that's what i was going to say! a senior engineer uses this often in conversations. Or should I say monologues. And he's kind of exalted and haughty...and has seniority... and then he spits out that word and my eyes cross.Originally Posted by maillotpois

Please, dear husband, DON'T say it anymore. It's not cute. It is ignorant.

Boobies. They are BREASTS people, grow up!
Prego, preggers, knocked up. It is PREGNANT people, again-GROW UP.
*****, that is just an ugly word. ESPECIALLY when it is referred to female body parts, or any OTHER word that refers in a crude way to female parts.
Again men(in this case usually) GROW UP!
Whew, thanks for letting me get that of my chest.

Not a spoken word, but when I see: "Your invited" or "your the one for the job", I grit my teeth big time.

"pitcher" for picture
"mute" for "moot" as in "moot point" -- the point is not unable to speak!

Part of my job is managing a few rental properties and there's a mom and daughter that call me 'honey' every time they call.
Really irritating. Use my NAME, for crying out loud! My hubby doesn't even call me that (he uses sweetie, instead)!

I overheard a conversation where one man said to another, "I got tired of all her agonisms."
I hate the misuse of "there", "their" and "they're"I can do five more miles.

I thought he got it from his mother, who is a redneck (the nicest kind) from rural Florida. But his DAD is from MICHIGAN! Maybe that's where SHE got it! Originally Posted by Andrea

Forte.
If you don't know how to pronounce it correctly you ought to simply say that something is not one of your strengths.
