One word...

...you just hate people using and why?

for me it's the "C" word I just find it really offensive, unnecessary, there is no nice way that it can be said and I wish it could be totally removed from our vocabulary.

'like'

When it's, like, in every other, like, word in the sentence because the, like, moron using it can't, like, think of, like, a way to, like, express themselves without it!!!!!

Andie, ever read the Vagina Monologues?  Eve Ensler makes a case for accepting and embracing that word.

For me it's ma'am.  I'm much too young to be a ma'am.

sweetie.

Can I please, please, pretty please, pick two? (sorry, I did anyway, but one is a repeat)

Mrs...I hated being called "Mrs so and so" even in the brief moments of my marriage that were theoretically happy...  Can't explain it, just don't like the way it sounds.

and the C word -- it's just an ugly sounding word.

OMG, like, that's like the same like exact like word like I was going to like say.  I escaped from SoCal only to have it follow me here. I thought it was from all the smog. There's this one area in Dublin, IRELAND, where the 16-20-somethings sound more Californian than I do. Drives me batty to listen to them in the mornings.

I'm not exactly sure waht the "C" word is? lol

someone explain?

Rhymes with hunt.

Exactly  

( my daughter in law and people I work with all say it when they answer someone.)

"Um"

Not exactly a word, but irritating to me for pretty much the same reasons gi-jane gave for "like", only most of the time people manage to get a full phrase in before repeating it.

Whenever I go to any presentation, any meeting, anybody explaining to a group of people it's "Welcome to our open house!  Um...first we're going to introduce our teaching staff, um...and then we'll see a short video of the great improvements in our district, um...Principal so and so will say a few words, um...and then you can visit your child's classrooms."

I realize it's probably a nervous reflex thing (not everyone can be a Toastmaster) but it bugs me.

There's a book with a title of the same word... basically a feminist'ish book. It's one of my friend's favorite books so she gave me  copy. I haven't read all of it because after a while it gets a bit annoying but it gives the history of the word. It's a word women started and then men took it and morphed into what it is today. The author encourages women to reclaim the word for themselves. haha

"I have something to tell you later".  Well then just tell me later.  Don't keep me anticipating about what it is. That drives me so insane.  Then I am thinking it is some great news and it is usually ends up being soo insignificant!

Oh I hate the C word too! I also hate the T word for it too! Tw_t. Buy a vowel. :P

 Twit? 

I don't like when people start a sentence with dude.  "Dude.... you wont believe what just happened?!"

I however do say it sometimes when I'm trying to annoy a friend or something, but it usually backfires on me because apparently they don't find it irritating like I do.  Usually when I say it, nobody even blinks an eye/notices, hehe

Honestly.

Usually sentences started with "honestly" really aren't honest. As soon as you say I assume you're probably lying.

Ex: Honestly, I think you did a good job.

Translation: You could have done better, but I don't want to hurt your feelings.

Oh you're a cheeky one!

The other one that drives me crackers is the questioning rising inflexion that's crept in.  First heard it in Australia & the Americans appear to have embraced it but now it's also in England and it's APALLING.  Makes the speaker sound completely indecisive and turns every simple statement into a bloody question

"So I went to the supermarket?'  .....  well did you or didn't you?

"He seemed like a really nice boy?' .... as opposed to a really nice toothbrush?

"And I have to do this really awful exam?... on Wednesday?"  ... Don't ask me love, I've no idea what your schedule is.
