Single words that make you cringe helplessly

[Silent Bob]

Cringe.

 

[HG201]

Not a single word, but can't stand the phrase "epic fail"

 

[willingdon_seagull]

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!'

Yes!!! I totally agree! Nothing worse than teenage kids on a bus or train talking like this. Absolutle trash.

Another word I cant stand is "buddy" - i.e somebody who thinks they are really something coming out with "Hey buddy, how is it going?"

 

[willingdon_seagull]

Also, when people use the saying "bad times" - nonsense!

Hun



Drives me mental, hate it with a passion

ooo totally with you on that..and babe..grrrrr

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

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.

I have such a funny scene playing over in my head

Sick

Don't mind people using that word to describe vomiting but to use the word as describing something good really pisses me off!

 

[King Kong]

There are many NSC words that are cringeworthy!

Oh I can't stand that either.
It's not a word, but the phrase 'for sure' stuffed at the end of a sentence really annoys me!

 

[cyanide-sid]

When I was a kid phrases like 'Far out' and 'Too much' used to piss our parents off. What goes around comes around.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Two words but "would of" instead of "would have"

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

"simples"

This one too, hate it!

 

[astill86]

It's two words but 'My Bad' always annoys me!

 

[Lord Bamber]

Babs

 

[pasty]

It's two words but 'My Bad' always annoys me!

Too bloody right. I hate that. Just what the f*** is it supposed to mean. My bad what?

 

[brakespear]

'Chi' instead of Chichester.
'ickle'
'shugar'

 

[brightonlass2009]

On't

 

[astill86]

Too bloody right. I hate that. Just what the f*** is it supposed to mean. My bad what?

My mistake I assume but it's another example of a Yankie thing.
