Do you have certain words you don't like people saying?

Post Reply New Topic

I hate getting that when I'm happy or relaxed. I'm angry after hearing it, so that doesn't exactly work on me.

"fa***t" I already thought it was stupid, but it's getting to be a real bore ontop of that. Every one uses a cliche, but these kids drive it past Neptune!

"Chi", "Key", "Yee" repeated.

"n****r" What I hate the most about this, is the blacks who are useing it between each other, and being racist hypocrates when other ethnics use it. It you don't like a word being used, stop useing it like it's "cool". How hard is that?

I don't like to use idioms, and find them annoying at times.

I also don't like it when people use sports analogies like, "step up to the plate," "we're on the 20 yard line," etc.

If we are talking about pet peeves, it is mostly political stuff. I do not want to list it here, though, because it is bound to set off someone with the opposite opinion, I am sure- and I do not relish getting into it.

In terms of sheer quirky problems that I have with the sound or look of words, I have two: I am not fond of unnecessary contractions ("Soup's on!" "My son'll be there", "Car's been acting up", etc.) The second one is an accent thing: when Americans from the Midwest region of the US fail to pronounce the -t in an -nt sound ("Internet" pronounced "Innernet", "interview becomes "innerview", "winter" and "winner" are not clearly distinguishable, "international" gets butchered into "innernashnul", etc., etc. ) It should not be that challenging for a native English speaker to say the letter T, for frig's sake!

As a child I felt physically sick if anybody said the words 'blood' or 'sh*t'. Now I just wince.

I hate any sort of frivolous swearing (and have never in my life used any of those words that I hate).

I also dislike the phrase "because I said so" when used as a reason for why a person should do something. Why did you say so, and why won't you tell me? =P

The word meal and the phrase "Enjoy your meal." They make me cringe. I would rather you say food.

Uh, ah, anything to extend it so a person can think of what they want to say.

With phrases, I am not a fan "Can I help you with anything today?" or "would you like to upsize that for 50 cents?".

I really hate it when people talk in "txt spk". I have friends that actually say "lol" out loud, it's ridiculous. If it was funny you actually *laugh*.

As for me the worst is used to show symbolic sympathys such as
If there's any thing I can do, would they actually do work for the person? mostly at funerals
It will get better, as if any one knows.
Time heals, no time dilutes memories.

Ones that beyond annoy me are.
You can't do it, just because its improbable doesn't mean imposable.
I cant do it, before any attempt is made
As if, when used in a high voice tone
Shut up, when used in a teenage high tone
and pointless vulgarity with out and emotion or pain

ONE MORE THE VARY WORST, YOU CAN DO ANY THING YOU PUT YOU MIND TO.
I can do a lot but not any thing.

Ebonics.

"I could care less".

"ATM machine"/"PIN number".

Words likening women to animals/food/objects.

Also, I used to hate the word 'cuddle' with a passion, for some reason...

I don't like the word "baby" being used to refer to someone's romantic partner. Whoa, okay, that was too formal. Someone's boyfriend/girlfriend. Then there's "daddy", "B-Day", and "Aspie." Aspie just sounds bad. I prefer Aspergian.

My father is "Daddy" to me.

I think that Aspergian sounds like something out of bad Tolkien fanfic

I hate a LOT of words. In fact, I didn't know this was an Asperger's thing. I thought it was just a quirk of mine.

Words I hate:
That racial slur for black people. I don't hate it because it's offensive, I hate it because the word enrages me. Also, I'm not black.

Certain words that end in Y [as in most of them].
