Being upset by words people use?

Post Reply New Topic

Football managers especially. For some reason they all have very limited vocabularies.

I think "Knickers" is cool. It's so British and Cockney

i do not like to be called "pal" or "buddy" or "captain" or "champ" or "chief" etc.

if am called that by anyone, then i will inevitably become defiant.

i can not think correctly when i talk to someone who thinks i am inferior to them, and somehow, they wind up insulted and i wind up in trouble.

The most horrible word in the universe is R E L A T I O N S H I P. I wish i had never heard it.

Those would irritate me too.

I was called "fella" by a policeman in my own home Whatever happened to calling male members of the public "sir"?

Putting an S on the end of any word that doesn't need it is annoying. e.g. Walmarts, K-Marts. Plus, adding an apostrophe to plural nouns should be punishable by death.

There have been instances where I would only accept one word of greeting/starting a conversation from certain people. If they said anything other than that form of hello it was upsetting.

I cannot think of anything else other I dislike being called "dear" and such.

well i had a major incident happen 8 years ago, (when i was living in the "pymble" house), and me and tammy were going to bed, and i heard a very loud smash down the street (i suppose tammy heard it too), and i determined that it sounded like a fatal accident, so i ran down the street (with tammy) to see what had happened, and i rang "000". the police turned up very quickly, and i could not work out where to stand.

one policeman said "out of the way bozo!", and i suddenly lost control, and i refused to obey any direction that he could utter, and then 3 policemen took me (forcibly) back to a police station, and i was non compliant throughout the entire episode.

by the way there were no fatalities, and the smash sounded much worse than it it was.

Why do we have homonyms and homophones in the English language? Most people don't seem to understand how they work.

Glad to hear that. I was afraid to ask. Terrified of accidents.

The corresponding Hungarian word for "must" comes from German, thus it sounds horrible. My mother used it to nag me to do things. For many years I had been correcting everyone who uttered this word in my presence.

Also, when someone in my family would say "Johnny, wouldn't you go down to the shop and buy ... ?" I would say "Exactly."

I hate the words, ret*d and ret*d. Yes, I'm that much of a sensitive baby.

Same here as I mentioned the "R" word.

"it needs to go here" instead of "it has to go here" an object does not NEED anyting.

That's anoying me when people use this word this way.

I am bored "of" something instead of "with" something.
Someone lied "on" me instead of "about" me.
