  9. audgy answered: My current least favorite phrase is “no homo”, because my 7th graders are using it. You can love someone of the same sex & not be homosexual.
  10. cagedbirdsing answered: I’ve always hated “pamper.” Pamper = Pampers = diapers = poop. Yuck. I also find “panties” and “pus” horrific.

  20. aclikeslater said: “the hubs”, “hubby”, “wifey”, “funemployment”, “moist”. Both the name AND the concept of babymoons and push presents anger me.
  21. spirallights answered: “Homosexual” is my latest obsession b/c these kids in my class won’t quit saying it. Like no, you are not a 60yo homophobic politician, stop.
  22. shellvetica said: Right now, it’s a tie between hubs/hubby and boyf. Ugh, come on. The phrase “just sayin’” is also creeping in there.
  23. arizonanevada answered: moist
  24. accuratelyawesome said: Totes, hubby/hubs, bestie, vacay (mostly just idiotic abbreviations of words that don’t need abbreviated)
  25. bangingpatchouli answered: And men who say “we’re pregnant”
  26. elbuhocongafas answered: Ugh, ‘preggers’. ‘Hubby’. ‘Babe’. Starting to hate the term ‘vintage chic’.
  27. distractedbyshinyobjects answered: I *hate* it when people say “hysterical” when they mean “hilarious” - they don’t mean the same thing and one has a misogynist etymology.
  28. kannamoochi answered: when people say they have to “vom” - I literally cringe, and not just because of the implications of what they’re saying.
