It makes it seem like the wives treat their husbands as pets. |
OH, GOODNESS YES. The word is nauseating.
I also just remembered that I despise the word "woot" and a number of the words that rhyme with it. |

I'm sure theres some but I just can't think of any right now except "partner". Especially when it's used by straight people. I can understand a gay guy not wanting to say boyfriend and make his gayness obvious, but a wife calling her husband her partner is belittling marriage just to be trendy by being "politically correct".
EDIT: "Rape" has become a popular replacement for "pwn/own" (Like to beat someone at a video game) lately and I just can't stand it. I always thought of it as a curse word right up there with... well, body parts.
Milf, there aren't any for me, I prefer younger women so it just gives me nasty images of older women in my head. That "LF" sound is atrocious too. |

I also get annoyed by the phrase "under the sea" and the word "underground".
You're not under anything, you're in it! You're in the sea! You're in the ground! The only time you're actually under the ground/sea, is if gravity stopped working.

i hate it when i hear the word "hi".
i start to become difficult from that point on.
my involvement with people when i am talking to them is purely speculative, and when they eventually see that that is the case, they become disappointed.
whatever.
i am not god, so they should not care.
i did not make me.
they should not be disappointed in what i am because i am not responsible for who i am.
i can not understand what happens in their world, so i haughtily plow my way through it and i meet many "immovable" obstacles....which i eventually find a way of moving (even if it is to my detriment (which it very often is))
one has to have a sense of whether it is a good night or a bad night, and i have a feeling that it is a good night, so i will say "good night" without any doubt.
now i am off to bed which i am sure i will also enjoy. |

I know, right?
No, I'm not agreeing with you -- that's the phrase I currently detest the most. And my closest friend, a man of fine intelligence, just used it.
It is a conflicted phrase. The first part is a simple agreement, but the second part comes along and searches for a rejoinder from the one being agreed with. |

Only three...
"Open wide."
"This won't hurt."
"Oops!"
... in that order

sometimes i think "i have just had a thought which i estimate you are incapable of realizing, let alone fortiftying, and so therefore i am not going to tell you what it is".
everything is conditional. |

One thing that really irks me is when people shorten words such as legitimate or delicious into "legit" or "delicious". Are they really going to be short of breath if they say two more syallables? I had to stop watching CSI becuase it made me have meltdowns whenever Grissom would say "decomp" instead of "decompositon". I correct people's grammar all the time and my best friend would often times call me "the grammar queen". One thing I do not stand for is when people spell meerkat with a C instead of a K. My signiture used to read "Spell meerkat with a C and I will stab you". I got repremanded for it on every fourm I've been on. But it's not something I came up with. I saw someone on a Timon or Lion King fourm using that as their "sig" and figured it probably fit me more than it ever would fit them. Although I wouldn't stab someone physicaly for spelling it with a C, I would verbably chastise them. I once bought a greeting card with a meerkat on it and that was labled with a C. I had a meltdown and was even going to contact the company and go all grammar Nazi on them. If I ever become a dictator, spelling meerkat with a C will be a first class felony.
When my neice was born, my dad's nick name for her was "Tweedle". Something about the sound of that word really bothered me. I begged him to call her something else in front of me but he wouldn't and wouldn't listen to me about how it botherd me. The sound of the word hurt my ears. I think I have synestasia too.

| saying "I lied" or "just kidding" in place of "THat wasn't what I meant to say." Why would you rather be a liar than own up to your mis-speak? |

I don't like it when people say" hey "when they greet each other instead of "Hello"another one is using the word "Bathroom" when they mean "Toilet" someone asked me if I was looking for the "Bathroom" one day and I said to them "No thanks I had already had a bath this morning"  |
