If i hear the word "EPIC" i swear to fuck i will crack someones skull with my empty wine bottle... Also the word "N00b"... if you use these words please stop, ya sound like a fucking idiot, and i am sure your fist is the only thing you fuck :P
Tell me that word or term that you cannot stand......
PS: and for the smart asses out there like NecroPhile <<sips wine>> does not count :P
such an EPIC post from a NOOB like you sparky. :)
I cant think of any words that bother me or I hate.....only people.
EDIT.....ok I absolutely hate (in this community or ebay) RAREZ, Rare game, HARD TO FIND RARE......ect Its a fucking video game......get over it. The chunks i blew in 6th grade from spegettie when i was sick are now rare.....go buy them!

Know what I'm sayin'?
Know what I mean?
Da phiggidy phat bomb yo
baby
sexy
pussy ( I say vagina, instead )
Dick ( because it is somebodies name, not a body part
Dork ( well I still say dork but everybody forgot about the positive and true negative of the word )
faggot ( a faggot is a over-used penis, or one that resembles a ciggarrete, I hate that word because everybody who uses it, is basically saying ( wuss, wuss, wusssy, wussy ) and little kids use it, because their r-tarded parents )
gay ( I just say non-heterosexual, because gay means happy, ( I am gay your gay, everybody is gay ).
Breasts ( I say nips, ( but then everybody has a problem with nips ) instead, because that is all that needs to be covered up ).
sexting ( becuase calling it AOL just makes more sense ). I remember exchanging pictures back when the internet reached normal people ( poor people ) and this was and is a normal thing, but now because people ( people born in the mid 1990's ) never grewed up without a cell phone, are just soo simple when it comes to computers, ) the internet had millions of images of people sending pictures back and forth. Before myspace, facecraig, etc etc smart phone. All the proffessionals are outter state.
Here are a couple phrases I can't stand:
- humanitarian military intervention (contradiction in terms)
- Constitutional rights (rights are God-given or natually embued, the Constitution only lists some of them)
constitutional amendment
intelligent design
republican primary
killer apps
open relationship
tallboy
shorts
sandals
meme
magical chase
I'm bothered more by the people that whine about terms being used (i.e. - the clowns that burst into tears and/or fly into a rage every time someone types 'shmup'..... for them, I use shmup almost exclusively when talking about shmups).
Oh, you mean Zeta, right? ;)
"Shmup" is logical in that words have been contracted and jammed together since the beginning of time, but it's important to form words that don't make you sound like an idiot when taking such liberties with language. I guess I don't mind seeing it typed - it has two fewer characters than "shooter" - but god help me if someone ever says "shmup" to my face.
Zeta's hardly the only (or even the most vocal) malcontent.
C'mon, there aren't any buzzwords or overused pop-culture gobbledygook that bother you?
Sure, there are plenty of terms that people use that look or sound stupid (verbally saying LOL is one of 'em), but nothing so bad that I want to cut off their head and carry it around in a bowling ball bag. Well.... not more than usual anyway.
I really can't stand hearing people say uberleet.
most of the people doing it don't even know what uber means, and have never played a game, meaning they shouldn't use the word leet.
OMG THIS FROZEN COFFEE IS UBERLEET.
shut the fuck up, twat. It's not uber. It tastes like shit. and it's not leet if you can just fuckin buy it at the counter for 8$

Overuse of fuck, what a waste of a such a potent word. I made a thread about that a year or two ago. Learn to drop the f-bomb wisely, using it every other sentence does not make one sound tough, it makes them look insecure and unimaginative.

133t speak in general
JAP or Jap when describing Japanese games/hardware. Seems to mostly be a EUR thing. It's worse when Jap-users defend its use. Nevermind that it is the exact same as "Nip".
I don't hate it, but I don't like reading SCD used to describe Sega-CD games, since I only ever saw SCD used for Super CD for at least fifteen years straight beforehand.
It hurts my ears when people says "ness" out loud when pronouncing NES or SNES.

All of the above. Though I may be guilty of saying "ness" on occasion. I *think* I say "N.E.S.", but I've honestly never really thought about it. :oops:
I hate S-NESS worse than NESS
Haha! Butt Hurt. I swear, that is in at least every other post on neo-geo.com. :lol:
In total agreement B.T.
On the topic of SNESS. That is another annoying as all hell saying. It is way easier to just say Super Nintendo than saying S.N.E.S.
I also can't stand "tool" and "asshat". People that use those words are tools and asshats themselves. Oops, did that just make me one?

Quote from: Joe Redifer on 04/10/2012, 05:42 AMWTF is an "ego shooter"?
It's probably an European (or even German) only thing and stands for FPS.
Hahaha.. I agree on a lot of these, but there is always the odd time asshat comes in handy :)
Yeah, I don't like "Super Ness", but "Sness" is the worst for me.
I've only ever heard it pronounced like that by people getting into ancient gaming many years after it was current. Talking about "all the Sness games from Super Mario to Zelda!"
I always say/think N-E-S and occasionally Nintendo Entertainment System and normally Super Nintendo with the occasional S-N-E-S.
Something else that has bothered me since bitd is when people call a game system or video games in general "Nintendo" or "Sega". Like, "He's always playing his Sega". It's usually/always the context and the way they form their sentences though. Calling NES stuff "Nintendo" didn't seem unusual until the SNES came around. But the Genesis was always GENESIS! with a tiny little sega hidden nearby. It seamed to me at the time it started, that it was people (mostly adults back then) who had been calling the NES/video games "Nintendo" who started calling the Genesis or games in general "Sega". Because it was noticeable before the screaming "Sega!" ads.

"Robust" is a word thats been tossed around constantly in recent years, especially in the political realm... like every virus it seems to have run its course. One can hope...

BTW I hate it as well.
One thing that really, really pisses me off in writing is when some starts a sentence with "while", like "While the PC Engine may have been an 8-bit console, it was in competition with 16-bit consoles." I see this used all the time in game journalism, it's usually a blatantly obvious point too.
Quote from: Keranu on 04/11/2012, 12:35 AMPolitics has a ton of buzz words. I can't stand "on the table".
This ought to piss you off even more then: in UK English, the phrase has the opposite meaning to the same phrase in US English. when an American says it, we mean 'to give something consideration'; in UK English, it means to remove something from consideration.
For my own contribution: 'going forward' to mean 'in the future'. It's annoying as corpspeak, and it's started to creep into daily usage by some of my friends. ](*,)
I have a problem with "so anyways..." after you were talking about something. Makes it seem like the person doesn't give two shits about what you were talking about.
*waits for it*
I really can't stand the "Oh, is that so?". Doesn't even matter in what language it is used.

"Top notch" and "polished" are also way overused in video game reviews.

Isn't that the point of that slang, to bring a casual tone to a discussion after going into detail about something?
A phrase that makes me uncomfortable when people use it locally is "cheers" in place of thank you. If I was visiting the UK it wouldn't seem weird, but most of the people I hear using it have a North American accent and vocabulary.
"This game is addictive." CORRECT
"This game is addicting." RETARD

ya i use "anyways" a lot <<blush>> mainly to switch to other info or thoughts which usually follows with a meaty run on sentence :P
AND i am with ya on the word "cheers" unless your toasting to my success i dont want to fucking hear it !!!
I unintentionally use anyways a lot too, but I can't stand this trend these days of saying "so..." at the end of a sentence! If the sentence is done with, end it!

In my head I picture various gestures accompanying a sentence-ending "so..." :P
Is that so.
Quote from: Tatsujin on 04/18/2012, 12:24 AMIs that so.
It's different than that, it's more like "I got an F on my math test, so..." Has an obnoxious, smart-ass tone to it.
Similar to another word I've been hearing a lot lately, "Really?". Here's an example (ugggh!) http://youtu.be/7mAHqW65Hdo
Whenever anyone does that I egg them on to complete their thought. So what? Or sometimes I'll just say "soooo...?"
"Really?" doesn't bother me, though. It's an efficient way to communicate that you think that perhaps their efforts could be improved.
Dumb fucks misusing 'literally' is far more annoying than overuse of 'really'.
"My head literally exploded!" ..... one can only hope.
It's not just the overuse of "really" it's the tone of it. Everyone thinks they're a smart ass these days thanks to Wikipedia.
Oh yeah, literally can be annoying too.
Another slang that is becoming popular which I'm not a fan of is "creeper" used as a verb. People talk about "creepers" who are "creepering" them.

Crap. I just heard "creeper" used for the first time yesterday.
i hear every one of these constantly, High school [-(
A couple times recently, I've had female cashiers admit to "brain farts".
Both times I realized how much I don't like it. :P
It's better than a pussy fart
"Whilst" instead of "while"
I'm pretty good at just breathing and mentally dealing with words I don't like, but this one drives me up a wall. It's not more economical to pronounce or write, it's not different or more precise in meaning, it's not more formal or polite, or more casual. It's just something people say in an attempt to make whatever they're saying sound "smart". It makes me want to stab them in the neck with a pencil.
Also, when I was in high school, I passionately hated "what's up, yo?". Ironically, I have a student here in Japan named Yo, and I've caught myself saying this phrase a couple of times.

A friend of mine likes to use this phrase sarcastically, ever since an episode of Friends had one of the main characters' Father tell everyone how "A girl who works in my office is a lesbian". After being shushed and such, he says with a shit-eating grin, "I'm just saying".

plox
It's automatic ignore if I see someone type that word instead of spelling please correctly. It's only 3 more letters and online gaming is not like text messaging, short hand typing isn't needed.
Another word: nub. People use it like noob but typing it one letter shorter only makes some people look like high school dropouts.
Plox! Motherfucker.... :)
What the hell is "plox"?
Chris
I think somewhere, sometime, "please" became "plox". I do not know why this terrible mutation has occured.
But I will admit to using it sometimes though, in non-serious context ofc. Writing it as "pl0x" makes you seem even cooler and educated.
Moar plox, pl0x.
YOLO, What does it mean??
I don't hear it, But the kid who lives here with me hears it from his friends

Something I've been hearing a lot lately is SWAG or SWAGG or some shit like that. I have absolutely no clue what the hell people are talking about.
I thought "swag" was another word for "loot" (as in sweet loot) but Urban Dictionary has proven me wrong (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=swag). :-k
