A lot of people use "Jew" to describe people who are selfish or stingy...or even imply it by the POSSIBILITY of a lie...

"You got a cig?"
"Naw, I'm out"
"Yeah right you Chabad jew, I saw you buy a pack yesterday..."

Ah, SDSU, a fine institute of highler learning.......

BUMP
for a discussion i had this weekend.. about hating on the word panties....
i HATE the word underpants... UGH
:p

These have probaby already been said in this thread but I don't feel like going through all the pages right now:

irregardless (not a word)
supposably (ditto)

Yikes.

That's how Michael Jackson got in trouble for the "Jew me sue me" lyric years ago.

I hate it when people say "gyp" as in "don't gyp me." Yes, yes, I have encountered Gypsies before and am also aware of the lifestyle stereotype. I still hate it when people say that.

hmm... I don't really say this, but I also never thought about it before... interesting

I HATE it when people announce that they have to piss or pee - I find it particularly offensive when other women say it. Must just be the context, because someone saying they're "pissed off" doesn't bother me nearly as much.

This is one of my pet peeves. But, it does bring back funny memories of the Friends episode where Joey thinks that it is a real word.

Yes! I think that was the one where Chandler worries that he spends more time on dates figuring out what's wrong with his dates rather than enjoying them. I can't remember the exact line, but he said something like, "What if I already met the woman of my dreams but broke up with her because she pronounced it 'supposably'?" (love the very last scene of that show where he's on a date and he's thinking something along the lines of, "She's nice, funny, has pretty eyes, BIG HEAD BIG HEAD BIG HEAD!!!" )

"I seen" (I have stopped dating men who used this term, it drives me crazy!)
"flustrated" (just like supposably)

I don't get the term "AnyHoo" either. It irritates me.

"I says" is equally annoying.

Dude!

the term "pet peeve".

"Baby daddy." It's terrible all the way around. You could at least say, "Baby's daddy" and make it possessive. "Baby daddy" just makes it look like you can't speak English. "Son's father" or "daughter's father" is better, as in "My son's father ignores him" or "The father of my kids owes me child support!"

Suck.
I'm so tired of "suck". I always want to say "Sucks what?", but I'm afraid they will answer me.

Wanting, as in "I was wanting to go out tonite". I only hear this in North Carolina where i now reside. Whenever I hear something phrased that way, my New York skin CRAWLS!

I say this allllll the time,
dude, what happened?
it's an awful habit that I def need to break.
/end hijack

LOL! Yep, they'll answer, and you don't want to know. :p

I also can't stand "text speak". It's one thing if you're saving effort and money on your little phone, but it shouldn't spill over into other full-forms of communication. I realize "R" reads as "are" and "U" reads as "you", "4" subs for "for", etc. etc. etc. But it's aggravating and I feel like a little part of my brain dies every time I read it.

And one other thing, this isn't necessarily about just words but how they're used, this is primarily a central-PA thing, but the dropping of whole parts of sentences always cracks me up. Instead of saying "I need to get my car washed" or "I need to wash my car", central PAers will tend to say "My car needs washed." Kills me.

"Drop-Dead Date"

Why? Maybe it was because this guy I disliked used it all of the time.

:eek:

Over-use of "surreal." It used to be a term that you only heard in Art History 101.

Also, because I was a psych major, using "anal" to describe someone, when "fastidious" or "detail oriented" is probably more accurate. Anyone who knew Freud's theory on this would not be so quick to call themselves "anal" as if it were a good thing!

This is a Southern thing, I think: People saying "I was fixin' to...", meaning "I was about to...".

This isn't tasteless or tacky, it just sounds stupid.

Going off of what Nittanyalum said, I hateee it when words are shortened, like wat instead of what (don't like the letter h?) nite instead of night, or B4 for before... I feel dumber when I read that sh*t....


I must confess that sometimes I'll use the letter U when my phone is closed (I have the EnV) and I'm in the middle of doing something, but that's about it...

This was probably already said, but people that are always throwing in curse words into the conversation. Can't you have a normal conversation without swearing. Just really not classy especially on girls.

"Coo." As in "that's coo." The word is "cool."

Drives me insane.

Hear, hear! Plus, when someone constantly has a potty mouth, no one takes them seriously. (says the person who too often wears a HR hat!)

"K"
Is it possible to shorten OK even more? Come on, people!

Don't recall if I've posted this before. It drives me crazy when people say "non-for-profit." It's either "not-for-profit" or "non-profit."

I curse so much, but not at work or in conversation with someone i shouldn't... but with my friends I def do way more than I should. :o

I hate the word "DUH." i want to kill any time i hear it flutter out of someone's mouth. That and whatever... *shudders*

When every word that comes out of somones mouth is a swearword. We all swear, but it's ridiculous when the F word, or the S word is after each ordinary word within a conversation.

Bimbo.

I hate that word! An old professor of mine (theology of all things) used that word in just about every other sentence he spoke. Ugh!

I didn't read the whole thread, but when people in this area say "yunz", "yinz" or any other variation (except in jest), I mentally deduct IQ points.

"yo"

South of Broad Street in Columbus is basically, "south". That group lives in C'lumbus Ahaya.

i really hate the phrase "that's so gay." nothing says "i need to grow the eff up" like using that phrase.

Can I say "rainbows are so gay"?

like - Definitely a favorite for females in my age bracket

mother f*cker - just really rude IMO

see, rainbows used to be straight, and then the gays went and turned them out. now theyve got no choice. sure, you can say rainbows are gay. but thats it.
