Modern words that annoy you!

Wha Eva !

"Two times" rather than twice. Even the BBC uses that.

"Hiya" at the start of a message or email.

Someone saying ‘giving you the heads up’.

I'm late 60s and have used At the top of the hour most of my life, it's not modern

Yum!

At primary school in Scotland, we were taught to use had gotten for past tense.

Mom - unless it’s in America.

Super anything .
Missing T out of words drives me insane. Every time my grandsons missed T out of wa-er when they were younger I corrected them. the eldest recently informed me that his school friends thought he was posh because he said water.

The adjective "nice" !!

This is such a poor adjective to describe something beautiful or lovely or gorgeous ..

It is a dull meaningless word.

My opinion !!!!!

I taught in a high school. Some English counties still retain a 3 tier system, First school, Middle school and High school.

Most of the above, but the word that really riles me is haitch for the letter H. It’s aitch!! It seems to be used more and more, or perhaps I’m just listening for it to happen.

Also shorpodist for chiropodists. We don’t say shiropractor.
The chiropodist who looks after our feet says it drives her mad.

I'm also not very keen on 'passed away' although I'm fine with 'passed on' as it implies they've gone to the next life.

The over use of "iconic". Iconic building, iconic restaurant, iconic item of clothing, iconic venue, iconic this, iconic that. Stop saying everything is iconic!!!

To shade someone is so silly and to call someone out is used everywhere

Loads that people have mentioned but also abbreviations like merch, dupe,awks , fam & delish particularly the last one, cringe!!

Nobody fights any more, they battle. Battle never even used to be a verb.

What do My bad and the ick mean?

The words to shade someone is so silly and to call someone out is used all the time

Hollibobs - especially when used by adults - puke

Referring to death as 'passed'. This irritates me intensely. A person doesn't pass, they die!

Couldn't agree more. It makes me cringe, and seems to be increasingly common. ‘Passed away” is as bad.

'Passed' (passed what?) So twee! What's wrong with died?

charliebb Sorry! Same point!

'Passed' (passed what?) So twee! What's wrong with died?

Super excited.

Referring to death as 'passed'. This irritates me intensely. A person doesn't pass, they die!

I think to slay someone is so silly and also to put shade on someone. I can remember years ago when people always called everything brill never heard it for a long time
