I hate words like “whimsical”, “flummoxed” or “lackadaisical” that sound ridiculous, “borborygmus”, “callipygian” or “concupiscent” that are rarely used correctly and scientifical or medical lexicon employed in a regular conversation. Those who frequently use them often seem to try too hard achieving originality and lack of accuracy. Unjustified abbreviations also get on my nerves. Everytime I read “tbh”, even ironically, I stop reading and ignore the poster, without caring about what he said. I welcome it as an offense.
