Irrational dislike of certain words

[Yellowrose 10]

NEWBIE

 

What sort of a word is that?

[lizzmobile 11]

I think it's a bit like rookie, Alyson. GRRRRR, whatever happened to trainee? Learners are rook-like now; what's that all about?

I know it's REALLY old English to say this, but I hate it when people say 'yourn' instead of 'yours'. I should like it really 'cos I love all that olde stuff, but I don't.

Management "buzzwords" bug me,

 

"Should of" instead of "Should have",

 

and I've never liked the word "frock". I'm not sure why. I think it's because it sounds really frumpy and old fashioned to me!

I cringe every time I hear the phrase "emotional rollercoaster". It seems that every interview on television has to include this phrase at least twice, and you can see it coming.

 

"How have the last two weeks been for you?"

 

"Oh its been a real ..... " (switch the tv off)

Not a word as such but people who say 'Could care less' should have their tongues cut out.

 

I blame too much American TV.

 

Or pronouncing it sKejule

I cannot abide the word 'coloured'

[Tim42 10]

Used to work with a woman who used to say Schewpid for stupid. Also top of the irritating list is the classic BASICALY.

[shoegal 10]

Lickle instead of little

Percific instead of specific

[chickmonk 10]

The word 'boobies' should be outlawed.

 

Any man who uses this word deserves to never get laid again.

 

Any woman who uses this word is clearly mad.

I get told off for continually using the word "chuck" as in "That's okay chuck".

 

Must try to think of a different word I suppose.
