Words you hate for no good reason.

[King of the Sandbox]

I'm talking about words that just irritate you in some odd way. Not necessarily because of the meaning, but just the word. And you can have a reason, it's just encouraged to be as random as possible.

Like for me, I hate "Wednesday."

It should be pronounced "Wed-ness-day". If not, then change the spelling to "Wendsday".

Also, any words with a silent k. Knife, knapsack, etc.

Why?!? Why are you there, K?!? YOU'RE NOT NEEDED! GO HOME!

*ahem*

Anyways, what words get you guys fired up?

 

[The Stonker]

Riddicule. I hate it and love it.

 

[troth]

Enough. Really? En-Ug-hh. Not En-Uff.

Also consternation. No reason for that one. I just hate it.

 

[Shockolate]

When people use internet terms in a very excited voice like "LOL OMG MY BOYFRIEND JUST TEXTED ME". Yes, I've heard people say that out loud.

On the other hand, I don't mind it when people say something Like "Lol" in a completely deadpan manner. I like to think this is because a lot of people use "Lol" as a default response to anything, regardless of what they actually feel.

I suppose I haven't actually answered the OP, so.......*flee*

 

[arsenicCatnip]

I don't hate words so much as pronunciation.

It's ess-PRESS-oh, not EX-press-oh. And LA-tay, not la-TAY. MOH-ka, not MOCK-ah.

Yeah. I've been a barista for way too fucking long, and I'm petty to boot.

jigga boo.

My dad calls certain kinds of music "jigga boo music". He's not racists or anything. He just categorizes things... oddly.

For some reason that word itches me under my skin.

 

[Gabanuka]

In'it, gay.

If the 'certain kinds of music' are rap and R&B... well... I'm pretty sure that's racist. Might explain your skin itch thing.

But, honestly, I know what you mean. My family is old south and some of the terms are still thrown around with no real malice anymore. It's just what they heard growing up. I'm sure our kids will get tired of rolling their eyes at all of us for saying "lulz" and "dubbuyuhtee-eff?", even after the internet has been stolen by future aliens and they're not relevant terms anymore.

This is really nitpicky, but for me it's the word "Flawless". I don't know why, but I think it is a really, really arrogant word. "Perfect", is another. Same deal.

 

[LongAndShort]

Yummy.

I hate that word more than all of Disney's minions put together.

No real reason, it just sickens me.

 

[photog212]

Monosyllabic should be monosyllabic.
And Phonetic should be spelled with a F.

 

[SweetLemonade]

Ridiculous.No apparent reason.

 

[Marine Mike]

"Mister" or the phrase "Hey you"
I swear for 4 months in Haiti all anyone ever said was "Hey you, hey you, give me money/candy/food/water". Even the peacocks turned against me and started saying "Hey you! Hey you!". If it weren't the presidential palace I would have shot them all (The peacocks) with beanbags.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

And Phonetic should be spelled with a F.

Agreed. The irony is what gets me. I wonder if the person who first spelled it out did it that way as a joke?

 

[S.R.S.]

Slang. It really gets to me.

 

[Fweeb]

Why is palindrome not a palindrome?! Argh!

 

[King of the Sandbox]

I hate the word 'alot'

I don't know why it bothers me as much as it does. But I just can't let it go.

Maybe because it isn't a word. Is that a good reason to hate it then??

It is one of a lot of reasons to hate it. But since it isn't technically a word, no points for you.

Just kidding! It's two words! Double score! /fistpump

 

[MalevolentStaircase]

Any of the words overprotective mothers say to their kids like tushie or something.

 

[Hellz_Barz]

When people use internet terms in a very excited voice like "LOL OMG MY BOYFRIEND JUST TEXTED ME".

OMFGDSGHRVDBHOWLONGCANTHISGETYUMND U!!!!!! MEDA A SPELN EROR S
its txtd, bf and jus silly, gosh.

OT: Mine would proably be "At the end of the day". Nothing wrong with it wish it could like it, But it's used so often.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

I hate English to begin with; for instance please read the sentences below

I Love to polish my Polish furniture.

They're going over there, with their ball.

I am going to see the eye doctor.

Two of us want to go to the arcade, but it was too late.

The affect of the poison, effeced my abilty to live.

Now do you hate English too?
