But, Latysh, are there not in your native language or languages words that irritate you and others when used in a conversation? Not particularly urban or youngster's slang , but just fashionable words that are overused?Originally Posted By: latishya
I have tried to read up on this but still do not understand it. In the English of my country it is most often used in a positive sense of cakes and other baked confectioneries. The extreme aversion to the word I find bewildering. Perhaps I am better off this way.
There is in French a word that irritates me. In conversations, they very often say: -'génial' for any little thing or idea they think funny, good or pleasant. It baffles me. I never dared make a comment on it, because it does not seem to irritate them one bit.
