Well there are several sets of words that annoy me.I think with out weighing them up "I haven't the time you know" I know its what you do with the time.For you have just the same time as me 60 minutes an hour 24 hours a day 7 days a week .Get organized.Another one to set you off "There's no such word as can't"

[pedigree porker]

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

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

[Hardfeather]

'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.

[Wizard]

[gavo]

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?"
