Mixing foreign languages with English hmmm as you have done above :eek:

Especially journalists who during the boom wrote that something I deemed frivolous and a rip off was

I don't have a problem with 'passed away' as it's been a long accepted idiomatic expression. It's the current useage of passed that irks me. "My father passed last Monday" makes me want to ask the follow-up question: "What did he pass - an exam, water, wind?"

His expiry date :pac:

I have an irrational hatred of this word, especially when used in relation to having sex. Just makes me cringe.

And for added drama......

OH

GOD !

Anyone using this phrase cannot be taken seriously.

Enormity, used in the wrong context, it does not mean enormousness, although sometimes it fits, and you wonder did the person mean it like that..

Irrespective and regardless have, against their will, been morphed together to form some meaningless NON-word. It makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes.

forget how i came across it, but i found a word to describe words like that, (blended words, not annoying meaningless ones...) portmanteau, (its the french for coat-stand!?)

another example would be chillax, which i havnt heard in a while, thank God.

People say "literally" for every God damned descriptive sentence now. It's gotten so pervasive can we just take it for granted a person means literally unless they specifically tell us its figuratively? It would save a lot of hassle.

"Thought leader"

The King of Moo

"C*nt"

"I haven't read the whole thread..."

"liberal do-gooder"

"mott"

"I was totally like...*sentence unfinished*" - any young person saying this should be forced to actually describe precisely how they felt in order to ensure that their vocabulary does not further deteriorate.

"bubbly" (unless it's being used literally)

"trending" - We used to call that "popular" when I was a younger man.

"grow" when used to mean "increase" or "develop" in any other context apart from growing plants. Or hair.

Oh yeah, another one is when people overuse the word "contemporary" on those interior design shows. It seems to be the only word they ever use to describe things!

I've always (irrationally) hated the word "contemporary". Now I think that ^ may be why :P

Also "succulent", always used in ads for food that rarely looks it.

And "juicy", especially when it's written across some-one's arse on a tracksuit :P

The first one that springs to mind is the word 'retard' when used to insult anyone. Annoys me so much to hear it.

This one is soooo annoying but I've said it to people in college before and they literally look at me like I am the one that's mental:

IRREGARDLESS....Oh sweet Moses.. are you actual serious?

The words "Random" to describe an event and "Randomer" to describe a person, normally used by women, it's like nails on a f*cking chalk board when i hear it!!!!

And "lippy" as in short for lipstick :mad::mad::mad::mad:

"Boom" at the end of a sentence. I don't what or where it's from but it's annoying

Using the word 'fit' to describe somene as sexually attractive.
Also 'sucks ass' it doesn't even make any sense.
