What words annoy you the most

When in the UK I flat out refuse to use the word “regular” to indicate size.

Find myself regularly — yes, deliberate — in stupid little mini-conversations in places like Caffè Nero:
“I'll have a flat white, please.”
“What size, sir?”.
“Just, you know… normal.”
“You mean regular?”
“No, I mean normal — you know, standard size.”

Mutters to self in irritation: “No, I don't fucking mean regular. I don't speak American!”
 
"Woke"

A word used to belittle decent people who actually give a shit about others.

Woke is up there for me, A term that means being apposed to injustice and discrimination that has turned into a general catch all by the right wing on social media for "something I don't like"
 
Hand-crafted = marketing bullshit for 'humans were involved at some point in this process even if it was pulling a lever or pushing a fucking button. But we think you'll be suckered into buying this one as it sounds artisanal and more valuable.'

File "Artisanal" under the same category :)
 
The Unc's. Mainly used by 93:20 and Noisy Neighbours podcasts talking about City's older players. Gripes on me big time
I’ve never heard the term, I’ve only heard it as a shortened term for Uncle. Why would they use it for the older players?
