    "Hater" who came up with that, Kim Kardashian?
    "Butthurt" too many folks I know who use that expression happen to be bullies who said something nasty and then "Oh now you're all butthurt" and what does my butt have to do with getting hurt?
    "You don't want to" uh yes I do, YOU don't want me to. More traditional friends were very bossy when my husband and I were planning our wedding, and I kept hearing that expression from them.

    Karma (i prefer to dole out my own payback or just not care rather than waiting for some supposed cosmic justice.)

    That C word that rhymes with bunt..

    It is acceptable and sometimes used as a term of endearment.
    In Australia, that word has many connotations – most of which are actually positive. 


    No no no.. hate that word used good or bad.

    No no no.. hate that word used good or bad.

    As I’m sure you know, it’s a very very dirty word in the US.

    Brang

    What is this even? It sounds like onomatopoeia of a piece of rebar hitting a concrete floor.

    It is an incorrect past tense of the word bring. It’s an old fashioned slang. I know only one person of my age who still uses it so it’s just a personal annoyance.

    mouthfeel

    It just grosses me out. When I hear this word used, I imagine something unpleasant in my mouth like Silly Putty or sand.

    I agree! I don't mind so much mind people using this online in memes, just joking around, but if it starts trickling into their actual spoken vocabulary that's a little "off" to me.

    Tits. It has become more commonly used even for kids. Makes me cringe. Hearing kids use swear words still does this. Even though I chose like a sailor.

    When people use the word "jive" when they mean to use the word "jibe," as in "those two things do not jibe," meaning they do not add up or reconcile. Unless of course, you're criticizing their ability to swing or to dance or to speak to someone in an exaggerated, teasing, or misleading way, in which case the word "jive" would be correct.

    When I hear adults greeting each other using the "N" word. It just sounds ignorant and juvenile.

    Or grown women "affectionately" calling their "friends" b1tches, wh0res, [email protected]
    You may call me by my first name, my professional title (I worked hard for that degree...Dr, professor, etc), Ms/Mz.____
    OR better yet, don't call me at all!
