Annoying Words

[Pekka]

I don't think the fluet girl is hot but that pic is actually pretty good.. I really like her hair in it. I wish more girls would have similar type of 70s playboy bunny hairstyles with long hair... even though she doesn't have one.

I like the pair "obviously - idiot". Example:

The sky is purple
Obviously the sky is blue, idiot.
OR
IDIOT.. the sky is blue, obviously.

You see, you have much more usage for this wonderful pair.

i also hate (in dutch) the sentence: omdat het kan (means: because its possible) all the students use it to explain several things:

a)in an argument to explain why we should build a catapult on the balcony and shooting waterballoons at another 'dorm' across the street


b) to explain doing something stupid like building a catapult on the balcony and shooting waterballoons at another 'dorm' across the street (this is pretty funny because i could use it for my statics pratical)

c) to explain why they need to destroy your chair to use the would for building a catapult on the balcony and shooting waterballoons at another 'dorm' across the street

d) to explain to the cops why we build a catapult on the balcony and shot waterballoons at another 'dorm' across the street.

E) to explain why they wake you up at 5 in the morning when you have a big test that day and they just came home totally drunk

I nominate "zeitgeist"

i hate the phrase......."in terms of"
i don't know why.. but when i hear it..
its like fingernails on blackboard.

"quintessential." Ugh. It makes me feel more than a little queasy.

It's very "hoity-toity" (<-another word I hate). Makes one sound like a snob, is up there with "ergo" and "concur"

"Moist."

Disgusting word.

Definitly I believe the most threatening word in the english language is "butter".

i hate word 'dude'...i dont mind 'djude' but seriously 'dude' is like SOOO last millenium...

Dude! I say that all the time, but then I am from Cali. I have called many ppl dude who I probably shouldn't have... Oh, and "that is like soooo last millenium" is so blase

[DeathByTheSword]

blase is another hoity-toity word

[Japher]

only if you spell it with the "é"

[DeathByTheSword]

i häte üsing thé thingiès ön lèttérs likè / ör ¨ ör \ ör ^

Nothing wrong with a good moist prume, though I can see why Boris would prefer butter.

Dude is a great word!!

People actually saying "OMG" as in "OhEmGee", or even worse, pronounced "Omghh".
Not that I can stand "Ohh my god" either, though it's not so bad in written form for some reason.
I guess it's because you can't hear the 14 year old behind it.

Surely you mean passé? If so, I concur.

"So to say". I don´t know whether that´s a valid English phrase, but our female professor (sounds weird, but how else do you say that?) uses it all the time, like twice in a single sentence.
We even had a statistical analysis about this, where we counted no less than 124 "so to say" phrases in a single lecture!

Also my father always orders "juice" at the restaurant. While this will sound pretty usual to most of you, I have to point out that we live in Germany. There is a German word for it and NOBODY else says "juice". Especially since he mixes it with the German fruit words, resulting in such atrocities as "Apfeljuice" or "Pampelmusenjuice"...

Native English speakers shouldn't use French words anyway doesn't work

Except entrepreneur of course

[Immortal Wombat]

I know what blasé means. Every instance in that definition refers to a person or a person's attitude, rather than a phrase. How can a phrase be indifferent?

[Japher]

I agree alva

especially when that person tries to "fake" the accent when they use such words... which is why a lot of ppl hate French Canadians
