Words you hate to hear

[AGDee]

"To make a long story short" (because they've already told the long story by the time they say this!)
"It's all good" .. no, it really usually isn't.
"Anywho"

[epchick]

"Panty." I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE that word, and it just creeps me out when people say it.

When my cousin says "oopsies" gaaaaah that bugs me (and my mom, lol).

And I'm one of those people who cusses like a sailor when I want a glorious break from the daily intellectually rigorous discussions with colleagues, family, and friends. In my opinion, it is classy, fancy, oooooooober attractive, and I feel empowered. Rock on.

ETA: So, it is what it is.

hah!

"much" - as in "upset much?"

"piggy-back" - as in "I'm going to piggy-back on his idea..."

"conversate" - it's NOT a word!

"YOU welcome" - instead of "you're welcome"

"no worries"

"come with" - as in, "We're going out. Wanna come with?"

"to coffee," "to sushi," etc. - I can't stand when people say "I'm going to coffee."--NO, you are GOING TO HAVE COFFEE.

"to prom" - This may be a regional thing, but we didn't say "We're going to prom." We said "We're going to the prom."

"bitch" - whether it's used to describe a female or male, and especially when someone refers to herself or her friends using this word.

"p" and "c" words (as others have mentioned)

"retarded"

"gay" used as an insult or to otherwise put something or someone down

any word or phrase used to express that one is going to or needs to use the facilities other than "I'm going to the restroom" (and even that bugs me; just excuse yourself without saying why)

"mami/papi" - whenever referring to someone other than a relative

*Legit (meaning cool, good, nice).

My youngest brother is in HS. He and he his friends use "legit" all the time.

Example: "Those shoes are so legit! Where did you get them?"

"Panty" or "panties" is such a gross, pornoriffic word. I can't put a finger on why, but it is. My friend who is a writer had a story with that word in and I pretty much told him, unless he wanted to gross out every girl who read it, take it out NOW.

I think all three of these are regional things.

This reminds me of when some friends used the word "bogus" constantly. It's just one of those fads that will be over soon.

I've seen Filth & The Fury enough times that the c-word doesn't even make a dent as far as I'm concerned. People saying GD and/or JC bug me a lot more.

Oh, and nouns as verbs. Example: "Journaling" - AAACK!! "Writing in your journal" is perfectly fine and really, you aren't so important that the earth will dissolve if you take the time to say those extra 3 words. Again, I think this ties in with the corporatespeak.

Yessssss I completely agree!!! It's like I have to take a hot shower and scrub myself clean if I hear that word, and I really don't know why. lol

I've never heard people calling each other 'spic' in the way that blacks call each other 'n***a.' Beaner, yes. Spic, no. I've only heard it in a negative way.

Just like others have said. It is definitely NOT the same connotation.

ETA: Idk if i'm the only one, but I hate seeing both those words typed out.

Oh most def that would be offensive. IDK if 'spic' is just specifically for Mexicans, but I know a lot of PRs, Cubans, etc get suuuuuuper offended if you call them 'spic' because then they think you are calling them a Mexican. I'm just like whatever.

"texting" and "texted"

These words sound so incorrect to me. I always say "I am sending him a text," instead of "I'm texting him," or "She sent me a text," instead of "She texted me."
