I'M LOVIN' IT

Thank you McDonalds and Justin Timberjake.

Another one strating to irk me is the increasing use of the word "random" to describe something vague or bizarre.

I thought the "h" was silent unless your talking about a guy named Herbert?

Whateva said:

remind me never to speak dutch to you then, although it's really my grammar that "SUX"

and that's one of my words: sux (sucks), neone (anyone), dat (that), all that crappola. I bet someone hates the word crappola though, and dude, one of my faves

yes, like honor

more "words" that irk me: than and then incorrectly, there, they're and there, your and you're....especially your when it's short for you are


and my very least favorite world in English is one i shant even type myself...but it was way overused in P Control, and the entire GoldN**** album, as well as proliferating society today as a "pleasant greeting"

PEJ said:

HI Pej

I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to word enunciation and grammar. Allow me to gie examples of some of my favorites:

"Can I have a double shot of expresso?"
"I"m going to the liberry to check out some books."
"We were conversating after the movie."

It also drives me bonkers when people DON'T pronounce the "h" when it should be pronounced, as in "yuman beings" and "yumorous comic strips." Ugh!

standoffish - eh...

figjams - althom

P B & J - just call it a fucking peanut butter and jelly




eh..

I was going to add "irregardless" to this list. One of my co-workers will use this word at least five times in any one conversation. I have the urge to tell him that it's not a word. Then I found this at Merriam-Webster online:

Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

Technically, I guess it is a word...just a dumb one.

munt to describe a gay man's asshole.....

i must say ive never heard of that one b4, so u have educated me

"yo"
"bee-otch"
"chillaxin'"
"dawg"
"bling"
"wardrobe malfunction"
"nipplegate"
"squaw" <--it may not be a slur on the level of ni**er, but holy shit, does it piss me off
"metrosexual"
"i'm lovin' it"
"Reality TV"
"traditional marriage"
"gunt" <--used to describe an overweight women's gut hanging over her cunt. Same goes for cankles.


Mispronunciations, ie:

LiBURRy
NukeUlar
TERnado
TURRists (terrorists)

Not so much the word itself, but people who can't go 2 minutes without bringing up Jesus.

I saw that coming!

It irks me when people say...

- for reals
- hells yeah

Why in bloody Sam H*ll are you adding the "-s" at the end! That's irritating hearing some stranger talk to his/her friends and you hear that.

Also,

"CONVERSATE"! No, weirdo... It's "converse"!

Another thing that gets to me: people who misspell tomorrow as "tomarrow." :Eww:

I know there's more.

cant stand:
cunt
prick (or however it may be spelled)
vagina (doesnt that sound like it should be used 2 describe some sort of disease or something?)
disgusting (just never really liked the word, dont really know y)

oh, and it really gets me mad when people use gay 2 describe something stupid, like "oh my goodness, would u shut up, ur so gay!" just makes me wanna tell em 2

cant think of any more right now...

OH G*D, here's one I used to HATE when I was in college:

"Good times."

"OMG, Sarah, I went to this, like, awesome party [describes party]... all-in-all it was good times."

-- OR --

Person #1: [insert meaningless conversation here]

Person #2's response: "Good times."

I used to be an English teacher, so I could really elaborate on this topic, but I will only add this:

Hey, the doctor just called...

lol yeah...kinda a ...man-cunt i guess...not that it's a part women don't also have, but...well...

"Youknowwhutumsayin'?" Arrgghh! I'll hear an interview and a rapper--it's usually a rapper--is saying this for clarity. But, usually I don't know what he's saying. Hooked on Phonics will make it more clear. Do I sound like Cosby?
