word i hate most
 
well after talking to a dear friend of mine today ,i was thinking about a specific word that really annoys the bejesus out of me and is used so often for everything that im going to end up in a lunatic asylum if i hear it anymore . The word is AWESOME , now im not against the word at all ,im against the context its used . its used in such cases as my ''burger is awesome '' ,it drives me mad .
Anyway has anyone else got one word or two or even ten , but that is top of my list .:)

Nah, "around" gets my goat as in "we are having a conversation around this or that" and "They had a discussion around the issues". I can cope with around the corner or walking around the block but talking around stuff - just get to the bl**dy point!

i have never heard that one but it does remind me of a very unpopular relative of mine who says ''hospickle '' for ermmmm hospital . it makes me cringe every time .
Another one is ''bab'' .as in alright ''bab'' as spoken in the midlands and my mum used to hate the word ''cack'' ,as in mummy our billy has ''cacked '' his pants .
