Do you just hate certain words?

"jank" or "janked"

 

[Spear Dane]

Diversity. Inclusive (unless used to describe a vacay package). Hmmm. Basically if it's a massively overused and/or misused SJW word, I hate it. Oh and REPARATIONS

What about Boo?

In that same vein, I hate "hubby", not exactly sure why, but it always grates on my nerves.


And my wife called me "baby" in bed, I nearly left right then... ... but I stayed for another thirty seconds, then left to make a sammich.

Can I add "anxious"? I don't hate the word per se, just the usage.

You're anxious about your medical test, you're eager about getting that IPA you ordered.

Do you work for Hi-Point?

when someone is talking about replying to an email, using the phrase, "So I kicked back".

It makes me cringe when men refer to women as females because it sexualizes them. A woman is a person; female is her gender.

How do you feel about "broads", "dames" or "chicks"? *ducking*

 

[DoggyDaddy]

"De nada" - Spanish translates to 'it's nothing', but used as 'you're welcome'.

Kinda goes with "no problem" mentioned earlier. Or the equivalent of "think nothing of it" as a response to an expression of appreciation.

Doesn't irk me as much.

I thought the proper response was, "My names's not baby, it's Janet. Miss Jackson to you."

 

[snorko]

Using "of" instead of "have" bothers me. As in, "should of", "could of", "would of".

Perhaps they are saying should've, could've and would've.

 

[JettaKnight]

I thought the proper response was, "My names's not baby, it's Janet. Miss Jackson to you."

Next time, I'll try that, but I worry that it will end up like many other times where I said something inappropriate and was met with, "OK, we're done here!"

You're too young to remember that. It's "No, my first name ain't Baby; It's Janet--Miss Jackson if you're nasty."

THIS. There's a term for when one word (or contraction) morphs into something else because it's just easier for the tongue.

DoggyDaddy's a decade and a half older than me, I listened to that album A LOT as a kid.

If it's spoken, yes. If they're typing it, then no.

Definitely not too young! But certainly old enough to have screwed up the lyrics from NOT listening to that album!

Like I said, if it's spoken, I agree they sound the same. If it's typed out, it's just wrong. That's one of the reasons I refuse to use speech-to-text software. By the time I get done correcting what it "thought" I said, I could have (not "of") just typed it out.

Ooh, with you there.
