    I generally seem to be more disturbed by phrases...

    push present
    furkid
    doggie mom/dad
    "TTC" (trying to conceive is fine)
    yummy mummy
    MILF

    But mostly, I just can't stand bad spelling and mispronunciation. My spelling pet peeve is 'defiantly' instead of definitely. When people say 'chipoltay' instead of chipotle I come unhinged.

    Why do so many woman hate the C word? They don't have a problem with the B word. As long as it's not directed at me, I don't care and I don't see why so many woman get upset at the mere mention of the word. The P word is okay to some but even hint that you might say the C word and they are ready to throw down even if it's not directed at them!

    Because it's an ugly word that describes a beautiful part of the female anatomy.

    I personally like and use the "C" word when it fits, which isn't often.

    When people use the word mines. As in that is not yours, it's mines. uhhh.
    Ha! My 9 year old stepson uses that word constantly... and now my 4 year old is picking it up.... It makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck!

    For mispoken phrases... when instead of saying " I was just thinking out loud" a person says " I was just talking out loud" ... well, no sh**... talking is typically an out loud sort of thing!

    Unkempt

    No freaking reason for that m to be in there. She kept her hair nice. Her hair was unkept. Grrrrr.......

    Yes, the " m " should be there because it comes from the old english " kemben ".....:o)

    A past friend of mine used 'vajayjay' and it took me ten minutes into the conversation for me to understand what she was referring to. Cripes, its a vagina. Get over it.

    Lots of cool verbiage here :glasses:

    For today, I'll go with "mastitis". Didn't care to see that outside of babycenter.
