One word, or two, that absolutely drives you mad?
Maybe it’s because of the image or memory it evokes.
What is that word, or phrase, that makes you cringe?
Would you like to share what it is and why?

Vehicle… said in a southern American accent. Also glaceirs said in a British accent. I am set in my ways and fee unwanted pressure to change.
Living room SUIT instead of “suite” sounds like sweet !
Blessed.
When someone says “Have a blessed day!” I cringe.
What ever, does it for me can’t stand it when someone pulls it on me.
“Where’s it AT ? ” Every cop on daytime police shows says this.
It’s only a matter of time, probably hours, before someone thinks of combining all the cringe-worthy expressions listed here into one revolting sentence. Or am I just jaded? Maybe I am. I know that when I reveal the location of a button like this, there’s always somebody who can’t wait to push it.
^Jaded.
Totes. I hate that word.
I remember reading somewhere that cellar door sounds beautiful and moist has the ugliest sound. I tend to agree.
@RedDeerGuy1 Ve-hickle….....haha! I know exactly what you mean!
Honestly racist is the word I hate.
Ya’ll already know I was a favorite snack in that gang for several years in my youth, before I knew what it really meant. I fled when I found out, literally left the city so they couldn’t find me.
They almost killed me, among other things, so when people say that word it evokes fear, disgust, and the urge to fight.
Anchovy. I’m highly allergic to that. Hearing someone says that makes me hard to breathe. Unfortunately, it’s a common seafood where I live and have been incorporated in many local dishes.
“Bless your heart” is the pits.
@flutherother When it’s said the nice way, the insulting way, or any way?
“Curate” to mean “I picked out some stuff” or worse, “I clicked on some things on the Internet”. I have actual museum curators in my extended family. Making a list is not curating.
Some words and phrases I hate:
“No offense, but…”
“I’m not racist, but…”
family values
irregardless
literally (to describe something figurative)
bae
wifey
hubby
woke
“Virtually” could mean everything or most.
I cringe quite a bit when people raise the tone of their voice at the end sentence statements like they’re asking a question.
Also after a sentence say, “Right?”
Also the word “amazing” is used far too much.
“Bae”.
People who use “bae” should be punched in the fae.

Uptalking.
Calvin Trillin had a funny New Yorker piece about touring a college campus with his daughter. He wrote something like, “Our guide was Meghan, who introduced herself by asking her name.”
The mispronunciation of nuclear!
Nucular

I will donate 50 dollars to the liberal charity of your choice if you modify the database to give Darth_Algar’s comment 500 great answers.
”....but that’s just me.” (shiver)
No problem.
I should hope not, all I did was order a glass of iced tea and a salad when you said, “My name is Steve and I’ll be your waiter” and asked me, “What can I get for you?”
I really hope it’s not a problem.
Bro.
Pronounced bro but even worse (for my ears) when pronounced bru to rhyme with duh.
Ban and sensor. These two words make me cringe. I hate censorship and ban on freedom of speech and expression. I love to live free.
A sensor feels something whereas a censor does not.
