words that you hate to hear/say
 

trousers
coolbeans

and sorry but i have to break the rules in this thread a little....

i hate when people say “we'll touch base” grrrrrr
:crazy:

"Quitting" is the ugliest word in any language.

my latest kick is unbelievable im sick of it... with proper sarcasm...
of course...

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. :p

Not really one word

WMD
Weapons of Mass Destruction

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.

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...! :)

hehehehehe :D

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 :(

shit, damn, hell, piss, bladder, fart, cry, pucker, pickle, negro, penis, potato, macaroni, poop, spit, tear, erection and any word that people try to end with -wise.

Any usage of the phrase "day one."

"I've been on your side ever since DAY ONE." Blccchhhh!

It's not D-Day, there, Kilroy.

I just wanted to add that I really hate Justdisguy's post.

"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"

ya'll? you guys hate the word ya'll? Damn I dont know how you'd handle being in the south :lol:

my word I dislike is moist

French words. All of them. Don't like the way they sound.

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".

"Holla" "Holla Back"

Edit: Forgot to put these--- "Hit me up" "Hit me back"

"I don't want to be with you anymore".
"Can you stay and work just a few more hours".

"don't got" tops my list

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"

At the end of the day...

When all is said and done...

Whatever!

Shit happens

In a former life...

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..."

Expresso - Just, no.

Perdy - "That baby's so perdy!"

Fixxin' - "I'm fixxin' to..."

Nascar

Ford

Bush

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.

I like to hear hella, cause it's hella cool.

Dislike:
Like (repeatedly)
Dude
This that and the other thing

I can assure you....its used in the real world....at least in GA, SC, and AL ahahahaha

"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. ;)

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)

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

synergy

run it up the flagpole and see who salutes

dynamical

i don't understand why you have to act this way

That reminds me

if I NEVER hear 'GIT R DONE' again it will be too soon

that phrase makes me want to kill (along with..... I don't care who ya are, that's funny shit right there)

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.

MJ

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

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.

Rock, have I told you lately that I love you? :D

:lol: Hey Art...Now that's funny!


Personally if I am referred to as "dude" one more time....:D

What'll you do, dude?
DUDE, YOU'RE GETTING A DELL!

Slacks
Blouse
Washington Redskins

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

My guess would be very horny ones.

I hate hitable.

I knew someone who said that about everygirl he saw. shes hitable. Pissed me off.

But I love it when someone says "I go make Pee Pee now"

After reading that, I disregarded anything you previously said in your post.

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.

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:

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." :)

:lol: Washington Redskins....... some of you guys have some hilarious words you dislike :lol:

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

hmm

y2k
9/11
24/7

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

'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:

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

Now that I've read your post, I would like to add Denver Broncos to my list :D.

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:

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!).

Ali

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"

"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 :)

Consumer.

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

Grrr.

-People who type "hehehe"
-use emoticons
-use "kewl"

:) :rolleyes: :lol: :cool: :icare: :p :hmm: ;) :crazy: :thumbsup: :confused: :| :eek:

Myself, i'm most unimpressed with people who post stuff that's completely OT.

^^^

gah. *rolls eyes*

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...

"Like, y'know"

"the exact same thing"
(ah....and just run it by me how it's different from 'the same thing' once again??)

"innit?" bloody chavs

anything ending in "x0rz" except when said to make fun of the knobjockeys that use it.

the word dude sound's red neck for me

You do realize you've offended about half of the community with this comment, right? :hmm:

"Inappropriate"
"Politically correct"
"Gay"
Living in Australia and working on building sites I have to hear the word "mate" every 3 seconds and I just want to scream! Stop using it!
"Crikey" and "Strewth". Ever since Steve Irwin crawled out of the swamp these words have regained the popularity they enjoyed 25 years ago. Fuck off, Steve, back to swamp with you!

EMO. Hearing people say that causes me to grow uncontrollably angry.

moist
circus
clown
phat
crib (in reference to house)
bling bling
wrong

Succulent.

I do all three all the time, and I refuse to apologize for it :D :thumbsup:
Completely agree.

IMHO
No, your opinion is not humble. Why can't people just say "I think (insert opinion)"?
I know a girl who says "I'm gonna take a piss", and I think it is hot. ^^
Also, I rotate between "gonna go drain the (giant) lizard", "gonna take a piss", and "gonna take a wizz" randomly.

Panties
I agree with the poster that said women should have a grown-up word for their underwear, but it is still a hot word. :thumbsup:
I call things gay and retarded all the time. Why gay? Because to me "gay" is a general insult. Do I hate gay people? No. Is it possible to use the word "gay" as an insult yet not hate gay people? Yes, it is, actually. I don't associate "gay" insult with "gay" people. Your brain does not work exactly like mine, trust me. Same thing goes with the word "retarded". Of course, I realize that calling things gay and retarded offends some people, so I only use these words around close friends who I know won't get offended and who understand that I don't make close-minded generalizations about homosexuals or mentally retarded people.

:) Try reading Mark Twain's <u>Letters from the Earth</u>, especially the section titled <u>The Tramp Abroad</u>. You might enjoy it.

Stuff that drives me wild:
When people type "your" instead of "you're". Especially when the person doing it is an intelligent individual making an intelligent point in their post. For me, this severely detracts from the value of the post. :(
Second thing that drives me insane is the misuse of "their", "they're" and "there". To me not knowing how to use these words properly is a direct indication of how ignorant a person is of the English language. I can tolerate all other misspellings and grammatical errors, though. And no, I'm not an English major. Far from it. I'm just a big fan of good grammar, and a strong supporter of it.

Words and their variations that I hate to hear in conversations:
Dichotomy
Pragmatism
Communism (mostly because people don't know what they're talking about when they use this word)
Any political figure's name (yes, I hate discussing politics)

And well, a whole bunch more, but they're in Spanish. Here are some examples:
Eque (es que)
O sea (way over used)
Pirata
Piraton
Que padre (grrr!!!!!!!!!!!!)

didactic, synergy, symbiotic, team-player, like, Doh, ...., ever!,

I am hopelessly afraid of the word, "Never".

Anything in Hax0r speak, gay or retarded when used in an offensive manner, and the ever popular see you next tuesday word.

People saying or writing "this is my 2 cents" or "well that was my 2 cent", really really annoys me.
Well thats just my 2 cents :lol:
