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?

Nan.
Dessert.
Toilet.
Lounge.
Settee.
Sick instead of poorly.
People pronouncing the “l” in almond.
DP’s pronunciation of turmeric. (“Tyume-arick.” NO.)

I agree with a lot of these but it should be “ill” not “poorly!”

Yes - agree!!

Practically everything mentioned, also to add...

Overwhelmed - About everything it seems nowadays

And yes 'Nan'

I have a lovely friend who I adore but for some reason she uses American terms for everything she can: cookie, pants, blush etc etc. She has no connection to the USA and we’re in our late 40s so hardly the Instagram generation.
It really bloody annoys me.

You should have behaved like the hot chocolate actually was awesome when it arrived. Falling off of your chair, gasping, shouting to other customers "have you seen this awesome hot chocolate?", taking photos and phoning the local press....

“Youse should see..” bloody hate “youse”
Borrow me your pen.. no, it’s can I borrow your pen

Too many!

I hate all the things suggested so far -
so my hubby has gotten me a gorgeous cuppa, then we're going to look at holibobs whilst cuddling the lickle furbaby, and I'll literally have a cheeky wine with my din-dins. Nom nom.

Saying obviously when there is absolutely no obvious context

There's a Reddit sub dedicated to videos of dogs and other animals running around. It's called Zoomies and good lord, that word really does make me a little bit fucking violent. It's sickeningly twee and raises my hackles so much, I look like a stegosaurus.

I also loathe 'doggo' and 'pupper'. There's another sub for pictures of rodent paws, called Lil' Grabbies. Gives me apoplexy.

I should give Reddit a swerve for a while, it's clearly not good for my blood pressure 😅

"Veggies" drives me up the wall, particularly if there are "masses" of them and they are being "bunged" in a saucepan.

“Youse should see..” bloody hate “youse” Borrow me your pen.. no, it’s can I borrow your pen

Actually, it's 'may I borrow your pen'.

My pet peeve is "literally".

"I literally died."

Then how are here to tell the tale?

Also people who say "chumeric" when it's "TURmeric". Or, like, constantly like filling sentences with like the word like.

@BiscuitLover3678

Blowy. It’s blowy out. Slippy. And little lady/little man also gross.

*outside. It's windy outside.

"Me thinks"
"Boom" "fact" or "rant over" when writing a caption or status"
"Nom nom nom"
"Holibobs"
"I've had worse Mondays"
"Inbox me"
"Hubster"

When written, kinda, gonna, sorta.

From Brits, pissed when they mean pissed off.

"Train station" (should be "railway station")
"Loved ones"
"Passed away"
"Hubby"
"Invite" when it should be "invitation"
"Myself" (as in "Myself & Fred went to....")

‘Silly o’clock’. “We were out till s o’c”
“I was up at s o’c” Can’t bear it!

"Myself". Eg 'Could you return this email to myself'. It's ME - 'could you return it to ME please'. Also, 'myself and a colleague will be reviewing this'. It's 'a colleague and I will be reviewing this'. Hear it all the time - it really grates.

Yes - loved ones, passed away, and the misuse of myself are other annoying ones.

Puppies or even worse puppers to describe fully grown dogs. Especially my dog.

Also don't like belly.

Chester draws 🙄
