Terms that annoy you

[MizTink]

i hate "what not".......
and my ex always says "simple like that". drives me crazy!
and "go with"

 

[PlutoLuvr]

Another vote for "yummy." Adults should be able to come up with a decent description!

"I seen" drives me up a wall.

Using "cent" as a singular instead of plural. "It cost him 75 cent for a candy bar."

sucks

 

[sunnyday123]

I seen
I done that
I been there

and then;
preggo, sammie, ressie, and the worst....Prolly!!! Do you not have the same keys we do? Type it out.

I hate the word "Tummy". I hate reading about how "my DD's tummy hurt". You are talking to adults, not 4 year olds. You can say her stomach hurt.

That and "chillaxin" really bug me.

But, I am guilty of saying many of the phrases here...

 

[sms]

"whatever" that really gets to me!

gal- I don't know why but I hate when someone calls me a "gal".

"what the hay"

 

[Disneefun]

Fab

Fabu (Any incarnation of "fabulous" makes me crazy because I worked with a woman who said it and its variants ALL THE TIME. "I'm going to the bathroom." "Fab, honey.")

Prolly (or probly). Probably is a 3 syllable word. Any attempt to shorten it makes me nuts.

I hear you on the "I seen" thing! My good friend says this ALL the time! She's an educated person, and she KNOWS that it's not proper English, but she says it out of habit. It makes me shudder every time I hear it!

A couple of other abbreviations or message board lingo that I can't stand: AF or Aunt Flo ...this just sounds SO gross to me! In my opinion, it is worse than just saying "my period". I also don't like the word Preggers. It just sounds dumb!

 

[krcit]

I'm so sick of hearing 'surreal'

 

[nmmom95]

ITA with
baby daddy, go with, prolly and my bad and would like to add,

kiddos

 

[paintnolish]

We're"besties" as in BFF. It's letter away from beasties.
I hate when people ask you to do something and say "please and thank you". It's like they can't take the time to thank you after you do it!

 

[HsvTeacher]

literally

My headache was so bad that I thought my head was going to literally explode.


Your head isn't going to explode. Stop being so dramatic!

 

[mum4jenn]

I have to agree with you on "baby daddy". I'm sorry to anyone on this board that uses it, but when I hear that term I think ghetto or trailer trash.

 

[tarheel618]

I hate the word TaTas. I hate those stickers on cars that say Save the TaTas

 

[alexensmom]

Along the lines of yummy.....yummo. Not necessarily directed at the originator, just cant stand hearing it.

 

[Disneyglobegirl]

"Ya know what I'm sayin" said after ever single sentence

No I really don't understand what you are saying ...why don't you explain it to me

 

[Tuffcookie]

Working at the PD, I hear "baby's daddy" a lot. Whenever I hear it I wonder why these "young ladies" can't see how it is a poor reflection on them!

They don't know any better.

 

[Liberty Belle]

"Have a good one!" or, even worse, "Have a good 'un!"

I also cringe at "Color me ________" (crazy, etc).

Oh I hate that. One of these days I just know I'm going to let loose with "Yes! I see what you're saying. Anyone with an IQ higher than that of an ant would see what you're saying!"
