PeacefulChaos Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I heard one last year that grated on my nerves: Ridonculous I have heard it several times since. I HATE it. "Bump" - when referring to someone's pregnant belly. I also hate preggers. :glare: All of the above. I have to think for a bit to see if I can come up with any on my own. (I do use at least 2 that have been named previously :D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Does anyone else hear the phrase "Cool beans"? Is it only said by the youth I'm around? I can't stand it! It just doesn't even make sense (but with teens, I guess it isn't supposed to make sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful Isle Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) I hate it when I watch cooking shows etc.. and they always say that they are "taking their food to the next level". How many levels does food have?? :confused: I just think that is totally overused. And yes, I have heard of cool beans. :) Never knew beans were cool either !

It just doesn't even make sense (but with teens, I guess it isn't supposed to make sense). Cool beans is old. I've been saying it for 20 years or better. :D The ones I hate are the ones everyone has listed for the most part. Sweet, preggers, bestie and tween don't bother me. I hate gifted. I cringe every time I see/hear it used instead of gave. Another is convicted. As in, "I was convicted to..." (or of...) Whatever happened to convinced? What is wrong with convinced? Convinced is a perfectly good word. Maybe it is my law enforcement background. My first thought is always, "Convicted of what crime?"

joannqn Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Ok, my biggest pet peeve is "kewl". Why? Because I got in trouble with my father as kid for using slang like rad and cool. I had to say, "That's so neat" or "I really like that." So now, what does my dad use now? Kewl...in speech and text. :glare: But I generally dislike it no matter who uses it.

Ellie Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Gifted. Not with regard to someone's capabilities. "He gifted me this.". Uh, he GAVE it to you? Also, invite as a noun. It's a verb people. :iagree:Ugh. Awful, terrible. Blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I remember hearing "disrespect/ed" used as a verb was in the movie "Frequency." I don't know if people used it before then and I just blanked it out, or what, but it is surely wrong. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
