It's hardly pop culture, it's been used in Dublin since at least my father's teenage years.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the word I hate most - kudos. For some reason it drives me mad when people use it.

Cant stand the overuse of the word "stunning" in reference to how someone looks. There are situations that merit the word like seeing niagra falls or something that literally leaves you without words but to say a girl looks stunning is overstating it, unless you are a groom watching your bride approach you up the aisle. Also hate "Tasty" for some reason, dont like the sibilant sound it makes.

Basically, heads up, going forward.

I also know someone who hates the word "yellow"

InFront · 30-03-2007 11:12PM

Not a particular word, but I hate the way my alarm clock says "se-ven thir-ty foive" like a Stephen Hawking impression. I guess you could say I hate the words seven thirty-five.

"Obviously". I feel like screaming every time I hear it.

Velcrow · 30-03-2007 11:30PM

I hate when people tell you how "you feel"

'Chill' As in the 'calm down' sense of the word.
'Chillax' The hybrid of 'chill' and 'relax'

People should burn for using those words.

I also hate the whole ebonics language as well.

There is other words as well that I hate that I can't think of at the moment, but those two above are the worst IMO.

I can see where your friend is coming from. While it wouldn't be on my most hated words list, it is a word that I dislike. I've come to realise that I have no rational reason for disliking certain words, for instance I have no problem with room or groom, but some words just bug me and that's all there is to it.

Wacker · 31-03-2007 12:50AM

Scrotum. Self-explanatory, really.

I can't stand 'aggresiveness'. What is wrong with 'aggression?' I once edited a wikipedia page just to take it out.

Capt'n Midnight · 31-03-2007 01:01AM

Butterfly.

Ah come on sham. Sham is a cool word sham. I hate the word meh, even though its not a word shams.

Snot. And mittens.

rusalka · 31-03-2007 11:31AM

Toilet.

That word makes me shudder. I think it sounds so scummy and common.

"Loo", "Lav", "Ladies", etc. are all acceptable, but I hate, hate, hate to hear someone (particularly a woman) announcing that they "have to go to the toileh".

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Sad,bum,loo,meh and woot

JohnK · 31-03-2007 11:35AM

Bling. I ****ing hate that word and every time I hear it I feel the barely controllable urge to beat someone to death.

humbert · 31-03-2007 12:29PM

Jammers, as in, it was jammers :mad:

31-03-2007 12:48PM

Lav, IMO, LOL or any of those abbreviations.

Pigman II · 31-03-2007 12:58PM

I agree with the person who offered 'revert'.

I work with one moron who constantly emails me with requests to 'please revert' to issues that I have never (nor could never) have actually seen or dealt with before.

faceman · 31-03-2007 02:16PM

the word "actually"

Karl Hungus · 31-03-2007 02:20PM

"Metrosexual"

Oh, and "Literally" when used in the wrong context.

galah · 31-03-2007 02:36PM

scrumptious.

Hate it. Especially when spoken with a full mouth...brrrrr...

My friend (female) hates the words cúnt, discharge and finger (i know, why finger?).

And one night we were out having pints and her friend (also female) who knew about this, sent her a text saying "I've just fingered my cúnt and now there's discharge on my finger" and my friend puked in her pint.

No lie.

Might try that one like that on a friend of mine

Robbo · 31-03-2007 04:48PM

Random, legend/ledge/ledgebomb etc and the use of the word "funky" in conjunction with anything other than funk music. A handbag or a hatchback is not funky, Bootsy Collins could not possibly be responsible for them.

words you hate
