    "Totes" instead of totally

    Loose/Lose. Is it really that hard? They are even pronounced differently.

    pecker and moist are the worst words in existence

    This exactly.
    "Moist..." There is never an appropriate time to use that word.

    Cake?

    One of my friends often says she's going to "catch up" with a guy when it's a first date/hookup. What do you have to catch up on? You've never met!

    All of these are funny :smile: I'll add women calling their boobs "the girls".

    ^^Agreed, also referring to them as puppies!

    My vote for worst word is *kitten* - it makes me want to insert screwdrivers in my ears & pluck out my eyes.

    What about sweater kittens?

    I don't like how words are now used by abbreviated versions. ie "adorbs", "presh", "ridic", etc. I notice business are doing it now, too. ie American Family Insurance calls itself "Am Fam". Why? Why? Why are we so lazy? LOL.

    Yes, axed is very annoying; how hard is it to say asked....also people mentioned back in the day, titties and boobies, all the text shortcuts bug me, although I do use them, because I hate texting takes too long to say so little, so I prefer a phone call over texting any day....also preggies, dude doesn't really bother me as long as it applies to a male, but one that nobody has mentioned that irritates the heck out of me is using the slang term "Peeps" for people that sounds so darn stupid and it always makes me think of Easter, imagine that...lol:noway:

    I hate when people insert letters (usually an R) into words that aren't there like "sherbeRt" when the word is "sherbet" or "maRscapone" for "mascarpone."

    Sweater kittens is also not acceptable. Nor are sweater's made from kittens. However, kittens in sweaters are adorable!

    text speak when you're not writing a text - actually even if you are writing a text it's annoying. Why do I have to do all the work deciphering what you've written?

    Oh and I've heard this a lot in the sandwich queue at work recently "can I get a cheese sandwich?" - what? No, you can "have" a cheese sandwich or you could ask someone to "get" one for you but if you "get" it, it means you work there.

    "At the end of the day". Mostly because of how much I hear it used. I used to rather dislike pet names as well (hun, sug, sweetie, etc), but then I moved to the south and of course, I find myself using them on people without thinking about it now. I will not cave for "ya'll" though. I. Will. Not.

    At the end of the day.......................

    I'm not being funny but..........................

    Run it up the flagpole and see how it flies (more of a corporate thing)

    The New Word - (in relation to restructuring at work)

    Yummy Mummy - arrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh! No, just no!!

    sarnies - they are SANDWICHES! What are you??? 5?

    Baby talk and referring to yourself in the third person - not acceptable EVER!!!!

    I'd love to be able to say y'all convincingly but it just doesn't work with a British accent!!
