words that make you grit your teeth

[roadie gal]

So as not to hijack Zen's "epic" thread... What other words make you grit your teeth?

I have a list:

Dude - enough already with "dude". When some twit calls me dude I look down toward my "parts" and say, "Nope, I've got indoor plumbing, no dude here".

Awesome - "Awesome" is the sunrise over the ocean. It's something transcendent, not your new shirt.

Conquering a mountain - K2 and Everest are still there, despite the number of people who summit. The mountain is not "conquered". I don't think the mountain really cares. feh

Anyone else?

Irregardless.

[mimitabby]

Irregardless.

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.

Nucular.

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.

Nucular.

Axed (for "asked").

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

I think "disirregardless" is even more glorious.

"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)!

[indigoiis]

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"

[mimitabby]

then there's the F word... can't they think up anything else?

What's your guys' opinion on x? (just a what's your opinion will suffice)

I seen (instead of saw) them.

And messing up your/you're, they're/their/there and too/to.
