What's your most hated word?

I can't think of a favorite word but I know the word I hate most is "amazing". I think this came about from watching too many episodes of "The Bachelor". Every week the people would keep using this word about each other, when in fact they were really quite ordinary.

Now that juggler that Rick found, that was amazing.

Not a single word, but combinations of two words, can be devastating.

'Pay' and 'cut'. Absolutely filthy.

'Job' - another disgusting use of the English language.

If I hear a sentence combining thes three words, I may start saving up for a Kevorkian machine, although possibly with reduced funds.

Another two relatively mild-mannered words, whose combination can be dreadful is 'State' and 'dry'. Just seeing them on the same page in reverse order like that has brought me out in a rash.

How about "leverage" used as a verb? That never fails to make me cringe.

I hate "really"when it is used as a complete sentence (not as a question but as a statement) Especially if it's pronounced "rilly".

I frequently say "No, I just made it up" in response to someone who resorts to that reply. Sometimes I cross my eyes too, which is something I'm peculiarly gifted at. Someone I know hates that almost as much as I hate "rilly".

Abuse of the word "classic". It doesn't mean 'good', look up the meaning if you don't believe me.

Momentarily kills me. It means "FOR a moment", not "IN a moment." It doesn't sound authoritarian and formal when you make a speech with momentarily in it, it makes you sound like you don't know how to use the word.

And let's see, what else? Misuse of practically, virtually, technically, literally, etc...

Fortunately, they don't qualify; "most hated word"...

That's a whole other level of annoying.

Don't start me on mispronounciation of English words. There's a whole heap of bitterness there, believe me. Remember, I live close enough to Boston to drive in and pahk my ka.

having a Bostonian ask you for a fork or a cork is entertaining as well.

Momentarily kills me. It means "FOR a moment", not "IN a moment."

A lady that I used to work with was on a flight from Sydney to Chicago, and the pilot got on the intercom and told the passengers that they'd be taking off momemtarily. She turned to the lady sitting next to her and said "I hope not!" :baby:

Ah, nuance is everything. You miss the crucial Yankee 'wuah' that must replace all soft O's, especially if followed by an R.

Nuance, hell. It sounds just like ****. You're pronouncing it like a New Yawkah.
