Pants.
Not when used correctly, like I am going to buy some new pants today, but when people say 'That's Pants'!

What's wrong with Xmas? It means the same thing and is a common (and quite ancient) abbreviation derived from the Greek alphabet.
ETA: if people say "ex-mas", now that I find irritating.

palpable as in "the tension in the room was palpable " .Makes me think of rotting pears that are all puffed up .......and it is so over used by authors and journalists to describe a situation.

Baby, as in "Don't forget to put a hat on baby before you take him out", like it's the baby's name. To me it would be like saying "Don't forget to put the lead on dog before you take him for a walk".
I am aware that I have probably p***ed of 98% of EW-ers, but......

Have never understood why the "R" is in there to be honest as most people would say "Eh" or "um"

'dear'
'my dear' from someone you don tknow or not dear to you.
'bhe' - shortcut for baby
'like' - some people use like too much in their sentences.. so annoying..

Regardless of its origin, it still bugs me. And given the way people use and spell it......more dwarf less Shakespeare to me.

I hate the word 'squat.' I don't know why -- just a vulgar sounding word. Maybe linked back to grade school when we were made to do squat thrusts in PE!
I also hate the phrase 'hey ho.' What are you -- the seventh dwarf?!

Hearing the word "stuff" used as "stuffs" is annoying.

when people say 'myself and...'. It's grammatically incorrect as 'myself' is reflexive i.e. 'I wash myself'. It doesn't make you sound 'posh' but stupid!
I hate the way people are misspelling 'definitely' 'definately' all of a sudden. Why?
Other words and expressions that bug me are 'date night', 'yummy mummy', calling one's son 'little man' and 'concept store'. Don't ask why, they just do!

I hate the word fanny, full stop (I was going to say 'period' but that's another word I don't like).
Im with you on that one too.....esp when people decide to tell you all about theirs in way too graphic detail when you just dont want to know about it full stop!! makes me want to gag!!
