    "pop" in reference to soda
    "crick" instead of creek

    I don't like words that end in a -eded sound when I have to say the word "it" afterwards. Like "I took the eggplant and breaded it" For some reason, I get really hung up and end up saying "breadedededed ed it" Makes me angry :( The worst is "edited it" Terrible phrase!

    When you purchase something in a store and say thank you. The sales person says no problem.

    I hate the words breast, penis, vagina and tits. I'd rather say boobs, junk, crotch, or private parts lol. I also hate the words pubic, moist, *****, diarhea (sp?), pus, succulent, regurgitate, piss, the f word, mutt(mixed breed dog), b word, and other sexually derogatory words!! Apparently I could never read a romance novel and medical text books can make me gag! Also curdle and puffy!! Wow I could go on...

    Any word that is blatantly misspelled is annoying to me. I'm not a champiun speller or anything (hehe!) but it just annoys me.

    Also, I hate expressions like, 'Wassup', or 'Dude', or 'ah man!'...

    I really hate "purposely". It's a clumsy derivation of "on purpose" and should really be replaced with "deliberately".

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
