Do you have words that irritate you?

[Gibson 7]

Something about the word "moist" almost makes me hurl.

And why do all the people on movie and TV call realtors REAL uh tors?

Being from Nevada it would have to be the almost nationwide practice of saying Nevada wrong.The 'vad'part rhymes with mad.rad,cad,sad.Not odd,rod,cod,sod.Just a local pet peeve that bugs the hell out of us.:smile2:

I have a list of these words like no other.....but the best way to upset me is to say "Uh-huh" and the first part be long and drawn out...lol...

My kids do it to me to make me mad, I don't know why I hate it so, but I do.

Well, it started with my husband and me making fun of him, but anytime I hear anyone say "all the sudden" instead of "all of a sudden", it irritates me.

My way may not even be the right one, but it still bugs me when anyone says it not my way. LOL

I basically don't have one particular word. What "peeves" me is when I hear purposefully unsimilar dialect.

I hate the word 'items' I can't explain why but I can't stand when people refer to their stuff as items.

Also, the word 'pickles' often sends me into hysterics, no real explanation on that one either :rolleyes2:

Oh Lordy! I've got a list of words too! LOL What a funny thread!

Okay, here's just ONE of my pet peeves. Here in Ohio, people say that they "warsh" their clothes, "warsh" the car, etc. HUH??? Last I checked, Webster's clearly spells it WASH and is pronounced without an "R" !!!

Ugh!

I hate "My bad" and "nipple". In fact for years I couldn't even say "nipple". Having a baby cured that.

[Wheetsin 714]

I cringe with "cunt," (used in any way) "dick" (used as anatomy reference), and "tit" (used any way, but especially by a female). I really do not say nor can I stand to hear someone else say those words.

I don't like "comfy" - especially when people think it's "compfy".

And I don't like "month" anymore because for some reason I seem to have developed a speech impairment that makes me say "munt" no matter how hard I try... so until I fix it, I'm not saying the word anymore.

Exactly what I was trying to say!! Thanks!

[Gibson 7]

Ezma...nipple is one of my words too!!!! lol How funny is that?

I also cringe whenever I hear a word that has a p with a long u sound like pubic or pubescent. *shudders*

[Turler 6]

How 'bout "penetration". Ewwww! And "penis". What yucky words. LOL

[lessnless 1]

Gobbets. Nothing good ever ends up as a gobbet.

Grammatically, I hate the "I be" "He be" "We be" "They be" trend. Makes me want to smack complete strangers.

My boss will come into the office and ask for urgent stuff to be done 'ASP' instead of ASAP....

it starts to grind after a million times.....

In England there's a word that we use to refer to morons, I guess you guys in the USA would say jerks or whatever, our word is 'divvy' and it makes me want to puke. 'Div' I can just about manage but 'divvy' makes my skin crawl.

Cool thread, got me thinking of stuff rather than my painful gas 3 days post op :-)

I hate when people say Missour-uh instead of Missour-ee. There is an I on the end, not an a. It drives me nuts. I could almost understand from people who don't live here, but so many people who do live here still say Missour-uh.

I also hate the word panties. I don't wear panties, I wear underwear. Or if I'm being goofy, drawers. My five year old insists that girls wear panties and only boys wear underwear.
