Words that bug you

[(Anonymous)]

The last few days have shown me that I have an irrational hatred of "shall." With few exceptions, unless it's preceded by "you" and followed by "not pass," it just sounds pretentious (and wrong, though it's probably not).

Things that rhyme with -ump. I just really hate how -ump sounds. Blech.

Waits for everyone to reply with words that rhyme with -ump

squirrel, entrepreneur
I can't spell the former without help, I can't say the latter.

"homosexual" -- I hear it so often in anti-gay rhetoric and I immediately identify it as a dehumanizing tactic, so I tend to have an automatic cringe whenever anyone uses it, regardless of intent.

Drives me fucking bugshit. Especially if "straight" is used for the opposite concept as opposed to "heterosexual." (Which is another word that's gradually slipping into "please stop saying that" territory.)

DECIMATE

[silverr]

... because every time I hear it I think of the original meaning -- to kill 10% of the captives -- and it just sounds wrong.

It's most often used to mean, "and then 90% to 100% of [subject] was destroyed." Annihilate and obliterate are perfectly serviceable words, USE THEM.

"Purchased." Just say "bought." There is absolutely no difference in meaning or connotation except for how pretentious it sounds.

"Impact" for "affect," "impactful" for "meaningful or effective."

I've pretty much stopped using "girl" and "boy" as a word when I'm trying to describe adult men and women, because to me it is so closely associated with youth, it's almost demeaning when you use it to refer to someone who's a rational adult

Re: Words that bug you

I have been bringing Shall into this house of late. I do apologise, but I like the word, so I need a better reason to stop using it.

I hate saying the words "texts," "desks," and "crisps" aloud. There are too many s-/t- sounds and I feel like I'm a wannabe/poser Parseltongue.

Re: Words that bug you

[making_excuses]

If I never read feels used the way the cool kids are using it nowadays, I will live a long and happy life...

"Disenfranchise."

The franchise is the right to vote. To "disfranchise" someone is to strip him/her of his/her right to vote. "Disenfranchise" is an incorrect construction. And, even worse, it's used to describe things that have nothing to do with voting.

I get that the meanings and implications have changed, but it still drives me bonkers.

Re: Words that bug you

[(Anonymous)]

I love self-portraits and I think the hate people get for taking / posting a ton of pictures of themselves is way overblown. But I have a supernova-sized irrational hate for the word "selfie. I'm not even sure why.

Re: Words that bug you

[intrigueing]

I don't know if this counts, but I ballistic every time someone spells "discreet" as "discrete." To the point of hating the word "discrete."

Re: Words that bug you

[scrubber]

"Cropped" sounds super stupid. Especially "close-cropped" and "riding crop".

And because of tumblr I'm starting to have a reaction to every time I see "play" tacked onto something to magically make it a kink. The other day I saw "presentation play" and I could not get it out of my head for a weekend.

Re: Words that bug you

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like "conversate."

That's just one syllable too many for me.

nevermind it's not even a damn word to begin with

Re: Words that bug you

[dreemyweird]

SMOOCH. JUST NOPE. NOPEY NOPE MCNOPEYSON.

Also, the verb "to wee" (????? the hell is this, kindergarten?).

And ALL the idioms that use defecation/urination imagery because I end up literally imagining it all and it makes my life weird.

"Boyfriend" or "girlfriend" when referring to an adult partner. We need more words for unmarried adults who are seeing each other but aren't engaged.

Re: Words that bug you

[riddian]

People need to fucking stop saying the word "literally" when they do not actually mean "literally." It has a specific meaning and 95% of the time people don't even know what that meaning is. I can't wait until it goes out of style again, which luckily seems to be happening already but can't happen fast enough.

Re: Words that bug you

Iranian. I wish I knew why that particular word bothers me so much, but it does (especially since the country's language has at least three different terms used to denote it, which gets confusing at times).

Re: Words that bug you

[(Anonymous)]

Playdate. ugh. Reminds me of asshole yuppie parents with rotten spoiled kids.
Lifestyle. almost everyone using this word is either a homophobe or trying to sell you something you don't want or need.

Re: Words that bug you

[(Anonymous)]

Implement vs use. That one got stuck in my head from a professor's advice for writing papers.

Also, egregious (because I spend too much time on TV Tropes and it is majorly overused).
