any word that ends in 'gma'...
('quitting' is a good word when it comes to bad habits.)
and anyone that uses the non-word, irregardless, gets a verbal thrashing from me!

I can't stand it when people say "y'all," it just bothers me a lot.

I absolutely hate when people call things "retarded" or "gay". It's just sooo unbelieveably inappropriate.

On a lighter not, I say "no doubt" waaaay too much.

I hate it when people that drive Cavaliers refer to their cars as "Cavvys." Sounds ten times worse than fingernails scraping on a chalkboard to me.

JustDisGuy

Hate.

It bugs the hell out of me when people use the word "hate" to describe how much they dislike something. To me "hate" is a pure (though negative) word, very like "love" in that it should be used only when one is certain that it is being used sincerely.

That's actually what forced me to add my $.02 to this thread...!

I use the word "basically" way too much in conversation - eg "the job is basically done". It irritates me that I can't commit to it actually being done

"bro", "dude", "y'all" and almost any "ebonics" words.

Dude, like, when people say like, and dude (too much), and every sentence sounds like a question?

And the word "forte".

froo instead of through, fings instead of things and the needless use of the word like made popular by friends (the sitcom) "I was like, oh my god and he was like totally"

It's like you looked into my head and wrote down a list of all my favourite words. Only you missed out 'assbadger' and 'knobjockey'.

I hate the use of acronyms that could be substituted with something shorter and less oblique. For example "ASAP" instead of "Quickly" or "can you give me an ETA on that?" instead of "When?"

Oh and stupid, made up words like Bush uses. You know, things like "Subliminabable", "Resignate", "Exemplerary" or "Analyzation".

Shani, if they can't handle "y'all," imagine how they'd react to hearing a Southern child point out "where the Yankees shot me."

I can't stand, "Duh". The person saying it sounds as stupid as the word.

buttercup I think is the stupidest word I have ever heard.

It's usually in the phrase "suck it up buttercup"

That's the point.

How about "guesstimate"

It's not even a real word! Can't they just say "guess". Plain and simple.

Warsh - "I'm gonna go warsh my hands..."

Axsk - "He axsked me to do it..."

I must admit that "y'all" drives me nuts. I never thought anyone used that in the real world only in hick/redneck movies. I'm not saying people here are hicks/rednecks, just that it sounds like it.
"duh", makes the person sound as dumb as the word.

I dislike hearing abbreviations used in verbal conversation such as 'ASAP' instead of saying 'soon'.
I, somehow, picked up saying the word 'like' way too much and it bugs me. I'm trying to break that habit because it just sounds uneducated even to me.
I don't like hearing E-bonics. I've never liked it. Why would you want to speak that way in the general population. It just makes a person sound like they've never attended school past 2nd grade.
I don't like hearing people say "Can I" when they really mean "May I". I always thing "Well I don't know CAN you?" but I don't always say it.
I dislike hearing curse words. It's not that it offends me really. I wasn't allowed to say them as a child and never got into the habit. It makes me cringe because of my strict training NOT to say them. I personally feel that if you can't insert a real word where that curse word is or if you're having to use multiple curse words in a sentence than what you're saying isn't worth being said or heard. Even if you are saying something valuable I have to struggle not to tune you out if you're cursing much.

"ya know whut I'm sayin" - every other sentence fragment. It cuts through my ears and gives me the urge to strike someone, like nothing else.

I have to echo the hatred of the term "WMD" or "Weapons of Mass Destruction". So overused, and almost glorifying. Sounds like they took the idea out of a sci fi movie.

Dichotomy - this word has its uses, but people use it SO much (the people with whom I discuss things anyways) that it pisses me off. YES THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM. THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU LICENSE TO USE THE WORD IN EVERY CONVERSATION WE HAVE.

Fundamentally - again, has its uses, but it overused by people that I talk to.

Impossible - this word has no use, except as comical exaggeration.

Haha Pinkie, I say "perdy" and I'm trying to work "I'm fixin' ta" into my vocabulary. I only say them when I'm playing my satirical redneck (makes sense with my being from Alberta), but you'd probably want to kill me after talking for a couple hours.

Janey

I worked in Columbia SC for a month, and I heard Y'all constantly. I thought it was cute and quaint. Really friendly, so I don't mind it.

Shani, I love the word moist. reminds me of good times and the state that I like to be in!!! lol.

What I hate (sic) is the word 'absolutely' used as a stand alone affirmative. You Americans are really guilty about doing this. Eg: "Hey, are you going to the Tragically Hip Concert?" "Absolutely!" "Me too!".

(*cringe city)

JustDisGuy

LOL - I don't care who ya are, that's funny shit right there...
