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?

  • 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!
