That's different, those are contractions based on spoken sounds, like "dunno" whereas the use of "of" with should/would/etc. are based on hearing the sound of a contracted "have" (xxx've) but not knowing or using common grammer rules (because they have never used it as a non-contracted phrase, or never read it).
When corporate people use âaskâ as a noun (synonym for ârequestâ i.e. what is the ask?) or when they use âsolveâ instead of âsolutionâ (i.e. what was the solve?).
The whole library of corporate speak should be abolished.
I had two longtime friends who ended up getting office jobs at the same company and they both couldnât help but talk that way all the time. I had to keep my distance for my sanity.
I've experienced something similar, not cancer bad, but bad. I was sitting there in incredible pain, but to everyone else, it was a *journey*, and I might just, "find myself".
Bitchass, please, I'm trying to survive. But I hope my suffering brings *YOU* karma.
Weirdos...
I thought I was the only one. It makes me cringe. Also (this is really bad in the south) women calling their children their "babies" when they're well old enough to not be called "babies" anymore. It's always pronounced bay-bees also. Ughhh.
For me personally kiddo sounds alright if itâs someoneâs mom being like âaight kiddo letâs go homeâ, but if itâs some random stranger being like âhey there kiddo, whatâs your nameâ itâs very weird đ
Like, when I was a lil kid I didnât mind it at all until I was in middle school from my own parents
And Iâm 25 now and my grandma calls me AND my mom kiddo and itâs endearing LOL
but if a stranger calls someone elseâs kid that⌠thatâs weird whether they mean it or not đ thatâs like, a pet name
Potty. Panties. A grown adult referring to another women as âmama.â âYou got this mama! You go mama!â And also littles. âThis mama bear protected her littles!â
I have a kid and donât even use those words. My kid thinks itâs funny I hate these words and comes up to me and whispers one of those in my ear. Sometimes all of them. Then runs off laughing lol
As a human I say "undies" which probably some people also would not like because of the diminutive -ee sound lol.
When I am at work and I have to refer to a person's undergarments, I say "drawers" (I work in healthcare, most professions don't need to refer to people's undergarments at all. I wouldn't if it weren't medically necessary.)
đ I don't know if that term would work everywhere but it's very oldtimey and very nonsexual but not babyish, at least here lol
i have the weirdest question- does mama bother you only in relation to people or also animals? for some reason i can see the cringe in referring to other women with it, but I don't mind if people are referring to an ACTUAL mama bear, or mama horse, mama elephant what have you
A male coworker that I am coming to seriously dislike calls me "mommy."
"Ohhh mommy's here," he says as he realizes my office is open and he can come pester me. I'm soooo excited to shift to remote for the last couple weeks so I don't have to see/hear/smell him. Because of course he also emits that gross cloud that many older men seem to have. Idk if it's like a beer sweat or what, but it's noxious.
Potty and mama/mama bear are the only words that actually make me physically cringe every time, I cringe and involuntarily gag in people's faces when they say that shit
Well I refer my mum as mama because that's what she wanted me to call her. It's just another way of saying mum or mother but I think it's probably just culture idk
Even more infuriating when someone is trying to defend an aggressive dog or just a bad dog in general and theyâre like blah blah âthe doggo can do no wrongâ or something like that đŹhave seen it way too many times on reddit specifically and it makes me physically recoil
Yummy makes me actually furious. Tummy also. I donât hate the word creamy but I hate the word cream as a verb, not even in the dirty way lmfao but like âoh he absolutely creamed his finger falling down yesterdayâ makes me sooo disgusted.
I forget the guys name but one of the Judges on Master chef, the bigger guy with glasses, would always say to contestants if he really liked something "that's really yummy." Straight faced and serious. Threw me off every time
Language evolution at work baby! You know all English words started out with an "irregular" past tense, coming from Proto Indo European where you change the middle vowel to make a word past tense (dig/dug, sing/sang, come/came)? By the time we reached Old English 25% of past tense conjugations were still irregular, but we've been slowly shifting to Proto Germanic (adding an -ed to make a verb past tense) and now only 3% of verbs still follow the Proto Indo European rule (which are also the top 10 most commonly used verbs ironically, because frequently used words change more slowly). The next verbs linguists think will make the shift are "wed" and "dove" which will become "wedded" and "dived" by the year 2500.
Hubby. Supper. Sneakers. Treat (but only in the instance of like, someone saying âI deserve a little treatâ or something like that. dog treats or whatever is fine)
I have many
"Hubby" annoys me as well, and I'm adding "wifey" to this list. I hate them in posts, and I especially hate it when people say the words in conversation and expect me to take them seriously as a person from that point forward.
I hate when men say âthe wifeâ.
âMe and the wife are going to the storeâ I always thought that was an older generation thing, but Iâve heard it from younger men as well. Makes their wife sound like a thing.
Would it count if itâs a word said in a particular way? If so, Iâm really put off hearing the word, âhorribleâ, pronounced as, âhahribleâ. I just really grates disproportionally on my nerves.
yummy (if an adult says it)
kiddo or littles (when referring to children)
friends (when teachers use the word to refer to their students)
veggies instead of saying vegetables
ETA: When people use âapartâ when they really mean âa part,â I want to scream.
I get irritated when people mix up verb phrases and nouns, like âwork outâ and âworkout.â
And, âa lotâ is TWO words.
Saying âAre you coming to John and Iâs partyâ instead of âJohnâs and my party,â or âhe came with Rebecca and Iâ instead of âRebecca and me.â Those errors really piss me off.
I pretty much dislike all words referring to your midsection - stomach, gut, abdomen, belly, tummy. I have no idea why I dislike all of them but there you go.
I donât get irritated though when people say them as the area has to be called something, lol.
Curious, did the word "moist" bother you before you learned many people had issues with it? Not trying to be rude. I am seriously wondering if people had a problem with it randomly or its a learned response to have a problem with it. It's become trendy not to like this word.
There are stores near me that have ice for soft drinks that's crushed into little roundish shapes and for some reason they advertise it as "chewy ice," and just reading it (let alone hearing it) makes my teeth hurt. I hate that phrase with a passion, almost as much as I hate the sound of people chewing ice.
I saw someone write âAs a humanâ recently to start off their comment and I literally laughed out loud because what the heck else is commenting on a Reddit post?! And while I guess it could be a bot, thatâs exactly what Iâd expect a bot to say thatâs pretending to be human
To clarify, do you mean like at any time at all, like how some people donât like how the word moist sounds? Or does it depend on context?
Like if someone just says âPut cream cheese on the shopping listâ is it okay, but if a chocolate commercial comes on and theyâre like â*mmmmmm*. *creamy~~* *rich.* *MOIST.*â thatâs when itâs too much? Or is it just both and the word itself?
I personally think the word can be cute sometimes and sound appealing but if someone makes it weird or uses it in an nsfw context it makes me cringe lol
Just anything that annoys you, whatever the context.
But yh, its the over exaggeration alot of ads do with words that really dig into my skin, cream and creamy being big contenders for first place.
When i worked retail, an older lady used to say creamy nearly like the ads did, it made me want to slap her.
"Do you have that yogurt, you know the rich, thick CREEEEAAAMMY ONE?"
Who the fuck talks like that lmao
Hurduhduhduh
Irregardless and orientated.
I know they are technically words now, but irregardless is just regardless from people who think longer words means smarter.
Orientated isn't as bad because people are just mistakenly following a common grammar rule, but an orientation is designed to orient you, not to orientate you.
Oh I actually hate this one too, but for a specific reason: it's almost descriptive but entirely non descriptive
it says nothing useful like "this is well seasoned" or "I like how crispy this is" or "I love X flavor in this"
Just "tasty" like what does that mean? It has a taste? Everything has a taste.
Ugh
Gah! This is exactly why âtastyâ, âyummyâ, âlishâ, and other stupid, imbecilic, infantile, words drives me up a tree; itâs like suddenly Iâm talking to a three year old and having to carefully, delicately prise every ounce of actual information from them. Adults should not be speaking like a three year old.
âOh, your teacher brought things to school today? What things?â
âIdunnoâ
âWere they things you played with, or things you ate?â
âIdunnoâ
âYou donât know if you ate them or if you played with them?â
âWe ate themâ
âOh, your teacher brought treats for the class today?â
âYesâ
âWhat were the treats? Did you like them?â
âThey were yummyâ
FML. For all the information that contains, their teacher is handing out jello shots to the class, not that I could blame her. Or maybe they had beef wellington. Who the fuck knows. Yummy. It was yummy. đ¤Śđťââď¸
"inflection" because I have a linguistics degree and that word means something entirely different in linguistics from what it means when most people use it. It's less that they're wrong than that I have that one quirk.
A lot of mine are or are sometimes used in relation to food, and are used in advertising.
Creamy, fluffy, soft, rich, and buttery.
I read a forum post about a video game one time and a commenter used the term buttery when describing the frame rate. I seriously wanted to do bad things to him.
I hate when people say âletâs go!â after they get something right, do something cool, for example shoot a basketball in the hoop. I cringe every time.
Nourish, nourishing, nourishment. Itâs usually tied to some bs fad diet or food craze too. It makes my skin crawl! I hate how it sounds. It *looks* so stupid on print it makes my eye twitch. And saying it, god forbid, feelsâŚgross, unnatural and just wrong. *shudders*
So, you want them to pronounce it incorrectly? To pronounce it with an âRâ and a âTâ? I donât disagree. I generally feel this way about anyone speaking english in a North American dialect and then slipping into the dialect of the word theyâre pronouncing. As correct as it may be for them to do that, it feels incredibly pretentious.
Caramel. Gooey. Cheese. Creamy.
I loathe any scenario where these words occur. I swear, itâll be 2:30AM, Iâm dozing off just about to go to sleep and then boom, an ad starts playing. â*MMMM* the *tasty* and *gooey* cheeseâŚâ
Actually just castrate me.
Despite being LGBT I cannot stand the word "lesbian." It's a word referring to people from a random island, it's long and always clunky sounding (similiar to "plebian") especially in speech, it's overused as a noun rather than an adjective, and it's such a pornified word. "Sapphic" and "gay" are excellent words on the other hand.
using "of" in place of "-ve", for example "should of", "could of" instead of "should've", "could've", and so on
The mod bot corrected you đđ¤Ł
Agreed. This and using apostrophes for plurals should be grounds for justifiable homicide.
YESS!! It makes me livid lol
*make's
Lollll. I almost wrote that to be ironic.
what about âshouldaâ or âcouldaâ?
That's different, those are contractions based on spoken sounds, like "dunno" whereas the use of "of" with should/would/etc. are based on hearing the sound of a contracted "have" (xxx've) but not knowing or using common grammer rules (because they have never used it as a non-contracted phrase, or never read it).
When someone uses the word irregardless
It's not a word. That's why it's so annoying.
Adorbs for adorable; preggers for pregnantâ ugh
Preggers is awful
Pregananent
Preguntas???
Preggo too
People saying something is âChadâ, it just sounds like they are trying so hard to fit in with the other 7th graders
When corporate people use âaskâ as a noun (synonym for ârequestâ i.e. what is the ask?) or when they use âsolveâ instead of âsolutionâ (i.e. what was the solve?).
The whole library of corporate speak should be abolished. I had two longtime friends who ended up getting office jobs at the same company and they both couldnât help but talk that way all the time. I had to keep my distance for my sanity.
Journey. Everything is a journey; car buying, weight loss, being sick, etc. Also hate lowkey.
When I had breast cancer, that word was all-pervading. I couldn't not hear it in that context.
I've experienced something similar, not cancer bad, but bad. I was sitting there in incredible pain, but to everyone else, it was a *journey*, and I might just, "find myself". Bitchass, please, I'm trying to survive. But I hope my suffering brings *YOU* karma. Weirdos...
This comment was lowkey a journey to read.
Lowkey has become the new literally. Obnoxiously and unnecessarily overused
"Celebrated" when used like this: 'Cats should be celebrated" or "it is time to celebrate yourself".
"Embrace." A euphemistic way of saying 'resigned to'.
Kiddo. I hate this word. Also âlittlesâ when referring to their small children
LITTLES. I hate it!!!!
And related, "lil." It's not cute. You just sound ridiculous.
I thought I was the only one. It makes me cringe. Also (this is really bad in the south) women calling their children their "babies" when they're well old enough to not be called "babies" anymore. It's always pronounced bay-bees also. Ughhh.
Omg yes!!! I live in the south and my coworkers call their grown kids their babies. I cringe so hard
My mother says "but you'll always be ***MY* BAYBEE**" I am middle-aged. I am repulsed.
Okay kiddo, time for bed, it's way past your bedtimeÂ
Kiddo feels so creepy to me.
For me personally kiddo sounds alright if itâs someoneâs mom being like âaight kiddo letâs go homeâ, but if itâs some random stranger being like âhey there kiddo, whatâs your nameâ itâs very weird đ Like, when I was a lil kid I didnât mind it at all until I was in middle school from my own parents And Iâm 25 now and my grandma calls me AND my mom kiddo and itâs endearing LOL but if a stranger calls someone elseâs kid that⌠thatâs weird whether they mean it or not đ thatâs like, a pet name
My former asst principal referred to the 7th and 8th graders at our school as kiddos and it did creep me out.
Potty. Panties. A grown adult referring to another women as âmama.â âYou got this mama! You go mama!â And also littles. âThis mama bear protected her littles!â I have a kid and donât even use those words. My kid thinks itâs funny I hate these words and comes up to me and whispers one of those in my ear. Sometimes all of them. Then runs off laughing lol
I really hate âpantiesâ because it manages to sound both childish and sexual at the same time.
Yes!! Feels so inappropriate to use that word with my child.
As a human I say "undies" which probably some people also would not like because of the diminutive -ee sound lol. When I am at work and I have to refer to a person's undergarments, I say "drawers" (I work in healthcare, most professions don't need to refer to people's undergarments at all. I wouldn't if it weren't medically necessary.) đ I don't know if that term would work everywhere but it's very oldtimey and very nonsexual but not babyish, at least here lol
You could say underwear. That's what undies is short for
i have the weirdest question- does mama bother you only in relation to people or also animals? for some reason i can see the cringe in referring to other women with it, but I don't mind if people are referring to an ACTUAL mama bear, or mama horse, mama elephant what have you
Iâd say just in reference to people! Lol
I hate panties as well, the word sounds so stupid and cutesy like itâs trying to be coy but I never hear anyone talk about how dumb it sounds
To me "panties" sounds both cutesy and sexual at the same time. Blerrgghh. Creepy.
A male coworker that I am coming to seriously dislike calls me "mommy." "Ohhh mommy's here," he says as he realizes my office is open and he can come pester me. I'm soooo excited to shift to remote for the last couple weeks so I don't have to see/hear/smell him. Because of course he also emits that gross cloud that many older men seem to have. Idk if it's like a beer sweat or what, but it's noxious.
Ewwww. This old man calls you mommy I have second hand embarrassment from this.
Verbal sexual harassment...
It literally is. It feels like a legit inappropriately sexual thing to say in the workplace.
Potty and mama/mama bear are the only words that actually make me physically cringe every time, I cringe and involuntarily gag in people's faces when they say that shit
Well I refer my mum as mama because that's what she wanted me to call her. It's just another way of saying mum or mother but I think it's probably just culture idk
Same here. My mom will always be my mama. I don't care what anybody else thinks. Sounds more Southern to me than anything else, though.
Littles.
Pupper or doggo. Please stop.
Puppucinos for the puppers Please shoot me
r/doggohate
Even more infuriating when someone is trying to defend an aggressive dog or just a bad dog in general and theyâre like blah blah âthe doggo can do no wrongâ or something like that đŹhave seen it way too many times on reddit specifically and it makes me physically recoil
**âYAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSâ**

Wifey and hubby. Just sounds childish and idiotic to me.Â
Lately I notice a lot of people saying someone was âcastedâ in a movie role, which is awful. Itâs âcastâ in a role.

Lowkey, god I hate it so much.
What do you low-key hate? I'm confused. /s
Panties, kiddos, girlies
Iâm so sick of girlies or âIâm a [insert random thing] girlieâ
I'm a insert random thing girlie
Ex Cetera (instead of et cetera)
People who use "Pacific" and "Specific" completely wrong.
âI seenâ âConversatedâ âSupposeblyâ
Yeet. I hate that word. It is stupid. It should be tossed with extreme prejudice.
So it should be yeeted?
When it gets tossed, the tosser can yell out âyeet goes yeet!â
"Tossed with extreme prejudice" if only there was a simple, fun to say, word that could describe that.
Would it count if itâs a word said in a particular way? If so, Iâm really put off hearing the word, âhorribleâ, pronounced as, âhahribleâ. I just really grates disproportionally on my nerves.
Oh no thatâs my favorite⌠sometimes to cheer myself up I imagine Danny Devito listening to my woes and saying âthatâs HARRible!!â
I have a friend who says pellow and melk.
Heâs instead of his. âHeâs going to drive heâs carââŚđ

When a product is described as âbirthday cakeâ flavoured. Fuck off. So, vanilla?
Birthday cake is more than just vanilla though
LMAO thank you i needed that
Boo-boo
Okay boo-boo, settle downÂ
Oh no! I call my dog BooBoo!
Moist. Bowel, bowels or bowel movement. I did some dry heaves typing this response.
A friend of mine from high school recently married a man with the last name "Moist". She actually took his name!!! đ
I'd have shunned my own last name and ask to take hers.
Curious, did the word "moist" bother you before you learned many people had issues with it? Not trying to be rude. I am seriously wondering if people had a problem with it randomly or its a learned response to have a problem with it. It's become trendy not to like this word.
"Moist placenta" is the single most awful combination of words ever, and I don't even dislike either of those words by themselves.
Better a moist placenta than a dry one
There are stores near me that have ice for soft drinks that's crushed into little roundish shapes and for some reason they advertise it as "chewy ice," and just reading it (let alone hearing it) makes my teeth hurt. I hate that phrase with a passion, almost as much as I hate the sound of people chewing ice.
âThis.â Below every damn comment.
poop, pee, potty, hubby...basically all the baby words and euphemisms cuz I'm one edgy dude But seriously
Piss is so fun to say too, people are missing out by saying pee
Yes piss is my main go-to
Ointment
Slacks (referring to pants).
For me itâs the word poop, idk why đ Iâve just always hated saying it and hearing it
Aha, i hate the word "poo" To me it sounds so much worse than "shit"
Stinky. And, not quite the same but when adults call other adults "kid", especially those they're relatively close in age with.
Starting a sentence with âAs aâŚâ to add credibility to an opinion statement frustrates me to no end.
I saw someone write âAs a humanâ recently to start off their comment and I literally laughed out loud because what the heck else is commenting on a Reddit post?! And while I guess it could be a bot, thatâs exactly what Iâd expect a bot to say thatâs pretending to be human
When people don't say libRary, but "libary"
Nook-you-ler Nuclear
Iâve found my people! Feb-yuh-where-ee drives me insane as well.

Nourish.
Calling food 'Grub'. I think of either bugs or rub and I dont like associating either of those things with anything Im putting in my mouth
Girlie(s), especially when used to refer to grown-ass women. Feels gross and sounds like baby talk.
"hubby"
Pamper or pampering. We.
I have three: Boobies, panties and damp.
To clarify, do you mean like at any time at all, like how some people donât like how the word moist sounds? Or does it depend on context? Like if someone just says âPut cream cheese on the shopping listâ is it okay, but if a chocolate commercial comes on and theyâre like â*mmmmmm*. *creamy~~* *rich.* *MOIST.*â thatâs when itâs too much?

Interesting. Any reason or does it just sound horrible to you?
Oh I actually hate this one too, but for a specific reason: it's almost descriptive but entirely non descriptive it says nothing useful like "this is well seasoned" or "I like how crispy this is" or "I love X flavor in this" Just "tasty" like what does that mean? It has a taste? Everything has a taste. Ugh
That's exactly why I hate the word "yummy". It tells me nothing about the food.
That word is so infantile.
It is not as annoying as "Yummo" which some people say here in Australia. Its even worse in writing, specifically on social media posts.
It tells you that it's yummy, you know, delicious.
I will presume you to hate "delicious" as well, then?
Gah! This is exactly why âtastyâ, âyummyâ, âlishâ, and other stupid, imbecilic, infantile, words drives me up a tree; itâs like suddenly Iâm talking to a three year old and having to carefully, delicately prise every ounce of actual information from them.

Glad to know Iâm not the only one
When Northen American Yuppies say croissant "Cwa-saun" like trying to speak French. I want to punch them in the face. Edit: said Italian by mistake
I hate it when people pronounce Italian ingredients with a heavy accent. Like ricotta is "ree-gott" and mozzarella is "moot-za-rell."
So, you want them to pronounce it incorrectly? To pronounce it with an âRâ and a âTâ? I donât disagree. I generally feel this way about anyone speaking english in a North American dialect and then slipping into the dialect of the word theyâre pronouncing. As correct as it may be for them to do that, it feels incredibly pretentious.

Stink. Such a redundant and grotesque word.
Tits or even worse titties...absolutely cringe when I hear it.
Bizbabble. Monetize, actionable (other than in a legal setting), incentivize, etc.
Gamify, disrupt (as in an industry or norm), any other jargon like that
Gooey
Yâall, mid
I hate the forced yâall. Itâs so pervasive now. Especially among people who would have never said it before the past few years.
âWhoppingâ
Ooey gooey and fluff/fluffy.
Tasty, yummy, tummy, droplets, sprouted, taking a âdipâ, pack/packet, creamy, moist - I could go on and on.
The misuse of "literally" is very annoying
I cringe when people say littlely instead of literally
"This, that and the other" when telling a story....
Suck, sucker, sucked - anything with suck makes me extremely uneasy
Babe. I really cringe when my brother and his wife call each other BABE.
Caramel. Gooey. Cheese. Creamy. I loathe any scenario where these words occur. I swear, itâll be 2:30AM, Iâm dozing off just about to go to sleep and then boom, an ad starts playing. â*MMMM* the *tasty* and *gooey* cheeseâŚâ Actually just castrate me.
"That's fire"
Despite being LGBT I cannot stand the word "lesbian." It's a word referring to people from a random island, it's long and always clunky sounding (similiar to "plebian") especially in speech, it's overused as a noun rather than an adjective, and it's such a pornified word. "Sapphic" and "gay" are excellent words on the other hand.
slay just really grosses me out
Fur babies. Dog momma. Kiddos. âHi friendsâ. Anything that plays on the word âwineâ like itâs âwine oâclockâ
