What are your annoying words?

Deleted User

I have a few that I don't like to hear or say for various reasons. Possibly because they're linked to people I no longer speak to, or I hear them in a funny accent that grates on me. Here's my list of the ones I can remember.

  • Brunch - ***
  • Bric a brac - Similar reason above
  • Crockery - It's just annoying
  • Pamphlet - It's a leaflet!!!!
  • Napkins - or any other insipid cutesified word that finishes with 'kins'.
  • Ointment - Sorry CatWoman. You're the inspiration for this thread, although this one is only mildly annoying and it reminds me of Patsy Byrne in Blackadder 2. Rofl

I can't think of any others right now but I'm sure some of you will be able to trigger them. What are yours?

    When it is used incorrectly (eg "I was just, like, walking down the road and he said....").

    It is completely redundant in its use and seems to be used to give peoples brains time to catch up with their talking speed.

    and Literally when it is also used incorreclty (eg "literally everyone hates her"). Clearly those who don't know her cannot hate her so it is used incorreclty as it has no qualification in its use.
