Words that annoy you…

“Uni. Are you so lazy you can’t say university?“

OHNOES TEH CONTRACTIONS

Are you so lazy that you can’t type “so lazy that you cannot”? Presumably you always say “photograph”, “television”, “omnibus” etc?

Guesstimate winds me up. It’s either a guess or an estimate.

Colourway.
Price point.

I agree with Bez.

Winningest. **** off.
Juxtapose makes me want to kill people.*

*not really. But I do find it extremely annoying.

“Colourway. Price point.“

A synonym for “colour scheme” actually winds you up? And a concise way of saying “approximate price range which is differentiable and identifiable within an economic market”? You wouldn’t get more annoyed by that phrase?

Traumatic. As in “I’ve had a really traumatic day at work”. Really?

Depends on the person’s profession.

Think Tank

PC or politically correct, just why should you change the way you think just so youre politically correct.

unexpected item in bagging area,its a bloody shelf, not a bagging area.

“Grab”. As in, “Grab a 5mm hex wrench.”

Most of all of the above. But I’ll add Afgan, as a place, military folk talk of tours of duty in Afgan. The country is Afganistan.

“why should you change the way you think just so youre politically correct“

What, why should you stop being racist or sexist or homophobic or whatever? Dunno, can’t think of a good reason. Anyone?

“its a bloody shelf, not a bagging area“

It’s an area where you put things in bags, an action known as bagging. What shall we call this area in which we bag, so as to make it easily identifiable from the shelf on the left where you put your basket whilst scanning your goods? I know, let’s call it “a shelf”.

“Grab”

This is just getting silly now. Is someone going to claim that the word “potato” should never be used because it drives them round the bend?

“The country is Afganistan.“

Technically, you live in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But I’m guessing you contract that.

And, also technically, the country is Afghanistan 😉

To be fair Bez my old mate, I think you’re the only person taking it seriously. 🙂

To be fair, I may not be taking it entirely seriously 😉

To be fair Bez my old mate, I think you’re the only person taking it seriously.

You may not be taking it seriously, but I am. Those words up there are destroying my belief in humanity.

TJ says – the word “moderator” annoys him. * this may not be strictly factually correct.

Oh, I’m definitely taking it partly seriously 🙂

see its a shelf.

“Hun” and “Babes” don’t know why it just grates my gears, got that today from a customer, never met them before.

Chillax, it’s not even a word, don’t know where it came from, but it can go straight back there.

we have a ‘business hub’ at work.

It’s a bloody stationary cupboard you c**k!!!!!

Bez taking things seriously earlier

TJ would like to add “shibboleth” to the list of annoying words.

Extrapolate = turn a stat which may have some relevance into one that has none.

I can’t believe nobody has yet mentioned “literally”.

‘business hub’

😆

I like “bagodrome”.

EVACUATE THE BAGODROME

Column – We all know why.

That is all.

service users, for people who are living in care homes.

service providors for those who provide services for service users,

I am a big fan of colorway.

Fettle and Chapeau can take a running jump…

Extrapolate = turn a stat which may have some relevance into one that has none.

I like to think of it as guess work, as in ‘can we extrapolate the costs’ 🙄

No shortage of grade A lunatics at our place I can tell ya.

and yip that ‘business hub’ is true, as is the ‘information node’

it’s a bloody notice board!!!!!!! 😡

You’re dead to me now.

Sterling work from Bez. Can I get some of what he’s having?

You’re dead to me now.

I should actually probably tell you I am actually an actual ghost. So always have actually been dead to you, actually.

Wooooooooo!
