Pet hate

I quite agree sodapop, it irritates me too.

It's like libary and Febuary, both of which have me shouting at the TV or radio!

mispronounciation

Glass houses?

My pet hate is when people say “passed away/passed” instead of died. We seem terrified to say that someone is dead but passed away doesn’t mean anything. I don’t remember this term ever being used when I was young.

i do remember passed away being used long ago, it seemed more polite, more gentle to the bereaved person.
passed is i think an american equivalent.

You wouldn't like me. I use passed away instead of died.

It’s TURMERIC fgs! What the …. is TUMERIC? 🙄

Oh my, I thought this was thread about what our pets hated, I'm fairly sure my little cavachon boy loathes it when people ask me if she is a poodle.

I use died! I have never used passed which isnt the real word describing death.

As I have said previously one of my pet hates is the mispronounciation of the word Turmeric, so often pronounced tumeric. Today was the worst one yet when on BBC radio 2 it was called chewmerrick grrrr

John Torode does this, it is very irritating.

There is a radio appeal on lately for Cansarh Research....drives me mad

May I just jump in .... I know this is not the same but there are some celebs' laughs that I just can't stand..... eg. Elaine Page (she snorts), Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon (they cackle like a coven of witches) and recently discovered Vernon Kay (now on Radio 2) laughs like he's demented.

Yes, I can remember it being used for years. It doesn't bother me at all. In fact, my MiL passed away on Friday.

Yes, at school our English teacher gave 'pet hates' as an example of a topic for the little talks he wanted us to do to the class.
I thought he meant things our pets hated 😸

(I dreaded having to give a talk but I never had to do it because they were done alphabetically and my initial was never reached. 😊 )

'as the story goes,'
frequently followed by,' I expect I have told you'.

Yes You Have! but it never stops a full recital of a story I have heard many times.

‘And the rest is history’. 😡

'ospidal = Hospital. I remember Bill Nighy commenting, although not being really specific pacific, merely pointing out it's baby talk

My husband as he is prone to do from time to time, gets up the side bar of shame on the DM, whilst snorting with derision, he often asks me who such and such a person is, usually I have no idea, unless it's the ubiquitous Amanda Holden/Katie Price. Then he goes on to further enquire "what does posing up a storm mean?" How the hell should I know" comes my riposte, "all I can say is I'm pretty certain I don't do it well at least, not anymore!"

Pacifically - when they mean specifically, or defiantly instead of definitely.
Although my late dad used to insist that a group of three related things was a triology, not a trilogy, no matter how many times you tried to tell him!

I expect I have told you'.

I’m afraid I’ve often said something like that in the hope that I’ll be interrupted if it is a repeat but people are probably too polite

A crow wakes me most morning sounding just like Alan Carr’s awful laugh.

‘Crate’ instead of ‘create’. Aaargh

I hate it too but I think "tumeric" is an accepted American pronunciation and spelling - a bit like "aluminum" instead of aluminium. It still make me grit my teeth!
