Yesssss.
Just, only, let go, it depends, calm, relax, boundaries. The first three involve minimizing, the fourth one is a cheap, evasive answer to a question you just asked, the last three are used to control and go on a power trip against someone. OOOH...I'M GETTING MAD NOW!!!!!

I dislike when people swear in work settings without caring if it offends other people. If the situation is extreme and the person has a good reason to swear that is ok, but to swear "just because" that is not ok. Exclamation

When I was a child I hated the Norwegian word for sorry(Unnskyld). The other kids at school would tease me becuase I got upset when hearing the word and yell ''Unnskyld'' at me.

(I am from Norway btw)

Meat. I'm not a vegetarian nor do I hate meat or anything like that... I just don't like the sound of the word.

How can you say that?

It's easy I just did and would say it again. NTs are just so naive when it comes to reality.

Soppy talk.

E.G

Husband: You're my snicker doodle pie!
Wife: You're my pooky bear!
Husband: I love you my beautiful darling!
Wife: I love my hubby!

If I ever actually hear that conversation in public, there will be bloodshed.

Yes soppy/sappy talk in public is definitely a "no no" to me as well. Also I do dislike annoying TV ads that are always much louder than the TV show. Sometimes TV ads are well done and even funny, but most often they are annoying. Rolling Eyes

The recent (last 5 years or so) trend in the use of the word "passion", especially by presenters at the BBC who really should know better.

It is both cringe worthy and infuriating at the same time to hear people say "I'm so passionate about..."

The word should be used in the sexual or religious sense but no other. Instead it is attributed to the most mundane things. I almost foam at the mouth with rage.

What is wrong with "I really like..." or "I enjoy..." ?


Yes sometimes trendy words can be annoying and get old. A trendy word that is very annoying now is "artisan". This is "artisan" so it makes you want to buy it more or not. Question

I cannot stand the name "Keith". I don't know why, but it really bothers me to hear or say it.
The phrase "take it for granite". The word is granted! Granite is a rock!
I could care less. No, what you mean is that you could not care less.

^Those sort of questions...
"How can you like that?" - I just do, do I really need to justify my preferences?
"How can you eat that?" - I just did, would you like to try some?
"How can you not understand?" - Uhh, now I'm supposed to be able to explain how my brain thinks?

And also the questions that people dont want honest answers to.

The word "blister" is not pleasant to me.

A lot of words. And Doodle or Die earned me a hatred of any descriptions related to Dragon Ball Z.

A phrase I really hate that a lot of teachers/administrators use...
When they refer to my mom as such: "Well, I'm sure Mom would..."
Just no...she is not your mother. I didn't refer to her as "Mom", I call her my mother or by her name. It irks me immensely.

As sound as a Pound. That would be almost as bad as saying, "As happy as money."

I've been staring at this for the last few minutes, trying to parse what that expression even means...
Shocked

I write about computers and technology for a living, and technical jargon really irks me, mainly because it's almost all universally meaningless. "Distruption" as a term to describe how one company can completely change an industry is my least favorite, followed by the word "solution" when used to describe a product.

On the other hand, I find "food" to be a rather amusing word to say. Smile
