words that make me angry.

Original post by PreshusSmurf

at the moment, that list includes:

staycation




(i see nothing wrong with the *concept* i just don't think we needed to coin a term for it.

Peter Gibbons said it best in the movie Office Space:
'I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be.')




what words are on your list?

Oh I'm not a fan of that word either! It annoys me when I hear people use it.

I am not a fan of 'daycation' either.

I don't think we need to coin a term for them either.




Yes!

Daycation!!!!

That's the other one I was trying to think of when I posted last night.

Purse

My dad told me my purse was ringing the other night. It's a bag not a purse. A purse is white and carried by ladies 85 and over.

With it

My mom refers to new clothes as 'with it' and it really annoys me. Who says that!!!


Popped collar I hate people that use that term and do it!!!

Moist

Scrod

Ooh and the word shorty. I don't know how guys think this will get me to talk to them. Especially when most of the time I'm 2 feet taller than they are. Ugh!

When people refer to their 'boo' or 'beau' or however you spell it

some of the women actually call me that sometimes too and it drives me nuts!

I never knew Beau was pronounced like Bo. For years I would see it in magazines and think the word was pronounced like beautiful without the 'tiful'. All those stories in Teen magazine I thought were about girls and their BEWS. My least favorite actor Bew Bridges . I only learned i was wrong about 3 years ago.

words that people MISPRONOUNCE annoy me

liberry-aka library
seckatery- secretary
valentime's day- valentine's day
irregardless- no such word
sagitos pkwy- sagtikos pkwy


I could go on and on



Yeah this really gets to me too. One of my friends says 'ex-specially' instead of especially.

And when my little sister first started talking she would say 'gren beans' instead of green beans. Unfortunately that stuck with her b/c she's 14 now and still says it like that!!

I have colleagues that do this!! Ummmm you're a teacher, correct??!?!? I swear, I think 'supposably' is the worst, by far
