I have two.

Teh, which I at first thought was a simple spelling error, but now seems to be growing in popularity.

And my second is duh. Duh was an often used line in a show I'm ashamed to admit I did see some of, Full House, a wretched family show. The term was in large part, I believe, popularized by the use of it by those twins. I don't care if they may be hot now, they weren't then. It was a stupid show, and the line became old fast. I hate duh, I really hate it.
 
I hate "pop" when used to describe fizzy drinks, and "tinkle" when used to describe anything other than the sound of broken glass hitting the ground.

I also hate the majority of internet/sms abbreviations, but particularly "u" and "ur".

And weather/whether, they're/their/there corruptions wind me up too.

Actually, there's quite a lot that I hate!
 
The word 'conversation' has just too many syllables for such a simple meaning...its over complicating the thing...

i hate it when people say 'owned' when someone has got the better of you, it's invariable used when the opposidte it true and they want to save face...

Ha! You got owned!

Talentless is t3h duh!
 
"My bad!"

People who say this instead of "I made a mistake" deserve a severe punch to their crotch.
 
Or people who add Z's to just about any word also deserve a punch in the crotch.
 
I hate all that L337 crap that I always see Counterstrike players using. Why the **** can't they just typing in ****ing english?

I hate there/they're/their because I tend to type too fast and use the wrong one. :)

I hate when people use the word 'Reckon'.
ex: "I reckon ya'll are goin' to need a new truck."
It just sounds dumb. :lol:

Especially when it's pronounced "nor-shuss". It's OK when pronounced "nor-ze-yuss".

I think that might just be me though!
 
Tensor, Quaternian, Flux, Maxwell, Inductance, Diode, Solenoid, Kirchoff, and the phrase "Thevenin equivalent".

There are a bunch more, but those will do for now.

The first two I hate because I should know them really well and I don't. The rest of them just piss me off.


...and yet, in a way I love them all :)
 
I totally forgot impedance!

I hate that word. It means I need to run away from the conversation screaming.
 
oh, and cyclic loading, fast fracture, and crack growth.

Because they all mean your plane is going to fall out of the sky.



...ok I'll stop spamming. This is fun though.


Income tax.


That's it. I'm done.
 
Urgent....

Seriously, people say it to me all the time, "this is urgent"... to whom? and in what context? I mean good grief everything we do in this office is, in the grander scheme, largely irrelevant but the state people get in to over it all.... and Urgent seems to be their mantra.
 
More annoying than any paticular word is the way they are sometimes expressed. I hate uneccesary drama.
 
This isn't really a word as such, but when people begin a sentence with "Just FYI..." I begin appreciating how stupid they are so intensely that I usually miss what was supposedly "for my information".

I also hate it when people pronounce a statement like question when it's not. It tells me they are weak and unconfident.

And I have to mention when people ask questions in the past tense for no apparent reason. For instance, instead of asking "would you like water?" they will say, "did you want water?"
 
I really like everyone's suggestsions.

here are some more irritating words and phrases:

remit - unncessary word
lack of a good gender neutral pronoun for a single person
all's
I agree with milefile about whatnot
unnatural - nothing is unnatural
health care provider
harassment (pronouced hair-es-ment) - I hate that pronunciation it's pronounced Ha rass ment
administrative or executive assistant (should be secretary)
horrible pronounced harrible
often with the t pronounced
action item - bugs the crap out of me
eclectic
yonder
hitched (meaning married)
HDD Failure
supper - just personal preference
