Irritating Words/Phrases

[Itsunari 2000]

I can't stand some of the casual buzz-words and tired old phrases I hear nowadays.

Shag, snog," mas-ai", by the way, " man " ... um ... the use of the word " but " and other conjunctions at the end of sentences. Also, Goth, Mosher, Emo, Chav and other stereotypes. I also dislike the words superfluos and high-falluting. Oh, and " crap " - that word is over-used nowadays. Overused for my liking. And what about that phrase " In my day... ", " Back in the day ..." or " Oh, how times sure have changed." And what about the words " cute", " princess" and " grumpy".

And what about when people say " Heads Up ! " when common sense would tell you to duck. It makes absolutely no sense.

What else... funky,trendy, hip,mondo-condo,geezer,six-feet-under, " chick flick " ... oh, and " bourgeouis " ... that makes my blood boil that one.
