Words/phrases you hate...

SOOO can't stand 'It is what it is'!!! When did that even become a saying? It seems to be everywhere now and it's the WORST! Makes me shudder- like nails on a chalkboard!

"that's legit"

This drives me insane!!! I heard a bunch of high school kids on the bus trying to figure out if and what it was short for!!!

when people say "I could care less"
should be "I COULDN'T care less"
drives me crazy

No, I think 'I could care less' is correct.I know it doesn't make sense but I think it is like an idiom, or something. I think it was actually more recent change to the latter.

amazeballs.

I'm a nurse. I've seen some balls. none have ever struck me as amazing.
not the big ones, not the little ones, not the lopsided ones, not the low-slungs or the high-and-tights.. Occasionally a set might be mildly interesting, but never amazing.

'Lush' ....hate hate hate that expression!!!!

Also when you say something and people say the opposite and then go...'but whatever'. As if it doesn't bother them, but obviously it did enough for them to point it out!!!!

Amazeballs is up there for me too. Okay think thats it :-)

expecially instead of especially, axe instead of ask, suposably instead of supposedly, than in place of then, expresso instead of espresso, dethaw, pellow instead of pillow, melk instead of milk.
on the other hand i live in the north and have been told we have a cheese accent and pronounce things like college as callege, and dollar as dallar....lol i dont hear it though....

YOLO

proactive (this is SO overused at my work!)

irregardless...its regardless people...you add the "ir" and its a double negative!

using funky spelling to try to be cute, such as, "Kids Kastle" or "Kopy Kat"

writing "should of" or "would of" instead of should've or would've.

supposebly drives me insane.

My bf always says "calm down deary" when I'm annoyed - makes me a thousand times worse
My work colleague says "absolutely" at least 10 times in every telephone conversation he has. Oh and "at the end of the day" - what? at the end of the day what??? It's night time??

oh and my coworker who says "not for nothin' " every time she's b!tching about something.

ps...I love this thread..its like free therapy!

"preggers" and "hubs"

And all the others..."hubby", "wifey", "Pregs",

Or when parents call each other "mom or dad" (in front of their children and soon they start doing it even when the kids are not there)
The wife says to the husband, in front of the kids, "So, daddy, should we all go the park today?"

It creeps me out.

I cannot stand the word "moist".

You need to watch HIMYM. There is a whole episode around hating that word.

What the heck is "HIMYM"??? Damn...Did I mention how annoying random pop-culture related accronyms are?

How I Met Your Mother....its a tv show and its great. The episode about the word moist is epic! Haha jk;) It is pretty funny though.

For me, so much depends on context. Chat speak is fine for chat rooms/gaming situations, but not for what should be professional or work-related conversations and e-mails. Same for text-speak. LOL and BFF are fine in those situations, but I detest when they are spoken aloud. JUST SAY IT AND QUIT TRYING TO BE CUTE ABOUT IT!!

My biggest irritation is when signs or other publicly-displayed items have spelling or grammatical errors. Errors don't bother me as much in a situation such as this (message boards, texting, or other informal communication), but if somebody spent money to have a sign made or is putting something out there for public reading, they need to make sure it is correct. Otherwise, they just make themselves (or their business) look stupid.

I really do not like "gingers" when used as a derogatory term. My name is Ginger!! I've heard every joke you can imagine since I was a kid (gingerbread, gingersnap, gingerale, Gilligan's Island and Fred Estaire references, even had a cousin call me Gingervitis). Besides, what's wrong with someone having red hair? I always wanted to be a redhead--I think it's beautiful!

"Retarded"--as an insult = not OK. As a medical diagnosis/statement of fact = OK
"F-bombs"--not my favorite word, but sometimes it's the only word that works. I do not like it when it's used in every sentence and as every form of speech (noun, verb, and adjective).
"Early" when given as a time. Example: I ask my husband what time he wants to leave, or what time he needs to wake up. His response is "early." Dammit, I need an actual TIME! As in "7:00"! My alarm does not have an "early" setting!
