    Moist is such a cringeworthy word. I find myself saying it lately just for my friend's hilarious reactions though. "Mmm. This muffin is so moist." "Ugh, I spilled my drink. Now the table's all moist." Gets a reaction every time :roflmao:

    "Like". Although it was pretty cool the first 2,644,700 times I heard it. :dry:

    The entirety of the Dutch language :rolle:

    I kid. :lol: I hate the word "lovely." I simply can't stand it. I guess it's because I've hated people who use it a lot.

    The word "awesome" also makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Too many years of over-use just make it annoying to me now. And all stupid words like "eargasm" need to be abolished from the English language.

    Splurge. Why is that word even allowed? We all know what it sounds like.

    Epic, because it's lost its meaning due to overuse.

    Also, puberty. It's an awkward enough time as it is...couldn't they find a nicer sounding word, at least?

    Faith,

    I can't stand the word itself, or the fact that it is often used to justify baseless belief in something and portrayed as a good thing over evidence or reasonable expectation based upon evidence.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    Has anyone heard of tripe? What the hell is it made of. It sounds like trout mixed with snipe. Is it a fish with a gun?

    Heh, guilty frequent user. (A typical garnish in my conversations about the modern Hollywood product. :badgrin:slight_smile:

    Also reminds me of "detritus", coincidentally another favorite pejorative term.

    Actually, I love the English language (it's my second after gibberish), so there's truly not a lot of words I dislike. Although most terms for nasal discharge summon enough disgust for me to strongly eschew their mention. :eusa_sick

    Language is fun to me. I can't think of many words I outright despise unless they have an offensive connotation.

    I still like it because it's a fantastic descriptor, but people have beaten it to a slime.

    The story of Gilgamesh is epic, the Battle of Stalingrad was epic, the French Revolution was epic. But epic is not some 14 year old boy's sandwich. :lol:

    On a similar note, I think it's fun to use flotsam and jetsam in a pejorative sense.

    Annoying words and phrases used by administrators, politicians, and talking heads on the news:

    Stakeholders (typically used without going into who these people or groups might be)
    'Moving Forward' (As opposed to sideways, or backwards?)
    'The facts on the ground' (As opposed to the facts beneath the ground, or in the sky)

    It was a pretty epic witticism. :wink:

    OMG, I love "flotsam and jetsam". Cute terminology ftw. :icon_bigg

    If we're going to talk annoying phrases, I would mention "We are through the looking glass, people". Huh? Wut? :dry:

    :lol: Fucking love this.

    Hate 'moist'. Sounds frigging awful. And 'damp', 'ironic' (because when you say something's ironic, 99% of the time it doesn't mean what you think it means), 'special' (sounds demeaning), and this loathsome combo: 'literally can't even'.
