These are words/phrases/statements that irritate the crap out of me for no reason other than that I’m snobby and unreasonable.
Stuffs - when used other than as a verb
Me myself and I
Moving forward
Think out of the box - and it's not even grammatically correct
"Eh. Estro biu nair pei ahh?" (you'd have to watch too much astro ads to appreciate this)
*in the most neanderthal voice possible despite the fact of evolution*
Equipments
Just me
Best practices
[anything, whether really boleh or not] Boleh!
Where’s your boss ah?
War on terror
Afundi
Perm
I want to share with you... - but don't consciously curb yourself when talking to/emailing me. Kan already said I'm unreasonable.
"Chewren" - cheating here, technically no such written word. pronunciation then.

UPDATE: Thanks to one of the comments, I'm reminded of another one...
Sky Juice
Oh and I don't know if this counts as a word...
Halle Berry - GRRRRARRRHHHRRR!!! STOOPID SHORTY.

Some of mine:
"The thing is that is"
"Oleng Jus?"
"Can I helptch you?"
"That's mean" .. (not to point out something mean...)
Lol I HATE 'Stuffs' and 'Me Myself and I' too - drives me mental.
Also can't stand:
"Your" when they mean "You're"
"Their" when they mean "They're"
"Its" when they mean "It's"
And "Got girlfriend yet or not? When are you going to get married? Your parents waiting only for a grandchild, man!" when they should just piss off and die.
"This is my favourite song". (when the last 4 songs were his fav songs???
"I have not enuf money" (when they just blew hundreds on non essentials)
"Ooh the Tai Tai" refering to me.. I just get damn mad! I think I need therapy to learn to let that slide off my brain.
ditto "moving forward", "thinking out of the box", "stuffs"
i TRULY HATE (but cripes! now find myself using sometimes when i just cannot think of anything else to say to a really boring person i have been avoiding for a long time but ter-bump into).. "small world"
and professionally, i CANNOT STAND "letter of agreement". a favoured word in this office. eh, its either one or the other, ok.
haha... at long last! So let me add to the nitpicking:
breathen... Gah... chewah...
najah - you donch like people to helpch you? heh. god i HATE "that's mean".
btw and offtopic, DRINK COFFEE NOW, before it's too late. :)
jay - someone should invent a spellcheck for tongues, why not you? (i hate the adamking guiness campaign btw) :) but i imagine you'd put your filthy little mind to more useful tongue inventions.
ame - reply "Tight Thighs? Why thank you, I do try to stay in shape. You..er, really might want to consider doing so too".
you'll be a hit! or be hit.
snowie - eeps, i've said small world to you before. how about "My god, YOU!"?
heehee..letter of agreement. I think i've heard "agreement letter" before. bleurk.
perky (because that's SO your blogpersona) - zounds, is that "brethren"?
"chewah" doesn't irritate me. kinda funny. much like how "'caya lah" amuses the heck out of me!
oh, oh, oh, just came across another one i tak boleh tahan: "in regards to".
oooh lemme join the fun!
The suffix "... giler! like,"power giler!"
Mixing up genders "he" becomes "she" or vice versa (but that's cos there's no gender reference in mandarin)
When veteran politicians make speeches with a lot of "dan uh...siapa nama tu...dan uh...apa namanye..." for god's sake man, get an elocution tutor!
me perky? eh? never thought of myself that way... hmmmm...
yes...brethen, an archaic word, that is often used by one particular blogger, always in inappropriate context. Always make me frown to see him (ab)use it. Whatever happened to dictionaries...
