Terms that annoy you

[HLAuburn]

Seriously, what does that mean?

As is "probably"...

 

[DisneyBamaFan]

"Pooh sized" - seriously, if you are overweight and know it, stop thinking of that problem in cute ways. Deal with it before it kills you. There are a lot of people out there who will miss you when you are gone.

 

[bambii]

will sometimes use "Im HIP" come to think of it he hasnt used it in awhile

oh yeah....that one does annoy me!

"Walt would roll over in his grave"

No, he wouldn't. He was a business man, he would understand why prices keep going up.

I am annoyed when couples refer to each other as "babe" constantly. Oddly enough, the use of other affectionate nicknames, like "hon," doesn't grate on my nerves as much as "babe" does.

This one annoys me too. But the other words annoy me just as much. I'm fine when it's said occasionally but really? do you need to end every sentence with babe, hun, pookey, and so on? Why can't it just be "do you want to drive?"

Though it's not a term, I hate it when people say "he/she would have wanted it that way." How do you know? That person is dead now, regardless of how much you knew the deceased, you still cannot channel the dead.

I hate it when people reply using "meh". It's not a word. If you can't take the time to express how you feel, don't bother replying.

 

[emer95]

I don't like when people quote someone on a message board, and then just write underneath it,
"This."
I guess it's the new "ditto." It bugs me.

 

[laurafergie]

Using "gay" as in "That's so gay" or retarded as in "Don't be a retard." Both are so offensive to me that even I, normally quite inhibited, will comment on it.

Baby bump

furbaby

My teens say this and it drives me up the wall.

 

[Disneycrazy!!]

I use furbaby all the time. My little tzu is treated like a family member and she is our "baby".

 

[OceanAnnie]

I think it's safe to say a lot of the terms are used quite a bit daily, by a large number of us here on the DIS. I've seen a term or too I might have used. Does this mean that we (collective we) are an annoying and annoyed bunch?

Both of these really bug me too.

 

[OK!]

I guess you don't know many baby daddy's? Because that is a perfect word.

This. It's such a common word in the vernacular that the actual, by-the-book definitionof the term is irrelevant. Same with BFF and cool. You (and I!) may not like it, but they're probably here to stay.

The only terms that really annoy me are cutesy "created" terms like ressie, preggers, Cindy's castle, vacay (especially when spelled "vaca," which means "cow" in Spanish), etc. Ugh, people, how old ARE you?

And this isn't so much a "term", per se, but it drives me nuts now that some people are adding extra letters to the ends of words to denote extreme feeling, like "OMG I loveeeeeeeee that song!" Um, no.

 

[krcit]

It's always annoyed me when people say "Right on."

How about "Keep on Truckin'!"


My friend always says "and so on and so forth"

 

[OK!]

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 have to admit I do use the term "puddin'" but only because it makes me laugh. That's the only word I drop the G from, though...apart from "Soarin'". I KNOW my mom knows the correct name of the attraction (she's at WDW about every other week, seemingly), but sometimes she slips and calls it "Soaring" and it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

 

[OK!]

Just thought of another one: "Efforting," as in, "We're efforting to get the Prime Minister on the phone right now." No. It's "trying" or "attempting."

 

[AKL_Megs]

Anywho.

I thought of this as I fell asleep last night.

 

[OK!]

and Yummy--whenever I see a post by someone saying something is "soooo yummy"...I think they must be talking to a child because an adult can't possibly be telling other adults that something is "yummy"

I totally misread this at first and thought that you were complaining about adults who refer to other adults as being "yummy." I agree wholeheartedly with that. I much prefer the term "delicious" or, in extreme instances, "succulent."

Baby daddy/momma, anywho, my bad, boi (really that's easier than spelling boy?) maybe it's just cute I also hate bff, prolly, using a z instead of s, the term cougar, dat, chillaxin, sup, aight, I'm sure there's more just can't think. Guess I need to chillax.
