For me it's "tacky".When describing someone's wedding, I just think it's kind of rude, and I cringe every time I hear it! Is there a word that drives you crazy?
Pretty much any word describing the woman's "situation". The worst one is the C word. It makes me throw up in my mouth.
And moist. It just sounds gross.
I really do hate the "P" word as in Pussy Cat, lol... It sounds so dirty to me and I have no idea why.
My hubby always jokes around and says the slang term "Nah-mean". I can't stand it at all!
My Mom always said she thought the ugliest word in the English language is "squat". She maintains that there's just no way to say that word and have it sound pretty or elegant. Hah.
Wedding related: tacky as well. Way over used, IMO.
Platinum. My taste runs in the opposite direction, and this word is a reminder why.
NWR: the C-word for women. Possibly the most grating word in the English language for me.
A friend of mine can't stand literally. Especially when what you are saying doesn't deserve a literally. hehe
Chillaxin. What a stupid combination of words that don't need combining.
Wedding related: tacky and cheap are obvious ones, but I also dislike the term "budget bride" - discounting the Trumps and people like that, everyone has a budget. It's one of those terms that literally means nothing and it annoys the editor in me.
NWR: i want to smack people that say things are "retarded"
The C-word as well. Hate it hate it hate it. And "raunchy".
@ Kittyachi: I've been telling people lately who say retarded that they should replace the word with "leotarded." I say to them, "you don't actually want to compare that object to a person with mental disabilities, right? Why don't you use leotarded instead! What you are trying to say is that the object is stupid/ridiculous, right? Well what on earth looks more stupid or ridiculous on anyone past age 12 than a leotard? Hence, an object is leotarded!"
It usually gets people to think about what they are saying and do something different. But suggesting it doesn't come across as preachy (which I am by nature).
I don't like the "P" word or the word that rhymes with "bittys" and I do not like the word stupid
I agree with the "P" word, the "C" word, and the word moist. For some reason that one throws me off!
Since im hispanic.. ANY spanish curse word.. I hardly like the english ones either but in spanish everything just sounds soo much more vulgar.
OMG: "Price Point" I want to scream when I hear this BS word. "Oh, and its also at a really good price point" EFFING just say "Price" yes, really real things cost a price, not some magical "Price Point" that makes us sound like we're super-rich, and beyond having to ask about the Price of things like meer mortals. Gag.
In the world of economics, there is price point elasticity, but that has little to do when you're trying to talk me into a Pronovias gown, unless you're trying to determine the true price point at which above or below I would or would not be willing to purchase. (For all you Econ nerds-heart!)
oh, and "Circle back."
thats really two words, but i hate it just the same.
I hate the word raunchy, too! And when people say "cat nap" it bothers me...not sure why...
I cannot stand when people say "Irregardless", which is a double negative. Regardless means "having no regard", so Ir-regardless would mean "Not having no regard".....ummmmm, ok....??? When I hear people say that, it just makes me cringe every time!
Many of the others mentioned here bother me also, the C word, P word, and the one that rhymes with bitty....yeah, they bother me a lot too.
Hmm..."crotch" bothers me. It sounds so embarrassing and kinda gross. Also, "bridezilla", of course.
@ Miss Chocolate I'm SOOO with you. I hate the word moist. eck just typing it made me cringe.
I loathe those awful "workplace words" that always seem to crop up after HR has had an annual meeting. "Touch base", "circle back", "next steps" and "action item" all make me want to smack something.
I was at a high school rodeo for my FSIL the other weekend, and the announcer said the same thing EVERY time: "bad luck today" and "bring her home" honestly, EVERY time, it drove me so crazy by the end!!!!
I don't like the word acne or zits, sounds like you are covered in them!
Also, when people don't use the correct word when talking. Like: He don't need that, when they should say: he doesn't need that. I worked with a lady who ALWAYS would say things like that.
I hate when people put extra letters in a word. Like the word "especially". It really urks me to hear "exspecially". Where did you find that "x"?
Maybe I'm just having a totally dense moment... but could someone tell me what foul word rhymes with "bitty"? I've been going through the alphabet trying to find the bad one and I can't! 
Hella and hecka
"That's hella funny."
"She's hecka dumb."
"I'm hella excited."
It bugs me so much when people use those words. IMO it just makes them sound uneducated.
I agree about the corporate buzzwords: "action items," "taking something offline," "low-hanging fruit," "I'll ping you," "touch base," "circle back," "on the same page," "leveraging," "core competencies," "bandwidth," "deliverables," and "solution" are a bunch that come to mind.
Nothing else really bothers me. I can curse like a trucker so I don't mind foul language.
Oh, and twice a year, we have giant company-wide meetings and we always bring this:
I hate when people say "loves it." It sounds grammatically incorrect and stupid to me. Just say "I love it."
"hon". I absolutely hate it when other females, who are not at least in a generation older than me, use this word when talking to me. It makes me feel like the person is talking down to me.
NMR-I really dislike when people say the word retarded in conversation. It paints disabilities in a very negative light.
Wedding related- I don't have a specific word. I just hate when people tell me what I "have" to do or have or who I "have" to invite.
OOOOH! Ok, so that makes sense. Apparently I've stopped counting the letter "T" as part of the alphabet. Whoops!
I hate hate hate (HATE) the word "retarded" when used to call something/someone stupid.
I also really dislike the word panties :)
WR: "Tacky" and "Tradition" There are more descriptive words to substitute for tacky and I wrote a post earlier about how unless you actually fit the "traditional" wedding couple you shouldn't be held to "traditional" values. I hate when it's used to defend a stupid idea: "You should only let your husband raise his glass for the both of you because it's TRADITION."
NWR: Irregardless because it's gramatically incorrect. And a word that has ALWAYS bothered me (for unknown reasons): vulva. Can you make it sound any UGLIER??
Corporate: "Let's put a pin in it..." I thought that was just a line from Bolt but it turns out my boss uses this ALL THE TIME. So annoying!!
I really, really cannot stand the word lube or any of its variations. Jiffy lube makes me cringe.
@danadelphia- love your corporate buzzword bingo! I wish they had a version for silly education lingo.
@danadelphia - GAAAAH. Your post gave me hives.
(And showed me where to put commas. Whoops.)
