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?

  • Outfit, a word used by my dad usually negatively to comment on what I was wearing

    Slacks, a nasty term for casual trousers

    Genre and other words that it's hard to stop saying

    Strident, a word that only used for women who express a feeling or opinion in public

    "ee or y" when placed at the end of a name, I called my dog Fearn, short, easy, but people insist on calling her Fearny, as it seems they can't cope without an "ee" sound in dogs names.

    Words that are shortened in speech, like awks, and when they're used in any context thats not a text message.

    You-Tube, just annoying
