Title: What words or phrases do you hate?
Post by: Solo on Sat, 20 September 2014, 18:33:41
Please tell us about any words, phrases or nuances in grammar that you find repulsive, idiotic, or irritating.

I absolutely despise "wifey". In fact, adding a "y" to any word or given name where it just doesn't belong bothers me. Altering/over-dramatizing words by implementing Y's in order to make them more edgy or casual is also silly. Examples: Jeffy (Jeff), lappy (laptop), vaycay (vacation).

Here are some other things that I find to be more devastating than others:

-Spooning
-Panties
-"Baby bump"
-Shortening "aluminum" to "alu"
-"Free-balling"
-"The game" in the context of sporting events
-Daddy-O, Danny-O, etc.

Diminutives in general are very irritating.

I particularly dislike the question "You liiiike?" unless the asker is very uncomfortable in the English language all around.

Also, "Don't you agree?" whether I do, or not.

When someone says something is "delish"

"Hella". If you say this I assume you're white trash.

"Chunk" as in "I'm going to chunk a brick at your head if you don't shut up".  I heard this one all the time when I was in Texas.  It's chuck. Chunk is something you tear off of a loaf of bread.

You all do seem to be distraught with rather fickle things.

I personally detest any of the word-play used in popular media. Word-play is to be used in addition to a mastery of the written word, something I don't dare to confess to have.

Also, I hate that I have fallen victim to "bro".

Seriously bro, I hate it.

Something I was getting a little sick of, and am quite frankly RELIEVED that it has declined in usage... was using EPIC as an adjective for Every. ****ing. Thing.

Eating a sixteen ounce sirloin is not epic. Eating a 72 ounce steak is. I don't want to hear about how epic your meal was when it was clearly NOT epic.


And don't even get me started on Epic Fail.


Faceplanting on the ground because you tripped is not an Epic Fail. That's just a Regular Fail. Perhaps even a Light Fail.

Oh, and calling someone a "legend". No, your mate is not a legend. No, Nigel Farage/Steven Gerrard/Gerard Butler is not a legend.

Gluten Free

Or any nutrition-based marketing phrase.


"Gluten Free" as a diet fad has some small value, but the far greater benefit is attempting to eat fresh natural foods in general (wheat, barley, and rye are, of course, inedible by humans in their natural state) and avoiding the processed ones, which are very likely to contain gluten.

"Gluten Free" is of tremendous importance to a person with celiac disease, such as my teenage son, for whom eating gluten has real and serious consequences.

For people who truly have a gluten problem, the new diet fad is very dangerous because it reduces public awareness of the real problem, even to the point of trivializing it, rather than raising awareness.

http://celiac.org/celiac-disease/what-is-celiac-disease/



I absolutely despise the phrase "it is what it is"


That one used to irritate me, a couple of decades ago when it first came around, but I have grown to like it and even use it myself sometimes when appropriate.

Rather than seeing it as defeatist, I read it as "Time to accept this and move on."

In fact, "from whence" has been gaining in relative popularity. I figure that if "from whence" is good enough for ****ens and Shakespeare, it's good enough for me.

I applaud the good taste and restraint on this forum.

Unless I missed it, and I may have, we are almost onto the 3rd page of this thread without any mention of the dreaded "whatever"


'Whatever' is a response directly contextual to your current level of apathy. I think 'whatever' as an answer is only angering to folks above a certain age threshold, as to younger people it's usually shorthand for 'I don't want to talk about it anymore.'

One that does get annoying is the constant 'like' bombs that kids pepper throughout their spoken sentences. Admittedly I was also guilty of the like-likes when I was a teen as well, so people do grow out of it.


Here are some like likes for continuity:

Last night on TV, I saw a school teacher use the word "strategy" when she meant "tactic". Argh, a teacher should know better!

Shortening "aluminium" to "aluminum" really gets to me.
I think that is mostly a case of British vs. American English ...

I've gotten really annoyed with the word "hence" lately... mainly because my older brother, who has an IQ comparable to that of a well-educated sea urchin, uses it in practically every other sentence, simply because he thinks it makes him sound more intelligent.

I don't have the heart to tell him it makes him sound like more of an idiot. He is my brother, after all...

"sit down with x and go through ..." - it would go faster if we were all standin gup.
"turned around and said ..." - did you turn away from the person to speak, or just spun 360 degrees on the spot before talking?

Idiocy.

I blame this on my exposure to the improper use of the word. Damn siblings, keep your lack of language skills to yourselves!

In light of this realization, I am going to inform my brother of his stupidity, next time it becomes relevant. Thanks Hoff.

"hashtag"

Reason: apparently, at the college level, they are having to explain the difference between a "hashtag" and the pound sign to students.

I would say.. Therefore and Such as   fill more/less the same logical connection when you speak and listen.. even if their written meaning is different.

Therefore,   Because something previously mentioned,  then xxxxx

Such as,     Of something previous mentioned (or that exists), like xxxxx



To me that's similar enough...   I know the rules are rules.. but.. whateves?



I think predominantly,  these common mistakes happen solely BECAUSE the function and behavior of the confused terms are SIMILAR enough such that the brain weighs them equivalently, and Thus, in our synthesizer, it goes through..

I despise when people use the word "peruse" incorrectly.

People say "I'm goint to peruse this news article while my coffee brews."

That is incorrect.

"Peruse" does not me "to skim or browse." It means "to observe and study in depth."

If you were to, in fact, peruse a news article while your coffee brewed, it's quite likely it will be cold by the time you are done.

I really dislike it when people say they are "just so busy" or any iteration there of.

Me: Hey, can you tell me when I'll get the requirements for X
Them: I don't know, I'm just so busy! Just super busy! I'll get back to you later when I'm not so busy.

Only they are always "so  busy" with something or other. It is like people think if they provide an answer other than "I'm so busy" it indicates that they are doing nothing and have no value. But really, when someone tells me they are "too busy" I think of it as a rude brush off, and frankly I don't believe them. If you are really busy, qualify it. "I know I owe you the requirements, but I have to finish up the quarter end reports first, then I need meet with the business to understand what they are looking for. It might be a week." It takes about 10 more seconds to provide someone a decent explanation beyond "I'm busy". It also comes off as much more sincere as opposed to trying to position yourself as so incredibly important with all the unnamed crap you are working on.

In a similar vein, I really don't like office politics.

People who are based out of tumblr who believe they are part squirrel, may or may not be trans gender depending on how they feel, get "triggered" by things such as homeless people, water, cars and the outdoors, believe there is a patriarchal system in place that constantly beats down women, and that all white men should die as a priority because women could carry out the human race on their own.

Also that "positive racism" is a thing, and that if you have a black person and a white person going for the same job, but the white person is more qualified, you should give the job to the black person because they've had less of an opportunity in life.

Otherwise they say something like "I'm a graphic designer, or I'm a painter." Then they go into detail about what types of materials they work with for the next 15mins and how their style is PoMoDecoNeuvoIndustrial but not like anything else that's been done before.

Sculptor, painter, illustrator, carpenter, metal-smith, graphic designer, product designer, industrial designer, draftsman, transportation designer, concept artist, architect etc. are all totally acceptable, pertain to actual (some very lucrative) careers, and I did not intend to discredit what I (my major is industrial design) or anyone else does in art. Design plays an incredibly important role in our world, and I do think highly of it.

However "artist" alone, in general, is too arbitrary to not sound absurd or pretentious. It just lacks any context whatsoever, and holds zero weight.

I hate when words are malformed for some effect that is pointless. For example:

I blame the Saints with the inexplicably stupid "who dat" phrase that has turned into an internet meme. Any case where the English language is malformed to a point where I have to stop and think more about what they're trying to say, rather than what is actually being said infuriates me. I understand that English is a living language, but stuff like "who dat" and "dat [noun] doe" is not something I can stomach.

Dictionaries should be required reading for children.

I hate it when people improperly spell words and phrases, such as per se...

 ???

My bad...

Spell check says both spellings are incorrect, so I just chose one and stuck with it.

Lesson learned.


The reason why it caught per se as incorrect is because per se is Latin.

also, one space after a period.  it's TWO spaces after an end of sentence period.  if you use ONE period, it means that previous word is an abbreviation/truncation of some sort.  eg. Mr. (one space)

This is why you're wrong (http://www.cultofpedagogy.com/two-spaces-after-period/).  Yes, I still do it, but it's not proper typing.  Double spacing after a period is a leftover relic from typewriters and from college kids who think that those extra few spaces will make their paper longer.  Two spaces isn't necessary because one is enough with modern typography, kerning, and spacing to accurately show that there is a large enough gap between the two to properly break sentences.

I still prefer the double space since I think it looks nicer and is easier to read even though it can be a bit much sometimes.  Even so, I know I'm wrong when I do it.

nice try but no dice.



benefits of 2 spaces:

-accounts for the different uses of a period (.end of sentence, .abbr, ... a verbal tonation hint)
-easily text-formattable to show one sentence per line (this is to help certain people with reading disabilities and probably simplifies reading for ESL)
-gives hints for computer parsing

where it wins:
-emails
-student essays
-text to speech (you can teach a computer to 'take a breath' after sentences)



benefits of 1 space:

-looks better when looks matter

where it wins:

-wedding invitations
-posters



final note:

it is EXCEPTIONALLY easy to text-replace 2space with 1space.  the other way around?  not so much (unless: "  mr.[2space]r.[2space]hill " is somehow acceptable).

 they want to get away from shortcut terms like  "correct" gender..

that's not totally un-understandable..


I suppose in the grand scheme, apply precision where it's needed...


So i guess, you're fed up with the zealots who are easily excited/offended ?

Most anything following 'cis__' or 'pan__' or '__kin' or any variation on the word shim, sher, **** whatever.

what?

There arn't that many common words that follow cis that you could possibly be seeing often enough to hate..

All I've ever used were Cisco and Cistern..

The only other Cis- word I know is Cissoid from geometry.


Pan... panorama ? pancakes ? pandemic ? panic ?   what's wrong with pan?

Kin.. pumpkin.. buskin.. napkin.. --skin..



Ur h8 is irrational... 

He's talking about those feminazi's who crap on about that cis-gender rubbish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

I get it's a thing, it doesn't offend me, just shut the **** up.

I'm confused.. I read that first wiki paragraph 4 times.. now.. so cisgender means you - Match the -assigned- gender..

that just means you're normal right?

What are the femanazi's saying about that.
My understanding is were not allowed to say male and female anymore in case we offend transgender people. Load of PC ****in nonsense.

More a dislike, "I know right" always reminds me of a person I met years ago who would say it. So it bugs me slightly in that respect as my memories of them aren't the greatest.

I believe  being Politically-Correct  is objectively good, if you can REMAIN objective..

However,  if the PC-card is pulled emotionally/ triggered by emotion, as may be the case with Nturtle's obnoxious females, then the resolution should be to stop talking to this person, because she has clearly delved into some misguided form of self-affirmation rather than sense..


Still... .. hrmm...  I used to get MAD at these people, but when I think about it.... My own skill in objectivity hadn't always been firm.. and it took a large amount of self learning and awareness to become the Machine I am proud of being..

So perhaps again, here, we could say it's unnecessary to despair the collective which is not-YET on the same track..

Perhaps they will be one day.. or they will die..  either-way that's what you're waiting for is it not ?

wait.  is this verbal or written stuff we're complaining about?

written, I hate:

.  And

also, one space after a period.  it's TWO spaces after an end of sentence period.  if you use ONE period, it means that previous word is an abbreviation/truncation of some sort.  eg. Mr. (one space)

This is why you're wrong (http://www.cultofpedagogy.com/two-spaces-after-period/).  Yes, I still do it, but it's not proper typing.  Double spacing after a period is a leftover relic from typewriters and from college kids who think that those extra few spaces will make their paper longer.  Two spaces isn't necessary because one is enough with modern typography, kerning, and spacing to accurately show that there is a large enough gap between the two to properly break sentences.

I still prefer the double space since I think it looks nicer and is easier to read even though it can be a bit much sometimes.  Even so, I know I'm wrong when I do it.

I had a TA take points off my labs if I double spaced them...  :|  It was obviously pretty easy to adjust and was not the end of the world, but it was odd.

nice try but no dice.

I think it's more a question of what's "proper", not what makes more sense.  So while your points are excellent, and I continue to use double spaces, the "proper"/original way was single spaces. 

/me shrugs.

Most anything following 'cis__' or 'pan__' or '__kin' or any variation on the word shim, sher, **** whatever.

The chemist in me doesn't like cis and trans having negative connotations.  :(
