"YASSS" I don't even want to call it a word, it's an abomination.
vote normal if you agree with me, not normal if you disagree
ALSO.....
Share a word in the comments you can't stand.
They shouldn't be allowed in public areas. It's a serious health risk. They should all be sent to a little commune somewhere with their own kind. They can have an unvaccinated teacher and nurse and grow their own food and live out their days there. When they all contract a preventable disease and start dying off they won't be putting anyone else at risk. Everybody wins.
Waifu and husbando. Normally when a person uses that word in real life, it's a good indicator that they're not going to be fun to talk to. XD
Waifu? In English, isn't is jut "wife"? And in German, isn't it WaifencookencleaninsexenbitchinflobbercoskerhaibitueinenenschuldigenSiebitteh?
It means wife. It's a made up word to make "wife" sound more Japanese.
And it's used by dorks obsessed with anime. They sit with their little hard-ons, watching anime fox-girls, or regular anime girls and go "OMG she is mai waifu" and want to have a fictional, animated character as a wife XD
If that's not laughable, I don't know what is...
I also hate this word. It seems to be falling out of fashion, thank god.
Do you remember "canoodling"? When did people stop saying that? It's a hilarious term that I much prefer to "snogging".
idk what that's supposed to mean, but i gotta say i actually kind of like that one. lol noodly noodles :3
Heehee
I now have this lovely mental image of 2 people having a pool-noodle fight in my friend's swimming pool 😂
I just remember it from my school days, they always had that sign at the swimming baths;
"No heavy petting
No canoodling
No diving"
And they always had that weird cartoon of the boney people dry humping in the shallow end. It was the height of comedy at my school.
The word 'society' - or rather, the way people use it. Especially people who are trying to look clever in front of an audience. I hate the way they scapegoat society as some big evil villain 'out there', at a safe distance from everything to do with themselves, as if they too were not also a part of it. Do they live in a hermit cave hidden at the bottom of the woods? Are they a newly arrived refugee with no friends, family, job or meaningful acquaintances? As I see it, only those kinds of people can talk about society as something 'other'.
I hear you. And actually agree to a large degree. But on another hand, perhaps in my habit of ALWAYS wanting to play the devils advocate, i cannot help but think that one could still discuss societal norms while still being apart of society and simultaneously not partake in those societal norms that they are criticizing.
I hear your point though, and I think probably more often then not your right, their is a level of hypocrisy, then again (here i go again devil advocating my own statement) hypocrisy can actually be like subconscious self criticizing, almost as if someone who always eats fast food might say " I hate how society has made all this shit food available everywhere" - as to say ...even I, Im a "victim" of this societal norm, I support it with my money while equally hating it, eg I hate myself too for addictively supporting this societal norm. so , i'd say that person can still speak up against it even if they are apart of it, so long as they are humble to include that their own shadow side as apart of it too. which in your example doesn't sound like the case, so I would agree, without humble self reflection it's often annoying for sure.
Well-reasoned argument. I'm thinking mainly about preppy students' English presentations on ethics topics and arguments with people who have a lot more emotion to offer, than substance.
I like playing devil's advocate too 😉. One example... are norms bad just because people say they are in a convincing way?
Hubby, wifey (fortunately not as common but still horrid), fur baby, mini me
Fur baby especially annoys me. It takes longer to say than any of the reasonable alternatives so why use it? Just to make people vomit?
Mini me is only acceptable if you're an evil bald guy holding the world ransom for one million dollars with a clone that went wrong during development and you call it "Mini me"
Selfie, cringe, hashtag, yolo, woke, lit, cray and squad. I especially hate that last one.
Are you in the army?! No, you're a college kid about to get smashed on jagermeister and tequilla with your drinking buddies and then puke on the sidewalk yelling "Yolo". You are not a squad!
I can't stand "squad". I really hate it when they say, "where you at", and, "squad", together.
I was in the army many years ago. Quick breakdown -
One platoon is about 40 to 60 people, roughly. That is broke down onto four squads of 10 to 15.
Anyways we are standing there and our platoon sargent called, "PLATOON! ATTENTION!" But right after he said "platoon" I yelled "Squadron!" He was like "Private Jones*, just get busy! (scoff) squadron..." That means I was doing pushups after.
Ehh, I guess you had to be there.
*Name changed to protect the guilty
Yo 'ma squad, where you at? Let's get crunk and make this party cray lit! We be woke all night, hashtag squadgoals! Yolo homies, we be down like a clown!
*black Mercedes drives away angrily*
YASSS, I know what you mean that literally makes my head explode in AMAZING fireworks when my squad says where you at like im all like no ...where YOU at homes, ya feel me Bruh?, you know, it is what it is, like, It's like, OMG FML.
Most of those, like "cringe", are fine. "Selfie" is literally just
a normal noun and it's in common use by now. "Woke", "lit", and increasingly, "yolo" are mostly used ironically. I've never heard anyone say "cray" IRL.
I think it depends more on who is saying it than the word itself.
BUT.. if I had to pick some words I do not like -
Crevice, save, receive, synergy, thick.
Synergy just sounds like some young office worker with his nose crammed up the boss'es ass.
Save and receive sounds like someone in church crying at the statue of Jesus.
I guess in the context of not having sex?
Like, "the only 100% way to prevent pregnancy is..."
That is not totally true though. The only 100% way to prevent pregnancy is by wearing Crocs.
midnight ad ..."Call your doctor and ask about how you can get laid today" * smiling couples* *dad fishing*
Yep, I hate the idea of not having sex. You gotta problem with that? Also, please explain the joke. I would stick my dick in someone wearing crocs!
What Ellenna said and also people acting like it makes them better than me or that something is wrong with me because I broke my 'abstinence' pledge in 6th grade health class.
I have never seen anyone thinking that being a virgin makes them better, unless maybe they are very religious.
Case in point. I was raised religious and as a result, I went on my own with mostly christian friends. And lets just say that my best friend from high school who thought he was a 'christian mentor' of mine, found out I had premarital sex and abandoned me as a roommate and quit being friends with me as a result.
I doubt it is this way for others, and lucky them! But the question was what word do I hate, and that is it.
Your friend was a jerk to you. You didn't do anything wrong there, so he really had no reason to act that way.
I never understood why people judge other people when it comes to sex. I've seen prude religious people look down on others for having lots of sex partners and I've seen people who have sex a lot look down on people who are waiting until marriage. The whole thing is so dumb. It's just sex! People should be able to have as much sex or as little sex as they want without people acting like their decision is a big deal. XD
He abandoned you as a friend for having premarital sex?
Kind of sounds like he is in love with you and was extremely jealous...
That is a really extreme reaction from your so called friend. You're better off without that person in my less than humble opinion.
You know, just speaking his name causes arguments. Supporters know he is a liar and bigot.
His very name is blasphemous to all that is good.
It is almost synonymous to saying "God damn it".
wonder if "pulling a Donald trump" will ever become a slur of sorts or a way to describe bad behavior far into the future as people forget the roots but just associate the name with "negative"
indifferent of whether you think that is a right or wrong association , it could one day happen
I also hate a word. I'm also going to tell you what it is, but I should let you know that I don't hate it on its own; I hate it when it's also used incorrectly.
I hate when the word literally is used for figurative emphasis.
I completely disagree. I *love* the fact that one of the definitions of "literally" is "not literally". It's beautiful and absurd and glorious. It's a celebration of the English language. It's literally the best thing ever.
I agree! although, to play devils advocate, I feel the word can be used to express intentional hyperbolic statements and is therefore sometime useful even when used that way.
Example: someone says " I'm so hungry, I could literally eat a horse" Sure, this is an incorrect use of the word and often can be annoying especially when over done, but at the same time it's a hyperbolic way to express just how outrageously hungry you are. To say, "Im so hungry, i could figuratively eat an entire horse" just wouldn't ring right. no?
Ye, I get what you're saying, and language changes, but this is just such the direct opposite use of what the word meant. Literally means it actually 100% happened how you said it happened. So if you literally shit yourself when someone scared you then you would add the word literally to explain that you actually 100% did shit yourself. Using it in the figurative sense is the complete opposite of what the word is meant to be, and there's no other word to take the place of literally, so now not only is the word being used for it's exact opposite word, but it's also left a gap in English.
I agree with you almost entirely. Just an attempting to be the devils advocate. Also, There is a small part of me that feels that in the right poetic context that it can still be useful to use words incorrectly.
It is true that it has left a bit of a gap, so much so that when someone says they "literally" did something you instantly question if they really DID DO THAT. But then again, it's usually paired with an equally outrageous obviously untrue statement , so there for, the point in their over excessive exaggeration in attempts to draw at some excessively above normal event/desire is usually clear.
Don't get me wrong, I find it annoying too most of the time. But at the same time their is apart of me that feels its okay to blur language to get other kinds of meanings, and so therefore, dare i say it, I almost feel that it is okay to use in that way SOMETIMES.
In part, because I can't find another easy way to give the same effect to an intentional hyperbolic statement meant to draw at your excessive above normal feelings.
For example " Man, It literally took me a million hours to get through traffic today" Yes, one could say "man, it took me 4 hours sitting in traffic to get here and I'm so frustrated because it felt as if it was an absolute eternity waiting in traffic" but to the listener they almost immediately mean the same thing.
Again, devils advocate hard core right now! haha. Its more formal in other ways of course, but the other quickly conveys an over the top feeling in fewer words when paired correctly with an outrageous statement. It is still flawed, it can be annoying, especially when it's over used, but id say If it is indeed paired with an absolutely outrageous obviously untrue statement that the meaning is conveyed very clearly, which is the goal of language after all, no?
Any emote or emoji name, like "poggers" or "kappa". Pisses the shit out of me.
My friend always overuses these things:
“ExDEEEEEED”
“Lmaooooooo”
“K den”
“Lol”
“Boi”
“Dat”
I mean i dont mind people using them (except for the first three) but my friend doesnt stop using these and its sooo fuckong annoying
I love this thread.
I would like to speak for my room mate here, she hates the word "Pwned". She seriously gets upset upon hearing it, even out of context.
I hate the word "lit". If used literally like "I lit the fuse, candle, furnace, light bulb... alright but informally it sucks.
I forgot to add that one to my list: it makes me so angry, because it's usually said to someone who's upset about something and I reckon sounds patronising and dismissive.
I've taken to commenting something along the lines of "And it isn't what it isn't either" which almost invariably shuts up the facile comments: I had to laugh when someone who loves to say "it is what it is" informed me that my comment made no sense!
listen to a baseball or football player give an interview post game and count how many times they say 'you know'
its fuckin ridiculous the yaknow count on somea these people
youd think theyd give em public speakin lessons
"puddin'" When my niece was a baby, we went on a trip, and my sister kept calling my niece 'puddin',and it got on my nerves so much.
One time some testosterony man was walking his pit bull, it was an actual American pit bull terrier and not some variation that loosely gets called such.
She said, "OoOhHh!" like when you see something cute. The guy seemed kind of offended that someone made a "Cute" gesture at it.
On that note, had the dog been one of those ghastly Neapolitan Mastiffs, NO ONE would think it is cute.
I hate the way lots of young people today don't seem to understand the definition of the word "literally".
I completely disagree. I *love* the fact that one of the definitions of "literally" is "not literally". It's beautiful and absurd and glorious. It's a celebration of the English language. It's literally the best thing ever.

I don't mind yo or totally that much, but Brah is quite annoying especially when it comes from the kind of person you think of when you hear the word "brah" and meant in a serious non joking way.
"Yas" has been added to the oxford dictionary so it is officially recognized as a word and has been since 2017.
When someone say’s “bruh” I automatically want to shove them off a cliff bruh back to them bushes bitch.
