Apologies if this has been done before.

No, that makes me want to KILL.

Youngsters. I had a teacher who used to say it all the time, and stress a "guh" sound in the middle.

'Vile', especially when the 'i' is overly emphasised.

A friend of mine can't be in the same room as the word moist.

Fresh.

And spider.

Debt.

Aaarrrgghh!!! (Runs away screaming)

Lol. Not technically a word, but I have met people who say it, out loud. Well, they said it, shortly before I killed them with mind bullets.

Hope you didn't miss.

Degenerative. Terminal. Laddish. Chav. Lager. Football. Veronica.

"Bespoke" annoys me greatly for some reason. But it's mispronunciations that nark me most. Like KLU Klux Klan instead of Ku.

And people who pronounce "et cetera" as "exsetera". Same with "espresso" being pronounced "expresso".

The one I hate most though is "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less". It's not only annoying, it makes no sense whatsoever in the context it's normally used .

Oh and ironically "pronounciation" instead of "pronunciation".

"Fresh", though? Fresh is a nice word, surely. It means new, clean, etc. Fresh. What a lovely word. Fresh. Fresh fresh fresh. Imagine a nice clean spider straight out of the shower, all fresh. Spider-fresh. Fresh-spider. Freshy-freshy-spiders. :D
