Words/phrases you hate...

When people use the word "retard" as an insult. Being a mother of an intellectually disabled child it makes me want to SCREAM!

when people say "meow" instead of "now"

I haven't heard this, but it would be annoying!

"Nucular" instead of "nuclear"
-"Axing" someone a question
-"Supposably" instead of supposedly
-Can you "borrow" me some money? It's LEND, you *kitten*!
-Swag....it may be appealing now but it sure as hell doesn't pay the bills.
-"No offense"...usually said right before or right after they say something patently offensive.
-"I'm just saying"....something people say when they don't want to shut their mouth but can't add anything intelligent to the conversation.


And hearing "YOLO" makes me want to throat-punch someone. YOLO is carpe diem for stupid people, IMO.

Chalk

Can't stand saying it, looking at it, or seeing kids play with it. Gives me instant goosebumps.

Also, I'm pretty tired of everything being EPIC.

When someone over the age of 25 responds to something I said with "I know riiiiiggghht?!?!" This response should be left to teenagers where it originated. It's akin to teens in the 80's responding with "totally..." Leave the 'teen' talk where it should be!

When the annoying, prissy girls at work say "Awkward" "I was at the bar checking my phone and this guy tried to talk to me. OMG, it was so awkward...!"

Really, someone trying to talk to you at a bar was awkward? This is the bullsh*t I have to deal with sometimes...

:laugh: This! Everything is so "awkward" now. Bullsh*t, indeed. It's bullsh*t, not awkward.

Chillax.


Like, you know.

"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

"Legitimate rape"
Effin Todd Akin. Dumb @ss mother fu*ker.

I think also saying "be strong" to me has an implication that not only should the person not have any weakness through a crappy situation, but also it seems like it's a way for the person saying it to stay at an emotional distance.

If I was going through something traumatic and someone told me to "be strong" I'd say "ok" and punch them in the eyes

hahahahahaha

It could be the result of autocorrect, but "come on" written as "common" makes me see red and go a little cross-eyed.

I usually make a point of not correcting anyone's grammar or spelling, though, because it really sucks to be a dyslexic grammar nazi and I just know I'll write something wrong.

"irregardless" - it's a made up word - it's regardless, regardless of what you think
"yolo"
"dawg"
"homie"
"g-****" you fill in the blank. Don't be G in front of anything
"essentially" - my co-worker uses this CONSTANTLY when he is on the phone or telling someone how to do something "essentially you....." OMG find a new word!

I'm guilty of most of these. Like I say "coolbeans", "my bad", "bro", and "dude". It's a habit. But I can say I will never use the term YOLO - drives me crazy.

...Speaking of crazy, the term 'cray' is annoying too. My best friend says cray-cray all the time - I just want to punch her lol.

-mami
-wot (instead of WHAT, or any other time when people change letters or add letters to words that dont need them,, its just plain stupid AND annoying. HATE SLANG, period. )
-hru (and every other abbreviation you can think of!, most of them are just annoying, I mean, are you that lazy to type?, dont talk to me then)
- this! (yeah, I found I have this pet peeve in these forums)
-preggers/prego (are you really prego?, are u a tomato sauce then?? :explode: :grumble: dont know where that slang came from, but I haaaaaate it!!!)
-baby bump
-swag
-yolo
-chillax/chillaxing... you are either chilling or relaxing :explode:
-kwel instead of cool.. wtf
