As far as ones nobody around me uses but I also can't stand, "mingle" and "oy vey" are irritating.

In Alberta they say "social", short for "social studies", versus everywhere else that calls it "socials". And it isn't irrational. I don't like the word "lift", either. It's an elevator because it changes elevation. What does "lift" mean? Do I take the stairs down? --- lolmodhagomi <cite>zebatov posted [p:900696676] in I really d...
