1) Gay and retarded when used a a derogatory term (I'm not gay/lesbian, but it's so irritating when people use that like it's something bad! I love gay people, and I know some pretty intellectual people who are actually retarded.)
2) Retarded as a derogatory term.
3) Fag or queer
4) Douche
5) "_____ much?" (i.e. "Jealous much?") It sounds so... STUPID. I can't even begin to describe how idiotic I think this sounds.
6) "Blog" used to piss me off, too, but now I'm kind of used to it.

"Delicious" is a word that drives me ballistic. It's just... stupid. It means nothing. It irritates me.

:::takes a breath:::

If a food has to label itself that way, it must not be.

Count how many times it's used in commercials.

I once saw a Gravy Train dog food commercial that called the steamy, meaty morsels "delicious". Now when I hear or see that word, I think it must taste like dog food.

Random.

People who say this don't typically know what it means. They say Random when they mean Arbitrary.

Like when something is "out-of-the-blue" they say "Wow, that was Random!"

No, it was arbitrary. Not random.

So - I have to teach Korea kids how to write essays in English and I hate when they start sentences with the word so. No matter how many times I correct it, they still do it. They also say "so-so" a lot to mean something in the middle of good & bad. Again, too much use of so for me.

It's the same problem. I hear 'like' so much, it's not even funny. My friends speak as such: "And then he like, you know, like..." Oh my god, like, that is like, so annoying. Like, reading phrases pathetic like, oh my god, ya know? *Loads of facial expression drama* Ok. They don't really speak like that, but I know people who do.

I also have a problem with the overused adjectives, like 'awesome', 'cool', 'nice', 'fun', 'stuff' etc. These words are utterly tasteless and unoriginal.

Hehe. . . I trained my sister to stop using "like" because it annoyed me so badly. I would literally stop her three times in a sentence- whenever she used like for something other than a comparison.

As for y'all- I can't say much. I was raised using it and don't really notice that I do.

I hate that I use 'like' when I speak. I would even prefer to be silent for the half-second that it would take me to come up with my next word.

Other words:
1. can't - Please, please, please use cannot instead. And I have a small attachment to the use of shan't or shall not.
2. impact (as a verb) - This just sounds stupid. Save it for vehicles, baseballs through windows, or wisdom teeth
3. f**k - ugly word, often ugly meaning, use it if you want, just not around me
4. ambivalent - learn the difference between being torn and just being apathetic if you want to use this word

Misspellings tend to bother me more than misuse of words, but that's a different subject.

I would have punched myself in the eye if I had phrased the last part of the previous sentence, "but that's a whole nother subject." "Nother?" What planet is that from? My guess is Idiotia, in the Moronian Galaxy.

"Irregardless" bothers me a lot, too. Sometimes when someone says that, I'll say, "Not without regard, huh?" They usually don't realize that I'm pointing out a grammatical mistake, though.

INTJoe

03-11-2008, 08:12 PM

Yeah, Irregardless just sounds stupid. Apparently it has become part of the lexicon. Every once in a while the English language adopts really dumb words. But supposedly, irregardless and regardless now mean the same thing. :huh: Irregardless comes from a hybrid of mid-Century White Trashian for "Irrespective" and "Regardless".

"could care less" is a phrase that needs to be phased out. If you "could care less" then that means you actually care. The phrase should be "couldn't care less".

Alright, but I still like to define it as "pass on the fists."

You spelled barely wrong :undecided:

Not necessarily... You could use "bearly" to express some relation of manner, circumstance, degree, condition, or means of being a bear. For example, "In much the same way as Yogi before me, I like to bearly steal pic-a-nic baskets." :laugh:

I had an old dictionary once that had a preface talking about the origins of English, and had an excerpt from something written in Old English from over 500 years ago. the word asked used to be written 'axode', and in Middle English it was closer to "aksed". I think it's funny that some people are unknowingly going back to the old way of saying it. I still think it's ghetto though.

I don't have much of a problem with words themselves, and I'm rather fond of "leetspeak" when used in humor. I often tell my friends (with tongue firmly in cheek) that they just got "pwned." It carries the message in a humorous way I think.

I do have a problem with people trying to use words they shouldn't be using and screwing them up.

Irregardless bothers me (as some have already posted about), but it doesn't end there.

- For all intensive purposes (WHAT?)
- Mute point (sigh)
- Can I ax you something? (That depends, which 'something' of mine are you planning to 'ax'? Can I mace you if I don't like it?)
- You loose (Thank god I'm not tight.)
- Could of (Where is 'Could' of?)

I dislike misused apostrophes as well, that's a big pet peeve of mine. Just omit the apostrophe if you're not sure where it's supposed to go or where it's not.

- It get's me there. (No it doesn't.)
- That is it's toy. (That is it is toy?)
- Smoker's welcome! (I see that kind of stuff on signs a lot. Is it the smokers that are welcoming, or is the whole place just dedicated to the task of welcoming smokers?)

Finally, the grand daddy pet peeve of them all:

-Towards (This word NEVER needs an S at the end of it. There is no difference between "Toward" and "Towards" the proper form is without the S, though the S is slipping into common usage, it's just more useless stuff to tack on to things that aren't needed.)

I'm a nit I guess.

Holy Crap this is scary how similar INTJs can be! I thought I was the only one who noticed this. Also some people say "Forwards" instead of "Forward". As in "We're going to be facing forwards..." Or maybe they're going to be facing four words on the blackboard??? I dunno...

Another one I hate is "Anyways". Why the S? Just say "Anyway." Saying "anyways" just sounds soo stupid.

I'll add "Tough road to hoe" to that list. I guess asphalt would be pretty difficult to hack up with a hoe, though.

"Let me ax you a question" would make a pretty bad ass one-liner right before chopping someone's head off. Apart from that one specific circumstance, I hate the phrase.

I think leet speak can be funny if used ironically. If you know what I mean by that. When used seriously it makes me want to kill.

"Irregardless" and "For all intensive purposes" make me want to smash bitches as well. What is an intensive purpose? And "irregardless" would mean "with regard;" the opposite of how it is normally used.

And the use of "could of" should be punishable by death.

It is "for all intents and purposes", not "for all intensive purposes". There is nothing wrong with the saying.

Y'all or yousans (said in and around Pittsburg, PA that I know of) instead of you all or all of you or everyone, everybody. Even you all might be considered questionable. y'all is often used when talking to or about one person, as if that person were mutiple beings.

A y'all (spelled differently), to me, is a boat.

Gone Missing. How does one "go" or "went" missing? You are either missing or you are not. It is a steady state of being and not a process. I mean, was the thing totally found and then went say 25% missing implying 75% found, then went 50% missing/50% found, then 75% missing and therefore 25% found and then finally 100% missing?

Something "is" missing.

Gone Missing.

It's also redundant... "It's gone. Missing. Not here anymore. I don't know what else to tell you, buddy." :laugh:

That reminds me-- I detest the phrase "Go it alone." You can't go something. You can go on it alone. You can go for it alone. For all I care, as a colloquial synonym for said, you can go, "It alone." But you cannot go something.

I also hate the word "utilize." It means the same thing as "use," it starts with the same sound as "use," it ends with the same sound as "use," but its middle is just a wad of superfluous letters and syllables.

Since y'all are talking 'bout words anyway, trot on over to the newly formed limericks threads to cheer on the competitors and their token neutral Swiss (me)! For the record, I hate it when people say "I seen" instead of "I saw."

I hate impact when it is misused.

It is a fine word in itself, but people are using it as a replacement for effect. It seems that people no longer care to learn the distinction between effect and affect, so they incorrectly replace them with impact.

"I want to impact the community."

Well, they will not be happy about it.

Well. I hate it when anyone somehow thinks they are the bigger man/woman by saying "Ok" and not carrying on the argument because they are wrong. So basically conversation enders!

It's very irritating when you know they are wrong.

But sometimes you might have to do exactly that yourself. When a person refuses to reason, there comes a point when he/she is just wasting your time.

Words I hate:

1. "alot" as opposed to "a lot"-acknowledge the space between.
2. catsup/ketchup-aaaarrrrggghhhh just agree on either catsup or ketchup.
3. The incorrect useage of your (as in, your dead).
4. Misunderestimate.
5. Excessive references to "dinner" like the king of Hyrule in those CD-i games.

"You dare bring (dinner) to my lair, YOU MUST DIE!"

When I was six or so.. i hated the word people. I remember there being a pole, like a flag pole nad twirling around it for a long time chanting pea pole pea pole pea pole and being very very annoyed at the word. I have no idea why. it made sense at the time.

Now the word meal annoys me. sit down to have a meal... or to feed.. it sounds so organic in a barn yard kind of way. bone meal, worm meal.. mushed up bits of junk... horrid connotations.
