What is a word you hate?

[filmfanatic24]

Swag, I've heard it way too much today.

[Joe Norris]

"discharge"

[Oobers]

Mizzou

[filmfanatic24]

Mizzou

I said WORD, not gibberish

[Hoopo]

Amazing.

Just count how many times you hear people describe something as amazing. Really? Amazement? It's apparently a routine thing to be amazed.

Never mind that there are at least twenty suitable replacements for such obvious hyperbole, all of which makes a person seem more intelligent than the slackjaw college girl who quips amazing every thirty seconds.

[WolfShirtSophomore]

Fanatic

[filmfanatic24]

Literally.

Used in a sentence: I literally can't stand WolfShirt

What is worse is when it's pronounced or spelled "ah-mazing".

I also nominate heavenly.

[Joe Norris]

I guess i've been pronouncing it wrong...how do you say amazing or are "uhmayzing" and "ah-mazing" not the same thing?

[Hoopo]

The gross overuse of surreal to describe uncommon things is also annoying me lately.

[qwertyu123]

it's ahmazing that you guise don't like the heavenly school called mizzou, their fans are fanatics and have the swag. Literally.

[Joe Norris]

meh

[Oobers]

Whenever someone thinks it's funny to say "fail" after someone screws up something. Way overused.

[Joe Norris]

SCREWS SOMETHING UP OMG GRAMMAR FAIL

FAIL was fresh for about five months in mid-2008. Not since.

Whoa whoa whoa!

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

[IceHawkE]

physicality

[NoPantsChico]

ath-uh-leticism, or even the correctly-pronounced version.

I hate "agreeance" now even more than I did before since I went to dictionary.com and discovered it's actually a word.

[GardArmighty]

Heard a guy say multiple times that "we have many optionalities" and that we should "consider all optionalities."

That was a new one.

[Sherlock]

Pro-life.

[Hoopo]

physicality

Good one. Horrible word and a pox on sports. Almost always goes with a black athlete.

[Hoopo]

Late, as in "as of late" which sportscasters use so frequently as to make me furious. Try lately, Shakespeare.

[Jhawkz5]

Trickeration.

[Sherlock]

Any word that ever comes out of Dick Vitale's mouth.

[ICThawk]

hate

[lessbigzee]

hate

So over used today that it's meaningless.

[Jhawkz5]

hate

Love

Good one. Horrible word and a pox on sports. Almost always goes with a black athlete.

I watch a ton of hockey, shocking I know, and Brian Engblom has single handedly brought this term into prominance lately and unfortunately it's spreading rapidly throughout the sport and obviously there are very few black atheletes at the NHL level.

"Well spoken" while not a single word is the single biggest sports related term I despise and has a far more racial undertones that term is certainly more used with black atheletes. Too many times it seems like it's used as a euphamism for "doesn't talk like a black guy who never left the hood." Can't remember it ever be used with a non-person of color athelete.

[Jhawkz5]

Purple? or Swag?

[Hoopo]

Today's linguistic irritant is big followed by a second adjective of size, such as "big huge," "big large," and "big giant."

Stop doing this.

[Joe Norris]

I haven't heard that since i was in elementary school I don't think

do adults do that?

if so, it's a big huge disappointment
