Words you can't stand

I know what you mean though I tend to use sick more often. I don't know why but when I say 'ill' it sounds to me like I have some serious illness, not just a standard cold

that's interesting, as i would do the opposite - unwell/ill if it's a cold/flu/ear infection or whatever, but i would describe someone as being "sick" if it was a serious illness/disease.

Brain fart I dunno what it is but when I heard someone say it to me for the first time when I was at work I instantly hated that word

I saw a hair product ad on tv tonight. PTSD has made me forget the brand. The voiceover distinctly said ‘smoothening’. Bloody SMOOTHENING!!!!

What is the world coming to? Tsk!!! I might combust

In my family we call it Picky Bits which I think sounds worse!

Makes me think of people picking dead skin off of their feet!

I seem to have a real problem with food related words, especially if they’re shortened, so things like chocs, pots, toms make me want to vomit. I also hate the word meal and I have no idea why!

There’s been a real increase in people around me saying script instead of prescription too and that makes me cringe myself inside out.

Also when Americans say I COULD care less. It doesn’t even make sense!

Describing stuff as super. "I was super excited..." "I am super proud..."
The overuse of like and literally "I was like.." "he was like..." "I was literally..." "It was literally..."
Piss off and learn some new words.

OMG! I was saying this yesterday to someone. People where I live and it's mostly twenty something's, using the word literally for every other word and it's so f****** irritating!!! 99% of the time they are using it wrong too.

I thought 'veggies' was just me! Hate that word.

Yeah, I mean, the word is vegetables! We are not toddlers!
