"Good girl" especially when said by middle aged men to their co-workers. It makes my skin crawl.

"On the sauce"

****ing hate it.

I imagine this way of being proud drinking huge amounts of poison.
It may be biased, but I always picture people who use this word, to do nothing but drink alcohol every weekend, while shouting at a game in a pub.

I agree. Same with "on the piss"

The Hard Word

Adamantium

"Ignorant" in the wrong context. Usually said by those who are the most "ignorant"

My brother uses this wrongly the whole time. Any time he's insulted or disagrees with us on a slight issue, it's an immediate affront to him. He then refuses to fill us in the facts. A refusal to engage with the other, it's as bad as your a "NAZI". A dead end word , and it does nothing to move a conversation forward, It ends one.

Let's get this straight

You're "ignorant", when you do not want to see the facts of a situation

You're "ignorant", when you refuse to be intellectually honest and consider and answer the other side's argument.

You're don't a define a person as "ignorant" when you don't like what the person is saying

Religious people saying you're ignorant of the facts.....REALLY NOW?

It's a victim card to protect the ego, when there there isn't a bleeding victim in sight.

Periwinkle!

The word baltic makes me sick.

peewee_44

Not a word but drives me mental when I read or hear. Haters are always gonna hate. ...

Using the word "attacked" when someone has been verbally belaboured. Not the same.

And it's seriously exploded since the Oscars thing. So annoying.
Especially because it's always used in a way that's overly jovial, or like it's winking at something..

It can also mean that one simply does not know something, and because of that I've called people ignorant in a straightforward, innocent way. But other meanings are more popular I suppose, so they got offended.

The word is a hate worthy deformed cousin of 'shambolic', but the action it describes has its merits.

Prepping for something. Prep Exams. Prep prep pep :mad:

Peppa Pig. more incipient than bosco ever could manage

Pleasure

It's fine as part of normal sentences, but when meant in a sexy way it just makes me cringe.

wispa9

Tummy, especially when I hear adults saying it. I've always thought it's such a childish word!

Literally.


It literally drives me mad

Ring4Fea

"Awkward" as misused to describe Zooey Deschanel characters or confrontational comedy routines. So called copy - writers for media companies should put down their twitter feed and pick up a thesaurus.

I hate the word 'moist' it's sick!

I really hate it when people use the internet to complain about their dislikes.

hatrickpatrick

The word "slut" and any of its many derivatives. People who believe that somebody else's sex life is a reason to look down on or disrespect them sicken me to my core.

Emo (kindergoth is more accurate)

Zaftig (because it's now misused as per "curvaceous". Rebel Wilson and Miriam Margoyles are not zaftig. Jennifer Coolidge is zaftig. )

Vincent Vega

I've seen this numerous times in 'animal attacks human' articles, but I've always found it curious.

The phrasing 'the animal/dog was subsequently destroyed.'

Why 'destroyed'?
Is 'put down' not emphatic enough?
Does the animal have to be completely obliterated before we are satisfied and/or put at ease?

when people say "ish" at the end of a word, because they want to sit on the fence can't make up their fúcking minds

There is an exception though, sometimes people portray cnutish behaviour.

'Snog'

Ok, firstly, we have our own many many words for 'french kissing' each other. We have 'meet', 'shift' 'score' ... ... ... ok so that's apparently all we've got. But there's three fairly strong words, all with their own rich and and illustrious heritage, I'm sure.

But 'snog'? Secondly it is just an awful awful word onomatopoeiaically. I'd meet someone, I'd even shift someone if I happened to be in a field somewhere with a cow shed nearby, I'd score someone if I wasn't so apprehensive about the disambiguation in terms of whether I'd be getting a kiss or a wrap of smack (I'm from Tallaght)... But it would be a cold hard day in hell before I'd ever be enticed by the idea of snogging someone. Conjures up sensations of phlegm and coughing and, to be frank, respiratory illnesses of all sorts.

No.

When people talk about their partner.

They're your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife.

Why not just say that?

In the same way, using mong. Says a lot more about the speaker than the subject.

I'm the same with people saying "capper".

I haven't heard someone use it in a long while though.

Also hate when people say pooped for when they're tired. Makes it sound like they've sh@t themselves.

Cuppa. People who say they're going to have a 'cuppa' are so annoying

Vagina.

Sounds way more unpleasant as a word than it does as an experience.

In fairness, vagina sounds a lot better than scrotum... I'm sure some comedian had a gag about that years ago, something about 'if genital names were place names', can't remember the details!

Fester/festering

Calling biscuits 'biccies', 'would you like a little biccy love?' Shudder

Same with calling sausages 'saussies'! Bleugh!

People using 'wha' at the end of sentences.
That 'ah here leave it out' line drives me up the walls.

Brilliant. there are two threads about brilliant quotes in AH now. Why does everything have to be exaggeratedly good.

A Neil Degrasse Tyson clip keeps popping up in my Facebook feed where he "Destroys" climate deniers. He does nothing of the sort but people can't seem to deal with a video called "here's a nice explanation"

And finally, people who talk like children e.g. calling a computer "puter". It make me want to punch them in the balls/gee.
