Words you hate

**Altaholic** · 04-09-2007, 10:56 AM

I love how George Carlin (I think it was early 90's stand up) say he hates he phrase "More than Happy" saying that how can you be More than happy??, we had send him to the mental institution because he was more than happy.

'dude' can be overplayed. "Is everything ok?" from waitstaff. Ok, to me, is just 'ok'. How is everything? gives me a chance to actually reply. Memorably, from a restaurant i've somehow forgotten, 'so, is every little thing just perfect?', set a really high bar, and, actually, it was perfect...and yhey were tipped accordingly for an awesome dining experience...

it drives me nuts when people try to use words to sound more intelligent and they use them wrong, which normally makes them sound stupid, stick to the words you know what they mean or find out what a word means before you go using it in a conversation.

why do most women not like the word panties?

**boarddad** · 04-09-2007, 11:28 AM

as in, "That's a whole nother thing." It's another thing, not a whole nother thing. UURRRGGHHH!!!

Oh, and those of us that add "the" before the freeway numbers do it to annoy those of you that don't

skivvies, which may or may not be spelled correctly. Why can't they just be underwear...? Boxers? Briefs? Anything but skivs... and where did that come from anyway...?

Audit. Worst word you'll ever hear.

Unthaw

Pronouncing the "T" in often.

Dope -its what my mother called it so I wouldn't smoke! Give it a better name cause there are so many other ones!!

my 3 big pet peeves of words are from when I worked at a collections agency about 9 years ago. They seem to be pretty regional.

aks (instead of ask)"can I aks you a question?"
dun(instead of don't)"I dun have that"
Ain't(instead of isn't)

and the all time grammatical highlight of my collections career was when this line was thrown at me while calling some guy in Illinois. He sounded like a total redneck

"Can I aks youz a question bout dat? Cuz I ain't dun got none Ayen Tee bill"

Translation: "Can I ask you a question about that? I don't have an AT&T bill"

This was right after calling a guy in Alabama that proudly bragged to me that he handled his brother's bills because he "dun graduated 6th grade" and could read..unlike his brother, who only made it through 3rd grade.

**Tippster** · 04-09-2007, 03:16 PM

"Patchouli" - the word and the smell make me homicidal.

**boarddad** · 04-09-2007, 03:18 PM

How do you heat water that is already hot?

Sounds like you were talking to Jethro.

**SKISC** · 04-09-2007, 03:29 PM

I hate when people put the word "the" in front of a store. The big one here is, " I am going down the the Wal Mart at lunch" or I am going to the Food Lion.

Ha. Loaf. Me and the roomies in college used to use that as a "replacement word." As in "That sausage party last nite was fucking loaf." or "That line was so loaf, I almost nutted my gore tex."

We also liked to use "dick".

Talk about throwing people off. "Hey, anyone seen the phone directadick?"

As for words I hate...nukular. Oh, and edit to add "irregardless." Both drive me up a fucking wall.

**RedWolf** · 04-09-2007, 03:38 PM

I know "vaca" was mentioned, but I hate it too when people shorten words that are not exactly difficult to say. Whenever I hear someone say "whatev," I have to put my hands in my pocket, or I'll smack them.

**ghcaz** · 04-09-2007, 04:12 PM

I love the word exacerbate.

Type it all with your left hand.

**Tap** · 04-09-2007, 04:26 PM

prefunk....short for ''pre-function''

as in...''Before the fundraiser, we're going to prefunk over at Julies house''

die yuppie scum, die!

**Benny Profane** · 04-09-2007, 04:31 PM

"impact" as a verb, when one should use "affect".

The weather imacted the event.

This started about 15 years ago, and seems tobe in rampant use, now.

even worse than that is when people say "sick nasty"

i want to kill this kid who says "sick nasty" constantly as a replacement for "cool"

Good one! I always thought it was axe, as in, "Do you know how to ???"

"I dun no. I guess you gotta axe somebody."

I can't stop thinking of axe-weilding homicidal maniacs.

Some more words George Carlin hates; "Pre-Board,... Does this mean you get on before you get on???"

"You may be told you are on a 'Nonstop Flight', .... I insist my flight stop, preferably at an airport. It's those sudden housing developments and cornfields that would seem to ruin my day."
