Words I hate

[Furtherman]

I figure I'd post this in here because I know it was brought up on the air recently.

Words you hate. Everyone has them.

I just heard one that I can't stand:
Behoove, as in: "It would behoove you to learn..."

Sounds like a horse quartet.

Another one is Perturbed. Just say you are angry, mad, pissed off, annoyed... anything but perturbed. It sounds.... um... piggly.

I know a girl who can't stand the word Corduroy. Which I didn't like.

I figured it would behoove me to find out why that perturbed me

There's a word the Navy guys I work with like to use: "pushback". It refers to comments/instruction after submitting work up the chain of command.

I prefer to use existing words like "feedback" or "tasking".

Irregardless. People use it to sound smart, but it has quite the opposite effect.

My in-laws are from Wisconson and they drive me nuts with "ya"

- Ya, okey fine

It makes my skin crawl. Even worse is "yet". It doesn't make any sense.

- There's still some snow on the ground yet

I get violent thoughts when I hear it.

[serVice]

i have a few:
"grasp the concept," i just can't take when people say that, i just want to slap them.
adding "-ers" to anything; i know a chick that does this and it bothers me everytime she does it. i just want to shake her and say," be a fucking human and use real words."
and i hate when people mispronounce simple words because they're too damn dumb to have learned simple spelling and english; i work with a guy like this and i want to put a screwdriver in his eye everytime he does it.
Oh, and another thing he does is use wrong words in phrase like this, "six of a halfdozen of another," he actually uses that from time to time, and i always want to slap him and tell him to go back to 2nd grade, and learn simple english.

"You guys, do you know where i can find the clitoris?"

it's been mentioned, but 'proactive' might be the single worst word used by a multitude of ineffectual middle management drones, and vapid human resources twits .....

"sort of"... i absolutely hate when people use "sort of" when they're trying to describe something in order to make themselves sound more intelligent. people do this in class all the time. it just makes them sound indecisive and like they are killing time trying to think of the right word.

hey guys, I could care less about what you think.this is one of my least favorite phrases ever. fucking idiots... if you say "i could care less," then you are saying that you do care to some degree. if you say "i couldn't care less," then you're getting your point across. you're saying that you just really don't care at all. ahhhhhh!

Whatevermy boyfriend hates that word more than anything... which is great; i just say it whenever i really want to piss him off.

[The Chairman]

good examples of loathsome corporate jargon already.

"win-win" - like people would want a "win-lose"?

also: "crawl out of our silos", "outside the box"

Then there's (the correct) "for all intents and purposes."

More often than not, people say it incorrectly, such as "for all intensive purposes" or "for all intends and purposes."

Other words I just don't like are:
particularly (cause I have trouble pronouncing it), oeuvre, and the over all worst expression I hate that people use:

"quote - unquote" - really bad.
