    Granularity.
    Do you mean more detail?

    Or less, it’s quite a useful word in software development.

    Another vote for going forward, even if it is two words.

    Get angry at the bullshitter.

    You are correct, I just think it’s a crap thing to say. If your calling out bullshit, just call someone a bullshitter.

    It’s usually found in the politics or religion threads so the whole bloody thing is stupid and annoying anyway.

    Wean. As in a Scottish colloquialism for a child.

    Mrs Pinetree and I (both Scottish) have just had our first kid, and my mother-in-law insists on calling him a wean. Does my tits in.

    Perhaps it’s just because I grew up in one of the nicer parts of western Scotland (yes, they exist) but it just sounds properly scummy to me.

    It’s useful to explain why it’s bullshit, otherwise you just sound like a facebook commenter.

    “Fresh Coffee” – I need to know what’s fresh about it? Freshly grown beans? Freshly Roast? Freshly brewed? Freshly wiped my nob on your coffee cup?

    You should try bottle feeding the wean instead.

    “Could of”. Positively hate this and always correct it in my student’s books. Because people don’t seem to get that could’ve is a contraction.

    Words I dislike the mouth-feel of:

    ear-ring

    LOL

    interlocutor

    millefeuille

    Words I dislike the brain-feel of:

    The clutch of neo-Nazi neologisms that 2016 has shat into our common discourse;

    Remoaner, virtue-signalling, snowflake, and any and all variations of getting or taking back control/my country/things being Great Again.

    I’d be best skipping Question Time tonight, I think.

    virtue-signalling, snowflake

    Virtue-signalling! Aaargh. It did have a meaning, once, but now it’s an attempt to turn not being a **** into an insult. Using the term these days is bellend-signalling.

    Snowflake’s more interesting, since it’s so lacking in meaning and impact- it’s just the other person saying “I would like to insult you, but I lack the capacity”. It’s like an IOU for a proper insult.

    Lots of good, rage inducing words so far. I hate when people use acronyms as words OMG especially annoys me. People saying too when they actually mean to. Don’t know if it’s a Yorkshire thing, but I go to (tu) the shop not too (two) the shop. It’s like saying I’m as well the shop.

    I seem to hear this regularly in work, in overheard conversations in public and on TV numerous times a day, often it seems to be nonsensically inserted into conversations and it irritates the hell out of me.

    Thanks for all that information.
    I’m going to pop it on the top shelf of my thought fridge and snack on it later.

    Feel free to circle back to me ASAP.

    Brexit- you don’t need any explaintion why.
    Staycation – it’s lazy, invokes a feeling of cold windy rain strewn desolation.

    Haitch.

    It’s the mispronunciation of the eighth letter of the alphabet, which is neatly found in the dictionary under “aitch”.

    It’s like fingernails down the proverbial blackboard, though conveniently also instantly marks out its user as an imbecile and someone to be avoided. I mean, even those arch manglers of the English language – Americans – manage to get this one right.

    This hands down. Being described as “Jack Haitch” by retards at school really drove it home.
