A word that you detest

[Della]

I didn't understand "My bad" for awhile. I kept thinking I wasn't hearing something right...what did he say? Oh, I get it now. An apology of sorts. Stupid.

At least you got an apology of sorts, something the younger generation seems to have trouble with. It must hurt their self-esteem.
Last week I got a bill for$1997, from the people doing our home restoration. My insurance company had already sent them $1498, for the total cost excluding the $1000 deductible I had already sent. So I called and was connected to Jennifer in accounting who, after trying to convince me I needed to pay that, finally realized something didn't add up and said she thought she knew what had happened and would call back. A few minutes later the phone rang and I hear her excited vocal fry saying, "I was right!" She went on and on about how right she had been and even repeated, "I'm so proud of myself for getting it right." I never did get an apology.

I have two to offer:
1. "Like" - Not the word per se, but how young people today say it in every sentence. "I like went to the store today. I needed a new pair of socks, so I like checked out a dozen different ones, and ended up buying like 5 pairs."
2. "My ask" - In stead of "my request". "My ask of you is to work an additional hour each day."

A word I detest is "detest" because I really do not detest anything!

Twenty three skido, going juking, feeling groovy, Mama likes mambo. I know these are groups of words, but can't we detest them too? Once I was a young man and, spoke as young men do. Now I'm an old man and love to sing the blues. Mike

Aint !!……or What !!!

Well well well, WELCOME back charry. You have been gone so long I think you need to reintroduce yourself.

Charry: Hi everybody, I'm back.

SF Membership: Where you been Charry?

Charry: Nonya

SF membership: What do you mean nonya? Nonya what?

Charry: Well I could tell you but then I'd have to put all of you on ignore.

Fade to black.

2. "My ask" - In stead of "my request". "My ask of you is to work an additional hour each day."

I've never heard that. Hope I never hear that in real life. Is it just a SoCal thing so far?

I also dislike it when someone writes "noone" instead of "No One," as well as say "Could Of" instead of "Could Have."

Yes. Unfortunately, "of" is not a verb.

Well, actually they aren't saying "Could Of". They're using the contraction for could have..."Could've"

(...and I never heard anyone say "noone" for "no one" before...do people really do that?)

fasttrax …..you are funny……But I like ya …..

 

[dobielvr]

instead of" you're welcome" young people say "no problem"

Or...'no worries'
That ^^^ bugs me.

I also don't like the use of 'basically'...well basically blah blah blah.

 

[Jace]

Detest.....Whatever...shows lack of real concern... commitment of an idea..etc.

(...and I never heard anyone say "noone" for "no one" before...do people really do that?)

Yes, it's true that "could've" sounds like "could of".

But we're talking about writing "could of" — with "of" being the verb. "I could of gone to the store."

(...and I never heard anyone say "noone" for "no one" before...do people really do that?)

No, but in both cases they write it.

Dislike the current metaphoric use of the word "transparent". Think when I hear it that the user "probably isn't".

I Hate the saying…………..”No Way “ !! Or High 5……..

 

[Snow74]

anyone who says WHATEVER when they do not have a proper response…of course MY BAD really is it not more appropriate to say I am sorry I made a mistake…these ones..those ones..you are pointing at them..these those is sufficient…a few more I will think of as soon as I post…oh yea getting to really dislike the word ONESIE

 

[Capt Lightning]

Deplane ! Aghhhhh I detest that one. You do not Deplane, you disembark.

Instead of doing a "high 5", now it's a "fist pump". Hate that too. Oh, sorry...not hate, dislike.

Back at ya. Oh I get in a good one now and then. TTFN.
