Words you dislike hearing...

“Group research paper”

Anyways gets on my nerves.

People who overuse f***ing, like every third word.
“Wish” when you mean “want.”

Well, mine is mostly with like context.
I hate hearing like people saying like the word like, like when they are like trying to like describe something.

Like, you know what i mean?

Issues. I truly despise hearing that someone has “issues” with something. Or merely that someone else has “issues.” Is it too difficult to have a problem, or is that too specific?

uh, no offense intended to you Auntie Xmas
that was like in context. <g>

utilize, paradigm, solution, pro-active. As in: “We must pro-actively utilize the new paradigm to institute a business-solution.”

Johnny LA: Have you ever played Buzzword Bingo?

My most hated word:

WHATEVERRRRRRRRR!

Turd and slacks.

“Yipes I have a turd in my slacks.”

Hey Moosie, if you don’t like the language, stick to French!

Anyways…

I think hubby is a terribly dumb word. Makes me think of a big fat good-for-nothing bozo that just sits there. You know, sort of like a bean bag chair. But a married one.

The 20somethings in my office say “exactly” all the time.

Sort of the way that normal people say “Yeah,” or “Uh.”

“Nice day today.” “Exactly!”

“I hate Scooby Doo.” “Exactly!”

“Those pants make your ass look fat.” “Exactly!”

What’s driving me nuts is that I’m starting to pick it up. Every time I say "Exactly!’ instead of “That’s right” or “Check” or “You got it, Sweet Cheeks” I wince inwardly.

Pro-life when you mean anti-abortion and
pro-abortion, when you mean pro-choice
(pro-abortion only applies to the
Chinese government.)

“squat” is just a yukky-sounding, nausea-inducing word.

And new parents, please, PLEASE do me a favor and don’t use the word that gets to me most of all – “potty.”

“Does baby need to go potty?” Makes my skin crawl for some reason. Must just bring to mind the thought of post-digestive-tract Gerber strained peas in a diaper …

saucy potato: Mrs. Milo has a thing against the word “panties,” too. I kind of like that word …

Oh baby, you called? :wink:

(Hint: Check out my e-mail addy.)

I hate the term “Yay or nay”, it sounds stupid. I also hate the words “synergy”, “phat”, and “hence-forth”.

The word “turd” makes me laugh for some strange reason.

Johnny Angel:

You must hate that commercial full of 20-somethings with full coffee cups headed full-speed for the RR tracks.

Hey! Coldy, that’s not very nice. And, rest assured, he is anything but. Neither fat, a good-for-nothing bozo, nor does he just sit there like a bean bag chair.
He is a teddy bear to his family and friends and a grizzly to anyone who ticks him off big time. I don’t even know why I started calling him that, except I got tired of typing husband all the time, and I will leave it up to him to give out his given name when/if he wants to, and needed something to call him. Now that he has registered as Mr Bear, I will be using that a lot more.
I’m sorry me using that word offends you. Oh, well, to each his own.

No need to explain purplebear - I like you, but I dislike the word “hubby”. For all I know, you might dislike the word “Coldfire” :wink:

Grunt.

Treat. That word is just so WRONG!

“Hardcore.”

Exception: When referring to the genre of music.
