What is a word or phrase that you hate?

I, for instance, find it quite annoying when people overuse the word 'quite' on the internet in an effort to sound superior and well educated.

Honestly, any form of the “n” word. Substituting an “a” at the end instead of “er” changes nothing. Non blacks who use it are racist; so [b]blacks[/b] who use it casually are [b]stupid[/b], ignorant of the history of the word. 😒

@bijouxbroussard 👍👍this.

People use it to sound educated? I thought it was just an average word.

@MorbidCynic that's what I was thinking too

coffeedimplez · 26-30, F

@MorbidCynic Yes. When ever people start having an internet debate "I'm smarter!" "No, I'm smarter!" They start over using the word quite until it starts sounding ridiculous.

coffeedimplez · 26-30, F

@Montanaman Actually I have a bad habit of saying "and everything" but that's because I'm an awkward person

Montanaman · M

@coffeedimplez I can deal with that 👍🤗

"Dialogue" and "Narrative" ugh. They are words like any other word but the media over uses them in a pompous way.

PaleandPolluted · 36-40, F

When people say sort of when they don’t need to. The basket is full with sort of oranges...

coffeedimplez · 26-30, F

@PaleandPolluted lol me too

FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F

People who say a word from another language and pronounce it like they speak the language annoys me.

allsfinebime2 · M

The word "Love" is over used.

Magenta · F

@allsfinebime2 Yes. And beautiful. They've nearly lost all their value.

Magenta · F

Oh, and soul. Yikes.

SW-User

No worries...a line that is getting over used.

I don't like using the word [i]hate.[/i]

coffeedimplez · 26-30, F

@SW-User Sorry for triggering one of your pet peeves 🤭

Glossy · F

The trend in the British media at the moment is to start your response to every question with the word “So...” and it drives me bloody mad. the more “educated“ the person is, the more frequently this word begins their responses.

coffeedimplez · 26-30, F

@Glossy Yes! Here too.

ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F

“It is what it is”

or

“My bad...”

Glossy · F

The other word that “educated” people seem to get wrong is “”newcular” it seems to be a combination of nuclear and molecular. Unfortunately the world doesn’t exist. But that doesn’t stop scholars, media pundits, politicians and renowned experts from using it.

I do not know the quality of the people you converse with. Or whether they are making an effort for you to understand them. 😉

@coffeedimplez How about yourself. Do you use a word more often then you do else were?

I think I overuse the word: 'Though.'

coffeedimplez · 26-30, F

@Thevy29 Not really in specific places, but I was telling someone else that I say 'and everything' at the end of my statements when I'm feeling awkward, which is most of the time. 🤭

ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F

And that reminds me of another...when people say ‘conversate’ instead of ‘converse’ haha @Thevy29

SW-User

Nope, that's not it.
Maybe it's seen that way among Americans and British, but not for others. We use it because we might like it, and not to impress them.

coffeedimplez · 26-30, F

@SW-User I understand that, and I don't care when people use it as a regular word. I really meant in specific instances when people are trying to sound smart during an internet debate.

SW-User

@coffeedimplez I've noticed that when Americans overuse it they use it to mostly impress the British and themselves.
I use it as an intensifier, when not sure what to use instead, or when lazy to pick words.
Anyway, that's as far as I can tell. 🤷‍♂️ You know best on how things word among your people.
To others that aren't American, British or others that have English as their native language, it is, really, just a regular word.🤷‍♂️
