Irregardless.

The word means that you're not not regarding something. A double negative, so it means you are regarding it. It pisses me off to no end.

I just read an article on CNN that surprised me a little.
Nearly half of Americans surveyed said they find "whatever" to be the most annoying word or phrase, according to a poll by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.
While clicking on the thread this was the very first thing that sprang to mind.

Preggers, frumpy, kk, phat..

There are also plenty of short phrases or word combinations.

"Research shows.." and "Scientifically proven", in the context of anything that's trying to sell something or is targeted at the consumer sheeple (I can see someone quoting this saying they hate the word "sheeple") or children.

Authority figures saying to "do the right thing" by following their arbitrary and pointless rules.

"Doll/dolling/dolled myself up", it just sounds stupid.

I have a vendetta against the word 'lol'. Not only is it the awful misconstruction of an acronym but it's also destroyed a perfectly reasonable English word: loll. To loll is to recline, lie about, slouch. Yes you can loll on the floor, or on a bed but there's generally not much rolling going on. Or laughing for that matter. A chortle is permitted.

Might come from the fact that I quite enjoy a good loll from time to time. I get a lot done during it. Writing, drawing, getting annoyed with people then going "oh stuff it, I'm too comfortable." The internet took all that away.

Damn you!

I get angry when people say "Should of" when they really mean "Should have". I try to not care about it, but I can't help it, it makes me want to punch a hole in my monitor.

"Whom". I can never figure out when to use it properly.
Who is the subject of a verb.
("Who ate this bagel?")

Whom is the object of a verb.
("To whom does this half-chewed bagel belong?")

'Who' replaces a he/she pronoun and 'whom' replaces a him/her pronoun.

This sounds reasonable on paper but I can never remember it in actual conversation. I still can't use 'he/him and I/me' correctly unless I stop to diagram the freaking sentence.

'Literally'
'Basically'
'Diaspora'
'Chillax'
'Random' (when used to mean unexpected)
'Awesome' is getting annoying because it's become the lazy default for someone who can't express how they really feel about something.

The word or acronym to be more precise, OMG can't stand it when people write that in a sentence and that includes internet text, which I still find pretty annoying.

Its even worse when it's said in real life and my sister says it all the time.

For example I was watching TV and I noticed that my sister was on the phone to one of her friends and every single reply to her friends qoutes or whatever it was she was saying, was "oh my god" (omg)

Honestly, one of the things that annoys me the most is when people pronounce the word "idea" as "idear". Where the hell is the "r" in "idea"? This goes beyond simple accent. I've heard plenty of people with no discernible regional dialect mispronounce this word, and it needs to stop. Nation, we're only just recovering from the whole "nuc-u-lear" versus "nuclear" debacle. We cannot afford to mispronounce something as simple as "idea."

In the U.S. at least, I think that's a Massachusetts thing. I hear a lot of Bostonians sticking superfluous r's at the end of 'idea'.

I also noticed Yahtzee does it too, so maybe it goes beyond that.

I have to go with L-O-L spelt out!
Now, just saying "lol!" I'm fine with, but "L-O-L" is just appalling.
Spelled out, spelt isn;t a word.
I don't think its correct for anyone to say lol, they're lying.
Spelt is a word, but it doesn't mean spelled.

thw word Yes. Hate it
Yes sir, finally someone pointed out how annoying yes is.
...haha what? Why is "yes" annoying? (I'd also like to point out the irony that you said "yes" in your response)

Yes is a great word because it usually ends in me getting what I want.

"Can I have that food?" "Yes" "Awesome"
"Can I buy that game?" "Yes" "Awesome"
"Can I get an A on this test?" "Yes" "Awesome"
"Can we have sex?" "Yes" "Double awesome"
