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 - especially if the person can't pwonounce their r's pwoperly.
  • 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?

    Chill 

    Hubby

    Wifey 

    Tunes (some people pronounce it as Chune) 

    Reach (I sometimes hear people pronounce it as reachted) 

    When people pronounce Tuna as (Chuna)

    Bruh, hubby and wifey I dislike and never use those words. It makes my body feel like it’s going to explode when I hear others say it as well. I also don’t like the word babe.

    I don't like bruh, but I also don't like bro or brother. It feels false and forced, especially in the white community for some reason. It feels like it has toxic manosphere vibes and that makes me avoid men who call each other that.

    Unfortunately it seems to be something that many men are adopting, especially online, in men's forums or in gym culture.Its not for me.
