Words you hate

[TK4]

Friday rant - I wish people would stop using the word 'bespoke' instead of simply tailor made or custom made. It makes them sound pompous.
Have at me, the moat is full, the drawbridges are up and the vats of boiling oil are at the ready...

p.s. add 'farkle' to the list.

I understand the annoyance at the pompousness. Especially since in most instances bespoke means functionally identical but you picked the colours or requested added trim. With a custom product there are often functional differences.

Any word used in context within a meeting that not everyone will understand. Examples: problem domain abbreviation, software dev specific terms (in a meeting with high lvl stakeholders), and acronyms.

Ppl who do this often know others don't know and will try to appear to sound smart by ******* the meeting up. I'll ask teammates post meeting if they understood xyz and explain it but **** the guys who do this!

Outside of this: cis-whatever. How about not-trans because this falls into the above.

'low key', 'hack' and using 'ass' as an adjective. Hear any of these and I am out.

Add 'cuck/snowflake/libtard' and 'fascist' when applied to everyone right of centre.

Bespoke gets a pass from me if you have a British or Irish accent, otherwise, fair enough.

On the topic, overuse of the word 'custom'. Just because you ordered the chrome plastic skull handgrips from Amazon, that doesn't make them custom...

Its used by everyone in Britain apparently and google says it could have multiple meanings

'Ironically', always misused.
