Terms that annoy you

[Arielle22]

My daughter uses the term nasty and it grates on my nerves.

I also dislike

furbaby: No matter how much you want the pet to be your baby it is just a pet

baby daddy:like the mom had no interaction with the dad, it is the baby's fault she has to deal with him

it is what it is

ain't: When I was in grade school we were taught a rhyme of "don't say ain't your mother will faint, your father will fall in a bucket of paint. Your sister will cry and your brother will die so don't say ain't."

I work with a woman who is 45 years and says "W.T.F." She won't say, what the ****? She'll say W.T.F. I want to slap her everytime she does it.

I was also asked, "who is you talking to?" this morning. To which I replied, "I is talking to you"

I haven't heard this in a while, so I'm hoping its dead and buried.. but I used to HATE when I was having a conversation with someone, and their response to whatever I said was,"Cool Beans!".. Used to annoy me.. even worse.. when you were chatting with somebody online or through e-mail and they would type it out like,"Kewl Beans!"... First of all, what is so cool about beans? and secondly, how do they tie into whatever subject we are talking about?? Unless I told you I was having frozen beans for supper.. dont say cool beans.

"that's what she said." guys at work say this all the time. Ugh.

what does this mean??? I hear it all the time.

I hate preggo, preggers, AF...

Also hate DD DS DH DM etc. It just makes everything very clunky to try to read.

My newest pet peeve is the use of myself instead of me; like me is some kind of dirty word. Example - It will be my husband, myself, my mother.... No it's - my husband, me, my mother...

Thank YOU! I didn't think anyone would mention "myself". Thought it was just "myself" who felt this way

Also, notice improper usage of the word: "Susan, Barb, and Myself will be hosting the party tonight". I notice people who are trying to sound businesslike or professional like throwing it around as well. They seem to think it sounds more "businessy" and I hear of people using it frequently in the workplace.

There are very limited places "myself" is appropriate to use. Those would be, "I looked at MYSELF in the mirror", or "all by MYSELF'. Of course it can be used in other situations, but I'm just giving typical examples. Definitely not, "Contact Joe or MYSELF for more info".

Another one I don't like is the new misuse of the word "random". This word has become popular in the last several yrs, and with that came the inappropriate use. People use it to substitute words like "strange" or "assortment". If you look at the definition of "random" it has nothing to do with "odd" or "unusual".

Yo.

 

[heatherleigh]

Just thought of another one. I don't like "anyways" rather than "anyway".

Are you talking about "that's what she said"? It's just a phrase people say after sexual innuendos. It's been in a bunch of movies and stuff, and is popular now thanks to the show "The Office". The writers of that show write in a lot of sexual innuendos so that a character, Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) can say "that's what she said!"

For example..

Person A: "Make sure it's long enough"
Person B: "That's what she said!"

I GET IT NOW! my husband said it to me the other day after i said something. i didn't care enough to ask him what he meant.

How about:

"Wow. Just wow."

It needs to go away. Yesterday.

I hate when bikers say "this is my old lady/old man" when they refer to their boyfriends/girlfriends. Yuck. That is so 70s. Its worse..its 60's!

The term "yummy" when used to desribe somehting other than food in the tummy.

Baby Daddy/Baby Momma - ghetto-fabulous terminology designed to scrape the paint of the walls.

Starting a sentence off with the word "dude" and ending it with the word "yo."
(ex. "dude, what's up?" or "I heard you broke up with your girl, yo.")


"You know what I'm sayin'" -- no I don't be quiet.

 

[mommyintn]

The term "yummy" when used to desribe somehting other than food in the tummy.

Like "Johnny Depp is so yummy"? I will not apologize for saying that! You know what I'm sayin?

 

[kaytieeldr]

The term "yummy" when used to desribe somehting other than food in the tummy.

Unless your The 1928 Fruitgum Company, in which case it's 100% acceptable ONLY as part of the lyric, "Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy".

 

[kaytieeldr]

You know what I'm sayin?

I don't. But if you'd said, "Dude, you know what I'm sayin, yo?" I'd have understood perfectly

 

[Mrs. Chamberlain]

"Alls I know"

 

[tinkerbell_xo]

"Going forward."

 

[paintnolish]

as in Beastie boys?


"you gotta fight...for your right..to parrrrrrtyy!!!!"

Two words: Brass. Monkey.
