Words that other adults use that irritate you?

[Mangosmoothiesprinkles]

Some examples that seem to irritate me (yes I know it’s totally irrational!).

First is someone calling the tumble dryer ‘the tumblee’ (written phonetically to explain how they pronounce it). Second is ‘homee’ rather than home. I know there is no reason for these to give me the rage but they do.

AIBU to feel irrationally annoyed? What words that other adults use give you the rage?

Tummy (unless speaking to a child)
Comfy or even worse, uncomfy

People using “myself” and “yourself” in place of “me” and “you”…thinking it makes them sound more formal or professional.

“I’ll put in a meeting with yourself”

“Please forward the email onto myself”

BARGH

Cis
Be kind (when silencing people)
Pregnant people
Cervix havers
Bodies with cervixes
Tuna fish
Got/gotten
Obvs
Hun/what's up hun?
Babe
Bought or Brung instead of brought (I brought my lunch in)
Lol
Arksked instead of asked

Yeah, ‘tummy’ is awful, but not as wincingly dreadful as ‘belly’.

I’m with the PP who cringes at ‘pussy’. I’m very fond of ‘fanny’ though.

Someone at work says "Essentially" all the time. Which is actually not an annoying word in itself but grates on me when it's constant...
"Essentially we need to..."
"Essentially we have two choice"
"Essentially, I have to..."
FUCK OFF

The expression “gives me the rage” really irritates me.

People that say " I brought a new dress" when they mean bought.

People that say " I was sat there". When it should be sitting.

Crikey so many uptight people or should I say peeps

I raise you “chimbley” for chimney. Baffling!

@apintofwine God yes!!!! Absolutely detest this.

@Booboosweet

I can't bear the word 'nan'. I prefer granny or grandma. Nan sounds horrible.

My Nan insisted on being called Nan. She thinks Grandma or any of the other options make her sound old. She's 96. (Don't hate me.

@madnessitellyou

Thought of another.

Brufen.

Can anyone medical explain why ibuprofen comes out as brufen?

Brufen used to be the most popular brand dispensed/prescribed! It's like referring to sticky tape as sellotape.

‘My bad’

Slaw

The "exact same" h s bugged me for years but I am now becoming resigned to it.i

People that say " I brought a new dress" when they mean bought.

I always want to say, "where did you bruy it?"

Hate the word Obfuscate.

I just have an image of someone doing this at the -FUS- part of the word.

ObFUScate.

Hun.

Mash potato. It’s mashed potato. MASHED

Pack lunch. It’s packed lunch. PACKED

Texed instead of texted ("I texed her to say I was on my way")

Generally used by the people who say "arksed" instead of asked. ("I texed him and arksed if he was coming". Aaagh!)

Hanging. As in "I'm hanging". It just sounds really gross. Not sure why but makes me feel slightly nauseous. What's wrong with "Hangover"?

Exspresso

It’s espresso, there is no x, there is never an x, it’s actually a more clunky word to say with the x than without. Stop it.

gonna wanna coulda woulda

fell pregnant

my bad

triggered

How everything is now super...
As in super friendly, super anxious, super annoying.

@TableFlowerss I agree and note that often weird people who use my bad also like happy days, both said through gritted teeth with a big grin to fake enthusiasm.

@DilemmaDelilah

I HATE invite instead of invitation. It's NOT an invite. It has never been an invite. It will never be an invite. The word is INVITATION!!!!!

I came across 'invite' as a noun in Anthony Trollope, so that's 1850-60. Sorry I've forgotten which book! Not that I like it, but it's not new!
