Woot!! :D

I don't like it when people say "y'all", it always bug me when I watched Showtime at the Apollo because the announcer always said "Wat's up y'all?".

Also hate it when computer illiterate people keep using the term "download" for everything :|

"dookie"

My wife and I both hate that word, but she actually cringes and shudders when she hears it. She also hates 'turd,' which doesn't bother me as much. She also professes to hate the word 'pvssy" and has quite the collection of euphamisms for that particular area. But not in the bed, however - I put an end to that real quick. ;)

My friend brought this up and I agree wholeheartedly with him. I hate it when people use rape in the context of " that test really raped me."

Did that test really forcibly have sex with you? way to make rape victims feel great by comparing their trauma to your incompetence on a test.

One of my big ones, other THAN some that have already been mentioned here.....

People who put an "S" at the end of words incorrectly.

Such as "Walmarts"....."K-Marts", etc....

for some reason i'm not a big fan of "meh", when i read that it just makes me think the person is stupid.

Yes, I can't stand that either especially when used with Walmarts as you said. Ugh. A lot of people say Sonics, too.

shottie, or shotty for shotgun. It just shows laziness. I despise that word more than any other. Also, rottie or rotty for the dog.
