Words that bother you

[Smokeycat]

So I probably derailed this thread right from the start from what my initial intention was by including the C U Next Tuesday comment.

I really wasn't looking for this thread to be about common words that offend many people (racist, sexist, vulgar, etc.) We all know what those words are. I was thinking more along the lines of "moist". A word that's not supposed to be dirty or bother someone, but does. I've just met quite a few people that are bothered by words I don't think they should.

Words like surge, or thrust. Although I do enjoy the discussions about words used incorrectly too.






p.s. - This thread also wasn't started because of the recent discussions related to hair color. In all honesty, I have a friend who says she has three words that drive her nuts, moist being one them. I'm trying to gather potential candidates for the other words so I can be a pain in the ass.

This website may give you some ideas to try. http://hotword.dictionary.com/gross-sounding/

We have a lot of words that I noticed drive people nuts in different states. We call dinner (night meals) dinner and my grandparents in Colorado call it supper, lunch to them is dinner. It amazes me the difference in word across state lines. We get into arguments all the time over the words. Another one is y'all. For some reason when a city person says this to me it just drives me insane lol

I've looked through all the words here and not been bothered by many. I guess the only word that I can think of that botheres me is co*k. I don't feel like killing puppies when someone says it, it just annoys me. And only when it's used in a sexual reference. *shrugs*

AK I am with you on the words but then not much bothers me

[chuckorlando]

Ok, never thought I would agree with you on anything EVER! But that is about the most annoying thing ever. If they can't say Ask how can they say a$$hole? Maybe it's axehole instead? Watching peoples court I swear I cuss at the people there more than I have ever cussed at anything else in my life. "It's ASK you numbnuts!"

My bf's dad is an english major and he speaks very well, but he says STEER-roids. lol

I work at a hotel, and one of the MOST common things I hear is "Can I ask you a question?" or its just "Um..I have a question.."
JUST ASK THE QUESTION! Pleaaaase!

I really despise the C U Next Tuesday word. Although I will admit to using it when describing one ex-daughter in law and another son's girlfriend. When I say that word, my husband knows not to let either one near me...lol

I can't stand the word "got" or any version of it, "gotten" for example. Doesn't mean I don't use it, but it's probably the ugliest sounding word in the language.

"Good morning." " F__king don't talk to me til noon, B__ch!, just shut your cock holster!" <--- me in the morning. I HATE morning time, and anything associated with it.

cant stand when people pronounce library li-BERRY

 

[Laurie]

I can't STAND the "P" word.....anything else if fn fine w/ me. Lubricate or lub is a weird word though...seems to have a lot of sexual meaning more now than it did 30 years ago....although I don't really remember hearing it back then...

When people overuse the word "actually".

"Actually, I do know what you're saying"
"Actually, I think I will go the mall"
"Actually it's interesting you say that cause I actually did that the other day"
