From the people who brought you "Celebrities Who Annoy Me" and "There ought to be a Law Against That" here comes another chance to vent.......... WORDS THAT ANNOY ME 1. "invite" (instead of invitation) 2. "conversate" (instead of conversation) 3. "quickness" (for the longest I thought that wasn't even a word |

I HATE when someone askes me what my problem is when I'm not acting mad or anything! Because that just pisses me off and then I DO have a problem!

Irregardless....HATE that. Not a word, people. Dude...when they start a sentence with it, like addressing me as "dude." For example, "Dude, I don't know what they were thinking." This isn't just a word....but when I hear someone say, "I could care less" when they mean "I couldn't care less."  Sammich for sandwich. For having an English degree, I don't mind hearing "ain't"...in fact, I use it, depending on who I am talking to. (Depending on to WHOM I am talking.  Just kidding.) I secretly hope I'm not being a bad influence on my daughter....she knows I use it mostly in jest. (I think I picked it up, in part, from the Temps movie. "That ain't never gonna happen." Along with y'all. I was born in Texas and have a love for the South and all things Southern.... and I use y'all quite a bit....mostly because it's quick and convenient. ;D) Peach |

I hate when people drop the possessive "s" in a sentence: I'm going to my "mother" house - instead of "mother's house I bought my "sister" car - instead of "sister's" car And the all time favorite: That's my "baby" daddy - instead of my "baby's" daddy I hate when people do that - with the "quickness" -  @ Ivory ......... ;D |

Words I hate!!
SH**
F*** or F***ing
The "n" word
"Loveded" instead of "loved"
Misuse of the word "skinny"...."Skinny" is supposed to mean extremely thin or underweight, not slim and average weight!
"Brukfuss" instead of "breakfast".
"Urnj" instead of "orange".

if people acted right there wouldn't be a need to say baby daddy or baby's daddy. they would say that's my husband and the father of our child!

"Brukfuss" instead of "breakfast". My sister and I say this just to be funny... breffuss. We also like to say "greezy" (z sound) instead of "greasy" (s sound) just to be obnoxious. ;D Something about greezy that just sounds....well....greezier. My dad used to have some annoying mispronunciations, although I miss them now. He'd say "Melk" for milk, MUSHmelon for muskmelon.... a sophomore was a SOUTHmore.... Vietnam was V.F. Nam. Never understood that one...... Peach |

I've heard divorced people say that, too.
It's not really a word, but these kids I'm working with now have started saying, "Mmkay." It's beyond annoying.

Sukka, you said "gay" in a post within the last 24 hours, I SWEAR you did.  Irregardless....HATE that. Not a word, people.
Yeah, I think I'm guilty of that one BIG time. Words I hate!!
SH**
F*** or F***ing
You wouldn't last around me for five minutes. Or I wouldn't last around you. I used to go 'round and 'round with this lady I worked with about which was worse, to take the Lord's name in vain "LORD!" or "GOD!!" or the "F" and "S" words. I maintain that taking the Lord's name in vain is up there as one of the worst sins you can commit but F and S are just impolite words. Never could get her to agree with me. I just hate improper verb-tense in general. Like nails on a blackboard to me.

I don't like the word "basically." It's the way people use the word.
