Love
It never bothered me, but I used to call women love from the to time years ago. I think it derived from working in a butchers shop when I was younger and the guys there saying it. Anyway, ome lady give me an earful one day for it and ever since then I've not done it.

Babe
It’s my worst hated word
Why do so many guys on here call it us when it’s a London thing
It’s shite and puts me off
No doubt I will now get a message using that word just for the their funny side of it |

Oh I hate it when a random man calls you babe. Or says something like oh that's a good girl. (it happened a lot when I worked in retail and it drove me bananas!)
I also don't like darling. |

"I find it smart assed so I punch them in the face
Any saying or words that grind you testicles or lady balls ??  "
You punch people in the face for calling you mate?
I'm surprised anyone would want to be your mate with that attitude |

Babe = Instant mental punch to the face.
Girl = don’t infantilise me. Mental punch to the balls.
“It is what it is” = becoming more common and used when someone can’t think of anything intelligent to say. Makes my teeth itch. Mental slap to the head.
Aksed instead of asked = you axed him? Harsh. Oh, you asked him? Slap.
West minister instead of Westminster = tube platform staff announce this. There’s no extra i!!!
I should stop. I’ve revealed far too much of my snobbery. I can’t help it. I love my language, word play and writing but inaccuracies truly annoy me. |

I’m a Londoner.
So it’s “luv” this and “luv” that with the odd “mate” thrown in. It’s so intrinsic to my daily speech I barely notice.
It is informal and only ever meant as a form of connection I believe. Never to denigrate or insult.
Given my above post it’s all rather ironic! |

"The phrase "Can I get...?" used instead of "Could I have..?""
Yes!!!! And always in coffee shops.
“Can I get a latte?”
No. It’s “please may I have a latte” or “I would like a latte please”.
Grrrr..... |

These things really don’t bother me. However I tend to be careful of using my colloquial ones. I’ve never known anyone to dislike mate- but being from Liverpool- love is quite common and I was brought up with it. However it rankles with so many women I endeavour to avoid using it, as I understand how patronising and over familiar it can appear to them.
They are so much a figure of speech with colloquial variations I just note them.
As for incorrect use of language it really doesn’t get to me, not everyone learned the same stuff as me in their earlier years. They probably have skills and strengths I don’t possess. I’m much more intolerant of my mistakes and errors with language, punctuation and grammar. I have a love hate relationship with auto-carrot   |

""Duck/y" - There's a woman at work who uses it constantly and I know it's just a greeting to her and there's no meaning behind it but it really gets on my nerves  "

"When someone calls me dear grrrrrr
I haven't hear that in ages
I get it on here a lot
Calm down Dear, it's only a term of affection 
*said in best Michael Winner voice "

I don't really mind being called, love, hun or whatever. My job means I am likely to upset people quite regularly and be called an F**ing Bitch, so it's a pleasant surprise to be a love instead
Though it is quite amusing when the guy is only about 18.

'Hun' is a commonly despised one - but I've noticed the sort of people who use it most with me, are the ones who complain loudest about it being used on THEM, which makes it doubly disparaging. |

"Something else I hate is when people put the word LIKE on the end of every sentence"
People that answer every question with "So"
They usually accumulate on Pointless, when Alexander Armstrong asks them what hobbies or interests they have, the stock reply seems to be, So I like basket weaving/ So I like Morris Dancing, So I'm a keen stamp collector....  |
