I'm going for a poo.

My least favourite word is poo. I hate the connotations. When I hear that word, I can't help but visualise a half-filled cereal bowl of a chocolate mouse-like shit.

That annoys me too. A.A. Milne didn't write "Winnie the Shit", gods-dammit.

'troath' for throat

'thongue' for tongue

Why?

The amount of people who cant spell ''of'' is unbelievable

the cat is out off the bag

"What are you reading?"

Would you fúck off, I'm trying to read.

12 year olds using black american slang like "woke" and "lit".

People trying to be funny by posting mathematical expressions in this thread but
actually posting mathematical equations.

When people comment about funny things saying

I cant breath
I'm dead
I died
I'm screaming

No you're not.

Heighth another one. It's down to the idea that dropping aitches sounds "common" so they get added to places where they don't belong.

People who deliberately say "then" instead of "than" e.g. "that pint was better then the last one" - THAN you f*cking moron, THAN! But you know that already, you are just trying to be cool.

Any Marketing "lingo" or stealing of normal words as well as inventing words e.g. "actioning" - that's NOT a word!

Most recent annoying theft of the word "organic". :mad:

"On trend". Hate it so much. Just because an item of clothing is "on trend" doesn't mean it doesn't look hideous on you.

People saying though instead of tough

It's not theft, the increase in use is holistic.

Nuanced.

Everything is nuanced suddenly.

"Hopefully" or "Mate":mad:

erica74 · 31-08-2017 9:03am

Shook
Lit
Low key and high key - which seem to be some sort of new "cool" descriptive coupling the young people are using
All of the above sound fucking ridiculous in an Irish accent.

I hate when people try to sound professional by saying they'll do xyz and 'revert back to you'. Firstly, the 'back' in that sentence is unnecessary, and secondly, 'revert' means 'to return to some earlier form/stage of'. Not to get back to someone.

Even more annoying is the fact that this incorrect usage has begun to be seen as correct usage. It's in a dictionary now.

Also hate 'for sh1ts and giggles'. What kind of a gross expression is that?

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 31-08-2017 2:38pm

"Surely", it's a display of total ignorance. I lose all respect for anybody who uses this condescending term.

You see that "revert" in law an awful lot - "we'll revert back to you". I think the overuse of it by solicitors may have contributed to it making its way into a dictionary.

They love that sort of thing. They are long in the business of using verbosity and "clever"-sounding words and phrases to give the appearance of substance and intellectual gravitas to pure horsepuckey.

And it's funny that a lot of the larger firms are trying to get rid of the "fancy" terminology and just use plain English. It's the smaller firms who like to use the horsepuckey.

There's a chap near me in my part of town with a shiny suit, offices in an old falling-apart three-bed semi and his 93-year-old mother on the front desk. You should hear the reverting out of the eejit. :pac::pac::pac:
