What are your annoying words?

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.

I hear you brother :) sorry could not resist that one....

Not as weird as the face itself is. 

My partner hates it when people say "she herself said...", or "I myself did.."

Why? Why not just she, him, they or I? Why the need to put herself, himself, themselves, or myself after it before just getting on with the damn sentence?

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.

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. 

Bruh 

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) 

I don’t know if this is normal or if anyone else experiences this as well, But I guess I have trouble hearing and saying words that are to do with the subject of "Death". I apologise if mentioning this makes some people just as uncomfortable as it makes me but I guess I'm just glad somebody has asked this question. Anyways, some have suggested that perhaps the reason is because I am aware of my mortality and how life can be so precious. But there are two words in particular words that I can’t bear to hear and can’t even say myself as it causes me total discomfort and upset:-

Zombie/Zombies - This is mainly because they absolutely terrify me, I mean just me typing this word is causing my discomfort. It's so bad that I can't even look, say or hear the word without getting upset. I avoid anything that's to do with "Z's". In fact, it gets under my skin when certain people look at me funny when I tell them I never have and NEVER WILL watch 'Shaun of the dead'. Yes I know it's actually a dark comedy and I like comedy but it's all about "Z's" so please just drop it and leave me be! Even the title of the famous song from the Cranberries I can’t stand it because of course the title is "Z" word. 

Car Crash - I know technically this is two words but hopefully you'll understand where I'm getting at. You see, two years ago my best friend was almost killed in an accident involving a drunk driver... and she doesn't even drive, she actually in a taxi when it happened. Luckily she was alright (which people said it was a miracle she did) but it really shook me up as I was in the same taxi and had just been dropped off home mere minutes before the accident happened. But also because she has become more like a big sister to me and she always looks out for me, is very patient with me whenever I have a meltdown/panic attack and makes sure that I feel safe and comfortable. She is very dear to me and just the idea of losing her, not having her in my life really upsets me. Then to make things worse a year later, another one of my friends and her partner were involved in an accident again with a negligent driver. Thankfully not as severe as what my other friend went through but still they were lucky. Anyways, my point is because I almost lost two special people that very same way within a year of each other, it now gives me anxiety just hearing the mention of road accidents even on the news. I can't even say it as I have to say "Accident" as it makes me feel ill hearing the double "C". I don't drive but I sometimes now get very anxious whenever I have to go on a long car journey mainly at night. I think it mainly have to do with the fact that you not able to control the careless and reckless ones out there.

Anyways, sorry for going on a bit and I must sound utterly crazy or mad saying all of this. But I guess I felt safe to say it because I feel scared to talk about it in real life to anyone as I am scared I'll seen as crazy or mad for feeling this way about certain words... so thank you for asking this certain question it helped me get a lot off my chest

It is weird that I want to see the face?

I know, right? I pull a face every time I say or hear the word. 

You have reminded me of phrases that are not literally true, like saying something is 'killing me' when it isn't or 'starving' when just hungry.

I don't like the redundancy "visually it looks". No-one would say "audibly it sounds", or "tactilely it feels". It's ridiculous and annoying. 

The person I managed at work used "I aren't sure" constantly. Verbally and in writing. Her grammar was otherwise fine, so I'm guessing it was a regional thing, but it drove me mad. Literally mad that is. The stress of dealing with her, added to a whole load of other stresses, caused a bipolar episode. 

I can only think of a few examples, but I know there are more. The use of the word "shined" instead of "shone", "lunch" (and brunch, which you mentioned already)  - not sure why, they just sound clunky and unpleasant to me. I dislike some old sayings as well, e.g. "killing two birds with one stone", "I'd be cutting my own throat", "just rubbing his nose in it", because they conjure up literal and yucky mental images which I would be happier without.

I think a lot of people type how they talk, and if you were never taught it how are you meant to know?

I often use of instead of have, because thats how I speak, I only realised it was incorrect when the spell checker kept giving me wrigglies. Shouldn't it be spelling checker? I don't know I was never taught grammar or anything.

The people who use woke as an insult are either bigots or just don't know what it means.

I was told I was being woke and I said, 'yes did you only just realise that?'
