Words you hate

[heyheysg]

With the invention of the internet, new words are created every day

How does a word become a word anyway? Popular use? A journalist claiming it's a word?

Anyway, I really don't like some words, a couple that come to mind are

Surf Rock - What the hell is that supposed to mean.

Emo - supposedly short for Emotional Rock... Which kinda implies that all other music is not emotional.

Bargh..

New words were created every day before the Internet. Shakespeare invented a ton of words that are very common now, like doorknob.

 

[Icehearted]

I'm pretty sure I made a thread just like this. As I recall, my choices were leet speak words like epic and woot.

Anyhoo, just a heads up.

I hate "random" when it is used as a synonym for "non-sequitur." There is nothing random about non-sequiturs, especially when there is a better-than-random chance of it involving the words "cheese" or "monkey."

Furthermore, words and phrases that have come from 4chan, including "epic fail," "lulz," and "facepalm."

 

[quiet_samurai]

I just hate it when people use intenet speak IRL.

Like actualy saying LOL or WTF.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Fail. I don't mind it if typed, but if anyone responds to a real life situation with "Fail" I actually have to put restraint into not smashing their fucking face.

 

[Timotei]

"Nameen?" Wigger speak for "Do you understand what I am saying?"

 

[A Weary Exile]

When people begin or end sentences with 'Yeah....' or 'So yeah....' that is extremley annoying.

Other annoying things

-Fail
-Epic Fail
-Pwn (When used unironically)
-Rap slang, especially when people say 'Bruhh' if you live in Florida you know what I'm talking about...hopefully.

 

[Crabturtleking]

I hate the word drat. I just bugs me for some reason

 

[Scribza]

I hate it when i hear 'Game will not be distributed in Australia due to Censorship rules' F#ckers.... lol, another one i hate but love...

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Fake made up words like "guesstimate" (holy crap, Firefox's spell check DID NOT catch that one) "blamestorming" and "irregardless" (once again, NO RESPONSE from Firefox's spell check)

 

[carpathic]

"bling"

Single handedly contributing to furthering the stupidity of our culture. I'm not brilliant, but there are way more important things in this world than all things bejeweled and shiny.

 

[Frankydee]

any word that's even remotely "gangstah."

 

[Kasawd]

I dislike the term "Hoser".

 

[OpiateChicken]

I hate "random" when it is used as a synonym for "non-sequitur." There is nothing random about non-sequiturs, especially when there is a better-than-random chance of it involving the words "cheese" or "monkey."

Good sir! I am in utter agreeance. Except for lulz, I don't mind that. I do it for them.

Fail.

Agree.

I once visited a catholic university-college that my girlfriend's mom works at, and on one of the prof's doors was a large lolcat picture with FAIL on it. I shit bricks and divided by zero at the same time as I wanted to go on a killing rampage. (Sorry to use the 4chan terminology.)

Also, once working with me was this ***** who had verbal ADD, or at least she liked to talk a lot about very annoying things, and a loud "fail" was typically heard every 10 minutes or so from her. That was the most annoying, because I know she didn't even get it off the internet herself, because there are no girls on the internet.

I would like to add to the hated list:

-Awkward
Far too many (pre)teen girls use this to describe pretty much any situation that isn't "soo awesomee". One of the things I hate the most about these "awkward" moments is that many are self-imposed; some people seem to like to create awkward moments precisely BY saying that they are awkward. Which then they put on their facebook statuses and try to put onto FML.com, which probably never happens, seeing as those are all seemingly written by the same 44-year old man somewhere in a dark cave. Which brings me to my next:

-FML
Ever since the website was created, increased usage is constant with rising blood temperatures.

-Amaaaazing & "I was soooo drunk last night, lol"
Mundane things aren't that amazing, and you weren't THAT drunk last night

-Ontological
I guess I'm biased but there were too many pseudo-intellectual shitfests using this word in my philosophy class last year.


Alright, done my rant. Sorry if I've put a damper on your day.

 

[tipp6353]

Well it isn't a word but its the name Bob I hate Bob

 

[socialtangent]

I find it annoying how people use the phrase "FML" regularly now ever since the site of the same name became popular.

Another thing that annoys me is when girls on Myspace or Facebook type extra letters to emphasize a word, or just for the hell of it (example: bounceee, heyyy, meeee).

One more thing that annoys me are when people make spelling errors or grammatical errors that are screamingly obvious, such as "your" in place of "you're". When people misspell obvious words, that pisses me off too.

 

[heyheysg]

The word gratutious itself is gratutious

 

[Bilbo536]

The word arbitrary/arbitrarily. Only when used by people who are obviously just trying to sound intelligent. Other than that it's fine.
Perhaps it's not the word itself, but it's context and who it's being said by?
