    I don't know if I have room for everything people say that bugs me lol but here's a start:

    - adding "tastic" to any word such as "craptastic", "pinktastic", etc.
    - "awesomesauce"
    - "with that being said..."
    - calling details "the deets"
    - "lurve" (meaning "love")
    - "i heart this"
    - "totes" instead of totally
    - on pinterest especially: "I'm so doing this!"

    I'll probably be back with more later lol :)

    Guilty as charged but I lurve the word Lurve. :wink:

    Axe instead of ASK

    I don't like GD.

    Or people that say Pasketti instead of spaghetti

    We have a local restaurant here called P'sghetti's! Its so good though :)

    "retarded"
    "gay" when used as a pejorative.
    "I KNOW, RIGHT?!"
    "REALLY?!"
    "most favorite"
    "Textes" as plural for "text"

    I could go on and on.

    People using 'addicting' instead of 'addictive' is currently driving me insane.

    That makes me want to hit people with a shovel. Also, "all the sudden."
    One more: "Waitress" is NOT a verb.

    The word Nosh. It's the reason I can't read celebrity gossip magazines. No, I do not want to know what Jennifer Aniston "noshes" on to stay slim.

    obviously, i have issues with redundancy.

    "Hubby."
    And, on the flip side of that, "wifey."

    Hubby doesn't bother me, but Hubs makes me cringe!

    When people use the term "literally" in the wrong context. ex: When I heard that Derek broke up with Jessica, I literally died!!!

    The term "YOLO". I'm fairly certain YOLO was invented by smart people to kill off the idiots.

    "Whatever!"

    Most text speak. I usually type out things like, imo= in my opinion. Lol, I use, but I prefer "Ha ha ha!"

    I also have a cousin that I'm friends with on Facebook. I hate the term "Reading that post gave me cancer!", but in my cousin's case, I'd agree with it. No punctuation, all incorrect spelling for pretty much everything, and it's all in some form of gangster speak that is really hard to decipher... :/

    When people say "inner-net" when they mean "inTERnet" or "inner-resting" when they mean "inTEResting". "Where you at?" -_-

    "Fustrated" (hello, there's another "r" in there)
    "Just sayin'"
    "Suppose to" (it's supposed to be supposed)
    "An" (people on Facebook these days are leaving the "d" off "and"! It drives me mad)
    "Drownded" (it's "drowned")
    "Airaplane" (really?)
    "I seen"

    This one really "grinds my gears" (there is one for you); using the phrase "back slash" to describe a "forward slash".

    I am noticing it on commercials that reference various web sites too! The madness has to stop!

    / = Forward Slash

    \ = Backslash


    Additionally, misusing the word "seen" bothers me.


    That is all for now.......

    "No Problem"

    When someone says "Thank You" the appropriate response is "You Are Welcome", the inappropriate response is "No Problem". When someone asks for something... "Will you hand me the Bryers All Natural Double Fudge Ice Cream Gallon Canister" the appropriate response is "Yes", or "Certainly", or even "Um, I think you need to reconsider that choice fat *kitten*", the inappropriate response is "No Problem". I am not exactly sure when "No Problem" became a suitable replacement for polite responses, but it does irk me just a bit.

    ^^ YES.

    Also, "adorbs" for adorable... wtf? JUST SAY THE FULL WORD.

    Moist is definitely on the list.
    Belly.
    HUN.

    All ya'll. If you're from the South, fine. But if you are a true blue Yankee, you have no business using the word YA'LL.
    Besties.

    "For a woman your age" I hate it when I hear that out of a doctor's mouth! :-)

    Also.....when people put an "R" in Wash. They're gonna warsh their car, hair, clothes, dog, etc.! Or they're gonna go to "Warshington". This is probably a regional (midwest) thing, but it irritates the heck out of me.

    Yes - adorbs drives me crazy too! I've noticed people on facebook using "ab" instead of about now too - we aren't gonna have full words anymore!!

    And I agree with you on besties too - especially when adults say it!

    Excessive use of ????? or !!!!!

    People who use too many just look like they're vying for a job as a tabloid writer.

    Lack of punctuation in general is annoying. People using only lowercase letters, including in their own name. Really, how lazy can one be?

    I can't stand when people use the word "Rockstar" completely out of context. For example "You completed your food diary today, you’re a ROCKSTAR!"


    I'm so guilty of that. :blushing: I always say rockstar...

    Ok, I'll make an exception for you since we both share a hatred for FML

    will you make an exception for me since I didn't know, but honestly that's what i love about some people, that they resemble certain ones?
