people who call there mother "mommy" and are NOT children anymore.

Annoying. They probably go 'tee-tee' as well.

You never go looking for it? :sneaky:

parched. My wife says it and it just irritates the hell out of me.

So funny. My brother used to hate the phrase, "country bumpkin" when his wife said it on occasion.

I have an irrational hate of the word "nowadays", and feel uncontrollable rage when I see it as "now a days", or even worse "now-a-days".

You're right, that is irrational.

If you would practice safe sex you wouldnt see so many pamphlets.

I hate the word "there" in situations when it's supposed to be "their."

You spend too much time online. Personally, I find it difficult to distinguish between there, their and they're in everyday speech.

Then you're a moron.

You can't tell from the context of the conversation?

I can, but I can't tell if they spelled it correctly.

This is probably true. :\

I think you meant to post in the thread "People you hate?".

That isn't what you said in your other post...

The 1 word I CAN NEVER SAY in front of my mother is cu*t. I said it once around 12, got the belt and a strict lecture on never saying it again. I say it in my head when im pissed at her, but thats as far as it ever goes.

Too bad you didn't get the belt more often.

Or uttered at all by an "urban poet." They LOVE to over-use that word which is particularly why I hate it.

Another one that they love which I hate is "juxtapose." There's even a magazine called "Juxtapoz" or something for them and the wanna-be hipsters they appeal to. Ugh.

The main reason I hate these words is because their clique tries so hard for people to think they are smart that they grab onto a couple "smart words" and grossly over-use them. It's so blatantly obvious and yet it goes on and on, completely unchecked and unchallenged. NPR always eats it up.
