In honor of the day after Shakespeare's 450th birthday, I wanted to make a list of all the words and phrases I've come to hate throughout my lifetime. These words usually come from the internet or pop culture and they, unfortunately, have become a part of the average 25 years old's or younger vocabulary. Now yes, you can call me a hypocrite because I have used some of these words before, some of them I may have used today. However, some of these words/phrases I'll use ironically to make fun of the people who use them or I used them at some point in my life but later grew to despise them.
Also, do I think that you're unintelligent or uneducated if you use any of these words/phrases? Of course not!
Anyways, here's the list.
- Literally (#1 misused word of all time according to me, screw whatever webster's says)
- I can't even (Can't even.... what?)
- I am so done (Done with.... what??)
- Overrated (Oh you don't like something? So it MUST be overrated.....)
- YOLO (duh)
- Swag (duh)
- Twerk (Miley made me hate this word even more)
- Boo (Like dat's mah boo thing)
- Dat (Bastardization of That)
- u mad bro? (Old, overused, stupid)
- ILY (Is that hard to type "I love you"?)
- HBD ( Short for happy birthday... Come on man...)
- Hater (A word to call the people who are honest with you that you disagree with)
- Hipster (Another frequently misused term I think... honestly I'm not even sure what it means anymore)
- Ratchet (When used to describe someone)
- Hashtag (Okay I do use them, but I've grown to hate the sound of the word)
- Selfie (We come up for words for everything....)
- Blog (I used this word about 6 or 7 times today to tell people that I've made one, I'm sorry)
- Emoji (Again, I use em', but I hate the word)
- You's (Northern version of y'all)
NOTE: If I can think of anymore I'll add them later.
Do you have words that make you cringe when you hear/say them? Post them in the comment section below!
