    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, sk@nk...
    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!

    I hate when people use the word fire in the same manner. "That song is fire."

    You're lucky that you haven't. I think I've heard it at least five times today at work alone about clothes, nails and other crap on Instagram.

    Or the use of "just" when meaning "gist". I can't give you the just of the conversation, but am happy to give you the gist!

    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.

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

    Yeah..I know.. it can be very bad here too.. it depends on the situation.. either way, hate that word.

    I read a book once called Misogyny: The world’s oldest prejudice. It talked about how that word (amongst other things),was turned into something hateful and derogatory..
    I can’t say I’m a fan of the word, BUT, if you ever hear me utter it.. you’ll know I’m taking no prisoners.🙂

    This word is often (over)used in the UK, (IMO)

    Overused here too.. often young fellas/ mates.. laughing, joking.. calling each other.." ya silly **** " or something similar.
    I have used it only when I needed the very worst word I could think of.. rare though..


    I can't imagine you sweet Boo saying it 😁

    Well, we’re probably distantly related cousins, after all...🤣🤣🤣🤣

    It’s rare..admittedly..but everyone’s tolerance and patience has limits.😇😙
