On the subject of annoying phrases from ads: "Consolidate all your X's into one easy, affordable Y!"

whirlpools 08-06-2011 05:36 PM

Speaking of adverts, I hate the Direct Line advert where the woman is rearranging the furniture because the 'feng shui's all wrong'.

I also don't like the word 'seepage'.

I hate the word; crumple.
Hate. Hate. Hate.
It's such a horrible word.

The War Doctor 08-06-2011 06:09 PM

Bully. Bullying is a serious issue, but the word is unbelievably silly. The one thing that has always prevented me from calling someone a bully is self-consciousness over having to say the word with a straight face.

"Swingeing" [cf newspapers when the Budget was set in October].
Yes, it IS a word, I found eventually in Google. But it's a nasty word and I don't like it!

When they call redundancy 'the axe' that gets my goat, too.

There're a bunch of other words I don't like, but it could provoke controversy, so I'll keep schtum.

*Is curious as to what Katie's controversial words are!*

I hate 'height', and everything that rhymes with it, because I find them very difficult to spell.

Also, the 'c' word.

And people calling me 'dear'

Oh, and it's not a word, but 'x's at the end of messages really offend me...

The War Doctor 08-06-2011 06:30 PM

Any and all lolspeak. It's bad enough when written (except on 4chan, where for some reason it's tolerable), but when spoken out loud it makes me want to kill something. If I say something funny, don't say "ell oh ell," just f*cking LAUGH!

I'm going to say 'bubba' *cringe*

I have people on facebook who have children and they update their status every 5 minutes with 'awww, my ickle bubba is so sweet, he just rolled over, he's so clever' erm, no, actually all kids do that.

Even worse is when they are actually talking about their boyfriends!

Pi.R^2 08-06-2011 08:59 PM

Sorry 15 Dollar Eagle, I'm one of the worst perpetrators for saying lol as part of normal conversation...

MunchBox 08-06-2011 09:01 PM

Oh and I hate pubes.

I hate it when people use the word 'like' countless times in a sentence. Such as,
"and I was like..."
"and they were like..."
"and like..."
"it was like..."
I don't know if that is just where I'm from.

I do that... and then I comment on how much I like, say like.

Oops, sorry Shine and Sigaoo.

I bet there are loads of things I say that irritate people.

Disappear, I also hate "the feng shui is all wrong" advert. As soon as it appears on telly I get so annoyed and quickly turn it over.

Crusty, ooze, moist...ugh ugh ugh.
Any and all words for vagina (except the word vagina...it's quite fun to say :P) i.e. fanny, c***, clunge, pussy etc.

I don't like distribution or retribution because I can't say them :P I also can't say revision session.

Lucia22 09-06-2011 12:53 PM

The words I dislike are; sorry, hate, and delay.

Balders 09-06-2011 02:09 PM
