Everyone has a word that drives them nuts....
Personally mine always has been "probono" That word irritates me for some reason beyond my control....
Lately however, "GUSTO" has taken over....:rolleyes:

Whats your pet peeve word??

Ah or umm when it appears between every other word in a speakers speech I can not concentrate on what they are saying because I am too busy counting how many times they use it or if said speaker says " you know" or " you know what I am saying ? I often tell them if I knew why are you telling me LOL

"disinterested" used when someone means "uninterested". It has caused "disinterested"- a perfectly good word, to lose all of its original meaning.

Words when overused:
"sucks"
"like"
"cool" - admit I use it too much and make myself cringe at times!


Expressions:
- "high-five" (also think the action is lame and why do some girls do a girly high five that is more like an in the air handshake? :rolleyes:)

- "with my luck" or "just my luck" (don't be so **** negative - everyone has good and bad 'luck')

- "quote / unquote" .. with gestures! :rolleyes:


Also, can't stand 'bling.' That just grates my nerves. :p

there's more but that's all I've got right now.

High fives are reserved for crowded areas over dumb stuff. I love to shout high five to someone I am eating dinner with and keep my hand held up for enough time to make em squirm.

I also love it when people say "ya know what im sayin?" twice in every sentence. I say "not really, lets go over it again."

"gay" when used in a negative way.

Example: "That's so gay."

I don't understand how that caught on but I don't like it. Anyone saying gay, homosexual, lesbian, dyke, a racist or sexist expression infront of me get's an arm and a leg chewed off.
