Things people say that annoy you...

[Stepharoonie!]

But the one I absolutely despise......... AXE for ask

I'm with you on this one!!!

"Let me axe you sumptin!!"

 

[disney4us2002]

Some of those mentioned and also

"of" instead of "have", as in "I could of gone to the store" rather than "I could have gone to the store". I believe this is a spelling error of "could've" but still I hate to read it.

chicken pops - although with the shot and less outbreaks I seldom hear this one anymore, thank goodness.

I could care less when you really mean you "couldn't" care less.

I don't think I've heard this from anyone except my dh (lucky me) but he says "sosal" security rather than the sh sound in social security.


On the first page I'm not getting what "in'nt it" translates to or from??

 

[elliemae1192]

"nook-yoo-lar" instead of nuclear. Drives me crazy.

It's become so accepted that even our President says it. Sheesh!

I think that's "isn't it" maybe?

 

[pw2pp]

"heighth" instead of height

and

"acrossed" instead of across

 

[preshi]

anxious rather than eager bugs the living daylights out of me!

i hate, hate the word "yummy." it's cute when someone under the age of 5 is saying it. but when a co-worker or my mother tells me their lunch was yummy, i want to stab myself in the ears

Here in NC the big saying for the natives is "might could". As in, "I might could get you something at the store."

Philadisney, I'm right there with you on that one!

My daughter used to butcher the word tummy when she was little. It came out "tunky". I STILL call it that. I'm sure people are listening to me and stabbing themselves in the ears.

My MIL says "ha-why-YA" instead of hawaii. Makes me crazy! But that could be a mother in law thing!

 

[Disney Doll]

Ambalance instead of ambulance. Axed instead of asked.

 

[Kimickey]

While in at McDonald's about a week ago, DH and I were in the drive thru and the cashier asked DH would he like to use his Credick Card feature or Debit. I looked at him and said did she just say "Credick Card"? Drives me crazy

 

[Charade]

I "brought" this at Walmart (meaning bought )..

That reminds me of what my in-laws say..

"store boughten"

 

[Charade]

a coworker uses "wan" (and he doesn't mean wide area network) in place of won.

"He wan the race".

 

[GlennandAnn]

Valentimes gets me too. I hate ofTen instead of often, moskaccioli instead of mostaccioli, irregardless, unorganized, and I knew a well educated guy who used to say absolupely instead of absolutely. And I agree, amazing is very overused.

I just thought of something else. What does "worsem" mean? One of my old niehbors used to say. Oh, boy Jason is just worsem. I would think you are just wrong all of the way around.

 

[MB MinnieGirl]

I was on a 1st date with a guy and when the waiter came to take our order he said, "For my entry I will have...." ENTRY?? Hellooo! I just wanted to ask him what he was having for an "exit."

The look on my face was not pretty.

 

[clh2]

Yeah...

But the one I absolutely despise......... AXE for ask

ITA - this one irks me to no end!

 

[goofygirl]

"could care less" instead of COULDN'T care less!

If you COULD care less, it means you STILL CARE!

"Wiff" instead of "with"

"gone missing" or "went missing". Its should really be phrased "The woman has been missing since Tuesday." Not "She went missing Tuesday." I am hearing "went/gone missing" more and more often, even on news shows.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Wow, lots of these must be regional, because most of them don't sound like anything I hear!!!
