Single words that make you cringe helplessly

[keaton]

Why?

He's German

 

[Easy 10]

I'm with you on that one. Also hate it when couples call each other 'baby'

Or 'babes'

AWIIIGHT BABES ?




bleeeurgh.

 

[Jamie_Seagull]

"whore" - just a grubby word

 

[Peteinblack]

Most Americanised teen-speak, but especially 'like' and ohmygod', as used 10 times in each sentence by teenage girls.

'Ohmygod, I was, like, walking down the road, and, like, ohmygod, I, like, realised I'd, like, left my brain at home. Ohmygod. I was, like, whatever!'

 

[The Large One]

Or 'babes'

AWIIIGHT BABES ?




bleeeurgh.

This. Trebled.

 

[Don Quixote]

Islam.

English people who say "ciao" = Wankers.

 

[Mellotron]

Any bloke calling his girlfriend "babe" or "babes" is just horrific.

 

[daveinprague]

Say Ciao all the time here although they spell it Cau here...and its usage is very common..and its a whole heap easier than Na Schledenou

This language is a nightmare. Took me 2 years before I could say Thursday in Cesky....

 

[mccraque]

as per the above. I hate interjections of "Like" at every 4th word. Would sooner the space was filled with an F word.

Some Wakner that sits near me at work always says "ALRIGHTEEE" - I want to punch him.

Pacific instead of Specific

And another person at work says "Them ones".

I really just want to headbutt him when he does.

No problem if it's the local language I meant more when English people say it to each other. Normally heard in poncy wine bar type establishments.

 

[daveinprague]

I still feel stupid saying it though pasty

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Bubbly, as in "she's so bubby", which means she's a fuckwit who likes a drink.

and fat.

You will never find anyone described as "bubbly" unless they are fat and female. They're the key attributes.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Or 'babes'

AWIIIGHT BABES ?




bleeeurgh.

That was going to be my choice. Chavtastic

 

[Marc1901]

Crust.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

"awesome" and "outstanding" when they are normally talking about something slightly better than the norm.

 

[daveinprague]

Its not Awesome... Its like Totally Awesome, you know!

 

[Acker79]

Any bloke calling his girlfriend "babe" or "babes" is just horrific.

I helped my brother move house, and after every item was moved, after every trip to the removal van he would return to his wife and say "alright babe?" Every single time. It was so sickening.



Personally I find the word "crap" cringeworthy, but only when referring to poo.

 

[Frutos]

As others have said, the overuse of the word "like" really does irritate me.

I also dislike the incorrect use of the word "literally" when retelling a story, as in "I, like, LITERALLY laughed my head off".

No you didn't.
