What's a word or phrase you hate or dislike more than anything?

[Simslover92]

I hate situationship. That word really bothers me. It didn't used to but people use it so much now and think it's cute to be in one when it's not.

[Bricealan]

@Simslover92 I have several, that various morons have used and they seem to have stuck in the lexicon. "Functionality" - as in "more functionality" It has more functions. Yes?

"Physicality" Some half-wit on one of the Sports Networks ESPN used the 'word"? to describe some basketball player as a stronger- more agile player. Physicality"? WTF?

While working in a machine shop, reviewing various, shop-floor manufacturing drawings, some idiot sales guy brought me a print, and told me, 'TO MY FACE, "We're just changing the "Material" to Stainless Steel, and keeping the same 'Dimensionality" I just sat there and looked at the idiot, who was simply trying to sound like a 'techie' and said to him, "Change to Stainless Steel, and maintain the same dimensions on the part" ?

Now, we have three "new words' to add so our vocabulary: Functionality, Physicality, and 'dimensionality"

[Bricealan]

@Simslover92 I couldn't agree more: "Situationship" What the hell?

[Simslover92]

Right.

[OlderAndWiser]

Baby daddy is a suck ass expression.

[ElenaSeluna]

@OlderAndWiser I like to say “daddy” but not “baby daddy” 😄

[Dargil]

Simpler expression for baby daddy: sperm donor.

[OlderAndWiser]

Baby daddy trivializes the casualness with which young people have children out of wedlock and condemn them to a life with only - at best - one parent.

[sage2021]

I hate words that people make up and aren't even in the dictionary.

For instance:

Chucky Schumer used the word "Trumpisim" during his speech the other day.

I wonder what it means. 🤔

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO 🙂

[Abbycado]

Moist 😐🔫

[Simslover92]

Yeah I can't stand that one either 😒

[Abbycado]

😭😭😭

[Abbycado]

Ty for mho!

[Simslover92]

Yw hun!

[slatyb]

"Newbie" or however you want to spell it. To me it's baby talk that adds nothing to the language. We already had "novice", "newcomer", and "beginner". It seems to be fading. I'm happy about that.

I don't hate all new words -- many of them are useful. "Situationship" makes sense to me. I like slang like "sus" -- I think it will stay. Not all slang does: "tubular", "history", "toast" among others are all toast.

[FunkyMonkee]

Bugs me, too!! There is no such word!!
"Unalived" is another one that really pisses me off!!
People starting nearly every sentence with the word, "So" or, "I mean...". How can you MEAN something when you haven't said anything, yet?
"So" comes AFTER you've already told somebody something, like you're continuing what you were talking about or had to go in a different direction for a moment and then came back to your main story line. You DON'T just START UP with, "So...".
"How's your mother doing today?"
"So, she's doing better, thank you."
I'm sure there's a number of others, I just don't recall them off the top of my head.

[FunkyMonkee]

Just thought of a couple! People using "woman" when they mean "women" and vice versa.
Also, people today calling records, "vinyls". In the first place, the plural of, "vinyl" is still, "vinyl". Secondly, we don't call CD's, "plastics" or, "foils", do we?
"Good to go" always bugs me, too but, that's more from a harrowing personal experience I had back in the `80's than so much for over-use but, it DOES get over-used a tad.
"Back in THE day"! WHICH DAY? Am I just supposed to KNOW which day you're referring to?
"Like" is also incredibly over-used. Even the people in "the valley" that started doing that 40 years ago don't do it anymore, as far as I know!
I also don't like that EVERYTHING today is reduced to an acronym and we're all just supposed to know what each and every one of them stand for!! I suspect that, before long, entire sentences will be reduced to that and people will use just one acronym to say a full sentence! Then, people will think THOSE are too long reduce each of THOSE to an acronym and, before long, we'll be back to speaking in grunts and groans, again!!! Kinda like how, if a dolphin makes a few clicks and squeaks, that's the Gettysburg Address!!
People using "of" instead oof "have"! It's bad enough that they just never seemed to learn that "should HAVE" is shortened to "should've"! So, they say, "should of". How does one "of"? They never explain that part!! But, to have them actually write it out, "I should of taken that English class in college!!"
Baby daddy / baby momma. It sounds like someone's talking about a baby that had a baby!! If black people have everything so bad, why is if that every time they come up with some new terminology, white people HAVE to copy them? That's where, "back in THE day" comes from!

[FunkyMonkee]

And, while I'm in the ballpark, "nigga"! I was at a bus stop yesterday when I heard two black guys shake or slap hands and one said, "My nigga.". They would've both shot me if I went up to them and asked if either would like to be my nigga. So, you CAN'T tell me that, "nigga" is better or different from, "n**"!! And, how is my spelling it differently, like if I dropped the number 4 between the 2 g's, how does that take the sting away from that word when you already KNOW what it means without the 4?
https://youtu.be/X6WX3awlAYI?si=bjSNUhTa25fXHcJf
Why can't people just SAY the word, "billion"? They ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE to follow it with, "That's billion with a B". DUUUUUHHHHH, NO FUCKING SHIT, SHERLOCK!!! I'm SOOOO GLAD you told me!!! All these years, I've been spelling it with Q!! They NEVER say, "That's million with an M." or, "That's trillion with a TR."!! Or, "That's hundred, with an H."
"The fuck?" That's a question? "WHAT the fuck?", I can understand! But, "The fuck?" makes no sense at all!!
"Hating on"! How do you hate ON something? More ebonics!! If you're too fucking lazy to say, "The baby's father", "What the fuck?" or "Back in the `60's..", why would you ADD a word to a phrase that doesn't need one?
There's another one in my head, I just can't make it come to my mouth or fingers!

[FunkyMonkee]

Phrases like, "I'm not understanding" instead of, "I don't understand". I'm loving that.", instead of, "I love that."
People that feel they have to repeat, "is" when trying to explain something by starting with, "The thing is...". Quite often, they'll say, "The thing is is, ...". You've already said, "is" once! You don't NEED to repeat it!! I knew a guy I used to work with that'd actually say, "The thing is is is...".
The over-use of the word, "actually". My nephew used to start nearly every sentence with it. I haven't seen him or heard from in almost 10 years (thank Buddha!!) so, I have no idea if he still does. Last I heard, the local paper said he was getting arrested for graffiti. He was nearly 30 years old, at the time!
People using the term, "shit ton". Does a ton of shit weigh any more or less than a ton of anything else? The correct usage would either just be, "a ton" (or, "a ton of that shit") or, "a shitload".
Also, the term, "a tad bit". A tad IS a bit! So, saying "tad bit" is redundant. "A tiny bit" would be the correct usage. Even, "A tiny tad" or just, "a tad".
People that'll refer to someone twice in a row. "My friend, Bill, he went for a walk." You've already mentioned that you were talking about Bill, you don't have to add, "he", we already know who you're referring to. You SHOULD say, "My friend, Bill went for a walk." Or, if you were already talking about Bill in a previous sentence, "He went for a walk.".
"Suffice it to say". The word, "suffice" is just a fancier version of the word, "enough". they both mean the same thing. Would you say, "enough it to say"? No, you'd say, "enough to say". Also, "suffice" is not a verb so, you can't suffice anything. Therefore, you can't (or shouldn't) say, "suffice it to say". "Suffice to say" will suffice!

[FunkyMonkee]

"He's going to disappear it." You can't "disappear" ANYTHING! The correct word is, "vanish". Either, "He will vanish it." or, "He will make it vanish." He CAN, "cause it to disappear" or "make it disappear" but, he can't "disappear" something.

[FunkyMonkee]

"Your guys's". How about just, "your"? Or, "What do you guys think?"

[Bárbara1402]

Do you realize that the things you are complaining are related to knowledge of English grammar and not everyone has English as first language so we are allowed to do some mistakes

[FunkyMonkee]

@Bárbara1402 Absolutely but I'm talking about Americans, mostly adults, that SHOULD know better by now!
My ex-fiance was from India and didn't come here until she was 18. I was never a slouch in spelling but even she corrected me 3 or 4 times in the 10 years we were together.

[BCRanger10]

Honestly, I hate most of the stupid new half-words and grunts I hear from most of the two generations after me.

I hate it when people say "like" every other word.

I couldn't care less whether "6-7" is an occult curse, something covertly sexual, or just a dumb meaningless filler word. I never want to hear it again!

[Rangers]

"If you love something, let it go". No, if you love someone or something, chase it. Giving up and letting her go doesn't show love, it shows the exact opposite by showing you don't love them enough to give a damn.

If a girl ever pulls that, I'll retort with "If you loved me, you'd stay and fix things, not run, the second it's not all bushes and daisies"🙄

[Simslover92]

Right. I definitely agree here

[abc3643]

Most current bullshit phrasing... yeah, like "situationship"... that will become as stupid sounding in 10 years as "groovy" does today. And I fucking hate emojis! Speak English (or whatever your language is). And I hate G@G's autoemojis and autoincorrect.

[Zack-Bann]

I agree.
I like calling a cat a cat. Not dressing things up to sound more sophisticated or artsy than they are


If we’re fucking then just say we’re fucking, it doesn’t need another label


And there’s plenty of other phrases out there that do the same thing: embellish a raw truth.
I prefer the truth any time

[MrChinaski]

There is a whole bolus of 'If I can just say...', 'No offence intended, but', 'I hear what you are saying, but', 'that's fair, though', 'no disrespect intended', 'Not to sound harsh but', 'I agree up to a point, but', 'You know I'm always supportive of you, but' ...

...

... followed by the rudest, most offensive, least caring, most pile imaginable, served cold. No chaser..

We all know what you've done here. Stop doing it, people.

[ElenaSeluna]

@MrChinaski add to them “you know what I mean” 😄

[FunkyMonkee]

You might like this short version of a full interview. Ya know what I'm sayin'?

[HawkPerception]

All the kids saying 6 7 nowadays are pissing me off. I still don't know what it means and refuse to care to know. It sounds ridiculous. Same with all the new gen alpha terms.

[ElenaSeluna]

[Miristheiss]

I f you give sex, risk disease, pregnancy with a man NOT your husband.

You are probably in one and your chances of having a healthy long term relationship go down.

[Simslover92]

That's true. Good thing I'm not.

[exitseven]

I had a boss that used to say "best practices" and "teachable moment". My guys knew I hated this guy so when were in meetings with him, every time he would use one of those phrases thay all would look at me.

[Chazmatazz269]

I was in the “brother” game before “bro” and “bruh” came along. I still throw “brother” out there very occasionally, but i wanna smack the taste out of every mouth that utters “bro” or “bruh” in my presence.

[spartan55]

You must sound like Hulk Hogan... brother... lol

[Chazmatazz269]

That thought did occur to me. Especially because i have a deeper voice than most. More often than not, i’m referring to my union brothers when using the word. Occasionally though, i will apply it to a close friend or relative.

[spartan55]

Same for my usage. You can't say it willy nilly without sounding like a tool.

[ElenaSeluna]

It’s not that I dislike it but I don’t like when someone keeps saying “like, like” at the beginning of every word they are saying 😄

[purplepoppy]

Unalive. I cringe when I hear it. We've plenty of better more accurate words, kill, murder, slaughter, euthanize, etc we don't need this stupid word.

[FunkyMonkee]

"Off" is another option.

[DryGermanGuy]

Apart from that dumb-sounding „like“ every three seconds, it’s screwing up regular expressions. For example: „The car was fully involved in flames.“ Gah!!! 😡

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Baby daddy/momma

I will instantly loose 30 respect points for you. It's disgusting to call someone's father or mother that. Especially if they're around in any capacity.

[joehypo1]

I hate how they always compare things to hiroshima , as far as explosions or disasters of that nature

[Pohjolan]

Situationship isn't really a thing. You either are in a relationship or you are not.

[Simslover92]

Right it's not.

[MrOracle]

"Conversate" makes me want to pimp slap anyone who says it. The word is CONVERSE.

[Dargil]

CUNT. As bad as the N word.

[CherryLove007]

"That's hot". luv ya Paris Millions. lol

[CherryLove007]

oh and also... Noneya..."Noneya Business"

[tfan1]

Several. The main one is the f bomb. Macerating, dick, cock and all slang words for penis. A penis is a penis. Just say penis 👍🙂

[Shiprex]

"I could care less" when COULDN'T care less is what you mean.

[MikeTheBartender]

Okra... The vegetable... It makes me remember my ex that put me through two years of hell!

[MannMitAntworten]

The use of “Like” as a “filler word” when some individuals speak.

[noohair]

At the end of the day.. It discounts 23 hours and 59 seconds.

[msc545]

I hate the phrase "at the end of the day".

[SixFootSexy]

What about friends with benefits?

[Simslover92]

That's a close second and sort of the same thing.

[SixFootSexy]

Yeah, but have you done it before?

[Simslover92]

Unfortunately. But it's not the way to go. I would never recommend it.

[SixFootSexy]

How can you spread that info to young women so they can skip the same mistakes?

[Simslover92]

I can try on here and in my book I'm writing. It has a lot about the mistakes I've made especially that one.

[Hopeless30]

"Im all yours" the moment I heard this i get irritated 😂

[najekim]

"Have you heard the word of God today?" I mostly reply I don't subscribe to that nonsense.

[beenherebefore]

'When you know you know'

[KostasKouvalis]

When people say, "That's dope."

[Massageman]

the phrase "than anything"

[Jerre]

The C word, C.. t

[Zionne]

i hate hating
