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?

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!!!!!

This.

Also supper, nibbles, lippy.

I don’t mind the word ‘so’ at all, but I hate it at the start of every sentence.

Also dislike ‘can I get’

Thanks buddy ....when used by a 17 year old young man in any cafe/ pub etc speaking to my 59 year old husband. I can feel my husband wincing every time

Gives me the rage

‘Dreamy’ when talking about a nice dress or interiors.
Hubster / hubby.

Hun
Babe
You do you
All the above equally infantile and infuriating.

Guesstimate - it's either a guess or an estimate.

Source - why does everyone source everything nowadays why can't we just find things anymore????

Pud - I could cheerfully kill anyone who says this. It is pudding. Almost invariably said by middle class women who are obviously so busy running their kids to various vicarious activities etc in the SUV that they haven’t got time to say “big” aaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!

Ing not big lol

Nom nom, wage (it’s salary), The fam - what on earth is so difficult about adding “ily” on the end

"For sure"

Yes also to hollibobs, lil' , fur babies and doggo

Also "bey"

What's wrong with dollop??

People saying 'issue' when they mean 'problem'. Nobody is allowed to have problems nowadays.

'Party' and 'inbox' being used as verbs 🤮

So many hate Nana or Nan, but I think that Granny sounds dreadful!

I think Brufen is a brand name for ibuprofen in the US.

Hun/Hon

Lush

Oh and possibly my most hated one, which is mainly on BBC News

My BBC pet hate is “so called” They started it with “so called” ISIS and now it’s so called bloody everything.

Invite instead of “invitation”
Girlfriend
Y’all (and by extension, “Happy Fall, Y’all!!!”) instead of “everyone”/ “all of you”. Sounds especially odd if the speaker isnt from the American South.
We’re pregnant
staycation

Crimbo
Holibobs
Maccy ds

and right now anything anybody says as I am fucking furious. (thanks hormones)

“Poorly” and “tummy” even worse when used together. Not so bad when used around a child, about a child but when it’s someone discussing themselves or another adult it makes me rage.

What the actual fuck is wrong with brew?

Think you need a history lesson.

@madnessitellyou

Thought of another.

Brufen.

Can anyone medical explain why ibuprofen comes out as brufen?

A local pharmacist calls it 'ibrofen' I hate cuppa and brekkie. I also detest the phrase 'going forward'. Oh, and poop instead of poo.

'Poorly' - please say ill or unwell

'Go smash it' - only if it's a tennis ball

'Cheeky little wine' - ludicrous

'Bab', 'Babe', 'Hun' - no thank you, ever

Needs done is definitely Scottish. Hear it all the time here.
The cats wants out
The car needs washed.

I use so many of the ones mentioned on here 🤣
