Annoying Words

Wed Apr 12, 2006 2:25 pm

Inspired by the funny words thread there is now one for annoying words.

My top 3 annoying words (not counting profanities) are:
Perhaps
Thermos(especially when pronounced thermis)
Tad

Perhaps I could get a tad of sugar for the coffee in my thermos?

Aaaiiieee!! *tears hair out* DX
I don't mind coffee but the other words in that sentence are so obnoxious.

MySpace isn't one word.

Guesstimate.

I want to shoot the person who made that one popular.

Meh, I'll guesstimate that if MySpace was one word, perhaps it would be a tad bit annoying to me.

Thermos

The only thing that really annoys me is gangsta slang like "Yo dawg, sup homie?". There really aren't any other words that annoy me (that slang isn't really considered real words, is it?)

Whenever people say 'It must be confessed that so-and-so did such-and-such, blah blah blah I'm trying to sound important'.

Myspace is one word. Or at least, there's never a space between "My" and "space." It's Myspace online, in the newspaper, everywhere I see it, including the website.

I hate when people use brand names rather than naming the object, like "Kleenex" instead of "tissue," especially when they're not even using the brand in question.

"touche".

My friend says that in response to whatever it is I've said all the time. I wouldn't mind it as much, if he at least used it in the correct context >_>

It's not exactly a word, but the "cynical look" emoticon. It's so grating, especially since the poster has probably already made their point with biting sarcasm anyway.

Agreed, very annoying. It tends to make the user look like they think they said something witty (and want people to acknowledge it), while, in retrospect, it just makes their message less effective and snobbish.
