Just wondering if there are any Slang words anyone despises?

I live in Georgia, one of the most redneck places in USA. Although it really is not all that country southern talk you will hear on TV and the movies. Though inevitably you will hear it and instantly recognize it! However, I hate the slang word Ya'll! ..... annoying and "fixin" to do it. I really dislike the accent here the "country twang" so to speak. Thankfully I have almost no traces of it. Except when I use the word "got".
 
My Mum is from West Yorkshire. Some of the slang her and her dad use is terrible, like another language. She says "clarts" i.e "it woh as soft as bleedin' clarts". Which apparently means mud, "it was as soft as sticky mud". Another one is "It's like a midden in here". Which apparently means that it is untidy. Her favourite that she says every day without fail is "I'm bloody nithered". Which means "I'm freezing". Me and my dad take the mick out of her all the time and today we heard her say "It woh like bastard briggate". We were wetting ourselves laughing and apparently Briggate Street is the main high street in Leeds so it means "It was very busy". My grandad says "sither" which means "look here" and "tha' noz" instead of "y'know". Very, very weird and hilarious for us people around them. We live in Cheshire which is very straight-laced if you know what I mean and most people don't really have a fixed accent but even though my mum has lost some of her accent, these slang terms leave everybody baffled lol.

There is a good bit of slang around here but nothing to compare to some of the "off the wall" things I've heard used over in britain. Usually I can infer the meaning and I know a good bit of slang but it gets lost in translation along with the many accents.
