANY word if it's not pronounced properly:
warsh instead of wash
expecially instead of especially
bolth instead of both
anchilada instead of enchilada
treadmeal instead of treadmill
and the worst....
Walmarts instead of Walmart
ha ha ha ha Ditto!!!0 -
ASAP
That's not really a word, but people use (abuse) it as one. I cannot stand it. I do not mind if you spell out, as soon as possible, but if you say ASAP, it sounds like you mean "immediately" or "right this second." And I just don't respond well to that.0 -
No, contagious, guilty, rash, diarrhea, no, stop, why, 'sorry, we're closed', and no. These all annoy me.
hahaha...im guessing you dont like being told "no"
i hate hate hate when someone is telling me a story and they say "know what i mean?" after every sentence they say. i mean, am i suppose to say yes every time or something??0 -
Don't know if this counts but working in sales I get the term "you people" thrown around a lot and as soon as i hear it I become livid!0

"pop" in reference to soda

Walmarts instead of Walmart
this made me laugh! my husband says warsh lol he was sitting right here when i read it! everytime he says it is scream ITS WASH!!!! oh and the walmarts, i know a few people that say that and so when my sister and i hear it we laugh and then later when we are poking fun of them we say it and now its a damn habit! thats what we get! oh and this person also calls shreveport shrevesport! makes me crazy! with that said i need to go to Targets today! :laugh:
My husband will hear someone mispronounce a word and will use it in conversation like a joke. Most of the time though, the people he is talking to don't get the joke and think he really says the word that way. One example is "strimps" instead of shrimp or "scraw" instead of straw. I also fuss at my kids for using "my bad"...drives me crazy.0 -
ax instead of ask
and when someone says "I could care less"......it's couldn't! You couldn't care less! It takes everything I have not to correct them!
I agree! I worked with kids who had to go to college over summer before being accepted in the fall, they'd all wander up to 'ax' me a question, and I say, "No you cannot 'ax' me anything, try again!" they finalyl got it but man there were a few days I thought I was going to die.
What really bothers me is when people use 'big' words incorrectly. Nope, that's wrong. I know I can do it, but I'll ask if it is the wrong word or not. It annoys me.
However if a boy uses juxtaposition correctly...I pretty much swoon. No idea why.0 -
I have a love/hate relationship with "mind blown." I never really liked it, but once I was in an elevator with a friend and this guy said something like "My mind was completely blown when I heard that." When we walked out my friend goes, " I wonder who sucked his mind." I can't help but laugh every time I hear that phrase now.
I'm totally guilty of using at least half of the words/phrases mentioned here. Oh well, guess you can't please everyone!0 -

I here that one all day long. I like to inform the person I am speaking to that I am not aware of a You People currently working here but I would be happy to assist them.0 -
cake
coke
they both have 2 "k" noises, which i hate, and are especially annoying if the person clicks their spit while saying it. ew!0 -
when someone say "war-ter" instead of "WATER"0
-
I love to use the word irregardless. I always love when someone tries to point out that it is not a real word, so I can direct them to the dictionary. It may be archaic, but it is a word. Irregardless of whether they like it or not.0

Moist
I have never liked that word
Moist is the most horrid word on the planet.0 -

Ugh! I hate that word too. My boyfriend says it all the time just to gross me out.0 -
"Moot" as in "its a moot point"... Then it drives me crazy when people say "mute point" instead.... A lady I used to work with used the expression ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!
My HUSBAND does this ALL the time!0 -
Not gonna lie, some of these are on anal levels of petty xD
anal, another one0 -
Moist
Ointment
Plump
Squeegie (sp?)0 -
*kitten*. Why not say "vibrator"? *kitten* just sounds bad.0
-
moist and eventually. I hate both words for some reason. And I also really hate when people say 'wally world' or 'brain fart'. I hear both phrases all the time here!0
-
OMG I hate "wally-world" and I LOATHE Tar-jayy instead of Target...trying to make it sound fancy.
-_-0 -
I hate the word "yummy". I feel like it should only be used when speaking directly to someone under the age of 5.
Exactly this! ^^^^0 -
"Festive;" from September through the end of the year it crops up in every other sentence -- even more so where the author fears stepping on someone's overly sensitive holiday toes. Decorating magazines are the WORST with this. No, sweetheart your home does not look "festive"...it looks like a gang of teenagers vandalized it with gold spray paint.0

Not all *kitten* vibrate. Some hold political office.0 -
Have you ever heard people say "take for granite"? It's actually "take for granted", but I swear more people say granite which cracks me up... and my mister says "idear" and I have to mimic him every time!0

mmmmmkay instead of okay0

What's wrong with house decorating?? And what's wrong with being festive?? I don't like people who behave like scrooge, lol. If you hate Christmas, that's alright. But don't rain on my parade! :laugh:0
