Words you wish you could eliminate

I hate the use of "LOL" or "LOL'ed" (technically, it should be L'edOL ;] )
Anytime someone adds "x" into a word it doesn't go in: expecially, expresso, excetera!
"c u l8r" - it is no longer 1995, people.
I have a cousin who insists on using "kewl" because it is shorter than "cool." (I forgive her, she's only 15) (No offense intended to any 15 year olds here, but sum of u need 2 lrn how 2 spel, jus sayin)0 -
'Butthurt' is a big one because it sounds like something a catty 14-year old would say to his or her fellow classmates. "What's a matter, bro? YOU BUTTHURT?"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!
When referencing to death by hanging is the only time you are supposed to used hanged. "He was found in his cell hanged to death."
I hate that so many people use it for other things.
Words I would remove:
yolo
bogo
feels (internet thing)
internetz
any word with needlessly replaced s's with z's0 -
in addition to words, there are few cliches i'm not too fond of.
1) Slippery slope
2) Soup to nuts
3) only one way to skin a cat
4) Going to battle
5) Don't go there
Hate 'em all..................there's more that I can' think of at the moment.0 -
The word "foodie" to describe a food lover. Aghh!0

YOLO

The list pretty much goes on like this...0 -
"Totes" LOATHE ENTIRELY!0
-
Ugh, people ask me this all the time!!not a word but "where do you get your protein" SHUTUP
But yeah, the word I'm sick of is "epic". Buying yourself a new pair of shoes is not epic.. :P0 -
HA! I am laughing so hard at these comments! Good for the abs! :laugh:
How about when someone refers to a "wheel barrow" as a "wheel barrel".0 -
Seriously, what is wrong with "moist?"
And what is a YOLO anyway?
Personally, any sort of "text" abbreviations. 2 r u ur y etc. "y r u going 2 ur doc?" It takes more effort to figure out how to type that than to just type it.0 -
"Normalcy." Warren G. Harding just made that *kitten* up and now I cringe every time I hear it.0
-
"try" There is no "try", there is only "do"...
"space"--as in living. It is not a space. It is a room, jackalope...
Carry On...0 -
baby bump0

Pamper and Goddess.
I want to stab babies when I hear either.0 -
Boobies. I hate that word so much.

"Cauliflower" in regard to replacement foods (You can have my real pizza dough when you pry it out of my cold dead hands).
"Irregardless" because it's not a word.
"Literally" if you don't know how to use it properly.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.
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.
Oh, of course! Just that you said, "...when they really shouldn't be."0 -
1. "lose" because that means you can always gain it back (in terms of weight).. its best to think of "changing" your body.
2. Not just a word but a phrase, "Real women...." No... just no. I am so sick of seeing stuff like "real women have curves" etc. DRIVES ME NUTS! If you want to be comfortable in your own skin that's fine but don't degrade mine just to do so.0 -
"Journey"
smitten
Moist
NROWL4W (Well, this is technically an acronym..but still. Not the only program out there!)
Dr Oz. (This is a person. Can we eliminate people?)0 -
I plan to, you know, go to town tomorrow to, you know, find a blouse, you know. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW throughout a full conversation.
And I don't like to be answered with LOL when I pour my heart out. You don't have time to answer me???0 -
somebody tell me what is wrong with MOIST0

Phlegm. *shudders*0

Nah, don't worry about that. Drama llamas aren't my thing.
Me, I'd eliminate "nippy" in a heartbeat.0 -
Blue & waffle. Separately they are perfectly ok. Together? Just wrong.0
-

That would make this thread a lot longer (and probably a lot more dramatic).0 -
If Dr. Oz counts, I might as well throw in Nicki Minaj.0

EPIC....very over used...0
