    "Straight."

    I have a friend whom if they are upset or happy, they'll refer to them as "being straight."

    I hate it.

    I don't get the relavance, KevinmH9. To me, your friend's use of the word makes no sense. Can you explain?

    The post above about intentionally misspelled words could have been written by me.
    Kewl! Ugh.
    Sawx! Ugh.
    Rawx! Ugh!
    Sammich! Really? C'mon.

    I could go on and on.

    As for actual words, well, shit, I could be here all day.

    I'll stand up in defense of sammich. One of my favorite words, actually. Deal with it!!! :)

    That said, I say so many annoying words that it'd be silly for me to list ones that annoy me.

    Hey, because they annoy me doesn't mean they have to annoy you. I don't expect the world to operate by my dictionary.
    Everyone has the option to make themselves sound like a dumbass. Totally their call. I'm cool with that.

    Damn. Even the smiley faces don't work these days. This place is doomed.

    This is actually a phrase ... but ...

    "Keeping the position dark."

    My prior shop's latest euphemism for a hiring freeze.

    The phrase "it is what it is".

    Translation: "I'm too lazy or dumb to talk about or analyse the situation".

    Whatever is annoying. That's why I've made a decision to go with "Whatevs." I say it roughly 4,284 times a day.

    Whatevs is 4,284 times more annoying than whatever.

    "Needless to say," it "goes without saying."

    Whatever at the end of an argument usually means "I don't have a good response so F**K You"

    I don't like it when people say, "I'll be honest with you" it means they were being honest before.
