Being a New Yawk City native, there are hundreds of ways the F-word can be injected into everyday speech and it's generally not considered offensive unless it's directed at someone. However, there is one certain word that I consider offensive, and I just don't particularly care to use it or hear it said:

C*nt - Whether using it to crudely describe a part of the female anatomy or referring to a despicable woman. Just irks me to no end.

Co-sign this. There are many words that have several different meanings. When I say something is gay, I don't mean it's homosexual. I use this word in this way around gay people all the time and they know what I mean.

Military Creole... a dying language!
 

Quoth Thomas Wolfe in his classic work of American aerospace literature, The Right Stuff, on page 143 (lightly edited for clarity):

In those days when the Ooooooold Air Farce was the best Air Farce, it was not unusual to overhear conversations spoken in fluent Military Creole.

To expound on AlphaSigOU's post, Ben Bradlee said the phrase that summed up his military experience was "The f***ing f***er's f***ed."

I like that word and use it often - it has so many uses - but I do not like to hear GD or JC either.

The words that really offend me the most are doublespeak & corporatespeak - if you can't tell me what you mean then shut up - although I don't care much for "panties" either. :p

Actually you're not.

--And please stop calling it New Yawk

Last time I checked my birth certificate, it reads I was born in Flushing, Queens, New York. 'Far as I know, that makes me a New York City native. Granted, I may not have returned back to "The City So Nice They Named It Twice" in years but I think I've earned the right to call it 'New Yawk', since it's about the closest you can get to a New York accent in print. :rolleyes: :p

Y'all southern gals still carry smelling salts? Thats adorable. :)


But yeah most words that apply to sexual organs or the process pf producing body waste can take me aback in a conversation.

God damn . . isn't something bothers me, or Jesus Christ, although they aren't terms I use.

NIGGARDLY-can't you use a different word to describe something/someone that is stingy. :o

OH God, Give it a rest, It is a True Word for being Miserly! Do that remind you of someone???!

Your Stuff is flowing above your Pants:eek: Must be BVDs!

AlphaSigOU, Remember, Rudey is not totally Responsible for His Stupidity, and I really do not want to Blame it on His Parents or Maybe Gene/Jean Pool!:o

Maybe He was Kicked to the curb at birth!:(

He is a Respite of Da on Site and it is so good to see someone besides me!:p

1) I personally know no one, who pronounces New York, "New Yawk."
2) "The City So Nice They Named It Twice" refers to New York, New York which is Manhattan, and not any other borough.

Russ While I have Been To NY, NY several Times, I still Call It New Jerk for some of the Morons that I had Contact With!:rolleyes:

God, The Idiocy is underwhelming and outside their Bouroughs, They Have No Clue!:(

Hell, one nite found finally how to get From Brooklyn to Manhatten, 7 th and 7th!

Hell, no one could tell me how to find it! Da, Cabies, or COPS!

Finally found it, checked out with never sleeping in The Bed!:confused: Do They Really know beyond a block or two?

Sorry Dude but was a great frustration the times I was there!

SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT. Regardless of the meaning, sometimes people just don't like when certain words are said. That's what this thread is about.

Why must you say stupid things that make no sense?

I see so if an American couple go to France on vacation and their child is born in the hotel, they return to the States shortly after and the child is no longer there, then that child is a native of NY.

OK right.

The NY accent in print? So every single time you post about NY you have to imitate a NY accent in print? Actually it's certain people from certain parts that have that accent. Perhaps in the next post you make you can talk about how you are a huge knife fighter because you're a New Yawker. That'd just be great.

You're a Florida native. Accept it. You wrote a book about your memorable experience going to high school in Florida. You went to college somewhere else, but came back to Florida. Your connection with NY is nill.

-Rudey

You're starting to make me like you.

-Rudey
--But you have a bit to go :)

You've stooped to insulting my parents now.

-Rudey
--Please stop talking to me

OK, I'm willing to settle for almost nil. :) Can't deny I was born in New York, but I was raised in South Florida, in an area that was populated (then) by former New Yorkers who went south to retire.

Now let's get this topic back on track before it splits... :D

Wait a sec....are you trying to say my post was, uh, GHEY???

I know its a double standard . . .

But when pretty girls use language harsher than "damn."

IT just jars and sounds worse than a man doing it.

This post reminded me--

My cousin uses the word "Jewish" as a synonym for stupid. For example, if a door is broken, he'll say, "Damn Jewish door" or something to that effect. I was shocked the first time I heard him say that. Not sure where he picked it up.

OK no, see that's going beyond what's acceptable and joking. That's running into the hate zone and doing a dance.

-Rudey
--What a damn stupid cousin

LOL, I have a friend that does that. We were craving a diet cherry coke one night and we went to the Chevron to get one. It was like 10:00 and it was closed. She was like "Damn Jewsish Chevron!"

I agree.

Me too!

Substitute any other highly charged word and you would get a THUNDEROUS response. Do him a favor and set him straight-before HE gets stereotyped as an idiot!

Just good advice.

Saying someone "expired" when they died.

I hate it when people say "irregardless":rolleyes:

I hate the word "reiterate." Unless you've said something THREE times, you aren't reiterating anything. "Iterate" means "to repeat." Therefore, "reiterate" means to "re-repeat." Dumbasses. :mad:

I'm an agnostic bordering on downright atheism, but it bothers me to hear people say "I swear to God." It just sounds harsh and crass. I had a teacher who would say it all the time last semester, and it just rubbed me the wrong way.

lol- in london- a fanny is known as a women's uh..private area hahaha- how weird that words are used so differently

*i was warned about this word when i said "fanny pack" or something in conversation- this guy turns to me and says do you know what that means here??? lol

ooooo my

i am the QUEEN of hating words, really, i have this serious hatred for some words and they make me SQUIRM

some of them are:

1. Toes (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
2. handsome
4. tasty
5.snot



ughughugh i'm grossing myself out already

Nevermind that. It's a Southern (predominantly among African Americans) euphemism. I don't say it, though.
I hate when people say GD, JC (or even just "Jesus"), c*nt, tw*at, poophole, or ghetto. In general if something is said in a disrespectful way, then it pisses me off. I have sort of mixed feelings about "gay/ghey". I just usually don't say it.

I also freaking hate it when people say "ATM machine". Redundant much???

bungalow

Owell, now I am bugged with the word "potato", since that was the first word jumped into one's mind down here when I mentioned Iowa. HELLLLOOO? Iowa, the potato state? ARE YOU NUTS? :rolleyes:

Because it's not a real word? That drives me nuts too. I also get annoyed by "towards."

Tell me you are joking about "Iowa, the potato state"...right?

IDAHO is the potato state.

In Iowa we are the Hawkeye state, with the IOWA State Fair...one of the greatest attractions available in the US all summer!

www.iowastatefair.org

LOL, I know that, that's why I put :sarcasm: face after it.
:D

"Anyways" bothers me! Also, I think "womyn/wymyn" is kinda tacky. I get it, but I don't like it.

How about "PIN number"??? LOL!

You need the book by Tim Woodward "Is Idaho in Iowa?: The Dumbfounding Confusion".

Idaho isn't the "Potato State" anyway, it is the "Gem State", full of garnets. However if you moved to Idaho, you could rock this on your car:

That reminds me, it is time for lunch.

I find the over use of "like" to be tasteless and tacky in speech.

Abusing the word "like" and "y'know" by using it as filler for conversation.

Like, it sounds so ignorant, y'know, coming like from college-educated people! :rolleyes:
