There are words that I hate for no apparent reason , I am a fairly irrational person anyway but there are words that make me actually want to hit people when they use them . Anyhoo is one, I mean what the fuck is wrong with anyway, or anyhow if you must?.

that's not an irrational hate at all.

People who use the following should be shot:

"let's take a meeting"

"it's not a problem . . it's a challenge."

i think i read that word "anyhoo" somewhere recently. i don't like it either. i also don't like it when someone starts a sentence with the word.. Um... like we are way too stupid to understand what they are trying to convey.

Oooooh! And I never say "pardon"..what a horrid word. I always say excuse me or sorry.

Meme said...

I always say I beg your pardon or usually sorry. I hate beaker for mug but anyhoo isn;t even a word . Weaslemum also hates people who talk about themselves in the third person

An irritating colleague of mine uses the words 'happening' or 'going on' far too much. 'It's not happening, is it Verity' or 'we want to get a [such and such]happening/ going on here'. I have another irritating colleague who laughs ha as ha she ha talks ho ho, when what she is saying is he he entirely boring ha and not funny in the slightest. I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to be a grumpy pensioner with zero tolerance of buzzwords and jolly people.

Verity. I can't wait to be a grumpy pensioner. Then I will have an excuse for my bad attitude.

I say um and erm a lot. It's because I can never remember what I'm saying next.

You read "anyhoo" on Ragamuffins blog spidey . It's in the first sentence of the latest post . Another word I find can't stand and I only first came on it in chats is "thingy"! For Gods sake just say "thing" . Thingy sounds like freaking baby talk . allan

I hate the word 'workshop' when it is applied to anything but a place where people work with machines.
Anything 'gate' when applied to a scandal in the news.

My kids have taken to using Shakespearean insults: "Thou art a villain!", "Thou art a ratcatcher!" and "Rotten orange". Like trollop, the best words are the old ones.

Anonymous said...

my favourite words are trollop and throb. i also think cascade is a nice word.
i don't like the words fanny and cock.
i know this is going off the point but hate it when people say "i could of" instead of "i could have"

I knew somebody would say the c word.

Strumpet and crescendo are also lovely words.

it is annoying because people usually say anyways in a way that can sometimes infer that the listener's response is not that deterministic on the speaker's opinion. Anywhoo same deal, except worse because they are trying to act nice when they are being presumptuous and condescending.

I give people of the doubt and don't judge that this is really a conscious thing, but it still annoys me too.
