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?

The saying love that for me.

Also when people pronounce words such as Fajita or jalapeño wrong!

Addicting when they mean addictive.

‘I turned around and said..’ It’s the turned around which grates. I don’t know why.

Hollibobs. It makes my blood boil 😡

Never heard of these

I don’t like the word lush when used for anything other than greenery.

And I really can’t stand it when someone calls them selves mummy when no kids are present.

I think I just hate people in general, actually.

Would love to throw in
Would of
Could of
Should of

I know language evolves but this is grammatically incorrect and makes no sense.

I hate :-
Bub
Bubba
So... used at the beginning of nearly every sentence
I was like...
Memory making.

wage (it’s salary)

Hmm, not always.

But my (highly unoriginal) additions are
Hubster
Bubs, bubba
Calling things "naughty" or "cheeky" that are clearly inanimate eg cheeky bubble bath, naughty dessert
Family time, famalam or anything about making memories
Me time

@Loubilou09
I agree. My boss says wages when she means salary.
Wages are paid weekly and a salary is monthly.

@Loubilou09 wages & salaries are two different things.

Incorrect use of 'like', ie 'There were like a few thousand of them'.

@user1473878824 Aren’t we ghastly! Let’s agree never to be sick poorly unwell and we’ll rub along famously.

SM posts for a child's birthday..... "And just like that, she is 3".... or whatever. Grrrrr.

EXpresso, noticed this whilst watching Below Deck too which is always twatty loaded people who are thick.

Saying ‘Are you with me?’.
No I’m f’ing not ‘with you’ you domineering t*.
You might as well say ‘I’m right aren’t I?’ ‘You agree with me don’t you?’

'Simples'

Arghhh makes me mad just typing it

And that they might be. but I’m referring to when someone says wage when they mean salary, hence the clarification in my post.

I also hate a smartarse

We were at some kids farm park once, and I overheard a woman telling her dc that they were going to the barber's. Funny I thought. Why is she going on about the barber's when they are out for the day. But as we walked along, I noticed that they went over to see the sheep and lambs. Yes, the baa-baa's. Urgh.

"I was sat...". No you weren't. You were sitting.
Poorly
"My little man"
Reaching out to someone
I'll mail you
We are pregnant.
Lickle
"I'm getting food in." In what?
That [xxx] though

I'm full of rage now 😂

Agree with a few people here re: "supper". Makes me think of lukewarm tea and cold greasy fish.

No clue why people still use it despite it being almost universally hated and so very clearly nasty as a word.

There's a growing trend where I live for old-timey independent restaurants that get called "supper clubs" and I don't think I've ever lost my appetite so quickly...

Pickles and gherkins are two different things

I also hate dreamy @deedeemegadoodoo. I have a friend who I absolutely love but I wish she'd stop saying dreamy and lush

@burritofan

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

All these. Apart from the last one as I don't know the poster's DP.

I don’t think that’s right either.

The essential difference between a salary and wages is that a salaried person is paid a fixed amount per pay period and a wage earner is paid by the hour. ... Someone who is paid wages receives a pay rate per hour, multiplied by the number of hours worked.

@PetticoatSoldier

All of the above plus 'that's a you problem'. Get to fuck with that nonsense 😆

Love your response…

“Get to fuck with that nonsense” 🤣

@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!!!!!

@DilemmaDelilah Omg you are my person. I'm probably outing myself as i just the only person in my entire massive global company who doesn't say fucking INVITE
