I don't like 'so' when it is used 'I am so not' 'I so am'.

I also dislike abbreviations, especially 'hanky' and 'brolly'.

I also hate 'scrumptious,' 'delectable,' tiffin,' and 'splendid.'

What? What? What?

I would weep with raw joy if I heard a Korean ask me if my lunch was 'scrumptious' or 'delectable.'

They are a f-site better than delicious.

Personally I have a grievance with 'meeting', 'extrapolate' and 'ad-hoc'.

I've never heard that one, and didn't know what the hell it meant. Crikey, that's scary.

'Chillax.' Wow...that's like something Michael Scott would say, or perhaps a new deodorant spray.
It's the new 'hella.'
'Dude, you gots ta like hella chillax. Late; I'm outie.'

I know it's not a proper word, but I still shudder when I hear the phrase "Bennifer".
I also hate the words homogeneous and disciplanary regimes, especially when they are used in the same sentance.

Yeah, I just thought of Brangelina and TomKat after I went out following my last post. Showbiz gossip speak, the domain of the low and feeble-minded.

I'm not a big fan of 'smegma'...............but then again who is?

Is it smooth magma?....nah it's the stuff that collects at the end of one's bell-end.

Horrible word.

Also:

Blancmange

Quaff

and for some reason....and apologies for anyone who is named this; 'Siobh�n'. I mean come on....spell it how it sounds for the love of Sponge Bob

edit: Let be known that I do know 2 'Siobh�ns' and they are lovely girls. It's just the aesthetics of the word.

I think 'smeg' is one of the coolest words ever used. It can be used as an adjective, noun, verb, etc...

But personally I hate the word 'no'.

Honorable mentions for
*Oh my God! or the equally irritating Oh my God-uh!
*The phrases "When will you marry him?" or "Will you marry (to) him" when people ask about my boyfriend and I
*"Teacher"....I swear I want to put plastic bags over my students' heads when they screech that one out
*"Just because" It's not an answer DAMN IT!
*Nice-uh!
*Fighting

I just realized that I hate the sound "uh" when added for no good reason



yes yes yes and yes.....stomp this crap out in anyplace that you find it......
