kazu da je najiritirajuca rec u engleskom jeziku. Meni je ipak like na prvom mestu
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Whatever you think about using grating words, at the end of the day it's actually better not to say whatever, if you know what I mean.
For the second consecutive year "whatever' topped a Marist poll as the most annoying word or phrase in the English language.
Nearly 39 percent of 1,020 Americans questioned in the survey deemed it the most irritating word, followed by "like" with 28 percent and the phrase "you know what I mean' at 15 percent.
"Perhaps these words are introduced through popular culture, for example movies ... so they catch on," said Mary Azzoli, of Marist. "It has a lot to do with how accepted and how popular they become in every day speech."
Azzoli said words like "whatever" can be quite dismissive depending on how they are used.
"It's the way they are delivered and inherent in that delivery is a meaning.
The phrase "to tell you the truth" and "actually" were also unnerving to many people. But for younger Americans, aged 18 to 29, "like" was the word that annoyed them most.
:mrgreen:
Like, whatever. Get over your self, honey. :evil:
omg
wtf? :mrgreen:

znam da sam mozda smorela, ali moram i ovo da podelim sa vama
Sa druge strane imamo i rec godine austerity In economics, austerity is a policy of deficit-cutting, lower spending, and a reduction in the amount of benefits and public services provided.[1] Austerity policies are often used by governments to reduce their deficit spending[2] while sometimes coupled with increases in taxes to pay back creditors to reduce debt.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - As Greece faced a debt crisis, the government passed a series of strict austerity measures, including tax hikes and public-sector pay cuts.
The move sparked angry protests, strikes and riots across the country as unemployment skyrocketed and the crisis spread to other European countries. It also provoked a rush to online dictionaries from those searching for a definition.
Austerity, the 14th-century noun defined as "the quality or state of being austere" and "enforced or extreme economy," set off enough searches that Merriam-Webster named it as its Word of the Year for 2010, the dictionary's editors announced Monday.
John Morse, president and publisher of the Springfield, Mass.-based dictionary, said "austerity" saw more than 250,000 searches on the dictionary's free online tool and came with more coverage of the debt crisis.
"What we look for ... what are the words that have had spikes that strike us very much as an anomaly for their regular behaviour," Morse said. "The word that really qualifies this year for that is 'austerity'."
Runners-up also announced Monday included "pragmatic," ''moratorium," ''socialism," and "bigot" — the last word resulted from public uses by former British prime minister Gordon Brown, former CNN host Rick Sanchez and former NPR senior analyst Juan Williams.
Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster's editor-at-large, said this year's top 10 words were associated with a news event or coverage, which editors believe resulted in prolonged jumps in searches.
"Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the searches on one particular news event, but typically that is what sparks people's curiosity in a word," Sokolowski said.
For example, "socialism" was searched, editors believe, because of coverage around federal bailouts and Democratic-backed federal health care legislation. And editors noticed that "pragmatic" was looked-up a number of times after U.S. midterm elections.
According to Morse, the dictionary's online website sees more than 500 million searches a year — with most of those being usual suspects like "effect" and "affect." But he said words selected for the dictionary's top 10 were words that had hundreds of thousands of out-of-character hits.
Also making the top ten list was the word "doppelganger." Sokolowski said the word saw a jump in searches after George Stephanopoulos of ABC's "Good Morning America" called "Eat, Pray, Love" author Elizabeth Gilbert "Julia Roberts' doppelganger." Roberts played Gilbert in the book's film adaptation and resembles the writer.
"Doppelganger" was also used in the popular television show, "The Vampire Diaries."
"Sometimes, that all it takes," Sokolowski said.
Words "shellacking," ''ebullient," ''dissident," and "furtive" also made this year's top list.
Allan Metcalf, an English professor at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois, and author of "OK: The Improbable Story of America's Greatest Word," said the list of words shows how the country is evolving because the public is looking up words that used to be very common.
"Around 20 to 30 years ago, everyone would know what 'socialism' was," said Metcalf, who is also executive secretary of the American Dialect Society. "Same with bigot. That fact that they have to be looked up says something about us."
That's true with some words like "shellacking," said Jenna Portier, an English instructor at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Although Merriam-Webster editors said searches for the word spiked after President Barack Obama said he and his party took "a shellacking" from voters in midterm election, Portier said the word is very common in southern Louisiana. "Where I'm from, it means to varnish something like wood," Portier said.
Shana Walton, a languages and literature professor also at Nicholls State University, said she understands how news events maybe influenced the dictionary's list.
"If 'moratorium' is one of the most looked-up words, that's clearly a reflection of how often the word was used in the wake of the BP oil spill," said Walton, a linguistic anthropologist who is doing research on oil and land in south Louisiana. "Many people in south Louisiana expressed much more outrage about the moratorium, frankly, than about the spill."
Well whatever :roll: ;)

dok smo bili klinci sa nama je zivela zena koja nas je cuvala, spremala po stanu i pomagala mojima po stanu. Poslednja kucna pomocnica je kod nas zavrsila vecernju skolu a bila je prepuna nekakvih izreka. Kada je otisla mi smo nastavili da iz sale ponavljamo mnoge od tih izreka.
Jedna od komsinica, starija gospodja iz Zagreba je uvek volela da kaze da mi nju - i.e. kucnu pomocnicu - toliko cesto citiramo a kamo srece da ona nas barem jednom.

LOS ANGELES — You know, just sayin' "whatever," is like the most annoying word or phrase in casual English conversation. Seriously.
At least, that's the finding in the latest Marist Poll released on Friday. "Whatever," that ubiquitous part of speech, won the contest for the third consecutive year.(http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_ohmygod.gif)
In the race to the bottom of the linguistic heap, "whatever" drew 38 per cent nationally as the most annoying, beating out "like" with 20 per cent; "you know" with 19 per cent; "seriously" with seven per cent; and "just sayin' " with 11 per cent.
Samo da na listu dodam i really. Really ?
Really
A statement of disbelief in a sarcastic manner. It`s like "seriously" but more obnoxious.
The Simpsons - Season 21 - "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?"
Lisa: Global warming can cause weather at both extremes. Hot AND cold.
Homer: I see. So you`re saying "warming" makes it colder.
-Homer calls Lisa crazy and does a stupid dance-
Lisa: Really? Really? Uh huh.. All right.
I was, like, WOW!

Da, "ekstra" pruzima primat od "vrh" ali novi uljez (pain in the ass) je - "znaci".
Njime zapocinju i zavrsavaju recenice hordi zombija koji ne znaju da sklope prosto prosirenu recenicu.

Pre neki dan procitah ovo u Metro news
The evolution of Toronto English: OMG like, really?
So, like, there's a University of Toronto professor who is so really, really into Canadian English that she got more than 200 native Torontonians to talk and stuff so she could study it, right?
She's like all whatever, explaining how older people don't talk like younger people and girls don't talk like boys and how changes in Toronto English reflect how Canadian English is shifting too.
Eh?
"Everybody thinks that Canadians use a lot of 'eh' — and they do — but they use something else a lot more, at least if they're under 30. And that's 'right,'" says Canadian English-language expert Sali Tagliamonte.
So much for that scene in Argo when CIA "exfil" agent Ben Affleck coaches the U.S. hostages hiding in the Canadian embassy in Tehran how to talk "Toronno" instead of "Toronto."
But don't think we Canadians don't have an accent. "It's a very strong accent and there's a lot of change going on," Tagliamonte insists.
She's in the business of tracking the way language changes, "just like a medical biologist tracks new viruses in any given year."
It was the focus of her Toronto English Project, published in February in a Cambridge University Press volume, The Verb Phrase in English.
"If you listen to your grandmother tell stories, she'll do something like this: 'And he said, "Blah-blah-blah." Then she said, "Blah-blah."'
"But a younger person says: 'And then I said, "OMG. What?" And I'm like, "You're kidding me." And he's like, "I'm not kidding."'"
Intensifiers are adverbs that amp up meaning.
A younger woman might say, "OMG, Bradley Cooper is so, so hot." An older one? "George Clooney is really handsome."
