Slang words which make me cringe ?

Innit

There used to be a television advertisement for some sort of savings product with high interest where a male voice would say what sounded like

Saving has never BIN so interesting

I winced every time I heard it.

It’s not slang as such, but people saying e.g. November fifth, instead of November the fifth, or ‘the fifth of November’ does irritate me.

Ditto ‘go get’, ‘go see’, etc., instead of ‘go and get’, ‘go and see’, etc.
All very well from Americans - it’s when Brits do it that I want to tell them to talk proper!

Sorry I didn’t see the other thread earlier. My bad for not looking at all the topics!

Don’t mind ’Jabs” at all - but My bad makes me cringe! ……..

A friend when told ‘just a little prick’ when having a vaccination would reply, ‘ you’ve met my husband then’,

grandMattie...or "have you been shot twice ??? "?

JaneJudge.... I can just imagine asking people if they've had their prick yet. Or had a prick , or have they had a double prick or second prick , it even if they know a prick . Yes I know I'm getting carried away. But I loved your answer and humour.?

Very probably MissAdventure ?

"We bad" grannyqueenie

You and me both MissAdventure! ?

I hate ASAP spoken as a word. Really grates!

Can't get used to "my bad" but we have used adjectives as nouns in lots of places for years. The long and short of it /Bitter with the sweet/ the poor/ the brave.....
"My bad" is maybe just too American for me!

Good grief.

Getting an "invite" is one I hate. I also hate the "my bad" saying that people use. I suppose language evolves through popular usage but I don't have to like it!

I hate the word hubby!

I hate the word woke and when someone says my bad.

I dislike "fess up" rather than "confess". The former isn't even any quicker to say!

I say lots of these things.
I must leave an army of seething pedants in my wake.

I don't like the expression "yours" as in "I'll come round to yours later". Why don't they say your house.

Dunno.

I detest the expression telly - it is a television.
Have no objection to the word jab, it isn't an abbreviation.
My bone of contention is obvious - why does everything have to be abbreviated.

Not slang but it seems everyone has to have to have been on a ‘journey’ these days.

A friend of mine told me she’d been ‘vaxxed twice’. I thought she’d had her carpets cleaned!

Bit of a follow on from this post. I don't imagine I'm alone in being irritated by the way our language is changing. I know language does evolve over time, but .... It seems we now don't just live our lives, we 'navigate our way through life'. Thing dont increase, they 'uptick'. That one is my pet hate. Anyone who participates in anything are now 'actors'. I could go on. Is it all intended to make those in the media or big business sound much cleverer than the rest of us?

Not many slang words bother me but a lot of my friends call me hun, hunni, hon, honey etc via text which really makes me cringe ? Not keen on word hubby now I come to think of it……
