Please tell me I'm not alone, and other people can't have certain words used around them?

Oh has just used the worst one, (moist) Angry even writing that makes me shudder. It knocks me sick when I hear that word.

Oh thinks I'm going crazy and I'm trying to prove I'm not with this thread. I also can't have clocks in the house, the ticking makes me want to rip my ears off. Dickhead husband calls me Captain Hook Hmm

I hated "my bad" until I heard Simon Baker say it, whilst in character, in The Mentalist Grin
And I love Simon Baker so I tolerated it Blush
Whoever made the rentaghost comment upthread made me chortle! Sorry, I can't remember who it was.
Hated words: agree on
Nom nom
A cheeky something or other (FUCK OFF!!!!!)

Basically, most of the words already mentioned.

Aha! Thought of one though it might have been said.

"It is what it is."
Wtf does that even mean!

Probably going to get flamed for this but the recent trend for children having 'meltdowns' really grates my nipples.

It's a fucking tantrum. I want to have a tantrum every time I read about them.

I do 100% agree (not 110%, hate people that say that) on the ticking clock OP, I can't have one in the house either. Captain Hook is hilarious though.

"Offline" instead of "online". As in "I bought it offline". No you fucking didn't! Your wifi was connected when you clicked "Pay using PayPal" therefore you bought it ONLINE!

(Sorry, I have a friend who I have the same conversation with every time she gets an Asos delivery. Perhaps I should let it go.)

All i ask is that you bring me some Toast. It's not that big a deal - I've done it for you for over 15 years. Just one of the many things I've done I'm really not complaining and it's not your fault that I finally admit I'm a bit knackered, but just a little bit of buttered toast would go a long way.

'Kit'. People use it for everything now. I can bear it in 'PE kit' but it's when people say 'that's a nice bit of kit' or refer to 'tech kit' or anything else that is just stuff, or equipment.

Bear Grylls may be responsible for my hatred of this.

It's not a word but 'lol'
I particularly despise it from my sil who says something really bitchy or sarcastic (always by text, never in person) then sticks 'lol' on the end as if it excuses her from the actual context. So passive aggressive!
I don't dislike any actual words but don't like
Hun
Bae
When people sound their t's with a k "likkle"
Or when people can make a 'th' sound so instead of "this" it becomes "vis" - I realise we are verging on speech impediment territory there though so maybe I should stop before I'm accused of being insensitive.

Edmund we hate exactly the same words Xmas Grin

There was a chocolate mousse advert on TV not long ago that sent me climbing the walls. The narrator said the word 'chocolate' about 700 times in under a minute, and had that weird lip-smacking way of speaking. It made me feel violent.

I hate all HR-lingo, but especially the noun competencies

What's wrong with 'competences', plural of competence? Where does the -ie come from?

I also hate girlie used as an adjective. What's wrong with "girly"? Not girlie enough? God, it looks so soppy. "Claire and I had a girlie chat." Yuck.
