"It was the least I could do."
Really? You made a list of things you could do for me and you picked the one that required the least effort? Okay.

I hate that everything is a "hack" now. What happened to hints or shortcuts or good ideas or ...
Also not a fan of the term kidlets.
And I have noticed on the early morning newscasts on our local NBC channel, the anchors talk like they are visiting with you in person. Example: "Hey guys, you have to come and watch this next story..." or "Okay, you guys, this next story is really gonna make you smile..."
I guess I still expect some semblance of professionalism from news anchors.

"Made from scratch" I just hate that saying. It sounds gross to me, like someone scratched together the ingredients with their nails. "Nom nom" if it is someone under the age of 5 saying it, it is OK, but adults? Just no. The phrase "nom nom" or its cousin "nummy" for me is akin to nails on a chalkboard. Ugh. Can't stand it! |

"sesh" - As in "I had a great sesh at the gym today!" Like nails on a chalkboard...

I forgot about 'hack'. Yes, everything is a 'life hack.'
The phrase 'first world problem.' If it is a problem, let's find a solution. Something doesn't have to be life or death for it to be worth fixing.
Stupid phrases like, "She thought she could, so she did." Sometimes thinking and trying is just not going to make it happen.

I don't like hearing people say, orientated/disorientated. It's oriented/disoriented. Thank you thank you! One of my pet peeves. I know they are both accepted uses, but orientated just sounds wrong. Also nucular. It has become an acceptable pronunciation of nuclear (though I can't begin to understand why). It's Noo as in Moo and Clear as in A Clear Day. Nuclear. Please help me not correct the next person who says it? |

I guess I still expect some semblance of professionalism from news anchors. Yeah, didn't Hack used to mean it was changed into something else? I saw an "egg hack" this week, with video. The presenter did five minutes using mason jar lid as frames to cook an egg in a round shape. Maybe I'm alone but I'd swear my grandmother mentioned doing that in a pinch, or home ec. I hate chummy anchors too, stop chatting and give me the news! |

Littles - we are taking the littles to the park
panties
easy peasy, yummy (except when talking to a young child)
and many others! Some of the things other peas have mentioned I don't like either, but I have never heard anyone say that, so good.
There are some words/phrases I always try to remember for when someone starts this thread, but I always forget. I need to write them down! |

Oh, there are many!
I've always cringed at "at the end of the day...." and most other corporate jargon. Blech.
My recent irritating saying is when someone responds with "I know, right?"
Done.

"Adorbs" (adorable) and "totes" (totally)... Just no.
I also really dislike when people post things like "Love my _____", "Love that my _____ did _____", "Love that I can _____". Put an "I" at the beginning of those, people!!! (I know it's irrational, but it grates on my nerves.)

I'd listen to stupid slang all day before I'd want to listen to a sales and marketing seminar. Equally annoying are health profession buzzwords. One more journal citing "evidence-based best practices" and I'm burning down the ANA.

I also don't like vacay (staycation reminded me). I don't hear anyone of my friends ever saying vacay/staycation or talking like a baby/teen. My teens don't even talk like that.

One more: "the girls"in reference to breasts. I know it's popular and nothing personal to anyone who uses it, it's just my thing--but it makes me cringe the way "preggers" does!

(I hate when people mispronounce it, too) I have to avoid saying nuclear because it's pronounced incorrectly so much, that I forget which is correct! I will have to remember the advice above - moo and clear! |

Vacay. You're an adult and can say vacation.
Rainbow bridge. Animals don't have souls.
What the.... Especially from kids!
Oh my God. God's name used as an exclamation is equivalent to using it in vain. You aren't talking to Him in this instance.
I seen. Correct grammar, please.

I know it's acceptable to say it both ways, but I can't stand when people say off-TEN, instead of off-EN. You don't pronounce the t in soften, listen, fasten, moisten, or Christmas, or the p in raspberry, or the d in handsome. I'll own my testiness!  |

Time to get off the internet!
those may be correct someplace but not in my ears.
