Pet Peeve #67

People who try to make up words,
most often being contractions of real words.
For example:

Absotively
Amazazing
Benefficient
Bridezilla
Chillax
Fabtastic
Fantabulous
Frienemy
Ginormous
Lasterday
Mandals
Manorexic
Nonversation
Obeseist
Prettiful
Quierd
Scarcasm
Tizite

I had the best time making this list.

  1. Agreed.

    Although, sometimes I catch myself using ginormous. We can't all be perfect.

    What I actually hate even MORE, are words that people say that are almost real words, but they are just saying them almost correctly. Like supposebly. Or irregardless, (which my computer is actually claiming is a word right now, by not underlining it with red squigglies) ((squigglies is not a word, thanks mac)) or stratisfied. That one, derived from the Vegas Stratosphere, which has obviously made such a huge impact upon their lives.

    Anyways.
