Guess you don't listen to hip hop much.

I can never understand why "y'all" is only associated with Caucasians...

My two words:

"Oprah"

and

"Dr. Phil"

They just make my buttcheeks tighten.

as a counterpoint to all y'all "y'all" haters, i really dislike "you guys," and "yous guys."

incidentally, i'm not a big fan of the term "haters" and I dislike it when people say "mofo" instead of motherfucker.

Sniff, sniff

I hope you realize that this means we can never have a real, vocal conversation. I don't think I can talk for very long without saying Y'all or, even worse, all'y'all, any'a'y'all, some'a'y'all, or some variant.

:confused:

And I dearly hate the word Metrosexual. It sounds like someone that has sex with busses or something.

(Please excuse my narrow view of someone that would have sex with a bus. I know we are all trying to be open minded here).

I echo that sentiment. I saw the above phrase written in reverse letters on the upper portion of someone's car windshield the other day. You know, so you can read it forward only by looking in your rear-view mirror. I could not believe that someone would want to confirm their white-trash, red-neck status so flagrantly. But then I have always found it amazing the "statements" that people make with or on their cars.

Words I dislike:
"um" or "er" when used in public speaking
Classy - as a descriptor; almost always makes the opposite true
Utilize instead of use - that one is my wife's pet peeve actually

Troublebot 11-10-2004 11:42 AM

I'm going to second the term "retarded." Anyone who uses it (and why do so many teenage girls use it?) has little idea what it means and is working off stereotypical views. You should be beaten with a wiffle ball bat until dead.

Oh god, here I go.


Of, when used incorrectly. A lot of people don't realize that they are saying "could've" rather than "could of". I don't know why people just don't say "could have".

's when it's used incorrectly. All of us, including myself, use "there's" when it's supposed to be "there are". I'm working on this for myself, so I can start correcting people on it.

give'r - Hate it!!!!

Beer - when someone is using is pluraly. I drank 6 beer today. They should read the label of budweiser!!! It says KING OF BEER*S*. Yes, that's beerS.

Bandaids - It's a brand name!!!! The proper term is adhesive strip!!! - from clerks, the animated series. Seriously though, I don't like the improper use of brand names.

When people say words incorrectly. Examples would be Raspberry, grocery, clothes, milk, pillow, supposedly, blah blah blah. People say things like Rasberry, groshery, close, malk, pallow, supposebly, blah blah blah.

Panties - It just seems little girly-ish, and wrong.

I know there are a lot more, but I'll end it right there. I dont' like the improper use of grammar when it involves simple things like 'they're', 'there' and 'their'.

That's all, for now!

minyn 11-10-2004 01:57 PM

people repeating the word "like" between every third word in any statements. once is sufficent when making a metaphor or a comparison, any more its a word people use as a crutch.

learn to be confident with your words! or at least use them better than the rest of our society.

NosVette 11-10-2004 02:02 PM

I hate it when people use words like Coup de Grace and say Coop duh Grace instead of Coo day graw. Mispronunciation makes me want to kill people.

PayUp 11-10-2004 02:05 PM

Any word that someone feels the need to add "izzle" to every other word out of thier mouth.

Justsomeguy 11-10-2004 02:06 PM

It's no secret to most people that I really enjoy porn. However, here is a phrase that I hate.

"You like sticking that big black dick up my tight white pussy?"

Is she trying to be dirty? Is she trying to be a racist? Is it only hot sex because all of her family are racists and would disapprove? Needless to say it really puts a strain on my relationship with my penis.

When it happens, I don't know whether to continue to jack off, read my Bible, or write my congressman.

.......... Oh my..... noooo... you didn't....... WHEN THERE IS THE WORD LIKE, IT IS A SIMILE. If you use the word Like to make a Metaphore, you are r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d. Sorry if that offended anyone, I know previous people strongly dislike that word.

turbofish 11-10-2004 02:14 PM

I hate when people instead of saying "I'm going to the bathroom" say "I'm gonna take a piss"... Especially when it's a girl...

HAHAHA


This reminds me of when I was a bit younger. I always had porn on my satellite dish, but it didn't get sound. In other words, I whacked it to silent porn for years.

Once I was blessed with the amazing internet, I realized that the sounds in porn weren't all that appealing. I hate when bitches scream all crazy and shit, or act like they are being fucked by a fucking horse. I hate when they are overly loud, and you can totally tell that they are faking everything. Does anyone really find that appealing?

On another note, I had some girl scream my name during sex before. I didn't like that at all. It bugged me so much. I actually had to ask her to stop so i could continue.

Anyway, I'm picky with my porn and find a lot of it just rediculous, and sometimes i tend to turn the sound off, or way down, but some of it fucking rules with sound!!

I do agree that some of the things that the bitches say sometimes are just stupid and makes you want to stop watching porn. It makes you wonder what kind of directors they have directing this stuff!

krystalogik 11-10-2004 02:55 PM

I HATE (yes, in that pure negative sense of the word) when people say 'irregardless'. It sets off all sorts of alarms in my head.

neddy65 11-10-2004 02:55 PM

infrastructure drives me batshit.Every other word out a Canadian in politics is friken "infrastucture"
it also drives me nuts when people say signage when they mean signs.
I say cool way too much for my own good.

You would be correct sir. My house is a hip hop free zone :D :thumbsup:

Jimellow 11-10-2004 06:20 PM

I use all kinds of words, many that are likely on this list already.. Therefore, I don't really get too upset when people use words verbally.

However, I used to MUD a lot, and one of the players would always call everyone a "critter." So they would be like, "Good morning critters," "Have a nice night, critter," etc. It absolutely drove me nuts, and I couldn't stand it at all. I'm not sure why, but since it has become a word that just grinds me whenever it's used. Maybe because it's partly condescending, but also a "cute" word, although I'm not even sure. It just really aggravates me.

Other than that though, very little bothers me. I have all kinds of phrases, words, and random comments that I'll use throughout a day, and I think it's really neat to see other people using new expressions and such.. As long as it doesn't include "critter." :)

I agree with these, even though they're sentences, not just one word.

Variations:

1) Find someone else
2) Could you hang on just a second longer, I need you to do this for me..." x5

one thing I really dislike is that our version of english is now using the american date system, i.e November 11 instead of 11th of November.
just pisses me off, that we have to conform...meh

Janey 11-11-2004 01:21 PM

'Zee' instead of 'Zed'. it makes me cringe, and I want to speak up and correct the speaker immediately. Then I remember my manners.

I heard an old joke on TV last night:

Q: Do you know how to empty an olympic sized pool full of Canadians?
A: Say: "Could everybody please leave the pool"

HaHaHA

Ah come on, its a joke from where I used to work. We watched Duce Bigalo Male Gigalo (SP?) in the back room, and the big pimp guy says that. Guess it is kind of an inside joke. But it still makes me laugh. :lol:

Justsomeguy 11-11-2004 07:13 PM

Heh, I didn't know where it was from. The only person I know that said that was an ex-girlfriend I had that seemed to know way too much about a horses anatomy. :p

I can't stand "Buck up little beaver" or "In any case", although to my horror I've found myself saying both on the rare occation! It also drives me nuts when someone says "irregardless".

d*d: You said:

Quote:

the word like made popular by friends (the sitcom) "I was like, oh my god and he was like totally"
I respectfully suggest renting the movie "Valley Girl" with Nicholas Cage (IMHO one of the best movies ever for my generation (the tag Gen-X, though I can't stand it). The language you're suggesting originated with Friends came into being long before Friends ever hit the air.

I'm 33 and when I was 12 I had a night shirt that said "Gag me with a spoon", "Fer sure", "Like no--yah!", and many other euphemisms that made up the language of '80's youth. No other point, just wanted to set the record straight as to '80's speak. Oh and, "Vally Girl" really is a must see if you want a feel for the era of the '80's! (Lot's of others also, just suggesting this movie as an example because of what you said about "like totally"). Some other's might be "Pretty in Pink", "Breakfast Club", "Some Kind of Wonderful". O'kay, I'll stop 'cuz no one asked, just felt like suggesting some great flicks (although I'm sure they'll seem out-of-date to the youth of today!).

Jeff 11-11-2004 11:06 PM

I don't like the word "puke." I much prefer the word "barf"

I also dislike the word "y'all."

Nerd speak, like "l33t" and whateva. Especially when they say it aloud, "leet"

Reese 11-12-2004 05:29 AM

"motherfucker" is a word I really don't like to hear or say. It's a strong word that I think is used way more than necessary. We really don't have strong words anymore because they are all overused.

Disliking Y'all is prejudice against my southern dialect and I'd like an apology. Just because you don't use it doesn't make it wrong. As a matter of fact, I believe that "you guys" is sexist, therefore incorrect.

Now, just in case no one got it.. I am joking.. at least about my southern dialect :)

tisonlyi 11-12-2004 08:12 AM

Consumer.

It's the most horrible debasement of human beings. Adulterating a thinking, feeling human into the lowest common denominator of economic unit.

Grrr.

ultra_agent9 11-12-2004 08:28 AM

I was recently reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" to a class of High School kids, and, if you know the book well you know that it frequently refers to African American's as n-----s. There is no way to describe how awful I think that word is. And yet I had to hear the kids read it over and over during that class, and I never actually took the time to explain to them how they should never ever refer to African Americans in that way ( I was filling in for their regular teacher and I was quite sure that he had informed his class as to the nature of the language, date of publication of the book, southern US culture, etc.) Still, I havent' forgotten that day. I would use every curse word in the book 10x over before I ever mention that word.

On a lighter note, like a previous poster, I hate 'panties'. It sounds so ridiculous. Its like when little boys call their penis their peepee or weewee. Grown women need a grown up name for their underwear, like underwear.

I hate it when American's talk about Canadians saying "eh" and "aboot". (We do say eh, and I don't appologise for it, but I've never heard anyone say aboot)

I'm sure there are others but I am out...
