Words that really annoy you.

Moist.

Leva, instead of lever. Another Americanism creeping in.

"Reduction" is the process used in catering [cooking] to allow moisture to evaporate to create, for example, a sauce or a syrup.

Sure...my 14 Yr old daughters reply to questions instead of yes or OK. Just makes her sound arsey
"Do you want a drink?"
"Sure"
aaarrrggghhhh

Could be worse. My father in law's stock reply to do you want a cup of tea is "If you want". Roughly translated this means if you're making one I'll have one, if you're expecting me to make it I'll not bother.

 

[RedAsABeetroot]

That annoys you?

Yes. Can't beat dry tinder and a bit of friction if you're trying to light a fire.

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Noos instead of news, a lot of YouTubers are saying words like Americans. Absolutely hate it

 

[Bororeddaz]

Just use the word reduce - it automatically implies, in cooking terms, the process of thickening a a liquid mixture, no need to say "down" as well.

Simmer down old boy

[Jonny Ingbar]

Using 'pacific' instead of 'specific'.

 

[Borothruandthru]

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.'

bull**** bingo it was called.
You each go into the meeting holding cards with power words/phrases like ;
Initiative
Up to speed
Cost effective
Buzzword
Targets
The first to cross off say 3 of their words stands up and shouts bull**** bingo.
The prize can be being put on another re training scheme.

Whether used as a substitute for breasts or worse to describe a great song - particularly if said by Mary Anne Hobbs- which is far too often.
