“It Hurts My Soul”: People Share 50 Slang Words They Just Can’t Stand

Yeeeess!! I believe this is a US thing. It’s the exact opposite of what they think they mean

That goes beyond slang, and into the realm of poor grammar.

Another thing people say I hate- 'Edit thanks for the upvotes, I can't believe this got a silver rating!'

Omfg I HATE seeing those headlines!! "You will not believe this amazing cooking hack! This user tells us that we should preheat the oven before putting food in! The internet is losing their minds!"

Half the time the ppl filming are actually the Karen's. Lol. Cause everyone wants that viral clip... they just spot the smallest thing like a lady being annoyed that her order was messed up & she's just trying to get the right order. then all of the sudden they whip out their phone & start calling her a Karen when she's literally not even being rude. But they end up being the Karen because they're the ones antagonizing ppl for no reason!

If it’s REQUIRED, then that’s unreasonable. But what’s wrong with Doggo though

I don't refer to my cat who I love beyond words as my fur baby. She does however believe I am her mother figure since I adopted her as a stray at five weeks old. My husband and I do jokingly refer to each other as mom and dad to her. We are the only parents she has ever known. She is a spoiled inside princess of a cat now.

I can call my dog anything and he still wags his tail.

Using cutesy language like that is like being forced to eat a five pound bag of sugar.

I loved my cats but I knew I wasn't their "parent". More like a caregiver in a human sense and part of their clan family/territory in their cat sense.

My dog knows he was adopted, we had the talk.

Hold up- when I got my cat- she was terrified of the new surroundings…so she would meow for me. Her ‘meow’ sounded like she was calling ‘Mum’ … so I became Mum to her as a name. She knows I respond to that meow

Hubby hates this too, which is why I do it.

I like how the vet clinics here call the pets by their name with then the owner's last name. Makes me chuckle because I don't think of dogs as having last names. "Bubbles McPherson, the dr will see you now".

My Norwegian friend told me that pupper is a Norwegian slang term for boob.

I hate this too. No, you are not dog parents. Your human babies do not have animal siblings. Pets are owned property, very cute and loving property, but still nothing more.

agreed- cant stand those stupid nanes..especially fur baby!

Sorry but you can pry doggo, pubby, and kibby out of my cold dead hands.

When I was a kid, we got a cat, and he bit me, and Mum said, "Don't bite your sister!". It made me imagine her giving birth to him, which weirded me out.

When we went to a new Vet, they asked for the furbaby's birthday and for a second I wasn't sure what they were asking me!

if pets are called fur babys, then human babies should be flesh infants / j

An ex boyfriend used dogbo for dogs and mogbo for cats. A friend sometimes uses dogbert

I am the proud landlord to two fur babies. They is what they are and while I'd never expect anyone else to use that phrase, I'll die before I stop!

Ugh weird

'Doggo' is fine but the rest, most of them make the speaker sound like a child.

I never understood the whole pet parent thing either. I love my dogs more than most of my family, but they are my friends and companions.

Required is wrong on every level...but!!! I couldn't have kids despite it being something I've dreamed of for years, so my lapdogs are the closest things I have, they keep me sane, and I'm not the cutesy wootesy type, but I love them and worry about them more than some people do their actual human children!!! I guess all I'm saying is...perspective

THIS

I have to agree 100% with Doggo. Somehow it just seems negative. Maybe because in my childhood it was "doggies" and kitties. No one says "Kittoes."

I say dog but I type sometimes as doge

Fur baby sounds really really weird, but like, what's wrong with doggo and pupper? I'd never say those words out loud, of course, but I type them a lot.

You may be in the wrong field.

Alongside those examples: "Derp" and "Boi".

Pupper and doggo must be mostly American terms as I have never heard them used other than on the internet or American tv shows/films. Definitely not in common usage in my country. Weird that such colloquialisms are accepted as professional enough to be used by highly trained professionals like vets.

I'm not my cat's parent, I'm his humble servant that is clearly only just adequate at best

It's one letter shorter. Out of a total of 4 letters. How is it helpful? It's one less consonant. Just say the other letter. It's ok. It won't hurt you.

Half the people who use “woke” don’t realize it’s not a new concept. There are examples of it throughout history. Like men supporting women’s suffrage or white people supporting desegregation.

I also agree with this but I guess we don’t get a say on people calling each other what.

hyeughmaghnn

This one I agree with

that’s literally so true, like, literally.

It's like they think people are swarming their page in anticipation for a post and the comments will come flooding in. So funny and odd when they get maybe 1 or 2 people commenting.

I concur! And this goes for any other weird, nonsensical slang perpetuated by that weird Tik Tok robot lady.

It's to let the world know you are passive aggressive

But...what if it is cringe? Do you want me to lie?

Possibly the fact that "ask" is a verb.

I hate 'prolly' for probably

It is!

I hate "drug" as the past tense of "drag". It's DRAGGED! It's a frakking REGULAR VERB FFS!!!

What?? This is funny, it’s Brit/Aust slang. It’s fine

“Ostensibly” mushed with “supposedly?”

this must greatly upset bored panda

I totally love memes starting with no one. It's even better when it's like "Absolutely nobody", "Not even aliens", "not even God", Me:
