Words you hate hearing

Hatred of the word "would" is overrated.

 

The next day, The Good Doctor would find a dead horse in his bed...

 

Methinks I indeed would in an ideal world be looking live at Stuart Scott and Chris Berman. Irregardless, other than "each," "both," "either" and "already," I have no worries about other words; they don't impact me.

 

Although Dools' post can effectively be considered a valid "end of thread," I shall add another one to the list:

"preps" as a verb. As in, "Wie preps to miss another PGA cut."

The word is PREPARES, people. It cannot be abbreviated to "preps," no matter how little space you have to fit it in a headline.

Thank you, please drive through.

 

Or, "Wie preps to fail to win yet another LPGA event."

Carry on!

 

"We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.

"You get the picture? You're laughing now?"

I hate hearing that, especially after I just got up for a cup of coffee.

 

One I overheard some Aussie guys using during spring break in Daytona: Front Bum.

 

Hate the word "relationship."

Despise it when some says "I have no ideal" instead of "I have no idea."

Libary. Of course, it isn't a word, but a zillion people out there think it is.

 

IJAG's epitaph.

 

Futon

Den (My wife's aunt kept saying, "85 can turn that room into a nice den." It's an office. She probably said it 20 times in a two-hour span when we were moving in).

Veggies

I'll think of some more. I'm the king of hating certain words.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one on this one. It drives me NUTS. Unfortunately, I live in a state where pronunciations and correct grammer is something only us edumacated folk are willing see as important.

 

I know this guys who "drawls" really well. He had good "ideals" for sketches. He rarely "warshes" his clothes, though.
