Certain Words

[B_Cocktale]

Yes "my bad" is dreadfully annoying as is "what goes around comes around".

The former is just slangy poor grammar the latter often untrue.

I don't know many women who actually use the word "pussy" in reference to their vagina. I don't like it either. It's my understanding that its origins lie in less-than-complimentary reference to the sexual goings-on among the feline species.

I hate the word butch, there are more but I can't even think of them right now.

My quim is an open book :biggrin1: but it deserve its own thread - I'm talking general quim (Oo, scarey thought - General Quim of the 62nd Mounted Cuntalliers! )

Was General Quim not a key player in The Battle of the Bulge??

Is that 'butch' generally as a word - or just in certain contexts?

Oh no - wrong war, wrong continent - I think you'll find it was Little Big Horn, actually :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

I hate how people hate "my bad" Well not specificly "my bad" but anybody who does not speak the way they speak. Ive had southern people with crazy accents and wierd usage of words, tell me black people are stupid because of the way they talk, but north eastern people think southern country people are stupid because of the way they talk. Everybody grew up in a different place. Your not uneducated or stupid because of how you grew up speaking. Alot of phrases we use now dont even make sense, my bad does, I messed up, wich is a "bad" and it was I who did it, so its mine, hence my bad. But lets get "on the bus"? Why not get in the bus. Theres alot of stupid phrases we use that we dont even know are ridiculous and we say that things we are not used to are used by "uneducated people".

 

[Long&Thick]

Uh-oh, I actually use some of these... my bad.

Yeah I use "my bad" alot. Especially when sports are envolved. Slang is slang, we all use it in some form or another, unless you are prim and proper :smile:

Words are mere crutches. We should get back to nature, and communicate via grunts, growls, and odors.

That'd make posting here a bit more difficult though...

Remind me to bring a noseplug if we ever 'do lunch'.

Now there's an irritating expression; do lunch.

Ha, "do lunch" a phrase that would most likely be used by sombody who would belittle others for using slang, and think of themselves as superior, yet "do lunch" is pretty damn stupid. See pompous people, your phrases are just as dumb and retarded. Sorry just trying to make a point

I dislike the use of vagina unless I'm at the doctors, there's nothing thats guaranteed to dry me up quicker than a man whispering sweet nothings in my ear then hitting me with 'vagina' it's an ugly unappealing word. I'm not so keen on pussy, it makes it sound like women are little girls who have to have their sexual words wrapped up prettily - it's a cunt, sex should be raw and intense so should sexual words. I dislike ass, I don't mind Americans using it it's an American word for arse, but I'm English and I'm going to stick with arse, it's a traditional word with a very long history.
I dislike 'brunch' it conjures up visions of some affected bunch of brunchers sitting around nibbling things that don't constitute a real meal.
Some words commonly in use in the UK for 'vagina' are pretty unappealing - fanny, minge, gash. ICK!!!!

The word 'fag' or, 'faggot', used by any str8 man or woman is inexcusable. Makes me want to stomp and squash a str8 man's head until he is DEAD. Women being fag-bashers? Who cares? They love gay men who devote their lives and creativity to making them look pretty, then transform them into girlfriends, but when the chips are down, they always betray their gay male auxiliary girlfriends. To the very small, miniscule population of str8 m and f people out here who won't spit out those hate words, sorry to be so harsh.

 

[agnslz]

The words "torso," "lean" and "frame," used by a person to describe their body, have always disturbed me for some reason. The word/name "halibut" is also one that I feel icky about. There are others, but as usual, I'm drawing a blank atm.

That's a bit extreme... over here fag is taken in a completely different context, it's equal to words such as idiot, fool, odd or dumb.


While I'm at it, two american phrases that puzzle me(rather than annoy me) are "I could care less" and "writing"

It's not "I'm writing John", it's "I'm writing to John" I don't really see where the basis of that comes from. :tongue:

"Could care less", implies that you must care about it somewhat, for you to be able to care less about it - try "Couldn't care less". (Unless the phrase is entirely sarcastic, but I don't give people that much credit. :biggrin1:

I agree about the "I could care less" one. It is somewhat irritating when people use it to say that they don't care. I always say I couldn't care less. I pretty much don't like hearing people trying to use slang when they don't sound right using it and obviously aren't used to using it. A lot of these people are called "wiggers". Some people just sound so goofy trying to use slang. Like that girl Buckwild from the show Flavor of Love. She sounded so dumb trying to use slang. People who are used to using it with their friends on a daily basis however usually sound normal when it comes from them. Another thing I don't like is people using a word repeatedly over and over in every sentence they use. Such as yo or dude. I have heard people say stuff like "Yo you know that girl yo, yo she is fucking hot yo, for real yo." It sounds so dumb and I know a couple people who talk like this. It is like they are trying to hard to sound cool and really overdoing it.

Hehe, I use the word "frame" alot. However I use it mostly, like with "my bad" when sports are envolved. "frame" for me is a word used with the fellahs. I'm not gonna go up to a girl and go, "hey nice frame".

 

[ganja4me]

Another word that annoys me is "skeet". I don't know why but it sounds so dumb to me.

Well, perhaps you can find solace in the fact that I'm not bugged by them, they just sound strange to me, is all.:biggrin::tongue:


Another word/name that sounds weird to me is "Biloxi." Again, I don't know why, but it does.:biggrin:

The recently invented word that makes priority into a verb annoys me:

prioritize

Newscasters are always saying "road closures" rather than "road closings" here in the States. One looks for closure to an unpleasant situation while the newscaster reads the list of school closings for the public good.

Also over the last twenty years or so I've noticed the noun disrespect being used as a verb as in "you disrespected me".

Last I knew the proper term was "you've treated me with disrespect".

No doubt recent dicitionaries have pronounced "disrespect" to be a proper verb.

What about disrespectful being used as an adjective. Is that a newer way to use it or has it always been that way?
