Words You Hate and Why you hate them

[skyscraper]

What words do you hate and why?
A lot of women hate the word "cunt" but don't mind "vagina" or even "pussy" even though they all refer to the same thing. why?

I hate the word "glamor" and "glamorous" just because it is so superficial and empty and yet is often said with such admiration.

you?

[MacVittie]

I hate how, like, the word "like", like, gets put into like every sentence that college girls say in like their every day lives.

[hexy68]

the word "supple" makes me cringe for some reason

[skyscraper]

I hate how, like, the word "like", like, gets put into like every sentence that college girls say in like their every day lives.

my 8-year old daughter is forming that habit, and I am doing all I can to break her of it before it sets too deeply.

[Ritalin]

I don't like the words "smoothie" or "pasta".

I don't like it when people refer to things as "fierce".

That goes double for people who say things are "amazing"

[hammersavage]

Smorgasbord.

Just say a shitload.

[west milly Tom]

I hate the word tinkle, just really don't like it.

[jonyrotn]

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis..

I know it rolls off the tongue and all but I hate the way it's over used by Americas youth..

I see by your sigpic that you don't mind "cunt".

[JAndreaNineSixorz]

I see by your sigpic that you don't mind "cunt".

I love that word. I don't really like "vagina" though. Or "panties."

I think I got the black lung pop.

[RoseBlood]

I'm never speaking again :flush:

[dino_electropolis]

Donk.


Because it means the end of the best part of my workday.

[MacVittie]

I hate when people needlessly shorten words, like "Most Def" (not to be confused with Mos Def), "Obvi", "Delish", or even "Comfy".

[foodcourtdruide]

I hate when people call tomato sauce gravy. You're having "gravy" on top of your pasta? Ohhhh, you're so American-Italian! I grew up in Queens and we ALWAYS called it Sauce.

[Kevin]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... Need i explain?

[JAndreaNineSixorz]

MERMAN!!!

[meanmrbill]

Being from western PA words like yinz and pop are endlessly irritating.

[LaBoob]

Poop

don't be like that.
hate the word, not the speaker.:clap:

[Misteriosa]

I hate how, like, the word "like", like, gets put into like every sentence that college girls say in like their every day lives.

i had a class where a girl said that for every other word when having in-class discussion.it got to the point where i couldnt follow what she was saying (which wasnt much at all). i finally had enough of her and said "why dont you think about your statement before you speak so you can edit all the "likes" out of it"

my teach gave me extra credit for that :o

[Misteriosa]

i DETEST the word "conversate". the proper word is "converse" :furious:

you are not conversating, you swine! you are conversing!!

back formation, FTL!!!

:furious: :furious: :furious: :furious:

[ladyface]

I dislike the familiar misuse of the term legend. It upsets my equilibrium.

[boosterp]

I will second glamor and the short phrase "pop star" damn do those words drive me up a wall.

[skyscraper]

I dislike the familiar misuse of the term legend. It upsets my equilibrium.

do you mean that too many common events or people are referred to as "legends"?
so you don't mind the word, just its over-usage.

[Misteriosa]

I will second glamor and the short phrase "pop star" damn do those words drive me up a wall.

i am also not a fan of clipped celebrity names or combining of celebrity couple names:

ScarJo, LiLo, JLo, etc.

brangelina, bennifer, etc

[Freakshow]

I hate the word button. I will probably not be able to see the Brad Pitt movie because of it.

[keithy_19]

I hate when people needlessly shorten words, like "Most Def" (not to be confused with Mos Def), "Obvi", "Delish", or even "Comfy".

I used to be very into a girl back during high school who did this. My feelings for her ended kind of abruptley and I'm pretty sure the fact that I had to add things onto everything she said was part of it.

[SouthSideJohnny]

Diva - it's overused and is usually applied to someone with no talent who thinks she has talent

[LuisMoreno]

The word "fresh" always bothers me... as in "This is very fresh bread..." or "Here is a fresh batch of muffins...." it makes me think of the exact opposite of "fresh" for some reason... people should just stop using that word....:wacko:

I don't like the word random because it gets overused as a snarky compliment by a group of girls I know (" Uh. That was random" and "I love Phoebe on Friends because she's totally random").
I haaaaate it!!!

[drjoek]

Why do people insist on saying the word height. "Heigth"?

[Friday]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... Need i explain?

you spelled it wrong, dumbass.

[boosterp]

you spelled it wrong, dumbass.

Face! :lol:

[PapaBear]

Decimated. The original meaning ended with the death of 10% of an army. Now, the meaning has been changed to be used when an army (or anything else) is almost completely wiped out.

[Dude!]

i hate when talking heads use the noun
tank
as a verb

the market is tanking
hillary's campaign tanked

wrong wrong wrong

[Thebazile78]

Why do people insist on saying the word height. "Heigth"?

Is that like people who insist on pronouncing the word "deaf" as "death" ? 'Cause that drove me out of my mind when I was a kid.

I mean, come ON, they're mispronouncing an inter-dental fricative as a labio-dental fricative. How fucking hard is it to hear the difference?

[PapaBear]

Being from western PA words like yinz and pop are endlessly irritating.
You know those annoying white oval stickers that copy the European ones with stuff like "OBX" and "WOOF"? I saw a "YINZ" one yesterday. On an SUV with West Virginia tags!:wallbash:

[boosterp]

Medical professionals that say swollen lymph nodes instead of lymphadnopathy.

[JAndreaNineSixorz]

Why do people insist on saying the word height. "Heigth"?

They're the same people that say "acrost."

[sailor]

facetious. the word itself is ok, but so many people throw it out there like "look, this is the one big word i know... look at me." ugh.

[JAndreaNineSixorz]

Medical professionals that say swollen lymph nodes instead of lymphadnopathy.

Wut about LYMPHOMA? That's what they always say on House, and it's NEVER EVER LYMPHOMA!

[JAndreaNineSixorz]

I hate that word too because it just makes me think of "feces."

drownded. As in, even more past tense for drowned?

Used to hear it in WV.

Well geez louise! I'm really never speaking again. I think I've used 75% of the words mentioned in this thread on a semi-regular basis. I also recall using the word facetious at least 2 times here this past week, but don't hold that against me cause I probably used it in the wrong context. I know I'm not well read.. thanks alot sailor :flush:

I shouldn't say this, because it's about someone I care about, but... I have a very good friend from WV. Years ago, she always used "all" in texts and emails for "Aw" and "oh". I kept correcting her, but she kept doing it. Eventually, she finally dropped "all". She says "aw" to express sympathy, but she also uses instead of "oh". She sent me a text yesterday saying her "enternet" was down.:wallbash:

Yeah... I was a "good drawer", not like the thing with handles you keep socks in, like draw-er, runner, skier, driver, etc.

Ooooooof. My roommate in college always used to say "yesterday night" instead of "last night." That drove me up the wall.

Thats odd to me. Does fresh baked bother you as much? Because new muffins sounds weird.

[jennysmurf]

I hate the word "swum." I also hate when people say "should've went" instead of should've gone.

[Snoogans]

uber so gay


pet peeve ITS NOT A PET PEEVE. ITS SOMETHING THAT PISSES YOU OFF. stop tryin to be fuckin fancy and just be a person

[sailor]

pet peeve is fancy? really?

[Coach]

Being from western PA words like yinz and pop are endlessly irritating.

Being from Eastern Pa. words like: Hainna(always at the end of a sentance), Ja'eat(one word sentance: Ja'eat?.....No,..D'jew?), Gnocci (you have to be here to hear the abomination of the pronunciations).

[Reynolds]

I used to be very into a girl back during high school who did this. My feelings for her ended kind of abruptley and I'm pretty sure the fact that I had to add things onto everything she said was part of it.

I hate the word "abruptley".

Now that I think of it, I'm not a big fan of the correct spelling of the word either.

[TheGameHHH]

its not even a fucking word, but ill cut the next persons dick off that uses the phrase "pwned". it might be the gayest phrase ever invented.

I've never thought about it, but I agree, that's annoying.

I don't really like "vagina" though. Or "panties."

You take that back.

[Dougie Brootal]

dammit!

[skyscraper]

Why do people insist on saying the word height. "Heigth"?

"height" is correct, not "heighth." I hear that all the time as an architect; people talk about "length, width, and heighth" and it's like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

[skyscraper]

I've never thought about it, but I agree, that's annoying.



You take that back.

I think she just hates the words "vagina" and "panties", not the actual items.

[Thebazile78]

They're the same people that say "acrost."

I have another one, but I'll get Ani-ed for it.

drownded. As in, even more past tense for drowned?

Used to hear it in WV.

I haven't heard that since grade school.

[Coach_Mac]

I think she just hates the words "vagina" and "panties", not the actual items.

That's still uncalled for.

[Ritalin]

Just the word "the who".

[sarsbusdriver]

DOILY

I got skeeved out just looking up the word to know how to spell it. YUCK.

[JAndreaNineSixorz]

Being from Eastern Pa. words like: Hainna(always at the end of a sentance), Ja'eat(one word sentance: Ja'eat?.....No,..D'jew?), Gnocci (you have to be here to hear the abomination of the pronunciations).

Mmmm I love NYO-KEE!

I hate when people talk about a gyro sandwich but pronounce it GY-RO like GYROSCOPE. My grandma lives in Eastern PA and everyone pronounces it GY-RO there. I always bitch about it and she always says "that's just how people pronounce it here," as if it's a fucking accent or something. I explained to her that it's a Greek food and they created the word, but she just thinks it translates as GY-RO. It makes me crazy!

That's still uncalled for.

But I LOVE the word "cunt!"

[TooLowBrow]

'probably'

i dont hate the word 'probably' all the time

but i started hating when people say 'probab-lee'

i even catch myself doing it and it drives me nuts

i think people use it to make it sound like theyre really thinking about their reply

'do you think you could eat a gallon of ice cream?'

'probab...lee'

[MAGADIR]

when it is pronounced -'innur estin'. . that is my rather pathetic first posting ..!

[monkfish]

"Ur" and "coz" because it's plain old lazy.

[MAGADIR]

' i just seen him'', & on news- at scene of death, or violence- family members are asked 'how do you feel now?' must BE a word for that the interviewed neighbors of newly minted rapist/pedoph./killer always seem to describe said person as : the nicest guy!, so : quiet/helpful/religious/regular looking , we never would have thought..

[keithy_19]

I think that people use it far too much. I want to be a writer. I write. I deal with a lot of people who act in plays and such. We're all artists.

No we're not. I put down words and hope they make a coherent sentence. You go and pretend to be someone you're not.

There are some writers and some actors who definately deserve the term. But it seems so overdone.

[ecobag2]

any word or phrase that may mean something else is abhorrent.

Think of the english language and how many dual meanings we have ...

you can cut something

or cut something esle - like an album

or cut a paper heart

or ...

it goes on and on - we don't even know what the fuck we're talking about anymore... so many dual meanings. even some words have 15 meanings... total break down of communication.

[silks]

"Photoshop" is NOT a verb. You digitally manipulate or retouch images, you do not "Photoshop" them... you can use Photoshop as a tool, but it is not an action.

Also, people that call Acrobat "Adobe" should be strung up by their thumbs.

I heard that the English word with the largest number of multiple means is the word "set". There are over 200 different meanings. I think English is great for a variation of this idea though, because it is an evolving language and eventually, if the US survives this economic catastrophe we are in, and if we regain our world popularity as a cool place to live and work etc, eventually all languages will be incorporated into "English". How many foreign words do you use daily? Tons. If you call someone "amigo", you know it means "friend", and you also know it is a Spanish word.

"My album drops"


"Wow, just wow"
Orally it's fine, provided you're actually at a loss for words, but there is no excuse to ever type this.


"Seriously?"
In situations where there is no possibility of it not being serious. For example, if you get rear-ended in a parking lot and you get out and say, "Seriously? Did you seriously just hit my fucking car?"

I typed the "wow, just wow" under the picture of the fat guy in a wolverine suit. I wanted to convey my disbelief, but I couldn't think of anything. I think I also typed "really?" in the same usage as your "seriously?" pet peeve. I must really irritate you.

About a month ago I was involved in an accident where I pulled to the side of the road beause I stopped at a green that had just turned from red to green when I heard sirens behind me. The lady behind me, however, decided to speed up. Cop saw everything and I was completely right in how I handled the situation.

I wasn't mad at the lady. It was the kind of day where I just didn't really care. So my words after she hit me was an elongated 'ok'.

I still stand by my feelings on the words artist and art. Hate them.

[FatassTitePants]

Frankly.

I feel like when somebody says that word, they are about to lie to me. Can't stand it.

[DOHO@HOME]

Sorry-I think it's just to easy to use this word when you don't always mean it.

[StanUpshaw]

It's so ingrained in your psyche that you don't even notice it.

Every post is "chauvinist this" and "McCreeperton that".
