"To a man"

I'm a guy and I really don't even get what it's supposed to be meaning.

And let's find the PAIN POINTS.

And what is your PRICE POINT? [Do you mean what is my price range? Or exactly how much I paid? Do you even know what you mean?)

But most of all I hate the word "drizzle." Every recipe written in the past 5 years finds a way to use the word, and I hate it.

I think moist has become that jokey word that you're supposed to mention in lists like this. The word has been around for so long and suddenly a third of the population has a visceral reaction to it? Yeah, we all watched that episode of How I Met Your Mother.

You don't like the word supper, as in the meal? Is it because you'd rather people say dinner?


New poster, and I hate it too - I think using the word supper makes the user sound like a yokel. Hate it!

Ah, but supper and dinner mean two different things. Supper is the evening time meal and it may or may not be dinner, which means the main/biggest meal of the day.


This doesn't make me hate the word any less.

"Like", when not used to express affection or approval.

Example: "He's like the captain of the baseball team." Well, is he the captain or isn't he??!!

OP.

Moist is just... ugh. I don't even know what it is about it but the word makes my skin crawl.

"Yikes" is a MIL special. She says it every two sentences. I'm like, what are you, 12? Is this middle school?

Not if she pronounced it More-rah (like Maura). My husband and I had this name debate for ages because I really wanted Moira.
