Words/phrases you hate...

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.

when people say "meow" instead of "now"

Does this actually happen??? :laugh:

ya, for example "I want school to be over right MEOW so I can go to the beach"

This is a tribute to "Super Troopers", and I find it hilarious.

I don't

Not so funny meow is it.

It's not annoying if you're TRYING for it to annoy me

No need to get all riled up meow.

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!
