Five Most Annoying Words for 2017; No Offense But I Disagree ...

"I'm Offended" :mad: whenever I hear a guy say that I just want to drop kick him right in his vagina.

Another phrase which I loath but am forced to use to avoid being held in contempt is "With all due respect your honor......." Which loosely translates into YOU ARE WRONG, SO WRONG THAT MY BRAIN JUST COMMITTED SUICIDE LISTENING TO YOUR FLAWED REASONING. YOU SHOULD WALK OUT BACK AND JUMP INTO THE BAYOU."

I thought about posting this one, but my blood boils on the topic so I let it go. Thanks for bringing it to the fore.

An organization I belong to recently published an anthology of stories I've been working on as editor for more than two years.

I got the "I'm offended by (pick a topic)" from several of the organization's board of directors about words or phrases I did not edit out of folks' stories. Finally one day I lost it and said, "I think folks in our country are looking for things about which to be offended. It's tearing our country apart!"

Silence! The right answer.

The long version is below. The 5 Most Annoying Words, per Marist College are:

Whatever
Fake News
No offense, but ...
Literally
You know what I mean ...

These are just not that annoying to me.

Sometimes you just need to say "whatever" to end a meaningless conversation. (Just watch, some real wise guy will post that word in this thread! :D)

"Fake News" is probably hated most by the journalists who practice it on a daily basis.

"No offense, but ..." does seem a little like weasel words, but I use it sometimes when contradicting someone on the internet. What else could you say? "Not trying to start a fight but ..." ?

I'll bet the great minds of this Forum can come up with a better Five Most Annoying Words List.


---------------------------------
The shoulder-shrugging reply "Whatever" continues to annoy Americans more than other words or phrases, but "fake news" is coming on strong.
The annual Marist College poll of most annoying words and phrases found "whatever" topping the list for the ninth straight year. It was the pick of one-third of poll respondents, who were given five choices.
The recent addition "fake news" was slightly ahead of "no offense, but" for second place, 23 percent to 20 percent. About one in 10 found "literally" to be most grating, as did a similar number for "you know what I mean."
The telephone survey of 1,074 adults conducted Nov. 6-9 has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

"It is what it is" is starting to become slightly irritating.

Quit saying "African American". Its just stupid. I know a few white American citizens born in Africa. I know a lot more black Americans that have never been to Africa. Is a black guy that was born and raised in Africa and has never been to America an African American? Friend of mine refered to someone in Scotland as African American. Then finds out that nobody in the guys family has ever been outside of UK in about 200 years. Not African or American. That whole thing did not turn out too well. I thought it was pretty funny.

Anything Hyphenated-American. Which is one reason WHY-I use: Confederate-American.

I kinda like when they come out with "new and improved" stuff. The prices on "old and obsolete" drop, sometimes drastically.
Like my Garmin GPS watch. They came out with "new and improved" and I was able to get last years "old and obsolete" model for about 1/4 the price and it suites me just fine.
