If I must though stay on topic, how about 'jealous'. All users should be sent to prison and refused food and water and not be let out until they understand that one is jealous about a thing one owns and envious of a thing one does not own.
Dear John, I am afraid I recognise a lost cause when I see one.
Parties. As in '...suchabody parties in West London till dawn.' Why not just say 'drinks herself stupid.'
Yes! And similarly, though it won't fit into one word with 'works hard and plays hard'. It means 'has a highly paid job and spends obscene amounts of money on food and drink.'
When people use that word a bit of sick appears in my mouth.
On a similar note, I dislike the term partner.
At the risk of a backlash, I feel it is a term created to be used as a generic term for same sex couples to use, but now there is much greater acceptance of same sex relationships, I see no reason why partner needs to be used, when they can simply use the actual term such as husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend.

but then again, you could say the very fact that same sex relationships have become more acceptable, is more reason to use the word as its not really necessary to differentiate.
On a similar note, I dislike the term life partner. Whats the point, just say you're together
'Lol'
When people actually say the word, out loud. Instead of actually laughing - like any normal person. It's down right rude! I won't lie and say I haven't given someone a slap across the back of the head each and every single time they said it - until it was eventually beaten out of them.

I must admit to having it used it myself, only because I feel like a bit of a dick saying "boyfriend" at my age
i cant stand legend either. But its even worse when people can't even be bothered to say that and shorten it to 'ledge'! (or however you would spell that)
it`s a toss up between "cray cray" [seriously, what?] and "amazeballs" even my grandchildren cringe at them, thankfully i don`t know anyone who`s sad enough to use either.
A word i don't detest, but getting fed up , as it's overused is ...'amazing'......"went to a show it was amazing" "the holiday was amazing" "my friends are amazing"....ARGHHH!!

When I was working a number of customers would respond with the word "brilliant" when I completed the most mundane and unspectactular of tasks. I suppose it's a lot better than being criticised but nevertheless it was a bit "over the top".

"Partner" has been used for a long time for opposite-sex couples too. I don't like it much either, but there doesn't seem to be an alternative term for a couple who live together but aren't married. "Boyfriend/girlfriend" doesn't convey the impression of a long-term committed relationship, and isn't really suitable for an older couple anyway.

That reminds me of Trigger on Only Fools And Horses (calling Rodney Dave)
I have a soft spot for the Beware of the Flowers motorcycle club.
'Bliar' in a sentence about Tony Blair is an infallible guide that something absolutely cretinous is about to follow.
What is wrong with moist panties?
Yes, there are far more creative names for Cameron.;-)
Another horrible word just seen on an ad: "succulent".

Someone changed one part of my name to it and it sounded like C**t..

For me, it's 'totes'. My colleague uses it all the bloody time. Urgh.
Good to know I'm not the only one! When did it become acceptable to refer as women/a woman as guys? idiots!
