What are your annoying words?

When people interrupt a group of people by using a sentence starting with the phrase: "I'm so triggered ...".

(Nobody would hesitate to support someone who has found something to be a triggering experience ...those people don't seem to be the ones who are likely to start their sentence with the above phrase).

I understand it was originally a cultural word, but the young people often use aks instead of ask. Another is a Northern one, lickle instead of little or hospical instead of Hospital. It makes one of my eyes twitch!

'Innit' and 'like', used as meaningless space fillers in speech, "It's like really great, innit."

Street talk such as 'bruv' and 'safe'.

Almost any kind of slang words from my native tongue. Almost all of them sound like something an attention-seeking idiot would say for the sake of being an attention-seeking idiot.

Just remembered another one, "pinky promise".

A promise is already an agreement not break your word. There's shouldn't be levels to determine how willing/likely you are to keep it. If someone "pinky promises", that suggests to me that I shouldn't trust them when they "just" make a promise.

I remember Fern Brady intensely disliking "brekkie" for "breakfast". I love Fern, and want to petition her to allow Scousers off the hook with that one, because it is just what we say and it's not an affectation.

I dislike "hubby" too.

The dislikes for me aren't so much words, but how they are used.

My top one is "mum" used by people who are not their offspring. My mum was in a nursing home at the end of her days, and the manager would call her "mum" to me in that slightly patronising fashion. "After we've fed mum" etc. It also probably meant that she didn't need to remember names.

Another two:

Earworm

Ickle

With that guy I was never put on in the first place.

Agree. Instant put off

I always thought a pamphlet was a small pamph! Maybe it was a like a small leaf (leaflet)!

This may have roots from other languages.

Doesn't make the words any more useful, but is a potential explanation.

I dislike it when people who want something usually start the message saying “hope your okay”

I always think why don’t you leave out the insincere part and get straight to it 

That’s funny  

OMG

I hate it when people say stuff in texts,

"How's you" 

"Hows U"

How R U

 "What R U Up 2"

I just thought of another one. 

Gooey!

It gives me the creeps, and there's a reason. I once knew someone who had a bit of a crush on me and it wasn't reciprocated. I'm a queer man (bi/pan) but he really wasn't my type at all. His idea of connection was through entrapment and manipulation so I gave him a very wide berth when I found out.

Anyway, apparently one time when I was driving around I'd accidentally cut him off by pulling out of a junction. I had no idea this had happened, but he messaged me shortly after to tell me about it, and that he'd initially felt anger, but when he realised it was me he'd "gone all gooey".

Yuk! I felt like I needed a shower. 

I don't have any in general, but words I hear a lot can become annoying. A couple of words employed incessantly by the adolescent community at the moment - 'Humbling' and 'Queen' 

Grrr. 

At least it's not 'Bro' 

Worse. 

Ah well, language evolves I guess. 

There had to be one.
