I like "schooled". Do people say that? Well they should.

and i detest the word "irregardless".
yes
"Tragedy" or "tragic" to refer to anything other than a story that fits the classic theatrical tragedy formula.
"serious" when used to mean "large in magnitude"
I think Ronan, mentions it upthread, but "son" as an address at the end of a sentence and "sonned" make my SKIN CRAWL.
i like all of these. except when someone uses "son" without joking and without affection, but 90% of the time i hear it, it's ok. "sonned" is just funny.
"owned" is fine, although it is a bit tired now.
"schooled" is classic.

BETTERN'T IS NOT A WORD

I'm going to adopt that one now. Over the holidays, I came up with the phrase "might could oughta" as in "We might could oughta order the tapenade". I was drunk, but I still realized it was over the line.

Accidental misuse is cool, but when you get in the lift with some bogan who loudly proclaims 'I'd better get one then, bettern't I?' it takes considerable effort to not remove said bogan's spleen.

I hate the word "squat" when used in reference to illegal housing.
Also any word that ends in "-icky": picky, sticky, colicky, garlicky.

"Israel"
Sorry. I just know I'm going to be annoyed in the next couple of minutes as soon as I hear the word on the news or something.
e.g. just now, Bush arrives in Israel (not annoyed yet), couple of images, talk of (haha) peace, but then, short quote by some woman: "our god given homeland! don't give it to the arab enemy!" (DIE! ALL OF YOU! BOTH SIDES! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!)
I have no idea why this happens, I don't know anyone involved on either side personally.
― StanM, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 12:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm going to Israel on the 13th. I'll send your regards, Stan.

It's nothing personal, I think both sides are right, but the whole situation is just so... Man. Humans. Religion. Politics. *shoulders* Pfff.

I really hate the word 'lotion,' it disgusts me. I would not use it for years bcz of this. I have realized it is nice to not have horribly dry skin & overcame this but the word is still uncomfortable.

The American word "math" annoys me beyond all reason
The problem with the plural "maths" is that it kind of suggests that "math" is a shortening of some singular noun called a "mathematic"
― nabisco, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link
We cut out the middleman -- "mathematics" = "math"

"Phenomenal" has got to stop. I remember a few years ago when everything every marketing person said included it. I think it's on the wane but I've heard "phenomenal performance" several times this week and I'm getting nervous.

Especially when the "o" is held too long.
