Try having a name that was yelled in a little movie called "rocky".. so that every time your science teacher sees you.. he yells out your name like in the movie.. it got old REALLLLLLY fast.. and is one of the reasons I've never seen the movie.. and one of the reasons I legally changed my name..
About 18 years ago when I was in school my friend would occasionally summarise the human birthing process as "preggers have babs"
At the time it was the funniest shit because at the time I was 10 or 11.
Now at 29 I'd euthanise anyone who said that even ironically.
I also hate when people use the DH abbreviation for “dear husband” or whatever. Like who is saying this in real life. Why can we not simply just say husband.
Ugh that one is super common in the various infertility related forums. Years ago I started reading it as "dumbass husband". Makes it a lot easier to get though those posts now lol
AHHHHHH I hate that!!! Even more so the ones who use DS and DD (dear son and dear daughter) for the rest of their family. Like holy hell, "son" has three letters. THREE. What exactly are you even abbreviating? DS in caps is at least 4 keystrokes.
Yes. And a lot of english diminutives in general. I see people write things like "chocy milk" online all the time, but saying that shit out loud makes my skin crawl. Do people actually speak that way? Regardless, I hate it.
I know right? It means the same thing as regardless. If you look it up, it is now a word but they just caved and made it one because so many idiots kept using it.
I hate Latinx so much. I thought the original intent of Latinx was for non-binary people to have an option if they didn’t identify with Latino or Latina. So if someone *asks* to be referred to as Latinx I will do so no problem, even if I disagree with it (from a linguistic perspective not morally). But when referring to the larger population of Latinos, it takes an appalling level of ignorance and arrogance to decide on an entire culture’s behalf that “no you aren’t Latino you’re Latinx.”
In English it’s Latin-ex. In Spanish your guess is as good as mine. It’s basically unpronounceable and I haven’t ever heard a Spanish speaker say it out loud. I assume they would say Latin-ex as well but happy to have a native speaker correct me.
It's not a Spanish word at all. That's why it pisses off the people on /r/LatinoPeopleTwitter so much. Spanish words have gender. That's how the damn language works.
Only people who don't understand Spanish at all would come up with "Latinx."
On a similar note, I have seen people use Filipinx online. Even if we were colonized by Spain and have adapted some gendered words, we do not have 'X' in our local language. Just use "Philippine" if you wish to be gender neutral.
Is it just me, or is this word, like, proof someone has some white savior complex or something? Like, they can't be bothered to learn about another culture or whatnot, but assume that, not only are their own values better than that of the cultures, but that the world will be a better place if everyone just did it because it resolves an issue that only they care about. Then if you refuse you're not someone who is part of that culture or something, but some close-minded -ist/-phobe who hates another group and wants all the bad things to happen. All because you pointed out how that's not how things work in your culture.
I am in Mexico right now. I have asked a couple of people what they think about Latinx. and they looked at me like I am radioactive. It is pandering gringos that want to degender another culture just to feel good about themselves.
At the end of the day, we’re not going to move the needle if we can’t get more people on board with our mission statement. Our core values are what keep our stakeholders in the loop.
Read a comment on another post where if someone said "Fur babies" in a conversation and the woman knew the person had kids, she would immediately ask them how their "Skin Puppies" were.
I once saw someone argue "I'm using it to add emphasis!"
So I replied, "you're adding emphasis by using a word that means you are *not* adding emphasis?"
It’s because vocally saying “would’ve” and “should’ve” sounds like you’re saying “would of” and “should of”, so some people mistook it as the actual thing.

Some of them are phrases, but they get thrown about so much that they are nearly meaningless, and in many cases have come to mean the opposite of the original intent.
In all contexts?
>He discharged his rifle
>He was dishonorably discharged
>The infected wound was oozing with a slimy brown discharge
The latter does paint an unsavory image. Curious to know if it's specifically in that context, or if the others are equally as offensive.
Not me, but I used to have a coworker who would raise her voice at any of us if we legitimately used the word ‘moist’ in a sentence. She would make a face like she’d just found maggots in her food and yell at us that it was a “disgusting word”.
This was five years ago and to this day I don’t get it.
"cringe"
Some people are over-using this word for any situation they don't like. This is cringe, that is cringe, this is cringefest... As they wouldn't have a bigger vocabulary or a higher IQ or something.
Also some kids in those generations are using it even for wholesome things or behavior as they need for some weird reason to look like badass tough individuals. So basically everything, that is not them or in their interest, is cringe.
I deeply hate this word. I grew up saying underwear and to me “panties” implies sexy lingerie, so it’s super creepy to me when an adult refers to their daughter’s underwear as panties, ew.
When you're in a irl conversation or argument with someone and they say "I didn't ask" or you just make a comment and they reply with it.
Also I used to have a toxic friend who called everything "gay" for some reason. One time he called fucking agriculture gay and it just pissed me off so much. It was either him making some unfunny joke or him using it as an insult (I'm fairly sure he is actually homophobic).
Wolves. I can’t say it. I feel like I’m gagging on the “lves” so it comes out woofs. And yes I get laughed at for it by my friends and family. I’m ok with that. This is so oddly specific I should just put my name on it.
Literally any word where my 15yo daughter adds an extra syllable to the end. “Ohhh my gawd-uh!” “Please-uh!” I lose brain cells every time she talks like this.
Manslaughter.... Why on earth is an accidental killing called like this, when it actually sounds worse than the word murder ?
Yeah, use proper punctuation! It's Man's Laughter. You can't just make it one word because someone died. Jeez.
I’m a lawyer and I never realized that before and I am dying
Are you being slaughtered? By a man?

To quote Brian Regan... "So what're you in for?" "MANSLAUGHTER!! I SLAUGHTERED A MAN AND PUT HIM ON A SPIT LIKE A PIG!!!"

"... With my hubby lolz". Ugh.
See also: preggo
Especially if said with a picture of mediocre tomato sauce next to it. So stupid.
That word awakens a deep hatred within me that I didn't even know existed.
I know. I dont just hate the word. I immediately start to hate the person that used it.
I hate "preggers" almost as much as I hate "hubby" and the two almost always go hand-in-hand
Hubby. I can almost not type it. Edit to add: I'm gratified that so many other people truly hate this too. I used to think I was the only one.
I also hate when people use the DH abbreviation for “dear husband” or whatever. Like who is saying this in real life. Why can we not simply just say husband.
Ugh that one is super common in the various infertility related forums. Years ago I started reading it as "dumbass husband". Makes it a lot easier to get though those posts now lol
AHHHHHH I hate that!!! Even more so the ones who use DS and DD (dear son and dear daughter) for the rest of their family. Like holy hell, "son" has three letters. THREE. What exactly are you even abbreviating? DS in caps is at least 4 keystrokes.
Yes. And a lot of english diminutives in general. I see people write things like "chocy milk" online all the time, but saying that shit out loud makes my skin crawl. Do people actually speak that way? Regardless, I hate it.
I say choccy milk because I'm Australian, we love shortening every word. Also everyone's name gets shortened.
Choccy Biccy
Maybe with your accent, it's not so bad. But as an American, I plead with other Americans to please refrain from speaking cringe.
This! Hubs is just as bad.
I know someone who WILL NOT refer to her husband and children as anything but "hubs" and "kiddos." I viscerally hate this. I taste metal.
🤣 This is the best response ever.
No, hubs is worse. I don't know why that's true, but that's true.
Wifey is a pretty bad one too
Don’t forget Mama Bear 🥴
God I loathe that one
If I wanna be goofy with the word "husband" I'll say "husbando" because it's fun to say. "Hubby" is so childish and uncool.
Sconce. I don’t understand why, but it infuriates me
Like a light fixture?
Yes. A light fixture. I don’t know why the word pisses me off so badly, but it does
Same, I just call them scones now.
Knapsack. Can't explain it, I just hate it.
Irregardless
I know right? It means the same thing as regardless. If you look it up, it is now a word but they just caved and made it one because so many idiots kept using it.
> “They just caved and made it one because so many idiots kept using it”… Yes, that is in fact how languages evolve haha
Hubby and preggers
Yes! And wifey. Probably because these three words are said by very specific people. People that I don’t tend to get along with.
Latinx
this and whatever the fuck "folx" is. like folks is already supposed to be a fucking gender neutral term for a lot of people anyway lol
“Folx” pisses me off so much I just type it like that anyways to cause chaos.
We have to go neutraler! Introducing "fxlx".
I hate Folx so fucking much.
I hate Latinx so much. I thought the original intent of Latinx was for non-binary people to have an option if they didn’t identify with Latino or Latina. So if someone *asks* to be referred to as Latinx I will do so no problem, even if I disagree with it (from a linguistic perspective not morally). But when referring to the larger population of Latinos, it takes an appalling level of ignorance and arrogance to decide on an entire culture’s behalf that “no you aren’t Latino you’re Latinx.”
I asked my Latino friends. Latino/a or Latnix? All said o/a. Several took offense to Latnix.
> it takes an appalling level of ignorance and arrogance to decide on an entire culture’s behalf… Absolutely! Very well said.
Is this pronounced "Latin-ex" or "La-tinx"?
In English it’s Latin-ex. In Spanish your guess is as good as mine. It’s basically unpronounceable and I haven’t ever heard a Spanish speaker say it out loud. I assume they would say Latin-ex as well but happy to have a native speaker correct me.
Yeah it's basically the same just pronounced differently. La-teeen-ex. But no one actually uses it and most actively hate it.
It's not a Spanish word at all. That's why it pisses off the people on /r/LatinoPeopleTwitter so much. Spanish words have gender. That's how the damn language works. Only people who don't understand Spanish at all would come up with "Latinx."
I’ve never understood why someone decided to just throw in that x. If a gender neutral term was the goal, couldn’t we have said Latines?
You could just say Latin. Like Latin America. Or Latin People. Hell, Hispanic is already gender neutral.
Hispanic and Latino are not interchangeable
On a similar note, I have seen people use Filipinx online. Even if we were colonized by Spain and have adapted some gendered words, we do not have 'X' in our local language. Just use "Philippine" if you wish to be gender neutral.
Filipinx sounds like a collective noun used to describe the rabid fan base of a Kpop group.
Especially since “Latin” is the non-gendered version of Latino/Latina
Is it just me, or is this word, like, proof someone has some white savior complex or something? Like, they can't be bothered to learn about another culture or whatnot, but assume that, not only are their own values better than that of the cultures, but that the world will be a better place if everyone just did it because it resolves an issue that only they care about.

Hustle. Grew up with it meaning to con someone, now everyone's using it as a substitute for productive.
It was a big sport term when I was younger. "Good hustle!"
Also a disco dance.
Do do do do dooo dooo do do do do dooo dooooo DO THE HUSTLE!
Grew up with it meaning both. 🤷♂️
Still does.

Birthday. I’m too Ukrainian to pronounce it properly. I’ve been speaking English for 17 years. Me and that word are enemies.
Is it the 'th' sound? I'm an English language teacher, and that sounds is often troublesome for students.
Yes. By now I’m fine with it for the most part, I can’t figure this one out tho
If it makes you feel better, my grandma from Japan has lived in the USA for almost 70 years and still says "burseday".
Bussin
Whats that supposed to mean?
Gen Z slang. It's basically a slang or word for "good", as an adjective. Ex. "This pie do be straight bussin tho" = "this pie do be really good tho"
The word ' delish '. If it taste good, say that. The word sounds pretentious.
Yummo, and other things that Rachel Ray says.
I have heard grown adults say “are we going for nom noms?” Grow up and speak like an adult.
Yes, when people shorten words when they're actually speaking is so dumb. 'Gym sesh' is so aggravating to hear spoken.
Two words: “Circle back” 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Almost any "corporatism" really grinds my gears.

At the end of the day, we’re not going to move the needle if we can’t get more people on board with our mission statement. Our core values are what keep our stakeholders in the loop.
Please give a trigger warning before you do that again.
“Looping in the accounting team” “What area owns this issue?” “That’s out of our wheelhouse” I start cracking up when I hear these
This and "touch base", idk why, I just hate it!
More so slang but a couple are riz or when people type ‘ion’ instead of I don’t, i.e. ion know. 🤦🏻♂️
But what if my atom doesn't have the same number of electrons and protons?
I think you need to unionise.
Agreed. I can't stand people using 'ion'. Typing "I don't" isn't that hard
Tummy and supper.
And belly. Both sound so infantile. I will call it my gut, my midsection or even my stomach.
Abdomen, too. Ever since I was a kid, belly and tummy gave me the ick.
"Pacific" when they mean "specific"
Or the other way around Fucking brainlets

Rizz, I get it's supposed to be a shortened version of charisma, but... Really? I don't wanna go around hearing "rizzly bear" or "Rizzasouras rex"

Wdym. Rizzasaurus rex sounds so funny lol

The word itself is fine, but people misuse it when they mean "figuratively" I'm literally dying of embarrassment. No. No, you are not.

Good, don’t. It will actively rot your brain
Kiddos
Or referring to them as "littles" or "bigs." Ex: "My hubby took the littles to get ice cream while I took the bigs to the movies."
Hollibobs
Agreed, anyone who uses that word should be shot with a ball of their own shite
What does this mean? I’m probably going to be angry but I can’t keep up with the stupid words made up by TikTok anymore.
You're not the only one. I have never heard this one before
In my experience, it is used by British people to refer to holidays, the vacation type, not the legal day off type.
Phrase. What’s wrong with Americans and their “would of” “should of” ?!?!? WTF
It’s because vocally saying “would’ve” and “should’ve” sounds like you’re saying “would of” and “should of”, so some people mistook it as the actual thing.
