Slang words that you hate
I'll start.
Hubby
Preggers or prego

Re: Slang words that you hate
Potty (okay not slang but it bothers me when I see grown men and women saying "I'll be right back, I need to go potty." Maybe it's because I'm a teacher and I see parents coddling and using "cute" words for far too long.)
Hella
Dh's friends say schwasted a lot. It is annoying.
my sister just started saying that too
Hubby, preggers, vay-kay (vacation), whatev, da bomb, hella...I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.
finna (as in "when you finna be here?")
I work at a college so we hear a lot of slang.
I find myself more annoyed by misuse of phrases. "I could care less" should be "I COULDN'T care less" etc...
swag (as in swagger)
ugh enough with this damn word already!
I have some more:
bling
stellar (you sound like a 30 year old stoner when you say this)
whatever (because it always reminds me of Clueless)
Preggo
I'm not spaghetti sauce
I can't think of any slang words at the moment (although i'm sure i'll think of a million later) but I HATE when people say things like
Irregardless
Pacific (when you mean Specific)
'Post (as in Supposed)
Yonder or Over Yonder...probably the most annoying in my book!
Girl as in- Hey Girl or even worse giiirrrlllll, you don't even know.
It's ridic.
My kid brother - age 12 - has started saying, "beast".
"That is SO BEAST!"
"Tony Hawk WAS beast."
You get the idea. Annoying.
"like" used as a filler word
Its shocking to hear people speak who are used to using it. It comes out of their mouth every 2-5 seconds. Horrible speech habit.
When people use the word mad to stress something.
Ex: That place was mad cool! (drives me nuts:)
But that's a real word - not slang. I love when my grandmother says it in her south Georgia accent.
retarded and gay when used as insults / synonyms for "stupid."
This!!! Mine isn't a phrase but a word: irregardless. Don't you understand that's a double negative in one word? Also when people try to use words that they don't usually use and they say it wrong. My all time favorite is pacific for specific.
Thank you. This exactly. I consider this grounds to walk away from a conversation.
ETA: That was supposed to quote Heather R's comment on retarded/gay.
I should have read more before I did my post. I said the EXACT same thing.
okay so this isnt slang, but it still bugs the crap out of me...
"we're pregnant" as in a man and woman....no, WE aren't.She is. You both might be "expecting" but you most certainly are not both pregnant...
"Holla!" My co worker is saying this all the time now and its driving me crazy.
"Ain't" I live in Wis and it seems like many in my area have bad grammar, I'm originally from IL and no one used that word...Ain't isn't a word and sounds trashy to me. "I ain't going to put up with that" "I ain't going" How hard is it to say "I'm not..." instead of ain't.
All of these. And I love your doggies
I hate when people start telling a story by saying, "Looky here...". Also when people say, "Do what?" when they mean, "What did you say?" DH is guilty of the latter and it drives me nuts.
