I hate certain words

Post Reply New Topic

"Shiver me timbers" is yet another example to me of annoying, "what the f**k"-ery?

I don't like 'sshh'. I don't know why, but every time this is said to me, I feel embarrassed and I just find it dehumanizing. The only time I don't mind it said to me so much is if I am being noisy and hurting someone's ears or annoying them. Otherwise, I don't like it used near me, especially when people are being too paranoid.

I don't mind it being used to calm a crying baby or a toddler.

Zoidberg (its the combination of zoid and berg , its icky)
Imminent (who uses words like that these days ?)
Digimon (and icky theme song)

Elvis got so angry he threw a pool cue at a woman in '63 , she had used the "son of b" and it triggered his rage , he felt it disrespectful his mother

Iron Sheik cant say respect, he says "respakk" : "you dont respakk de wrestling, I break your back , make you humbell !"

The word, ladylike is my least favourite word. It makes me want to puke it up pink.

Some other expressions that I hate are when a person says something, particularly praising a job they did, and then follows it with "if I do say so myself" (you were clearly saying it before so adding that tag on at the end is just redundant and stupid) or when someone says "I feel like 'fill in the blank, though normally it's a type of food'" (you do not feel like "fill in the blank". You feel like having "fill in the blank".). The latter one in particular really pisses me off the most because of how stupid it sounds. Equally annoying is whenever a person types down the word "defiantly" in a comment when they're supposed to say "definitely". I once tried to correct someone who had made that mistake and he responded that there was "no difference" between the two words. I was just about ready to punch in my screen I was so infuriated by his ignorance.

I hate most swear words, and yet people swear so much now that I feel like I need to wash my ears out. I'm glad I don't take things *too* literally, or I'd be wondering why everyone else on the internet is obsessed with anal intercourse and feces, although it does conjure up some literal images in my mind.

I've developed a (probably irrational) dislike for the word 'so', mainly because an increasing number of people seem to feel the need to begin every other sentence with the word.

"bajs" is more amusing than "bæsj"

I'm also not very fond of swear words. Why do so many people have to swear so much, these days?

I’m British, from the North, have lived in a Australia for about 11 years. Certain words just feel wrong in my mouth, and I get awkward about other brits using them.
Specifically bucks and guys. But there are plenty of others.
Lunch is another one.
I was brought up breakfast, dinner, tea. I know the British middle classes tend to go with breakfast, lunch, dinner - my wife is middle class and her ma and da are staying with us at the minute, so she has it tough with a feet in both worlds.
I was speaking to a colleague over here, he was requesting I helped him with something he should have known (he was a paid consultant), I said I would get back to him after dinner, and he corrected me and said don’t you mean after lunch. This led to an email around the team pointing out the correct usage of breakfast, dinner, tea in the English language.
My missus reckons I take this s**t too seriously.
Love swearing, if there was a proficiency test I reckon I’d get a f*****g good mark.

One of my coworkers says, “. . .or whatever,” after most of his sentences. It grates on my nerves.

It’s not so much words that I hate as people’s voices. I don’t know if it’s misophonia since other sounds don’t generally bother me.

Yes, whatever is a really annoying word.

"people" sounds like seven billion, but literally means two or more

Many times lil dipshits have correctly told me that, "you make people uncomfortable with the way you dress!" . Or otherwise used "people" in a factually correct but grotesquely misleading method

Everyone is comfortable, neither, or uncomfortable

Everyone makes people uncomfortable with the way they dress

The statement is correct


The implication is that nobody except me makes people uncomfortable with the way they dress

The implication is wrong


Logical fallacy



f**k mister redelings

Thanks Kenya, from now on I'll say I feel like having some ice cream instead of just I feel like ice cream. The reason for this is that my friend always picks me up on saying it the wrong way and tells me that I don't look like ice cream, heh. So thanks.

A friend's girlfriend used to constantly say "basically". With nearly every sentence. I stayed with them for a few days and was nearly tearing my hair out by the end. Thankfully, he broke up with her.
