Well... sometimes there is.

FURBABY!!!!

It's a creepy mental image and I really dislike hearing adults use babytalk in everyday discourse.  

It might be cute on a four-year-old but those 5 years of age and older should refrain from using the word.

I've never said 'furbaby', but I have to say that baby talk makes me a little crazy.   I don't like words like hubby, veggies, and a score of others.  I don't begrudge others the words they use, however, as  long as they aren't words of bigotry or hatred but I admit that I do cringe a little with the baby talk words.

@chickenbutt  - OMG those are my pet peeves as well! I hate words like veggies, hubby (or hubs), nuke, fridge, sammies (for sandwiches) and "nanners" for bananas. I love the English language and hate to hear it being mangled with silly words. 

Personally, I despise when people say "Chill," or "Calm down." Yeah I'll chill and calm down when I'm good and ready, not when you tell me to!!

Ha!  I swear - I almost included fridge, sammie, and nanner, oh, and taters, but I figured I'd better stop while I was ahead.

Another one I see here is 'frig'.  I just don't get that one at all.  I guess it's just a form of shortening 'fridge' even more but the sound of the word is completely different.   Frig - rhymes with big and has no meaning of which I'm aware.

I hate to hear "the fact of the matter is...".   usually, the person speaking will say that phrase several times before they finish speaking.

  I think "Moving forward" has been done to death.

  Give me a break.

When someone starts EVERY statement with, "So...."

It makes me wince.

"To make a long story short....."

By the time they say that, the story is already too long, and sometimes, they keep going in to detail as they tell the story!

I hate when people (mostly younger people), are talking and they say like this like that every other word is like. Example; Like I went to the store and I like bought a magazine. Like it was a really good read. Its so annoying! I have also always hated when people say whatever!. I find it rude.

I also find another use of "like" annoying: When someone says "l was like" instead of "l said."

My sons:  "I'll figure it out," or "I'm working on it."  Ohhhhhhh.....

I just hate the term "senior moment".    I find it disrespectful.  I know it's supposed to be cute and funny but it's so overused.
