Words I hate

[RAM Engineer]

I took two years of Latin in high school. People always say to me: "That must have really helped your English vocabulary".

To which I reply: "No, my english vocabulary helped me with my Latin."

What a worthless class...

[Littlelebowski]

"sheeple"

[Mac5.56]

"Loose"instead of "lose", as in "poor grammar and poor spelling make me loose hope for the intellect of future generations".

"grammar", and "spelling"

As in, people who think grammar and spelling ability are the only signs of human intelligence.

I would love to see what Einstein's posts would have looked like if they had web forums back in the day. I can picture it now: "Einstein, your full of shit bro, you can't even spell Atom, It's "atom" not "adam", go to hell dude, your an idiot, we're going to work on this equation without you!!!"

"sheeple"

Hahahaha, makes me chuckle when I hear it.

Bangstick/Boomstick/Blaster
"clip" instead of magazine
"axe" you a question
"Fo-tay" glock
"I have an Idear" American Chopper, Paul Sr. grrrrrrrr, drives me nuts

Just about anything being spouted in GD over on TOS

I forgot where I saw it but it was a fantastic sig line.
something like this,

Better to remain silent and have people question your intelligence than to speak and remove all doubt.

Pique is French in origin and pronounced 'peek'.

Cashe - also French and pronounced 'cash' as in 'Johnny' or 'cold hard'. Not, 'cash-eh'.

Stella Artois - Belgian (they speak French), pronounced 'ar-twa' as in the three-way fun fest by the same name 'menage a trois'. It is not A-torres.

Before Freedom Fries and the general red-necking of America is was considered classy to have some understand of French.

Hate

[THCDDM4]

-I can't stand when affect and effect are interchanged and used incorrectly.

-I hate when people say "I could care less" when they really mean to say "I COULDN"T care less".

-The whole "WTF", "OMG", "LOL", "ROLMFAO" thing pisses me the **** off. A big "SMD" to all you pricks!

-My old Texan Roomate from college used to say "Let's go get some lick" meaning liquor and it always eerked me. I did laugh everytime he said "Dang-o" though, and adapted it to my vocabulary as well.

I agree the bushy, dissy, middy, shottie, fo-tay. 9 mili shit gets old.

Oh and the next time someone refers to their guitar as an "Axe", I'm going to take it outside and try to chop a tree down with it. I play and prefer "guitbox", or "twang slut".

[lethal dose]

i hate when people say strength "strenth".
i hate when people say coupon "coopon".
i hate when people say root, smooth, poop, goop, or anything with a double "o" and make it sound like the double "o" in "foot".
and other things of that sort... they may be right, i don't know. doesn't change the fact that it makes me red in the face.

[jklaughrey]

She teaches English and she really hates when I revert to street slang and Ebonics for certain things, let alone the use of my bastardized LA Mexican slang.

As far as speech is concerned I just hate words used that are over accentuated. Then the addition of tonal nuance and inflection when unneeded is horrifying. You know the speech I refer...Flaming Gay man speech. It is fake. Men don't grow up speaking this way. So why the act?

[TY44934]

Just to add to your list

Recce


Americans are getting way too lazy, we can't say the whole word? Or as I suspect, we don't know how to pronounce/spell those longer words.

Same applies to cars.

Rubi, as in Jeep Rubicon
Pathy, as in Nissan Pathfinder
Etc...

'stang for Ford Mustang

P-cola for Pensicola, Florida

'frisco for San Francisco

I hate any "druggie" slang -especially when gun owners use such slang. E.g.:

-got a little stash of . . .

-scored some . . .

-get happy on the . . .

And I really hate the term "busted my cherry on . . ."

Did I mention that I grew up in the 1970s? (and I really hate what happened to the USA during the 1960s and 70s). Many of the terms I hate became popular during the 1970s.
