List five words that you hate and why...

[Zebo]

Think of the child ren.

 

[pyonir]

unfrozen.

hella.

shoot. (as in "hey, shoot me an email!")


I'll think of more.

 

[Yossarian]

supposably--even though it isn't a word
orientated--usually misused
cavity--just grosses me out
persons--pretentious
methinks--no one says it but a lot of people write it online. I loathe them.

 

[Kyteland]

Actually 'irregardelss' is a real word. It has an official entry in many of the newer dictionaries because of its widespread use and that makes it a word. It doesn't matter that people started saying it because they were too stupid to know any better. That is how language evolves.

The word I hate is 'gullible'. It's not in the dictionary so it is not actually a word. And people go on using it...

It is a word, if that's what you're thinking.

I guess in another order it would be alright???

My, My, My, not pounding heads tonight?

Tonight my heads not pounding.

pounding heads, not tonight. My...

Guess your right.

Sorry, I'm just real bored at work...

 

[DeafeningSilence]

4 words: "I could care less." WRONG! If you actually take a moment to think about the words you say, you might discover that you're saying the opposite of what you mean!

And now, my fifth word: "grow." In the 'HR' sense (as someone earlier alluded to). I don't like it when it's used as an active verb, i.e., "grow our business." Bah.

"Gullible" is in my 1968 Webster's.

"gullible: adj. easily cheated or tricked; credulous: also sp. 'gullable'"

"Irregardless", however, is not in any edition of dictionary that I own. It's not even in the OED down at the library.

EDIT: It would seem that I'm not only gullible, I'm also so anxious to prove that I'm right that I will reply without reading the remainder of the thread.

Well, at least I didn't have to run all over the place to figure it out. I keep my dictionaries on the shelf right above my computer. Yes, I'm that much of a geek.

[acidvoodoo]

"Snog"

in the UK it's a term some people, mainly girls with accents (the un-posh kind) use to say kiss. Eg "hey, i just snogged acidvoodoo"

fscking horrible word, sounds like a type of beast
