Word to drive you crazy
72 Answers
I can`t be the only one who fills with despair every time the word PROUD is thrown out! It is used now so much by all and sundry that it has long since lost any sensible meaning. People are proud of their suntan, proud that they only drank six pints last night, proud that they have no hair in their ears, proud that they are skinnier than Posh, proud that they finished school, proud that they didn`t forget to put the rubbish out on time, proud that they got married, proud that they got divorced, proud that they have 2 kids, proud that they haven`t got any kids, and all and sundry seem to be proud of their relatives for one reason or another. (That`s a point, can you be proud for someone else?)
Many times the word proud that you hear is bordering on arrogance or conceit. And, boy, I really feel proud if I can get through the day without hearing the word PROUD!

My pet hate is 'battling' - as in 'he is currently battling cancer ...'.
You don't 'battle' cancer, or any other diease! You have it, you endure it, hopefully you are cured, and if not, you succomb, but the idea that you have any 'battle' with it is a total nonsense.

It's 'Hero' that annoys me. A hero to me is a person who fights and dies for his country, or who wades in and saves somebody from certain death without a thought for their own safety, but newspapers are guilty of this using the term for sports men, the hero of the match - he scored that final goal - our hero aaaaaaarrgggggh!
