Maybe now the evil twins are in power, we can start saying
"It's political incorrectness gone mad"
Words that should be a criminal offence to use Page 3
I don't mind women saying it, but when men say the word 'Loo' that too is cringeworthy.

Agreed. It's not very masculine, is it?
Indiana Jones: I'm about to enter the Temple of Doom, but before going in ... I need to pop to the loo.
"Twat". It's just a horrible, horrible word.
"Bespoke" angers me for some reason. As do ignorant arses who say "skellington" . And "chimbley" instead of "chimney".
The worst though is "arks" instead of "ask". Especially when coming from a white London teenager's gob. The capital's black community at least have an excuse - it apparently stems from way back when slaves from the Congo were used, and in their language words ending with "sk" were alien to them, so the s and k was subverted and it just stuck. Although that presumably also means they'd pronounce "disc" as "dicks". But anyway.

I had asimilar problem with 'basically'.
Oh and "apropos of nothing". I hate that. As well as sounding incredibly-wanky, it basically means "Oh by the way, I'm about to make a worthless statement based on f**k all."
Great, thanks.

My nephew used to say 'skellybones' for skeleton when he was little. I like that word, it's a bit BFG.
I generally dislike abbreviations used by people trying to look like they're knowledgeable about a subject.
I like the word 'twat'. It's nice and spitty. Flowery Twats.

Around here people (including my Mum) say Miggle, puggle, kook and doo wer - Instead of middle, puddle, cook (pronounced cuck) and door.
Also I despise when people say I brought a new DVD today. Instead of I bought a new DVD today.
I use basically and 'At the end of the day' way too much.

It's sheer laziness.
I say loads of these!
I'll just go and kill myself.
Snog. Horrible word that shouldn't be used after the age of twelve.

Also awful. I just think they sound so derogatory, and they're always used as such insults when a name for *that* shouldn't be. I know it happens with names for men bits too, but "dick" or whatever doesn't seem quite so damning.
