I hate the word "hate" and I'm serious.  Everytime you say you hate something it brings out the worst of you.  It changes your attitude, makes you angry which shouldn't happen.  So hate should NEVER be used.

'COMMITMENT' !!! No no I shouldn't, she might stumble across this site  >:D

Not so much a word but certain phrases like 'at the end of the day' come to mind.  Especially when people use them too often .

The one that annoys me most is when people use "god" and "damn" together. Very disrepectful of God. I have known people who seemed to feel they had to use it in every sentence. Sometimes I give folks a gentle reminder that "damn" is not His last name.

Great point, Hammer.  If you want to curse, then curse your own name.

I agree with Mel. I cannot stand the word " whatever ". Drives me crazy when someone says that to me, especially my daughter as she is always using that word.... :Xo!

Post by: Timmay on January 24, 2009, 07:46:46 AM
i agree with hammer,  I dont use the name God very much in that but I have a bad habit of saying Damn it.  Caught my youngest daughter one day trying to do something on the computer and it locked up and i heard her say Damn It! she turned and looked at me because she knew it was wrong for her to say and she said sorry daddy.  Its my fault, so I didnt punish her but I let her know it isnt right for such a young child to say.

I am amazed nobody like said the word like , like.  "I Mean" is like the other most used phrase like in the entire like  universe. I mean like come on people, like cant you get a like, life? Like?   I mean, like , really!!!   Like have you ever heard people start off like every sentence with " I mean"??   AND THEN interject a" you know what I mean?"  or a    "you know what I'm saying"   at the end of every like sentence?  so, I mean, like , THAT really irritates me, like you know what I'm saying???  So, in like, summary, i mean, to sum it all up, (you know what i mean?) I dont like superfluous LIKE and the word mean, (you know what I'm like saying?)    :Xo!

I will have to add   EXTRAORDINARY
Seems to me you can be ordinary, or EXTRA ordinary (which should be even more ordinary or super ordinary, extra plain or super plain)  but somehow extraordinary has come to be awesome or great.  Every time I hear how extraordinary Obama is;   I think of this.
It is what it is.     Like!!   Know what I mean???? O0

I hate when you're telling someone something and they just keep saying 'yeah yeah' every few words, as if they arent listening to what you're saying at all, or they know better than you do and just want you to shut up.  'Yeah yeah' >:(

also hate it when people say things are 'super-dooper'  :XX

I have 2 that come to mind:

ISSUE
and
APPROPRIATE (and its derivative.....INAPPROPRIATE)

Those 2 make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when used in certain contexts. For example, when I say something off-color (sometimes I do this) and someone says that what I just said has "raised an issue" with them, or "I have an issue" that I need to address with you.
Or when a person makes a judgement as to whether something is "appropriate" or "inappropriate", such as my conduct at certain times. "Oh, that is so borderline inappropriate!". To which I usually respond "Oh, why don't you just take your issue and go forth into the wilderness and have inappropriate conjugation with yourself!"

One phrase that rankles me is, "No problem," as a response to "thank you," as to a restaurant server.  (Here come the entrees, neatly set on the table...) to the server:  "Thank you."  ................"No Problem," she/he declares.  What in the world ever happened to "You're welcome?"!!!

I'm an old city boy froma really rough area so I've heard and been called everything you can imagine.

Profanity doesn't really bother me although I DO NOT like God's or Jesus' name used in conjunction with profanity.

Where I grew up profanity was just a part of the everyday lexicon..... HOWEVER....

I cannot stand the two following words

coc*sucker
c*nt

I think they are the crudest most offensive words in the English language and dare you use one of these around me, you may find yourself lying on your back with a bloodied face.......

Like, just as a few other bros have said. Trying to break my daughters of that one at the moment. Also can't stand "kinda". I had a coworker who would use this as an explanation for charges. This $60 is for them to kinda check it out and see what's going on with your car. If I'm paying any amount of money, I don't someone to "kinda" check out my car.

I find it difficult to get wound up by any individual words.
The sentiment behind them and the attitude of the user of those words is more likly to get me going, but even then, I would hesitate to use the word "hate".

I have to agree with Mike. "See You Next Tuesday" is such a ridiculously offensive word. It gives me the willies when I hear someone say it. And i think ive only used it in the most extreme of moments. And I still got the willies.   :-X

"Stimulus" ranks right up there right now.  My pet peeve is people that overuse curse words just to use them.  Only 5th graders think that is cool.  For instance, I work with a "lady" that uses the F word as a verb, noun, adjective, prepositional phrase, pronoun and for just about every other part of speech there is.  I tried to tell her to think about the real meaning of the word.  If it doesn't fit, don't use it just to cuss.

"Actually", particularly its repetitive use in news reports, as in, "We're actually here in the Congressional office of. . ."  It's useless, implies that next time they might not be there or they have said this in the past as a misrepresentation of their actual position.

Another timely one is 'investment' -- when politicians are spending all of this money that they don't have, it's actually an 'investment.'

I also don't like 'virtually' -- it means nothing but implies 100%.  It's used in advertsing all of the time.  Phrases I really can't stand are 'old man' or 'old lady' referring to parents or spouses -- totally disrespectful.
