You know, I used to like her a lot until she started with the catchphrase thing. I'm talking about Rachel Ray with her YUM-O and HOW DELISH IS THAT?. It just annoys me to no end when she uses abbreviations then immediately explains the abbreviation. It's redundant. She'll say. "I'm just gonna use a little EVOO, that's Extra Virgin Olive Oil." Or "Hit it with a little S&P. Salt and pepper." I've turned to watching her with the sound down lately.

:smt013 I worked an 800 line for years and whenever I hear "hang on" that just irritates the heck out of me. Hang on, reminds me of that pic of the little kitten holding onto the pull up bar. "Hang on" hang on to what?!?!

My husband is a pizza delivery driver, so he always says when he is leaving, "Driver out!" I hate that, it is so annoying.
Also he says,' I'm serious as a heart attack." That one annoys me more I think.
Also my brother is 22, he loves to say, "your momma" which is real dumb, because he is talking about our mom.

Around here it's 2 words/phrases that irritate me and it's when you finish telling something to somebody and they go "REALLY" or either it's "IMAGINE THAT".
It gets annoying fast.

Okay, my friend's teenage daughter and her friends say this one "Ginormous". That's not a word! It's either gigantic or enormous, they both basically are the same!  |

I just discovered ginormous is what is a Portmanteauhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PortmanteauIPA pronunciation: /pɔːtˈmæntəʊ/ RP, /pɔːrtˈmæntoʊ/ US) is a word or morpheme that fuses two or more words or word parts to give a combined or loaded meaning. A folk usage of portmanteau refers to a word formed by combining both sounds and meanings from two or more words (e.g., spork from spoon and fork, animatronics from animation and electronics, ginormous from gigantic and enormous, or blaxploitation from black and exploitation). Typically, portmanteaux are nonce words or neologisms. Portmanteaux are commonly used in scientific literature for a wide variety of technical words, such as cyborg from cybernetic and organism. |

Cool, Amy. I like "portmanteau."
Here's something that always bothers me. I know a lot of people find it cool, maybe affectionate, but to my ears, it is always degrading, even though it is not meant to be. Any thoughts?
"Significant Other"

The thing that I can't stand to hear is when a man call his wife/girlfriend "My Old Lady" or when a woman calls her /husband/boyfriend "My Old Man". My husband called me that once and was quickly set straight.  I think it is disrespectful and sounds a little on the hick side. Please no offence to anyone if you use these terms.  |

I hate "right on". Uggh, I have several friends who say that regularly. It just seems like a mindless response. I have the "significant other" person dillema regulary, I am not sure what to call him. We are quite a bit older, so "boyfriend" doesn't quite work, husband isn't accurate. At my dad's funeral a few weeks ago my mother chose "special friend" .. which kind of makes me think I am with someone who is slightly mentally handicapped! (but it made me smile when reading the funeral card and obituary, which is better than crying ... knowing her she spent hours over that wording). Sometimes i select "partner" when in person, but if I say that online, I have had several people assume I am gay or sometimes people ask so what kind of business are you in? I am not sure what other word to use ... roomates, bedmates, shacking up?? Sometimes people just say things about "my husband" and we don't correct them unless it is necessary. |

Ha. Thanks for resurrecting this topic, Izz. I like the terms "partner" and/or "spouse," especially in an online context because they don't reveal the gender of either person (assuming you do not use telltale pronouns).
Speaking of pronouns, it drives me insane when people misuse "myself" and "yourself"...as in "If you need help, please contact Jane or myself," or "I'm fine. How about yourself?"

or contact jane and I. it is "me" when a object of a sentence, and "I" only when the subject. I even see highly-educated people use "I" wrong in a sentence. Apparently a whole bunch of people were taught not to use "me" in a sentence. We had a receptionist once who did this constantly. Once I explained it to her, she understood. She just got confused when it was two people. The simple explanation was would you ever say "Please call I back at your earliest convenience?" And she said no!! And I said, it is just as incorrect to say "Please call Joe or I back at your earliest convenience". It was still a hard habit to break, but she did break it (and ha! I didn't notice the topic was old) |
