[kevboard]

brewery, and words that sound similar to it.

I generally am not a fan of the english "r", especially in most American accents. most uses of that letter just sound like someone's choking on their own tongue... or as if they try to talk with a gobstopper in their mouth.

so in words like brewery, where there's not only 2 of them, but also accompanied by a w sound, it just literally sounds like your tongue is numb or you had a stroke while talking. brewery is just the worst example that comes to mind, but there are probably more words like it that I can't think of currently.

 

[ahtlas7]

Cream. It’s the word equivalent to stroking a cat’s fur the wrong way.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Yikes.

That and starting a sentence with so.

So I fell over today is exactly the same as I fell over today. Don’t know why people have started adding it to everything.

Hate.

 

[Rockondevil]

Subtle. Only because for some reason, even though I know how to pronounce it, if I’m not thinking I would say sub-tle.

I now just don’t use it.

You should have a basic grasp of Latin if you're working in Curry's

For me, any word that suddenly becomes the latest buzzword on twitter/social media e.g. rawdogging etc. Everyone trying to invent new crazy slang and make it stick

WORDS THAT KILL

 

[light2x]

"Wholesome"

 

[Mistake]

-Diarrhea.
Not only does it bring terrible pictures to mind, it's also a bitch to spell.
-Cyst.
Same reasons, but easier to spell

 

[spons]

"Problematic" and "troubling" lost all their meaning in the past couple of years.

 

[Pejo]

OP you already got my #1. 2nd is the phrase "my brother in christ". Really any reddit-speak is like nails on a chalkboard to my brain.

Cooked/Cooking

I'm not taking about like, "I cooked some food", but more like "Bro is cooked" or "Bro is cooking". I fucking hate it. I feel like this dumb shit came out of no where 3 months ago and everything is cooked or cooking.

 

[FunkMiller]

I CAN'T FUCKING SPELL STRAGETY.

Cis can get fucked as well. Sounds like something you'd have removed from your arse.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Cooked/Cooking

Aight.. Imma let ya cook.

I'm not taking about like, "I cooked some food", but more like "Bro is cooked" or "Bro is cooking". I fucking hate it. I feel like this dumb shit came out of no where 3 months ago and everything is cooked or cooking.

Shoulda never let ya cook fml

 

[Lambogenie]

Currently very hated; wild and yikes

Also hate [animal] mum.

And for patterns or style, those damn youtubers in long form videos "you see,[explains the history]".

Oh, and "quote". I know it's to make it clear in journalism.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Pretty much whenever I hear someone saying "woke" it's some tedious moaning bullshit by someone that is using the word to mean "things I don't like"

 

[kurisu_1974]

"welp"

I understand it is analogue to "yep" but I don't know, seems people starting a sentence with "welp" usually have a bad take brewing. I also never heard it being used in real life.

Also this thread is kinda fire ngl.

"Just stop" or "stop" is another one in that vein that's often used, mostly when virtue signalling.

[Lambogenie]

When someone says:

Wait..

And then asks a stupid dumb fucking question

Why do we have to wait?

Because they usually take that moment to regather their thoughts. It's not a bad use, usually.

"Wait, I thought it was that way..."
"Wait, it was supposed to be the other one?!"

It's a quick, momentary pause. Or should be.

Edit: oh, you mean really dumb question and valley girl bimbo type? I don't know then.. maybe same reasoning.

 

[Lambogenie]

Can we also add other annoyances like vocal fry and upspeak/ending on high intonation or whatever elongation it is some people do when presenting.

[Mr Reasonable]

When someone says:

They're trying to piece together the question.

I'm fairly sure it's an affectation from films.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Ooh I thought of another.

Everything.

In the context of "the way X [does thing] is everything."

For example:
A social media clip showing an actor looking at their partner.

"The way Ryan Reynolds looks at Blake Lively is everything. "

Now, I'm sure Ryan Reynolds loves his wife and that's nice. But it's actually incorrect that his gaze is everything. How can it be?

It's not this spoon. It's not my trousers. It's not my glass of lemonade. It's not that bird. It's not the car that just drove past. It's not the sign over there. It's just a look.

It's disoriented.

"would of"

it's "would have"

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Disorientated

Nothing wrong with this.

 

[dave_d]

Antisocial, mostly because a lot of people use it wrong. They use it when they actually mean asocial. (No they don't mean the same thing, "anti" is against "a" is without. Antisocial is stuff that damages society and asocial is spending time by yourself.)

 

[Oberstein]

Discombobulate.

 

[kurisu_1974]

If we are also talking about wrong use of words or idioms, I have seen a lot of posters here say "news at 11" as if they just dropped the mic. But it makes them look silly because it makes no sense. The news already happened, there is " "film at 11" tho.

Yes, I grew up watching The Kentucky Fried Movie many, many times.
