Words You Hate

[DisneyLuv]

I don’t like the word ‘crush’ when it is used to describe feelings for someone. It’s very juvenile, and I prefer to use the term ‘attraction’ or ‘attracted.’

moist is my #1 word I hate

[♥ mizu]

Why. Do. People. Use. 'Le.'

I'm Canadian, and I personally speak a very little bit of French. 'Le' means the.

*le goes on chicken smoothie*

No please. I get that you're trying to be funny but it's cringe. Please.

*eats le grapes* is better for me.. At least you're using it right.

strongly agree, i barely speak coherent french but it still irks me. i always felt weird about this since it's not my first language and i probably shouldn't have an opinion on it, but i'm glad somebody else gets it lol

i don't necessarily hate it, i just feel weird seeing it and it makes reading the rest of the text feel off. i thought using "le" in that way stopped in 2013

I used to hate the word "sure." When people used it in response to me asking them a question, it made me feel like they didn't really care. I don't notice it anymore, but it really used to irk me.

based
A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.

ratio
A term used in comment sections of social media. If you say "ratio" on a post then you get more likes than the original post then you won the ratio. If they said ratio and got more likes then you lose the ratio. When you win a ratio people will reply W but when you lose people with reply L. A ratio can also apply when you make a post and you get more replies than likes then you got ratioed.

the word assignment

I wasn't the best student
usually when my parents said that word, it meant they were gonna check my work and yell at me
so yeah
assignment is linked to some unpleasant memories

Otaku.
It is a derogatory term in my native language so it was really shocking a few years ago when someone told me, happily, 'I'm an otaku!'
Borrowed words evolve in meaning but this one bothers me a lot.

Bias, when used by kpop fans.
'Thats my bias' doesn't sound correct to me.

(Also slightly unrelated I feel slight rage when someone who needed to use an Oxford comma just.. Doesn't. )

"Schedule" I find it hard to pronounce
And those like "doggo". Just say dog, why the unnecessary extra letters
"Bestie" is even worse, in my language means "beast"
