What words do you absolutely HATE or make you wanna upchuck on your chucks…

Puss
Gauze
Often (when people pronounce it OFF-TEN)
Ooze

Oh and when people send a text or make a facebook post that says….

U R Kewl.

Shoot me now.

Richard Oct 5th 7:06 am

Wait…how else would you pronounce often?

bnldavid Oct 5th 7:09 am

In Wisconnie….we say

"Offin"

As in…I offin go to the bakery to get me some bakery.

Richard Oct 5th 7:13 am

I thought only the Appalachians said it like that because all their teeth are rotted out from meth.

C-pher Oct 5th 1:51 pm

I say it like that as well David.  Offin.

I hate irk for some reason…it just bothers me.

bnldavid Oct 5th 4:00 pm

According to Webster, it can go either way.

Main Entry: of·ten
Pronunciation:  of?n, often
Function: adverb

My mother would drive me nuts as a kid intentionally putting over emphasis on the T.

When did "t" become silent?

I say "off-tin" --so my "e" is a bit off. lol

I hate when people write "LOLZ" what the hell is that? Am I missing what the "z" stands for? B/c last time I knew, LOL stood for laughing out loud. Where the hell does the "z" come in at?

I just hate the way people are starting to write. I'm guilty of some, like writing "tho" but overall, it's minuscule compared the the slaughter of the english language now a days.

C-pher Oct 5th 6:29 pm

I hate when people do that stuff as well.  Like L8r or Where r u?  This Texting thing pisses me off.  When I text, I send out messages like I was sending an e-mail.  No shorthand.

bnldavid Oct 5th 9:16 pm

Now THAT is why I think highly of you Cpher.

I hate that shit too.

Take the time to type it out or don't bother.

moxie Oct 6th 12:12 am

peuce - ewww!

when people pronounce especially eck-spesh-lee (it's a mostly iowa thing, but it happens)

there are a bunch of other words that i don't like, but I can't think of any others right now

moxie Oct 6th 12:14 am

i alter between often and offin.

oh. i really dislike the names bubba and carl and carla and bernie. does that count?

Taz Oct 6th 12:35 am

I am so with you guys on the texting…I spell it all out.

Not a word, but a phrase that I HATE is "needless to say"...seriously….if it is needless to say, then why the f*ck are you saying it?

bnldavid Oct 6th 6:55 am

Favre.  *barfs*

Richard Oct 6th 7:16 am

I hate when people say "axe" instead of "ask".  It burns my ears.

C-pher Oct 6th 10:23 am

There's a thing up here in New England that REALLY PISSES ME OFF!

When someone says something like, "Man, think that the pizza is Emma's is the best around."

Then someone else will so, "So doesn't my Mom."  or "So don't I."

I look at them and say, "You don't?"  I always get a reply from them, "No, I do," or "Yes, she does."  They don't even know that they said it.

DRIVES ME NUTS!

When people say "we was…" or "he were…" As I've just graduated with a degree in English Language and Linguistics, I should be tolerant and accept that it's not wrong, it's just a change in usage… but it's wrong!

bnldavid Oct 9th 7:02 am

Okay…If you want to play that game.

"I goes"

"I gets"

"I says"

As in…."I goes to the grocery store and I gets some lettuce. And then then I says to the checkout girl, "Why is this lettuce so expensive?"

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

tj Oct 9th 3:57 pm

I won't even touch the usage wagon…. as a lit and linguistics major, I die a little inside everytime I hear that stuff LOL….

With particular words….. there is only one that I am thinking of…...

Volvo…. I hate that word,it makes me think people are always driving around in a vulva….. I even say volvo in a dirty fashion…

that's the one I think of off hand

d Oct 9th 8:46 pm

"I hate irk for some reason…it just bothers me."

Are you sure it doesn't irk you?

It doesn't have a drastic effect on me, but I get a little queasy when I hear the word "grassroots". I really don't know why.

Darlene Oct 9th 9:28 pm

"back in the back"  a southern thing I used to hear…

"dowhat?" another one…cannot stand it!
