Words that really annoy you.

[UTB70]

Racist

 

[London_Boro]

Really gets on my nerves when people start a sentence with "I'm not being funny, but..."

When they are clearly going to say something that is bound to be insulting, or to completely disagree with a point someone else has made etc. When used, they cleared ARE being 'funny'

snowflake

or rather the people who use the word to excuse their own 5hitty words or actions or to belittle or devalue others.

"At Pace" - words used by government officials to describe how they will try (and slowly fail) to recover their latest total Fd up situation.

 

[Maple Steryup]

Certain office talk annoys me. Such as when you hear something being described as 'high level' or when someone asks who is giving the 'steer' on a new process/system change.

The use of the word fart in a phrase makes me cringe too. 'That's a right fart on' or 'they want to know the far end of a fart.'

Anything ending in ized rather than ised.

[Frozen Horse]

"Turgid" to describe football.

It means either "full of fluid" or "pompous"

It just makes the user sound ignorant.
