I also hate words which products throw around that don't really mean anything like "natural" or "organic" :roll:

Words, by and large, don't freak me out. But I have a very low tolerance for trendy words and phrases that seem to become ubiquitous overnight, (thanks to social media). "Selfie" and 'bucket list" come to mind.


I also have come to have complete contempt for the word "awesome." It's just so overused, it drives me up the wall! Not everything is awesome, alright? A sunset witnessed from a mountain summit is awesome! Saving 20% on a pair of Dockers at JCPenny is not awesome.


"Hey, Dave, check out my new Dockers I just bought at JCPenny! I got a 20% discount!"


"Awesome!"

Don't mind me. I've just become curmudgeonly in my old age. Half of what I say is not to be taken entirely seriously. It's purely for comic effect. No worries, eh!

I saw awesome all the time. :oops:

Yeah, I figured it was autocorrect. I understood what you meant.

Some people call their dogs "puppers"
I'm not sure what my mind's connecting that with, but it makes me feel a bit ill whenever I hear it.

The word moist makes a lot of people cringe. I just see it as another word for damp.

I don't like the word girder for some reason. I don't know why.

Excessive filler words, such as um, uh, like, you know

Speech that is plain gibberish-people talking on and on about nothing

"Rich" to describe taste and "busy" to describe something that is too hard on the eyes (that color is just "too busy" for me, or "that cake is rich.")

Vomit-it sounds worse than "barf" or just plain "throw up."

Help, hurt,
Everything helps, neither or hurts. You can not guarantee just the first two


care,

"To attend to". Does not specify outcome, intention, legality or morality

important,

"Of great value". Not "of value"

"You need to". No, not Maslow's hierarchy


people,

"Are you ok?"
Like you have to say "thank you"

"How are you doing?"

There are five emotions and happy is just one of them

"Mad"

"Do you have a question?"
Like if you have a question, they have an answer

"May I help you ?". "Help" one teaspoon and they take a gallon of credit

"Can you", like if you "can", you have to

"Unfortunate". Everything is fortunate, neither or unfortunate. Pointing out something is unfortunate sounds like it implies that the speaker expects everything to be fortunate

What, huh
