Ah yoo dizzee blad?

Translation: Are you dizzy, blood?

'Brap' is pretty silly.

I remember reading that 'At the end of the day' is pretty annoying. To some people.

In Internet-land, people overuse the word 'Epic', 'Fail', 'Epic Fail', 'Awesome' and 'First'.

There's no "the British accent/dialect", they've got lots of varieties in England/the UK! So which one is of your liking?
Probably Received Pronunciation, AKA 'posh English accent'.

^I use 'awesome' a lot.. Both online and in real life, lol.
 
Selam aleykum, here's my pet peves words/sentences:

Synergy, brain storm/mind shower, game plan, thinking outside of the box

Also, n00b is not the same as newbie. A newbie is somebody new, but a noob can be an oldtimer. Noob does not refer to the amount of time a person has been on a forum/community/game/whatever. But rather refers to his/her attitude. If a person is not only completely clueless, but also appears reluctant to find out things by himself, and just asks and expects people to explain every last little detail, then that makes him a noob, even if he's already been there for a while.
 
I'm guilty of the "Actually, Hopefully," etc.... I can't love with out it.
 
Greetings,


Yep. In America the first floor is on the ground; in Britain the first floor is the one above that.

Why do we go on confusing each other like this? :D

Peace

Greetings,

Our ground floors are called 'the lobby'
:D

I use the word synergistic all the time -- it actually has alot of good value-- especially with certain antibiotics.. or using alcohol and acetaminophen .. or ASA and coumadin .. I really don't want to be without that word.. or the word augment .. both great..
brainstorming isn't half bad either but I don't see much value to it..
Thinking outside the box, well that is great too.. is it just me?
 
lol, Ms Skye, ur words arent so much annoying, but I think u speak a different language to anyone else on earth:D

Sorry, had to.

Another word is "seriously" when you use it over and over, as such:

"Seriously, I was like, seriously, why aren't you listening to me? Seriously..."
 
^ me too.

Anyway I always say the time like this "I will phone you around fivish..".
 
was conscious of my conversation with my friend today, we each had to catch ourselves using one of those filler statement where an awkward gap moment of silence would usually be.. but I think we all collectively use them to cut down on the (ah ah ah um um ah ah) while you connect your thoughts..

unless your speech is written in advance and you have no questions from the audience you won't be able to help some of them..

Today I have noticed more annoying ones

'I have my plate full at the moment'
'boiler plate'
'this and that'
'You know what I mean'
'honestly', 'I kid you not'
'so you see'
'kinda like' well which is it?

another one of my personal peeves is folks who write lieing for lying.. there is no such word as lieing yet I find folks with PhD's and higher education using it all the time as if no one is spared.. (lied, lying,lies) folks 'there ain't no' such a word as lieing so stop it STOP IT.


anyhow.. thanks for your participation if you have more, I'll be glad of it..

:w:
 
When people say "basically" too much it irks the hek outta me.

Basically this.... Basically that.... Ummm basically blah blah.
 
^I know!!! When in actual fact nothing that they're talking about is so basic!

I picked up a habit of saying "incidently..." and "essentially..." from my physiology lecturer. But the habit only manifests itself when I'm studying physiology.
:hmm: strange huh?
