Are there words or phrases that inexplicably irritate you?

Anastasia Podrabinek

“It’s very annoying when someone finds something” on the Internet. And it’s even worse when people use “your obedient servant” instead of the short word “I”. Like out of modesty. But what kind of modesty can we talk about if instead of one letter you used as many as sixteen for yourself?

Still “smiled” and “bright positive little man.” Brr!

Edele Rea

“The epithet “delicious”, which is applied to everything in a row, is inhumanly annoying. “Delicious summer!”, “Delicious and juicy texts to order”, “Delicious life”. The author immediately appears, who has seven classes of education, a tortured three in the Russian language and a meager vocabulary.

“It is inhumanly annoying when instead of “what” they say “what”. For example: instead of “Ivan said that the meeting was cancelled,” “Ivan said that the meeting was canceled.” Heck, I don’t even know how to properly put a comma in this sentence – it’s just not viable, like a two-headed calf.

I also don’t like it when the text describes how someone is carrying (or holding) something, and, as if for irony, they add “at the ready”. For instance:

“Children rush down the corridor with pencils at the ready”

“Leaving the hospital with a baby at the ready”

“Stand still with the girl at the ready.”

Alexey Filimonov

“It annoys me when they ask “In the sense?”, Meaning “In what sense?”. But most of all I can’t stand it when they use words with diminutive suffixes that mean food: cucumbers, cake, meatballs, cognac, cookies, gulls, sausages, dumplings. At the words “ice cream” and “cake”, a vessel on my forehead swells from blood pressure. Now I’m writing the phrase “eat potatoes with meat or other yummy” and the feeling that a furry caterpillar is crawling inside the stomach to the esophagus: a vile tickle, a harbinger of nausea.

“How is it going?”

“As a young life?”

“Who is the last one?”

“So Yes”

“Good time of the day”

“I’ll pick you up”

“Borrow me” (meaning “lend”)

“It doesn’t matter”

“There is a place to be”

“I hate it”

“Not again, but again”

“Spouse”

“Young lady”

“Home-grown”

“Bread roll”

“I often noticed that when mentioning some living being, object or situation, many people say “for” instead of “pro”: “I speak for Alexander”, “I wanted to talk about your success at school” – what is it! ? Terribly annoying!”

“Vanity of vanities” and “no hesitation.” It’s quite brr, especially when it’s out of place. “Murka” in relation to any cat, even one that is obviously called differently.

And the intentional deformation of nouns just “for humor” infuriates: you apple (instead of an apple), pyzhmak (jacket) and lipisin (orange), tyrkalka and tweety (remote control and pen). I do not know why and why it is so renamed, but these words upset me. After 4-5 years, the excitement of inventing such cripples should have passed.

Lisa Kotova

“In my opinion, there is nothing worse than when a small child is called “lyalka”. For example: “I heard you got married. When are you planning Lyalka? Still enrage positive, negative and creative.

Yulia Kazachenko

“English words that are used with or without cause are enraged:

“cut potatoes into slices”

“Spend the weekend with your boyfriend”

“I made pancakes.”

As well as all sorts of ungodly brushes, tights, snoodies and long sleeves.

Of the expressions, “good time of the day” and “from the word at all” are especially infuriating.

“To the teeth gnashing infuriates when words are distorted for the sake of reduction. Mazik (mayonnaise), milk (dairy products), che-thread. The same story with manifestations of politeness: “thank you” or “thx”, “see you soon”, “kind”, “pleasant”. The morning after this ceases to be good, and the appetite disappears altogether. It seems that a person is too lazy to move his lips for another millisecond, or it is a pity for a breath of air.

Ilia Donchenko

“It’s terribly annoying when they say “extreme” instead of “last”. It’s clear where it came from, it’s understandable (especially in the speech of the military and those who have life-threatening jobs), but it still sounds disgusting. ”

Crey Frey

“It’s terribly infuriating when they confuse “dress” and “put on”. Look around (what is it anyway?). Diminutive. Cute – I just want to slap him in the face. And espresso, of course, along with latte. And also “sex” with such a nasty “e” and krem. Sole. I always correct those who speak such nonsense, I have no strength to endure.

Of the expressions from childhood, I don’t like “family friend”, “for a red word”.

Lida Kravchenko

“We have already talked about diminutive suffixes here, but my favorite is “little man”. Bueeee.

It also pisses me off wildly when the adjective “sexy” is applied to something related to food. You see a beautiful steak on the social network, and there someone writes: “Oh, how sexy!” What?.. Guys, this is food. Well, the reverse situation, when “delicious” refers to the fact that food is not. “The most interesting and delicious topics are waiting for you.” And you think: that’s it.

Danil Kolomeets

“Wait, help, you’ve got a ride, give advice, don’t turn around, they’ve snarked, that is, buy, put on, theirs, flows, he’s here, she, taba, caught, caught, instead, tama, mulberry, here, “Healthy, how it is ?”; “How’s yours?”, they came in large numbers, on the contrary, on vacation, kolidor, got married, live (instead of a particle).

I have been collecting this list of pain for several years.”

Xenia Riabova

“The shy “Can I ask you one question?” Causes hatred. Further: the verb “to jiggle” and pathetic attempts to conjugate it “What are you joking about?”

When men and women over 35 call themselves “boys” and “girls”. And also: vodka, wine, beer, beer, pivchansky, shammpsik, you understand.

“Beloved”, “Beloved”, when it comes to a guy or a girl. “My beloved and I are in Yalta”, “My beloved cooked borscht for me, I love her for it.”

“On call”

“Drop the horn”

“Mobile”

That’s all I wanted to say”.

“There is nothing worse than abbreviations like “cigi” – cigarettes, “vyhi” – weekends and the like. Against this background, even the usual “teacher” and “coll” begin to irritate, with which I myself sin. Inappropriate and incorrect use of “so that” and “for”. By the way, my “which” from the previous sentence someone will probably write down in the same category.

And the most terrible “arrange a romantic” stands separately. I don’t know who first came up with this name for “romantic evening”, which already sounds dubious, but for this person, there is probably a “separate cauldron in hell” with which to complete the list of terrifying phrases.

Nun Evgenia Maria Senchukova

“Treatment and feast. And diminutive, affectionate, especially to food. But in general, these are rather not words, but texts with a special vulgar-lisping mood. A few months ago, Limonov had a completely disgusting text about aunts, and it described one such with narrow thighs (thighs are fried chicken!) And how she ate pork funny, drinking plenty of red wine, which made her nose sweat a little. I even remember it – so disgusting! (I am writing and already distorting).

“It’s very annoying when they ask for something and say: “can you please…”. I can. I can just do everything. Here is your answer. But the person wants me to fulfill the request. “Can you please pour me some more tea?” And I always answer: I can. Ask normally and pour.
