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.

"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"...

pedagogy. That word needs to die a horrible death.
Multicultural. Yes I get it's important in the classroom but I'm so sick of hearing about it every single class I take!

"coinkidink" or "coinkydink"
It is such a terrible word that it doesn't even have a standardized spelling. Gracious, this word absolutely makes my skin crawl. I have no idea why, but I cannot stand it when people say it. It is worse than hearing someone pull tape off of Styrofoam.

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

^^^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.

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.

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!
