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?

Hun, hun Hun I can’t fucking stand being called hun!!!! 🤬🤬

Sorry OP but if something gives someone 'the rage' it annoys me!

Holibobs and fur baby!

Tbf, though I know that to be true, it really annoys me that there is no "h" sound at all in "aitch". The English language is baffling.

Read the room. Pacific rather than specific. Sic rather than sixth. Hyperbole.

Utilise instead of use
ticks all the boxes

People that randomly call their kids cunts in a sort of endearing way.
I know a person who says "just stuck with these cunts today" and puts it on facebook.
Say it's a rainy day for example and she's stuck in.
She's not a bad parent in the slightest she's a really lovely person not sure if it's meant to be funny or what but I sometimes look at it and think bloody hell!

Does that make sense

Many, many moons ago, when I was a Trainee Clinical Psychologist, I was taught to ask “does that make sense (to you)”?, when I provided an explanation of a behaviour to a patient. I have never been entirely happy with it as a question, but I still use it because I have yet to find another way of asking gently if they understand my explanation. Asking “do you understand”? could lead to the person inferring that I think they might be stupid!

Stunning.

Makes me wish I had a taser.

Mum! On the news or factual programmes Why can't we be mothers? Princess Diana is always referred to as a Mother, never Mum. Just sounds disrespectful.

“Reach for” I’m selling this because I don’t “reach for it any more”

‘The’ covid

I’ve heard da covit, it’s unbelievably annoying.

I am absolutely cracking up at some of these, and also laughing at how many I use. In fairness, some of those are used ironically / because I know it annoys the person I am speaking to. I love using words like ‘amazeballs’ in conversation with my mother, and watching as she is overtaken by a wave of fury.
I sometimes think I am not a very nice person...
