I'll give you multicultural, I can't hear it without rolling my eyes. Its become such a buzz word...

But pedagogy? What could possibly be wrong with pedagogy?!?!?

"Pedagogy" just sounds ugly.

I really can't stand "Live, Love, Laugh." It just sounds so sickly-sweet to me.

As a (different) Kappa, I agree! I can only take so much kutesy Kappa krap! I don't mind if it's in combination with another word like "Kappacino" for a coffee event, but Kappa Kuties makes me wanna hurl.

I also hate the word "classy," because I heard it about 40,000 times while planning Kappa events as an undergrad. We'll have silver and black decorations, and it should be classy. That doesn't mean anything anymore if you say it a million times!

Oh oh oh, "pant" weirds me out when its the singular of "pants." I heard it all the time from Stacy and Clinton on TLC's "What Not to Wear." They would talk about a "striped pant." No, it's a striped pair of pants!

Oh and is it weird that panties doesn't gross me out? Ha! Undies is okay, too.

We are --->here<----.

"my baby's mama" or "my baby's daddy". THAT, right there puts the "G" in GHETTO!

or "you feel me?" and "my boo".

Give me a break.

ETA: and words/phrases like "hell to the naw"....or if "hell" spelled "hayle"...:rolleyes:

^^^I think I only called someone "boo" once...I was 17 and it sounded sooooo not me. I never did it again. It sounded just as dumb as it did when I heard other people say it. I was just trying it on. :o

My husband always pronounces the word "greasy" as "gree-zy". Can't stand it.

I hate "rag" when they mean "towel". This happens at the restaurant where I work. "Hey, hand me that rag." "No, I can hand you the towel."

"My bad." I HATE THAT PHRASE!

I don't like words like "joker", "jellyback" and "shahizzle dizzle".:p:p
Oh, and "jellyback joker"...lol

Anywho, I hate it when people say "Oh, I got wasted last night" or "I was so shit faced last night."

o.k. two things.
1. If you got "wasted" last night, then go sit in a dumpster and wait for the garbage truck.

2. Wow, your face looked like poop last night and you're proud enough to tell me about it? Uhh..yeah...okay. I mean, who cares?

lol both are words that I hear practically everyday in my education courses. And we had to do this awful assignment called the Multicultural Pedagogical Project in my one class.

Oh dear, that does sound awful...

I absolutely cannot stand when people misuse literally.

The song was cute though (the Ghost Town DJs one that is), and this post reminded me of it, so I am listening to it and smiling. :)

yes! these are the WORST!

you can thank Trina and Lil Kim for that, amongst others. i do enjoy the phrase "that's a bad bitch!"

can we add words like "praxis," "diasporic" and "marginalized?"

as long as i can keep "socioeconomic," im good.
