"Surreal" to describe everyday events. Your life is not a Salvador Dali painting.0

Anal leakage
I'm opposed to it as a phrase and an activity0 -
"I know right" drives me NUTS!0
-
On this site: "honestly" - because if you ask me something and in that question demand that I be honest I will almost always change my answer.
In real life: moist0 -
Deprive for one. It gets tossed around way too much. It's only deprivation if you are not getting something you need.
irregardless or irrespective.0 -
"Just sayin" or "Jus sayin" --- I've never known any other words to be so irritating.
This drives me absolutely bonkers. Yes, you are "just saying", because I heard you say it! What else could you be doing? Just moaning. Just breathing. Just whining.
I agree with the "loose" thing. LOSE is a verb. LOOSE is an adjective.
Not exactly a word, but I hate when people say "I could care less". This means you actually do have the capability of caring less. It's "I couldn't care less"- meaning, there is no possible way I could care any less than I do right now.
Conversate- WHAT? I have honestly heard people say "If you want to conversate with me just call me instead of text".
Oh, humanity.0 -
"I know right" drives me NUTS!
My easily irritated self enjoys reading these and agree w/this one, too. I absolutely hate sitting by high pitched voices repeating this phrase. Helps humble me in a way, but I do want to shout "SOUND NATURAL, PLEASE!"0 -
I hate "eat back" in reference to calories burned in exercise. It makes me think of vomit for some reason. I also despise when nouns are used as verbs when they really shouldn't be.
Journaling
facebooking
twittering
Also the opposite, when verbs are used as nouns in an awkward way.
"Do you have a solve for this problem?"
"We should lunch over this tomorrow."
One that fortunately didn't make it very far was "doing a solid". "Hey, why don't you do me a solid and bring lunch back since I can't leave my desk today."
There's nothing wrong with nouns becoming verbs. It's a natural language process. There's no "should" or "shouldn't" or "correct" or "incorrect" when it comes to language, really.0 -
No one is talking about what is correct, so much as we are talking about what gets under our skin.I hate "eat back" in reference to calories burned in exercise. It makes me think of vomit for some reason. I also despise when nouns are used as verbs when they really shouldn't be.

YES! I have hyperacusis, and when people start talking in their Minnie Mouse voice it just kills me!"I know right" drives me NUTS!

Loose.
It gets confused with "Lose" so much and it drives me crazy.
You "lose" weight.
Your tooth is "loose".

Oh and "I know RIGHT"

Sammich or samich where you mean sandwich. Just sounds ignorant.0

The word "hanged".
When someone is going to die by hanging shouldn't it be he was "hung"?
Not he was "hanged". Ugh, that is so aggravating!
No dirty minds here!0 -
"can't" the word can't isnt used in our house without repercussions.0

Literally.
"Dude, I LITERALLY just died laughing!" ... Then what are you doing posting that on facebook? Shouldn't you be in a freezer somewhere?
"I LITERALLY cannot right now" Then do us all a favor and stop!
"You are literally the most annoying person ever" Richard Simmons. Your argument is invalid forever always.

No doubt! I always thought it was an ugly word to throw around, but when a dr first used the word "retarded" in reference to my child...well...everytime I hear it used carelessly, it's like a kick to the gut.
I've been told I'm oversensitive to it, but there are times where anything less probably isn't sensitive enough.0 -
