Words Which Annoy You Intensely

[Efcjake]

So many up here in Scotland. Dya Ken is a weird saying and can only be said properly by the lowest of lowest class.

Even the word Ken being said instead of know is well weird.

Thought it was meant to be an abbreviation of "reckon"?

 

[malfosse]

'Kin Stoke.

 

[john jako]

Thought it was meant to be an abbreviation of "reckon"?

Can be used that way also all. It is said that often up here by them lot it all gets abit confusing. They Ken everything though.

 

[silent bob]

Rustled. Particularly when used incorrectly by people when they think it means the same as "rumbled".

 

[monty]

Phenomenal and kopite for obvious reasons

 

[Gladystweet]

Skinny, as in "skinny coke" or "skinny latte". And my all time least favourite, and quite a new addition to the English language, "to be fair". Gives me migraines when I hear it. You don't have to say it, it just gives me the impression you're not usually fair but on this occasion you feel like being fair. Apologies to anyone who says it, but just stop.

 

[Gladystweet]

"Like I say".....before they've actually said anything.

 

[summerisle]

The current prevalent use of the word eskimo.

 

[royalblue66]

Witsel

 

[Frank Gallagher]

transfer and thread

 

[tommytowne]

Tret.
Hull jargon for "treated"

 

[lancs blue]

imminent - when efc are concerned

 

[blue61]

People who pronounce latte as lartay, annoys me intensely.

 

[summerisle]

Politicians who incessantly spout cliches. Theresa May, 'kowtowing' to the Chinese and insisting that the country is 'open for business'. Up there with :
There are no easy answers
There is no easy solution
Hard working families
The British people
Let me be clear
And my favourite - the fact of the matter is - -

Churchillian it 'ain't.
