Words you hate.

"a-hole" (the censored version) is a good one and sounds funny in a sentence

The first word I thought of was "n*gger" which is what some redneck blurted out in Wal-Mart just last night.
BB gets REALLLLY angry when she hears that word!!

I think pretty much any racial slur ranks right up there as unacceptable. There's just no need for it.

People are using awful an awful lot and it is starting to get awfully annoying

No, there sure isn't, but if someone says that word in my presence, they tend to get an earful. Hubby's had to hold me back before.

Between the "n" word and people smackin' their kids around in front of me, I get a little feisty!

You're being awfully redundant.

SO DO I!!! And the "P" word...goes with the "C" word..hate it, hate it, hate it!!!! I am a lady and I DO NOT have THOSE THINGS!!!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Another one!!!

"By the way..."

It's not so much the phrase, but the tone people have when they start a sentence that way makes me want to use the "talk to the hand" method.

You and me both, Mal. My BIL, who is black, uses that disgusting word all the time and you better believe I crawl his ASS whenever I hear him use it....especially in front of my nephews.

Again, I agree with you Sy.....ANY racial slurs are down right unacceptable and are grounds for Dally's halo to fall off.

I had a Sociology professor who was attached to the word "basically" (as in: so, basically, this is just, basically, a sample of what is, basically, a pause-filler)
We once counted during class. He said it 36 times in 45 minutes.

Need to think of some other ones...

I pronounce it that way. (But I spell it correctly.)
It was brought to my attention a few years ago and I have been trying to correct it. I don't even know why I say it that way.

I don't have such a problem with the "p" word or the "c" word. I actually use the "p" word (and the "f" word) quite a bit.

I have the worst potty mouth! I hardly ever drop the c-bomb, but definitely have a few times.

Being that I frequent WalMart, I do tend to hear that from time to time. I have a standard response of rolling my eyes and giving them a disgusted look. As far as I'm concerned, they're not worth my time to waste words on.

As for people smacking their kids around, I always love how they do it and somehow think their kid's going to listen with them doing that, and the kid(s) just get worse after the fact. Then they start crying and the parent yells at the for that. Those people get the same look from me.

While we're on the subject of "t"s--the word "often" makes me nuts too. I don't even know the correct way to say it, but I was raised pronouncing it as "offin" whereas I hear other people say "oft-en".

The "n" word really gets my goat when I'm hanging out with people I know and one of them uses it. There's one of Matt's friends who is really bad about it. If it's in a store or something, I just kind of glare at them.

I can (and have) gone rounds on BN about people hitting kids, so, um, let's not here.

I have several on my list.

arguably...stupid word

basically..mentioned above

LIKE I hate the use of that like word

Improper use of the word MYSELF, John and myself went to the show...no, John and I went to the show. Used quite often by news people.

And my all time favorite...take a left hand turn, turns do not have hands , it's a left turn not a left hand turn. AAAGGGGGGGG that one drives me nuts like nails on a chalk board.

my boss says unequivocally in virtually every sentence and seldom in the correct context or pronouced right.

The "t" should be silent. This one gets me the same way as vee-hicle. The "h" in vehicle is silent!

It's not so much silent, but it's a very soft, almost implied "h" sound. Not "hickle" as in "sickle".

It's a breathy "h" not a hard "h".

I've had to light my kid up a couple of times in the store and it works for me. There has to be a consequnce for their actions and a time out does not seem to work as well as a good ole fashioned butt spanking.
And it's not as if I hurt him. It's always on his bottom which is great considering I got hot wheels tracks, coat hangers, belt buckles, hairbushes, switches, etc.
Dang! no wonder I have issues...

He-he, she said "breathy and hard" in the same sentence
