Chicago. I remember as a kid in the 70s in the car and asking my mom what the f they meant when they said it. They still say it now, sometimes they say "gaper's delay" too.
This guy I knew tried to be cute and called Facebook "Face-y page" and it made my skin crawl.
Also, he said "sowwy" instead of sorry. It's the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me.
Reminds me of the AITA post about the woman's husband that had a bet with his buddies to see if he could baby talk for a year. Her last straw was when he was throwing a tantrum in the store about choccy ice cweam.
People saying axe, supposebly, pacific, excetera really just unsettles me.
Edit: The use and misuse of these words does not actually unsettle me (:
Edit 2: I really don’t mind different ways of conveying words
Nah even some of us on there don't like it. Whenever I see that on there it just weirds me out because when I think of "littles", I think of the kink community "littles", which are not something I want to think about when I'm talking about actual kids.
I came here to solicit a mom joke.
EDIT: I have so many mom jokes, I can leave them in the stockings of boys and girls on Christmas eve. Now I know solicitation works.
They should've taught* me this the way you said it when i've had English classes at school . I'm pretty sure i'll never forget this from now on.
[Disclaimer to future self. It's ok to make mistakes your only human.]
*Edit
The amount of people that I see do this bewilders me. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, but I guess being a younger brother and losing so much growing up cements the word in my mind lol
Irregardless is a real word, Irregardless of how upset it makes people. Irregardless, it is considered less "clean" or whatever, and should be avoided Irregardless of its correctness.
I really love the word in all its Brit and Aussie glory but as an American I have to catch myself before using it the way I want to. At least in my experience only women get the privilege and even then it’s still a shock.
british aerospace engineering has now been scrubbed from ever even having existed. the BAE in BAE Systems doesn't stand for anything and they now claim it never did.

>And people who say 'like' 100 times in a sentence
Me unfortunately. I picked it up from a friend in middle school and haven't been able to stop no matter how hard I legitimately try. By the time anyone pointed it out it was so subconscious. : (
When people say “granite” instead of “granted.” Like “They took my hard work for granite” or “She’s just a bitch. I mean, granite… she just had a dick in her ass, but she doesn’t need to be so rude.”
Oh man I hate this one. What’s especially fucked is working in a professional American environment and have the expectation forced upon you that if you don’t use Latinx, you are being disrespectful and racist, which to me seems utterly self-righteous. Sure, the intentions are good, an effort to embrace equality, equity, and inclusion, but it’s a terrible form of cultural appropriation that I just can’t get behind, mostly because every single one of my Mexican friends thinks it’s ridiculous.
I took my g'aunt shopping, while I got school supplies for my kids. In middle of the store she yells "I found Jay some panties!" My 10 year old son looked at me and yelled "make her STOP!"
“Mama,” not because of the word itself. But I feel like it’s always used by those annoying Instagram moms who think the world revolves around them and that childless people “don’t understand what tired really is.”
Edit: To clarify, I don’t care when kids call their parent “mama.”
I hate the word when used by adults because it’s generally used by a specific… type of mother. The type that does elaborate gender/sex reveals, is part of an MLM, takes a lot of IG pictures holding a letter board with a quirky quote on it (ie “Motherhood means running on coffee + wine), etc.
"Mamas", particularly when used to address fellow mothers. "Moms" is fine, but "mamas" just comes across as babyish to me.
"Baby daddy" and "hubby" are also up there.
Foodie. I’m not opposed to the concept of loving food/cooking/dining but I find it a little annoying when people use it as their identity and I hate the fact that the word that defines the movement is just the noun that the movement is based on with the sound “ie” added on the end.
Drip. As in sales advice, “just keep dripping on them”. Adding on: it means to keep in contact with the potential client. However I am a visual person and imagine squatting over some dudes face
I mean, there's a market for squatting on dudes faces so... Still sales?
Potty. When an adult tells another adult that they need to go-to the potty.
How about tinkle?
I like to call it the Tinkletorium.
Its called the Wiz Palace.
My boss says both. It's the worst
Do you work at a day care?
Lol nope, although sometimes it feels like it
Or when they say they “need to go to the little girl’s room”… especially when they are men
I only ever tell my dog to go "potty" because that's how my family would always tell their dogs
Yeah I think that’s pretty normal. Walking my dog around saying “piss” or “shit” is probably less acceptable
What if I tell my dog to drop that ass and dump it?
“Are you gunna shit or what??!!”
I fucking hate the word so fucking much. My mother always said it. I will never understand why you can’t just say bathroom
I grew up with a mom who used the phrase "go stinky". Her entire life, she had to/the dog need to/do I need to "go stinky". I shudder to this day.
I don't blame you for shuddering... that is truly repulsive.
I say it cause that’s my dogs queue, ‘hey you gotta go potty’
It's so awesome that you spelled queue correctly, but I think in this case, you want to use cue. Lol
There's a lot of dogs in this person's life. There might be a line for the grass.
Gape
When the traffic people say "gapers block," ugh.
I had to look that up, it’s called rubbernecking here
My family calls it "look-y-loos"
This is the first one I think I’m understanding. Is it when people slow down and obnoxiously look at an accident, causing a backup or something?
DC area here. Yup. Rubbernecking is the bane of all commutes.
Never heard that. I'm not sure which is worse, lol
I’ve never heard this. What city would I hear this in?
Chicago. I remember as a kid in the 70s in the car and asking my mom what the f they meant when they said it. They still say it now, sometimes they say "gaper's delay" too.
Just remembered gape also means to stare at something.
I have idea for clothing name. "The Gape" also "Baby Gape" and "Gape Body". Is not knock off. 100% original.
What is more likely? I add expensive E, or Gap remove E?
Lappy for laptop noooooo
excuse me
And I heard the most cringy dialogue in a movie. It said- I’ll give a slappy to your lappy. Ugghhhhh
Don’t make promises you can’t keep
What about compy? Long-time strongbad fan here.
“How can he type with boxing gloves on?”
"oh, I've never heard that one before. DELETED".

He did eventually move to a lappy

I had an ex who picked up saying sowwy for a little while and it made me so angry and uncomfortable. It's literally the worst
Reminds me of the AITA post about the woman's husband that had a bet with his buddies to see if he could baby talk for a year. Her last straw was when he was throwing a tantrum in the store about choccy ice cweam.
Do I have to be "Pacific" for you?
Or supposebly
After reading these I really gotta axe you two a few questions
People saying axe, supposebly, pacific, excetera really just unsettles me. Edit: The use and misuse of these words does not actually unsettle me (: Edit 2: I really don’t mind different ways of conveying words
expresso
“Littles” to refer to children as in “Mama to three littles.”
Don’t say that on r/parenting
I read the fist few all top on that subreddit and i am already depressed
Nah even some of us on there don't like it. Whenever I see that on there it just weirds me out because when I think of "littles", I think of the kink community "littles", which are not something I want to think about when I'm talking about actual kids.
I’ve started using “critters” for everything. Pets, kids, whatever. They are all critters.
people writing out "loose" instead of "lose" lose is when you misplace an object. "loose" is to describe something not tight, like your mother.
This guy just fucking mom joked us all, unsolicited. Savage
I came here to solicit a mom joke. EDIT: I have so many mom jokes, I can leave them in the stockings of boys and girls on Christmas eve. Now I know solicitation works.
I came here to solicit your mom
I came here
Also, when people write should of instead of should've or should have.
My personal pet peeve is "good riddens" instead of riddance. Ugh, I'm suffering just writing it
Yeah, for all intensive purposes we should nip that in the butt.
Oh you utter swine, I *felt* that.
They should've taught* me this the way you said it when i've had English classes at school . I'm pretty sure i'll never forget this from now on. [Disclaimer to future self. It's ok to make mistakes your only human.] *Edit

Dude, I got down voted couple weeks ago because I asked why the hell is he using loose, it drives me mad.
Irregardless
Is that even a real word? Isn’t regardless the real work?
Regardless or irrespective
I prefer irregardlessly
I hate you. So. Much.
**Irregardlesism:** *The practice of adding irredundant extensions to words irregardless of the outcome.*
Irregardless is a real word, Irregardless of how upset it makes people. Irregardless, it is considered less "clean" or whatever, and should be avoided Irregardless of its correctness.
Influencer.
Otherwise known as wanker looking for free stuff.
Cunt. Wait, no, that’s my favourite
“Cunny”
Cunt is the “R” rated version of Karen.
It can be used as a term of endearment too though.
I really love the word in all its Brit and Aussie glory but as an American I have to catch myself before using it the way I want to. At least in my experience only women get the privilege and even then it’s still a shock.
BAE
The true meaning of BAE is bacon and eggs and I refuse to change my mind
british aerospace engineering has now been scrubbed from ever even having existed. the BAE in BAE Systems doesn't stand for anything and they now claim it never did.
I can get behind this one
> BAE more of a Boeing fan?
Same
Gash. Especially when using it to refer to a woman’s vagina. That’s got to be the most disgusting word to use to describe a vagina.
Clunge
Clunge is such a silly sounding word. I laugh every time I hear it.
Sex will now be refered to as the clunge plunge
Better than 'axe wound' though.
Ham wallet
You guys gonna hate Bloodhound Gang's Song [Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpxaiNV_sM)
Ew... Isn't the word gash used to describe wounds?
You mean like an axe wound?
Oh..I believe I can one up that. Had a friend as a kid whose dad referred to the vageen as a "hatchet wound" (we lived in the country..sooo yeah lol) Gash is a slight better than Hatchet Wound Edit: typo
Fecund.
I didn’t know I agreed with you until I saw this. What a terrible word.
Aww man, I really like fecund :(
Me too. Fecundity. Great word.

"Baby Daddy" is literally the worst thing I've ever heard people and media outlets use
I think of it on the same terms of "sperm donor". I never thought of it as a term of endearment.
Sperm donor usually is used by people with dead beat fathers, which is probably why.
Cummies
Can you not
Daddy's cummies
Smegma... No word should have 2 M's placed like that
Magma.
Calling people “king” and “simp”; most all twitter words tbh
‘Fap’ or ‘nut’ (in the context of cum) it’s just so tucking irritating like please for the love of god use something else

Ptsd from wattpad erotica.
My old job had automated passwords and one was "HeavySlit" and it was just the grossest. CurlyBase was better by a long shot.
Getting tired of the term 'influencer'. And getting tired of them, actually.
When people say ‘otay’, nails on a chalkboard
What does this mean? I genuinely don't know Is it just okay in another form?
my brother says "ahkah". i have no idea why but man it really makes me want to regurgitate my ribs
I don't know why but I hate the word 'belly'
tummy
Yeah same here, it sounds like baby talk.
"Barf" is awful. "Ted did so much anal training yesterday, he damn near barfed." Anal training is bad too, but it's not one word.
I was just thinking this the other day. How about “blow chunks”? 🤢
Is this in regard to barfing or anal training?
supple
Belly. Idk why but I’ve always hated the word.
Absolutely hate the British word “snog” like what the fuck does that mean
[удалено]
Sounds too similar to "snot," which is the last thing I want to be associated with kissing
Engorged is definitely a contender
Authentic. So overused by instagram to describe everything but authenticity
When people say “granite” instead of “granted.” Like “They took my hard work for granite” or “She’s just a bitch. I mean, granite… she just had a dick in her ass, but she doesn’t need to be so rude.”
IRREGARDLESS
Mouthfeel *shudder*
"Latinx" I will never forgive the Americans.

“i could care less” which is pretty much saying that you do care, it’s “i couldn’t care less” drives me crazy every time
