Are there any words or sayings that you just don't like or that get on your nerves?

I hate the word puss, eww so gross and vomit. I never use that, I always say sick or puke.

Yep.

"Balls." I really hate that.

B*tch.

Any derivative of baby....babe...babes. babygirl, etc.

donnybrook- who says this?

fisticuffs- another stupid word.

tumor

belly

boobs or boobies. What's wrong with "breasts."

That's about it.

"ownership". Like when people say "You have to take ownership of your problem". What is that anyway? :-5

lol I hate the word breasts, makes me think of chicken. I have the baby ones too. So many use that on their usernames. (sorry to any here that do but hate it)

"That'll work"

or as we say it in the south, "'at'll work"!

I hate that expression

When people start a sentence with, 'basically', it's so common on chat shows. Drives me crazy! :-5

the one word I really hate sounds like punt, take the p out and replace with a c.

I'm pretty easy.....but hate the word '****' its just vulgar'

punc:wah: :wah:

When people on the other end of the telephone say....'Bare with me'.....I always say what part of your clothing are you taking off?.....:-2 :-2

AND...when they tell you to 'Hold on'......I ask what shall I hold on too?.......

you know before I did my teacher training......I did the call centre thing.....and we were not under any circumstances allowed to say 'bare with me' because it implied pain and suffering :-2 .........

"Me bad."

That earns an automatic lunch detention if a student gives that retort to my question.

wan't

I know loads of people hate innit but I'm rather fond of typing it.

I don't say it but it speaks volumes in certain online conversations.

Apostrophes in plurals, that's a big pet peeve. "Should of" or "Would of" instead of "Should have" or "would have". "Irregardless"...argh. There's no such word. "I'm just happy to be here"...said on an hourly basis by a former boss. Sets my teeth on edge. I'm sure there are more; I'll think of them, no doubt.

HAHAHA! :wah: Me too!

Any rapper or dude who starts a sentence with "know whad um sayin?" Um NO! You haven't SAID anything yet.

"Whatever." That is so rude. It disregards anything the person you're talking to has said.

"Closure." Especially said after a death or a traumatic event. "So soandso can have closure. Got news for you. Sometimes there IS NO closure.

Peopel who call each other fake terms of endearment while fighting with them. This just happened to me and it made her look like a fool.

The word precious as applied to babies.

Back when I have more.

More annoying phrases than you can "shake a stick at" in The Daily Telegraph:

I'm with you! It's really bad grammar that get's my goat!

I used to have a friend that would say "Could of" instead of Could have.. he would even text it and I would cringe every time! We're not friends any more, but that wasn't the reason (at least not the main reason!) :wah:

Another pet hate is when people get your and you're the wrong way round... can't abide it! It takes everything I have not to correct it in a big red biro and say 'see me after class' each time!

I cringe at "You got it!" Can you have this on my desk at noon? "You got it!" It's so obnoxiously "can do."

Oh Oh!!!



I GOT YER BACK.

What the hell?? Are we traipsing through the Cambodian jungle or something? Be real!

nuffink bothers me:D

Will you be my best friend? :wah: I'm the same. Finally someone else who isn't illiterate. Could of is so common. Others of mine are 'aswell' and 'alot', why do so many use them as one word when they're two?

I know you meant this as a joke but you just reminded me of another one that really pees me off, when people say or type, 'nothink' when it's 'nothing'. :-5

Argh been watching something on TV and she kept saying, 'one doesn't do it like this, one does it like that' and similar. I HATE HATE HATE people using 'one' to start a sentence. It sounds so damn snooty and stuck up.

Ooh just thought of another I don't like, thankfully us brits as far as I know don't do it. I used to watch a programme years ago called, My so called Life and the whole cast near enough used to say, LIKE all the time.
