So, this a favorite topic for a few stand up comedians: Dennis Leary and George Carlin are the two that come to mind the quickest. Basically I'd like everyone to come up with a list of words that piss them off to no end for reasons that are beyond your understanding.
I hate:
'eatery' - this is a dumbfuck new invention. I never heard it before I turned 18 (I guess society wants to protect children from this level of stupidity). I believe that an eatery is what hipsters mean by restaurant but just don't want to use the vernacular of the riff raff. I hate this one most of all.
'boutique' - I don't even know what is meant by this one precisely, but it conjures up images of rich women with too much time on their hands primping themselves. You know the type: they have the face and voice of Nancy Pelosi but are addicted to plastic surgery (specifically tummy tucks, and labiaplasty). Maybe I don't like it cuz every old store or restaurant in my neighborhood that I like is either being turned into one of these or an equally useless tanning salon.
I'll come up with others once they occur to me. I look forward to reading about your pet-peeve words too!
