Words that annoy you...

[Blackadder]

Tinpot.

 

[Woodchip]

I'll be honest, I'm not sure I know what that means !!

It's a Bullshit Bingo Buzzword used in Software Testing, when your manager buys into some pompous yanks methodologies.

 

[Brownstuff]

Bed wetter
Bed wetters
Bed wetting.

However it's used it's highly irritating, a totally wanky phrase of the highest order.

Too right.
I don't get why anyone use these words in their vocabulary, strange people.

 

[Brownstuff]

To be honest with you.
I'm bored.
Awesome.
Tinpot.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

People who start a sentance with I am not being funny but.

 

[timbha]

And she turned round and said.........

 

[MissGull]

People who start a sentence with 'To be fair...'.

 

[Murray 17]

"can I get...?"

Exactly. What was wrong with, "Please can I have..?"

 

[L2MidgetGem B.H.A Seagull]

Coolbeans -_-

 

[Murray 17]

Physicality

Yes. I always thought this word referred to a location, but it now relates to how physical you are, apparently.

 

[glasfryn]

chrimbo
xmas
safty
all abominations of the English language

 

[Murray 17]

Pre-planned.

'Planned' means to prepare for something beforehand, so why do you need the 'pre'?

 

[narly101]

Cool Bananas.
People who try and use "yourself" or "yourselves", instead of the simpler "you". It doesn't make you sound intelligent, it makes you sound a ****.
People who use "them" instead of "those" - really ****ing get's my goat.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Exactly. What was wrong with, "Please can I have..?"

Doesn't make them sound American enough.

Members of AFWAB (the American Football Writers' Association of Britain, of course) are instantly fined for the use of any Americanism at Super Bowls. Standards must be maintained.

 

[C1 BHA]

'Can I get a ....' 'no, I have to get it for you, I work here, it's my job'

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

"Solutions" & "Logistics" when used in company names.

 

[Rod Marsh]

This. That's a word that annoys me.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

To be honest with you.

Utterly pointless phrase that deserves the following response: "Thanks for being honest with me, so everything else you say is normally a lie then?"

 

[Fran Hagarty]

Ugh yeah, and people calling their electricity the "leccy" and "baccy" for tobacco.... yuk yuk yuk.

I agree. I dislike abbreviations such as "spag bol" "barbie" It also annoys me when people say headered instead of headed.

'Can I get a ....' 'no, I have to get it for you, I work here, it's my job'
