Words that annoy you...

[Southern Scouse]

Palace, Crystal, Croydon, Selhurst, man united, Alex ferguson, sky sports, Bognor Regis.......
The list goes on and on.

"Heaps" - Term usually heard from Aussies.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

'Can I get a ....' 'no, I have to get it for you, I work here, it's my job'

I'd love to hear someone say that.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

"Do you know what I mean?"

I can't possibly know for certain. I may think I do, but how can anyone be sure? You might have expressed yourself badly.

 

[Worthingite]

I hate it when people on facebook (Generally pikey mum's or self righteous victims) use the word Karma when somebody has done something that displeases one of their friends - e.g FB Poster "Caught my Boyfriend having a 3 way with the slag from the kebab shop and a golden retriever" - reply from PM/SRV "Karma babe, he'll get his one day"

No, no they probably won't.

 

[SussexHoop]

I hate the word ginormous. Really hate it!

Another bugbear is how often people use 'devastated'. Woman in the news yesterday was devastated because someone had been fly-tipping outside her house. P***ed off understandably but devastated?

Devastated should be reserved for something significant surely.

 

[ilduc944]

What a good point, must remember to use that!

 

[Titanic]

"Get in the HOLE" and "Come on Andy!"... that and any woman tennis player GRUNTING and SHRIEKING.

 

[MissGull]

woop woop.

 

[Norman Potting]

Pre-planned.

'Planned' means to prepare for something beforehand, so why do you need the 'pre'?

..Likewise - "pre order".

 

[Murray 17]

..Likewise - "pre order".

I hadn't thought of that one. That will bug me now every time I hear it!!

 

[Badger]

"Heaps" - Term usually heard from Aussies.

Or the American equivalent "A bunch of" which is only acceptable when followed by the word "flowers" (or a variety of flower).

"Pre-drinks" annoys me too, you're having drinks before you go out and have drinks, so just call them "drinks"!

 

[Kumquat]

My girlfriend and i both really dislike the word commitment. In fact it brings tears to her eyes although i'm strong enough to deal with it.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I've just remembered "nom nom nom"

What the c0ck is all that about?

Then there is also "eXpresso" when talking about a small coffee.

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

'Hun' in social media, although perfectly acceptable when speaking in the historical sense.

Its supposed to be the noise cookie monster makes in a biscuit frenzy.

"Pre-drinks" annoys me too, you're having drinks before you go out and have drinks, so just call them "drinks"!

This comes from clubbers, having pre-drinks in a pub before they go to a club where the price doubles. It makes sense in that context, anything else is a bit alki.

 

[perseus]

Basepoint

 

[Worried Man Blues]

People who start a sentence with " I think you'll find this interesting................" Pretty damn sure I won't!

Ah right. Even as a CM fan, I'm afraid it doesn't change my hatred of the 'phrase'.
