Words You can No Longer Use
We all have words that, when we hear them, we get really pissed off. Please post your list of words that you hate so that we can make this fine establishment even better and not use those words from now on. So:
I guess that's it. Now, the words food and boxes are common words and I didn't always hate them. Sometimes it's the way someone says a word that makes you hate it. That's the case for those two. |

That's currently what I have in English (well, I can stand the use of it, if you must). I would, however, have quite a large list in Finnish :P |
Oh and "deoderant", because it's so misleading a word! It doesn't actually eliminate the smell, it just replaces it with something ten times as foul. I insist on calling it "reoderant".

How often does the term "hodge-podge" come up in everyday conversation? I'll try to refrain from using it in future. The other two on your list intrigue me. What pronunciations of "Food" and "Boxes" do you find offensive? |

--ghetto used as an adjective
--sorry (I can't stand apologizing and for some reason I can't stand when people apologize to me) --woot (or the more common woot-woot) --wicked! used as an exclamation --God used as a proper noun (I kid, I kid) |
If you are talking about Celtic the football team then it's Cell -tic if you mean Celtic as in a the Race of people then it's Kel-tic.
|
What about Po-Tah-toe or Po-Tae-Toe?

What's so bad about "Wicked!"? It's such a nice, expressive word. Perfect for an exclamation. - :D :D :D :D :D :D :D |
I can't stand it after seeing Mr Deeds. Every five minutes "Wicked Awesome!" or something. Got on my nerves.
I make it through all the Harry Potter stuff, but I cringe when I hear the word-that-shall-not-be-named. |
Franchise -- as pertaining to videogame licenses, as though they were a "restaurant/business franchise opportunity!", and any schmuck with a few $100K could make a game based on it. Like we see 23 Subway restaurant franchises pop up in an area. We won't see 23 different Halo games on the market at any one time. Franchise... I die a little inside each time I see the word used in that way.

Good one.
|
--The Industry, referring to Hollywood or the Film Industry (yes, cue from Adaptation, but it does get to me now)
|
You know what, why don't we go ahead and make the generalization
|
Hehe... the modeling industry.
|
I know what you mean about 'wicked!', especially when used like "Dude, it's wicked hot out here." I hate crappy song titles that try hard to be cool, like fecking Pussycat Dolls - "stick witchu" or whatever the hell it is, learn how to speak english you talentless ****ing whores! And all the words that Sean Paul makes up in his shite songs. Example:
Well enough likkle girl dem bought they own dem got di goody goody One ting mi haffi tell dem Dutty got di woody woody Frontway backway Dutty K man have di shooby shooby Virgin dem waan gimme and mi have to tooky tooky What the **** man. |
I don't hate the words "your", "you're", "there", "their" and "they're", but I can't stand their misuse. People really should know better...

I hate abbreviations like 'ur' and '2' (in place of 'too'), and so on.
