People saying 'whatever' in a derogative manner, because they cannot articulate a more valuable response - like 'hmmm ... let me ponder on that thought' or 'pancake-Knows' [shudder].
When the word 'like' is every other word in some people's sentences.

I'm going to drive people crazy saying 'dude' when I'm in GA.
'I could care less' drives me absolutely batty. How much less could you care?
I want a refund. My life didn't come with an owner's manual.
Ulysses

Oh god ... my dad says 'dude' all the time too. Bless him.
I don't hear the term 'I could care less' ... sounds almost as bad as 'whatever' to me though.

Why do socks really disappear? Spooky that there is still no real answer for it ... despite numerous suggestions ... [shudder]

Man, I miss the microphone on my old computer. Then I'd share the nerve grating howl of two cats who want their dinner NOW!

"like" has deffinately stuck around here in California. It's nausiating. My dad always says, "Groovy".
Ulysses
03-24-2005, 07:02 AM
I love the word 'groovy' myself. Has a positive and humerous tone to it ... despite being un-cool today. At least people no longer say 'cowabunga' or 'bo selecta'.

incidentally, the sound of my alarm clock makes me cringe. Granted, I won't be hearing it today because it won't be going off for another hour and I'm already up.
the other thing that makes me cringe is any mention of that dirty four-letter word s-n-o-w. <shudder>

Devil children.
The ONE thing that makes me cringe the most... is when people bite their nails... that sound, just makes me quivver!!! and my bf does it ALL the time... and it's not just one bite, once he's got a good piece, he'll bit THAT up in LITTLE pieces... UGHHHHh can't handle that sound.
AND when we get 5 inches of snow in spring!

gum chewers. oh, and the word 'irregardless'
IT'S NOT A FRIGGIN' WORD. YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO SOUND SMART.
Oh! Here's my ultimate... I CAN'T watch people brush they're teeth. I can't even look in the mirror when I brush my own teeth. The result is a mix between cringing and gagging.
Also...the waxy squeek while chewing green beans. Makes my eyeballs quiver.
Also...yogurt. I love yogurt. I just can't swallow it. Again with the gag reflexes. I can drink it from a straw however.
Ulysses
03-24-2005, 08:25 PM

1. Bush election stickers
2. Large SUV's with Bush Stickers
3. The word Jesus and Christian (I lived in the Bible Belt)
4. The sound styrofoam makes when you rub your finger on it...
5. Ripping fabric
6. My best friends ex girlfriend
7. The catbox
That's the order of most gringe too.

I can't stand raw tomatoes. It's the texture... sort of hard on the outside and pulpy on the inside... the sensation of trying to swallow tomatoes is like reverse-throwing-up.
Tomatoes are not finished until they have been made into some sort of sauce or ketchup.

I cannot even think about anyone licking wool, or any absorbant material on the tongue. It started out as those wooden lolly sticks, once they touch the tongue I can't stand it.
I've seriously cringed all the way through typing this!

Ulysses
03-24-2005, 08:43 PM
It must be an american thing ... then again, I'm also no fan of G. W. Bush's speeches. They just lack something in my opinion.
what about chewing on wool? With your front teeth! Does that make you cringe?
It makes ME cringe...
Ulysses
03-24-2005, 09:22 PM
I've never done it ... and amazingly, the very thought of it actually did make me cringe [cringe].
Just reading about things making people cringe.....
....makes me cringe.
I'd hate for a co-worker to walk into my office while I am reading this thread, I'm making the most discusting face.

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
