Terms that annoy you

[DisneyMomx7]

Hate - Baby Daddy, Preggers, Sammies, Ressies, Whatever, and most of all I just cringe when I hear someone say ain't!

 

[hulagirl87]

I hate when people say "Thanks much!" I'm a fan of Thanks so much myself...

And "my bad" and "ridonkulous" instead of ridiculous. sigh...

 

[Wonderlandmom]

"Transparent" is SO overused. AH!!

I hate Prolly and Baby Daddy too!

Google-fu annoys me to no end.

"Can someone find a resource on how to remove the gasoline smell from my husband's clothes, my Google-fu is failing me now."

Oh , please, you are not the master of Google and it is seriously NOT THAT HARD to even find one resource on the Internet. Yes, there are tricks to narrowing down your sources, but still.

It's like were all Zen masters at everything we do. Please. Just admit that you don't know how to look something up. Don't relate or even equate something to "fu-ness." or maybe admit that your too lazy to read though an entire webpage all because you want "GASOLINE SMELL" to be in red letters, highlighted for ya.

Bond - as in "when Dh comes home, from 8-8:30 is his time to bond with the baby". I hate that people have to put a title on everything, including just plain old spending time with your family. Kind of like Oprah's "Ah ha" moment - she's always attaching some word to something ("I call that a......moment")

 

[iwrbnd]

When my over forty yr old friends call each other "peeps". Seriously?

And I don't know why this bothers me but I hate it when people are interviewed on tv and call their cars "automobiles". "They got in my automobile and drove away." Bugs me. Don't know why.

Oh, and I hate it when people put "lol" after just about every phrase they type.

 

[minkydog]

Pronunciations that eliminate the final G in words such as "puddin." My kids know that drives me crazy and will pull it out in the car. Too southern! Though I am okay with "ya'll."

.

I guess ya'll better not be comin' over to my house then. We're dyed in the wool, southern born and bred.

I hate "you know what I'm sayin'?" Argh. Every other sentence. And improper English. Ugh. "My baby daddy brought some diapers to da house, you know what I'm sayin'? And he did'n e'en bring me no lottery tickets,you know what I'm sayin'? Who does he think he is? He ain't nuthin', you know what I'm sayin'? He just a loser!"

And don't even get me started on "male" and "female." I don't get that at all. What happened to calling someone a man or woman. I can kinda see using them if the other word you would choose from was off-limits ("I caught him red-handed with another female.") But I don't get when it's used to describe people in casual conversation. Why wouldn't you say "The lady(or woman) in the downstairs apartment watches my kids in the afternoon" instead of "The female downstairs keeps my kids."?

 

[MizTink]

wow, i can't believe i forgot this one.....
teens that say someone got raped. (not literally)

i've heard it a few times, and from what i gather so far, it's like when you would say someone was dissed(?sp), or screwed over. it just makes my skin crawl.
i was reminded of how old i am when i jumped all over someone for saying that. i was soooooo offended and questioned if they had any idea what they were saying???? the whole group just looked at me like i was crazy & told me not to take it so serious. i FORDID my kids from using the term i know, good luck, right?! but, like i told them, I BETTER NOT EVER HEAR IT COME OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS!!!

 

[Pakey]

On the dis, I hate the abbreviations that others have mentioned: ressies, sammies, etc.

One that I hear a lot in real life because of where I live is "getting off the car". You don't get off a car unless you are sitting on the hood; you get out of a car.

 

[CathrynRose]

Mine are 2 phrases that just seem to be way too over used (and just annoy me!)

Thrown under the bus.

and

It is, what it is.

I don't know why, but those 2 phrases make me cringe.

ETA - thought of two more.

I'm not gonna lie - when used in a weird way, something you wouldn't lie about. "I'm not gonna lie, this ice cream is sooooo good" Why would you lie about it? My kids do this a lot. It annoys me. Sometimes they'll even double it up. "I'm not gonna lie, this ice cream is sooooo good, I'm not gonna lie" It's weird.

And

Not so much.... i.e. : I like the color pink. Blue, not so much....

 

[paintnolish]

"I'm just saying" as a way to take the blame off of yourself after or before saying something bad. Look, these words coming out of my mouth have no meaning. I am just talking...except for the fact that I just called you stupid/fat/ugly, etc.

 

[sunnyday123]

oooh...thougt of another one!

I work with a woman who starts every sentence with: "So I says..."

 

[Deb & Bill]

Any word that they cut the end off and add -ie or -ies.

"Too die for" - way over used, especially on the Restaurant Board. Nope, sorry, it might be good, but I'm not going to die over it.

 

[cinmell]

I agree with pretty much everything posted here.
Baby daddy

disrespect as in "DON'T DISRESPECT ME!"


I'd also like to add "it is what it is" and "not for nothing."

 

[BellePrincessBelle]

Baby Daddy & Baby Mama & My Bad are my biggest pet peeves.

 

[HLAuburn]

What about "I could care less..."?

If it's possible that you COULD care less, than maybe it's a bigger issue than you think!

Shouldn't you say "I could NOT care less..."?

 

[krcit]

I thought of another one! When people call a criminam a 'gentleman' As in "I saw the gentleman go in the bar and open fire on all the patrons" Um, that's not a gentleman!

 

[Disneycrazy!!]

I hate when someone says "Like, You know?" after every other word.
"Like, we are going to Disney World, like you know, in a few months. It should like be fun, like you know?"

I hate when people say "Peace out!"


My mother in law says "Youins" "Are youins going to the store? aghhhhh!!!
Oh and she and my stepdaughter say Crick instead of the word creek.

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

"... and such"

That's the one that really stands out for me and I think it sounds stupid; as if it's something a 6 year old says. When you're an adult, you say "etc."



When there isn't a 'g' said or written after a word in which the 'g' will follow an 'in'. As in datin/dating, screamin/screaming, etc., it's so annoying! Are you too lazy to say or type the 'g' or something? I don't understand it.

 

[Liberty Belle]

"... and such"

That's the one that really stands out for me and I think it sounds stupid like something a 6 year old says. When you're an adult, you say "etc."

I'm not sure I've ever said et cetera.
