Abbreviations that Annoy You

[D'Snowth]

I'm not talking about strictly internet talk, but rather abbreviations that have been used in everyday life that after a while just get on your nerves.

For me, the two abbreviations that annoy me the most are "sammies" and "preggers".

A sandwich is a sandwich is a sandwich... I can understand us southern folk pronouncing them as "sammiches", but "sammies"? That's a proper NAME!

And when some over-rated air head of a celebrity is going to have a baby, everybody's "OHMIGOSH! SHE'S PREGGERS!" "Preggers"? That sounds like it should some kind of a bad snack food rather than refering to a celebrity whose pregnant.

What about you guys?

I've never heard anyone refer to a sandwhich as a 'sammies'. =/ That'd probably get on my nerves though. But the 'preggers' thing doesn't really bother me.

Rachael Ray coined the term, and Quizno's are always talking about their special "sammies".

Yuck-o! Any, I have to agree with the term preggers and I really can't stand that one, either. I just want to "staggers" anyone who use that term.

But I can't stand anything from Internet/E-mail/Text messaging or any of this stuff.

Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing!

Preggers bothers me a little bit, I guess. It sounds kinda stupid, lol. And I've actually never heard anyone call a sandwich a "sammie," either... that's a weird one.

But no abbreviations annoy me more than all those Internet abbreviations that are out there, lol. Ahhhhh! That is what drives me craziest!

I'm glad hat makes two of us, honey!

You talking about leet (a.k.a. l337)?

Who?

 

[D'Snowth]

Who?

Leet. Internet language. You know... "Lol", "ROFLMAO", "Ttyl", "OMG", "***", "IIRC", etc.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhh! So that what that is... Yeah! That's exactly what I mean...

And just like you feel about current daylight savings time... I Ain't doing it. But that's just my personal choice, though.
