Words you hate

Aluminum.

It's aluminIUM. Same way it's magnesium and calcium and potassium and sodium, because -ium is the suffix used for most metals.
DAMMIT!

fyi, aluminum is the original spelling. and the american chemical society uses that original spelling. also, do you not consider platinum a metal?

i hate the british equivalent of words.

moustache
flavour
theatre
aluminium

Sentences followed by"know what I'm sayin" like I didn't hear or understand.

I'm with Yetiman. As long as you don't say econoline, you're OK by me.

Experiential

Someone once said "right onskies" to me. After a moment of stunned silence, I punched them im the face.

when people omit the article before words....

"Let's go to Rustler" as opposed to "let's go to the Rustler"

that makes me so angry.

What I really hate is when people append a possessive "s" to the end of every proper noun. "Yo, we goin to Subway's, then Target's, then Mt Baker's"

I'm not fond of the word "Reno" either.

---

That's very common around here. Poeple(used to) work at Ford's and shop at Kroger's.




work

employer

rain


Height is not Heigth, there is no "th" sound.

Proactive

I fucking hate that word.

Codependent.

Thats a dumb fuck word to boot.

1. "Going forward, ..." like WTF? :cussing:

2. "Honestly, ..." implies that if you don't employ this qualifier, then you're lying to me otherwise. That's more reassuring.

------------------
I do love "The important thing to remember is ..." in speech. Sort of like photo-slutting, but only doing it in speech. Sez, "Hey, listen up brothers and sisters, because here comes some dope shiz.":cool:

You'd get the same in the UK. I'd find it odd if the road numbers where used without a definite article.

I hate when people say "Would you like to come with?" instead of "Would you like to come with me?"

To expand it to phrases....

I hate "Would you like to... [insert something somone wants you do that doesn't benefit you at all]." My mum uses it all the time, pisses me off no end.

edg

Supercalafragialistickexpialadocious- I hate that word and that umbrella floating bitch that says it all the fucking time!

I also hate

"Tight" when used as a description for how good or cool something is
" you know what I mean" also pronounced "nah mane" by rappers and used 20 times in one sentence.
"Anywhooo" already mentioned but jeesus that one sucks
"partake" awefull
"Whatever" or "whateva"
"work" hate it
"REEERRR" Like a pissed off cat. You know when people say it cause you are mad and it just makes you more mad. I hate that one with a passion.



I must mention that I think the word Gnar and Gnarly are the best words ever and anyone who disagrees is just wrong. Period end of discussion:) :the_finge

I also hate when people high school age or older refer to someone their age as a kid.
