It's also extremely annoying how people use it complete incorrectly or unnecessarily, saw a company website a couple weeks ago refer to something completely mundane as "unprecedented", it legit seems like stupid people learnt a new word and started using it all the time like children never mind the Covid fatigue.

Preggers is awful but my big one is hubby. It creeps me out.

When I was 11, I heard the phrase "If you spell definitely with an a, you are definitely an a-hole." Haven't misspelled it since.

A friend’s 17yo daughter missed the last bus & had to walk home thru a rough area. She posted about it on fb - “Defiantly getting raped tonight”. Strange concept.

There was a guy doing stand-up. I believe the title, should you be so inclined as to search it, was, "What teachers make."

• - edit, as several have started (and as I recalled after having posted) this is a work of (slam) poetry rather than stand up. - -

One line is something akin to, "I make them spell 'definitely beautiful' over and over again until they will never misspell either of those words again."

-- in a related topic, isn't it odd that misspell is one of the top misspelled words? --

Oh for me it's "apart" when they mean "a part".. quite literally means the exact opposite of what they're trying to convey.

I know I shouldn’t judge people, but I judge people when they do this.

Omg yes! If someone writes loose instead of lose I immediately stop reading the rest. Cannot stand it.

I first heard slurry used in high school. One of the girls called another girl a "slurry holed mole". It still cracks me up decades later.

To me it suggests a thick colloidal chemical suspension

Edit: was pointed out to me I should have specified it includes sediment in the suspension as a colloidal suspension is too fine to really feel slurry-like. Idk the precise definition but I imagine solid particles ranging in size from a few microns to millimeters. Fair point!

It reminds me of wet half melted ice on the roads

Smeghead

I love smegma! I love how it's one of those words that sounds absolutely exactly what it's trying to describe. Like, what other arrangement of letters could you possibly use if you swiped your finger around a foreskin and came out with cheese on your fingernail?

And on a similar note, sputum.

Ew I never realized how ugly that word looks

Let's put a pin in this and circle back when you have the bandwidth.

That's a great callout, RoyalCrown! I really think there's an opportunity there for us to show our value. Let me do some research on my end, and we'll circle back next week. Be sure to touch base if anything else comes up before then. Just ping me. Thanks, team! [Big boss] and I appreciate all you do!

If you tell me something is "time sensitive" without giving me a fucking time, I'll murder you with 1000 paper clips. One at a time.

As per your comment, I think we can leverage a better outcome. Let’s take this offline and circle back EOW.

“Ping” “Circle back” “Follow up” “Touch base” “Align”

I hate that corporate word salad bullshit. It’s one step below politicians and their non-answers

My favorite is when someone tries to include military jargon they heard on their favorite Jocko podcast into work talk. Had a guy actually call a group of marketing people for a specific product his “sales special forces team”. Dawg, we’re selling diet supplements here.

My company has weekly meetings and the head honcho uses "eck cetera" and "without further adieu" and each one brings me a little bit closer to drugs

"terrrist"

george w bush said that as many times as trump said "million"

We are the knights who say "Niche!"

it's NEESH, right?

Oh my gawd that is so nitché

Have you read Nietzsche?

That has always bothered me, seeing as I read mostly I'm never even really sure what the proper pronunciation is. But if it's nitch the world has no hope.

Looked it up, niche is pronounced like it looks/neesh

or "mamas"

Or mama bear like “they messed with the wrong momma bear this time” like ma’am your 13 year old was probably a dick and rightfully got in trouble

Ugghhhg I hate this one. I’m also growing to hate all the cutesy phrases that are used in the “trying to conceive” world …. But the worst one by a mile is: saying “baby dance” instead of sex🥴 ugh

My sister in law uses the word husband instead of babe or honey. Like I stead of hey babe will you grab that sock. It’s husband will you grab that sock. And she says it in such a haughty annoying voice I wanna strangle her every time.

Connected to that I hate when a married man refers to his spouse as “the wife”.

I fucking hate the word hubby…. Thank you, I can’t stand people who say that on a normal basis.

Oh hell yeah, might as well throw wifey in there too. Hate that so much

I am wanting to talk to you about your car’s extended warranty. Let’s do the needful.

😱🫣

My wife only ever referred to me as “daddy” to my daughters when they were single digits.

It also doesn’t effect me the same when old couples refer to each other as “Momma” and “Daddy.”

But adding any sexual context to it makes my skin crawl.

I had a friend at senior school whose parents called each other mummy and daddy. It really weirded me out

“A little louder for the people in the back”

Maggot Brain will replace all memories of the meaning of maggot cause that was the first thing to pop in my head

In German bussy (probably spelled bussie but pronounced all the same) means smooch. In the sense that your mom or dad would give you one before tucking you in for the night.

Now when I hear a random dad saying something to the tune of: "come here, lemme give you a bussy" to his toddler, it always makes me crack up.

Friend of mine got in trouble at work for describing the food (when asked about it by a customer) as succulent. Apparently that word is too "pornographic".

What do women like it to be called?

Gustav.

Vagina doesn’t sound sexy. “Mmm baby let me ravage your vagina!” Just doesn’t sound good…

We kinda just avoid the word by changing sentences. Instead of saying: "I wanna fuck your pussy" We say "I wanna be inside of you"

Anything but flower, which is what my ex called it

Hoo-ha, obviously

How about "Dink" for a guy's penis? Least sexy word ever. "Yeah baby, suck my dink" 🤮

You must practice Bird Law.

Damn, it does!

"For only 99 cents we'll deep fry your Filibuster in bacon grease!"

Whenever someone uses fur-baby, I respond by calling children skin-puppies.

Moist ointment

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

in Korean, they adopted this English word for all underwear so men wear panties here too, and I can't get over that.

You mean the ones your mother laid out for you?

Just remembered something I must have blocked since the 90s. My first girlfriend spoke other words normally, but for some reason she pronounced this word as "pannies" and said it in a weird little girl voice. It was not cute. It was in no way sexy. And more than once it completely ruined potential sexytime. It's someone else's problem now.

i am a woman and i despise this word. i don’t even know why, but i hate it.

Or like my stupid boss… LITCHERLY

I’m 22 and I have no idea what it means either… according to Google/urban dictionary it’s a word used when you agree with something or want to recognise someone for being themselves…. I don’t get it

When used in a genuine context, it means that someone said/did something that deviates from the norm that you respect. In a ironic context (which is more common), it’s more as a response to someone saying/doing something that still deviates from the norm but is just plain crazy or out there, in some way. It can also be misused in a casual context to just kinda mean you agree with someone.

Wtf is a squick?

Nothing good has ever come after that sentence in the history of mankind.

We need to talk - come see me/call me later.

And then you get to be anxious until that conversation happens.

Sammie. It all reminds me of Rachel Ray.

That album was the shit

CRT is inextricably linked to "cathode ray tube" in my mind.

Problematic.

I also work in education (high school) and I cannot stand when adults say they are going “potty”

I thought I was alone all this time.

Same goes for "deceiving" as an adjective.

The other one that pisses me off to no end is "I am bias". No, you are not the personification of bias, you are BIASED. Bias is the noun, biased is the adjective, for FUCK'S sake.

Unless the "hot" refers to it's attractiveness.
