    What's your least favourite word in the English language?

    Mine is entitlement and all it's variations. It's a word bandied about by alot of people who will never use the word responsibility. Absolutely hate the word when it comes to people who have done nothing to deserve their "entitlements"

    Sheep, when used in relation to people. "Sheeple" is even worse :mad:. These words are usually just used by bitter idiots who try, and fail, to make themselves sound superior.

    "You like an artist who happens to have a million other fans? Or you dare support a political party that I disagree with? Oh you're obviously just a sheep who can't think for yourself." :rolleyes:

    No problem with the word sheep in relation to the actual animal; I actually quite the word then. Much better than cow or pig.

    The same f*cking eejits that subscribe to that Free Man of Ireland bullsh*t use the word Sheeple.

    Indeed, it's not a real word. Espresso is however.

    My vote:
    Synergy
    Dynamic
    Recessionary
    De facto
    Also the words fail and this when used as a complete sentence, particularly in real life

    Awesome - when used in it's current Americanised context.

    I liked it and used it regularly when it meant 'inspires awe'. Now i don't for fear i will look and sound like an R tard.

    Domino's pizza does not inspire awe. Getting off work half an hour early does not inspire awe. A sunny day does not inspire awe. None of these things are awesome, so stop saying they are.

    Most meaningless corporate catch phrases although the most annoying have to be the various euphemisms used for sacking people, "rationalisation", "restructuring" etc. We all know what they mean so just say it!
    There are loads more including but not limited to "do gooder", "liberal" and "politically correct" when used as lazy terms of abuse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭Denisejcc


    Panties .. EWWWW

    'going forward' and other such work related sh1te talk the suits use!

    That would be the reason why I hate it. ;) Because some people will invariably pronounce it wrong!!

    Another one I've thought of since my last post is hun. What is the fùcking story with putting this word at the end of EVERY sentence lately!?!
