To dislike certain words or abbreviations?

[AlwaysUltraFlexiWings]

LOL, ROFL, BD for example. Im also irrationally narked by phrases like

"I'll get me coat"
"End of"
or "Fact". Which is usually, placed, rather smugly at the end of a statement. (not necessarily a factually correct one either)

AIBU?

I can't bear it when someone makes a statement and adds "yes?" on the end.

Have never been able to bring myself to put lol or pmsl or rofl on an email or text. Doesn't really bother me when someone else does it though, as long as it's in context.

The other one is "Happy days".

i hate mners using american slang such as 'my bad' or 'ew'

i refuse to speak to anyone to says 'hello you' to me

shockers...

Also statements where somebody says "No?" at the end in much the same way.

James O'Brien on LBC does it all the time.

Punctuating every sentence with "y'know". As bad as saying "like".

Politicians who say, "Let me be very clear" and then carefully avoid answering the question. Gaaah!

guestimate.... dont get me started!

When my daughter says "Muuummmmmmm"....

Ed Balls is the worst offender for the 'let me be very clear' thing. And he always starts every sentence with 'Look, Jeremy' or 'Look, Andrew'. Bloody irritating.

People who starts using phrases from adverts. SIMPLES!

mumbobumbo Just as irritating!

Hubby. Especially when said in a simpering voice.
Aaaargh!

Ooh, also 'awesome'in any other context than it should be used in, don't think I will ever use it to describe anything ever again!

You bunch of mardy old hags!

now, that MrsM, is a phrase I like!

i meant "now, that, MrsM,..."

(punctuation error)

oh em jee
OMG said as the letters ahhh

Oh I am having a ball reading through this thread!

The words I irrationally hate are:

Xmas (instead of full-blown Christmas.....see, it isn't so difficult)
Hubby
End of.
Going Forward
Kiddies
Lads

The way people raise their intonation at the end of sentence which isn't a question

Pretty much everything ever uttered by Jeremy Kyle and his vile guests.

I must admit to being guilty of using the term "bolleaux" on here

fashion singulars. eg, 'A pleated trouser'; 'A bold lip'; 'A festive eye'; but not usually 'A sheepskin slipper' or 'A thermal knicker'.

End of. FACT.

using 'myself' and 'yourself' instead of 'me' and 'I' in the mistaken belief that it makes yourself sound more official and important.

ALL those political ones like 'going forward', 'fit for purpose' and especially referring to 'government' instead of THE government.

also 'a myriad OF flavours/sofas/drain solutions' when it's 'myriad flavours/sofas/drain solutions'

"If you will" used instead of "Do you know what I mean?"

Another vote for fashion singulars here, too

The absolute worst example of this was in the Guardian weekend magazine a month ago which referred to Kate Moss wearing "a black tight "

Since when has it been possible to wear a tight??

Hate it when you go to a restaurant and when they put down your dinner, they say "ENJOY"

it has been actually been known to make me dry heave on occasions.

I'm glad you brought up the myriad thing, wildfig, I've always hated that too. Now here's one - pray tell me and I right or wrong on this? When someone describes something as 'evocative'. Just on it's own. Surely you must say 'the scent of bougainvillia is evocative of a mediterranean garden' or some such nonsense, it cannot just be 'evocative' as an adjective on its own can it? Becuase then the verb would be 'to evoke' and something can't just evoke!

(Perhaps we should be moved to pedants' corner .)

I hate the word 'chrimbo' & also 'rellies'.

using "off of" instead of from.....wtf !

ffs is just appalling, fgs is nearly as bad

roffling is a lovely verb and should be in the oed

also wtf!!!!! makes my lip curl

omg yes, that is so childish

FACT makes me want to punch people up the throat

OMG!!!!!!!!!

isn't it awful
