It's not the words that annoy me, it's the context and intent that see me become irate fairly quickly. Generally I dislike reactionary, intolerant or dismissive use ... even when it's me doing it.
A brilliant example from another thread I've just read (trying to catch up on several pages of "New posts" from an extended forum absence) is the use of the word "townies". What a patronising, dismissive, intolerant word that has become in the past few years.
Anyway, I haven't the time. Absolutely.

Well, if you know what I mean, it has to be said, basically, at the end of the day, if you know what I mean, basically, it's a game of two halfs, what can I say, if you know what I mean, basically, at the end of the day. and so on ad-infinitum.
FOOTBALLERS TALK AHHHHHHHH
PS what do you call a footballer with one achillies tendon..............David Backhome ;D
-
Not the words people use but the intent behind them!! I don't like people saying sorry after insulting you for example. Oh, I remember hateing being refered to as "the misses"""" arhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
'Obviously'....particularly when used by someone being interviewed, or asked about something, so that the viewers/listeners can learn. FFS! if it was obvious we wouldn't be bloody well asking, would we? ::)

Oh I LIKE that one! But seriously, poor David! It must hurt dreadfully.
I always hated being called 'dear', and got it all the time in Aberdeenshire. Down here I get 'pal', 'hen', 'hun', 'hunny' and I just LOVE it! My Devonshire lad always used to call me 'my bird' and I loved that too.

Here's one; it doesn't annoy me but it sure as hell annoys the kids;NO!They say it's my favourite word.

When a jakey tramp street urchin asks "have you got any spare change?"
Now, i don't want to belittle the plight of people taken to living rough in the streets, must be hellish when that is how you exist.
but, I always walk away thinking (lilght heartidly, not in a mean spirited way)
1. how do i know if that change is spare or not? I might need it in a few minutes for something else - until i've stopped living, i'll not know just if that change was spare or not!!
2. My immediate (internal) response to the question is always, yes i have, thank you very much. It's as if they are conducting a survey on people having change or not - instead of saying "could you give me some spare change" which is clearly a request for something and not a survey.
on a slightly related note, and this wasn't my proudest moment either, a Big Issue seller outside Queen Street Station in Glasgow accosted me and was trying to sell me his last issue of the Big Issue (i actually suspected he had found the magasine and was just trying to sell it for his own nefarious means)
He got quite pushy insisting it was "his last one"
but it was a gorgeous day so I asked him "what's your rush to sell it, it's not like you are rushing home is it?"
-
What an excellent idea for a discussion. I can't think of too many words I find really annoying although I do find myself describing things as fantastic and then wishing they really were (Based on or existing only in fantasy). In fact most superlatives have become redundant through over use.
There are a few words I love though - Higgledy piggledy, Mellifluous, Boobs
-
Another response to hearing he words "Big issue mate?" could be "not to me it isn't" ::)
-

Reply to Sellic A long time ago.when we were just married we shopped mainly in Market Rasen. The bakers was and still is J Starbuck & Son Now John (Known as Sunshine) used to drive a Morris Commical Van for his father and the bakery is down a narrow passage and the vans are reversed in.Right this particular Saturday Parked as near to the entrance as he could get was Harry Keys Austin Princess Van dn Plaz with it Rolls engine all gleaming in the street.Now understand being a tractor field service fitter I knew which car belonged to which farmer.So into the shop I goes and asked Harry is that your Princess out front "YARSE it is thank you very much" Now you can imagine how thin skinned I was at that time so I replied.If it were mine I'd go and shift the heap of s**t before Sunshine flattens it.What a stupid place to park it .You are not at Stainton le Vale now you know.But he never heard the last bit of what I said because he streaked for the door much to the amusment of the shop staff.Silly pompous fool.Saw Sunshine at the camera club the following Monday night."What the L did you say to Mr Key's he wasn't very happy with you,"Oh dear I'm deeply worried about that I replied.Would you believe I was sent to look at his Hay liner because I was the only chap on the firm that knew about New Holland Knotters and the first thing would you believe was Harry's Princess parked in the gateway.So I honked the horn and I sat in the truck and waited for him to come and let me in the field.Why are you sitting here why didn't you come and fetch me.Well I did sound my horn but you took no notice and it looks as you park here like you do in Union Street."I will ring Sandham when I get in about your insolence.So I spent all the rest of the afternoon dismantling the Knotter assy and rebuilding them.If he had been a sociable chap I would have clouted the bill hook with a hammer and said try her Loll and Loll would have done two or three bales and I would have come away 10 minutes at best instead of 31/2 hours.Has Harry Key's rang you Paul. No why .Oh he will said I and don't bother repremanding me because if I get any more crap from him I shall refuse to look at his baler.Next time I called he came across to us all jovial and light and gave me a quid for giving up my evening to come and fix his baler It didn't improve my opinion of him though so the word is Kipper :D ;D :farmer:
