The word Snarky makes me testy and irritable. It's perplexing to me when people use it who are neither British or from the early 1900's.
Do you have a word that makes you irritable?
*do it. push the sound button next to the word Snarky. Listen to it 4 times in a row and tell me it's not irritating.

Several: stick; batch; moist; chocolate (when each syllable is enunciated; I prefer to say it as
"chocklate"); chick-fil-at.
And any word that ends in "-r" and not pronounced with a Boston accent!
--timo
I agree wholeheartedly.
I kind of like the word snarky!
But I hate the word penalized...but only when people pronounce it PEEnalized.
Grossity-gross.
Who is using this word... snarky?? I can't stand it when Derick says ABBBBsolutely! In a very annoying up beat, cheesy way. He only says it to get under my skin.
Roquefort - as in Roquefort Dressing. Blue Cheese Dressing's step-brother.
Also, anything ending with -in' instead of -ing:
Huntin'
Fishin'
Car Racin'
Learnin'
Eatin'
Sleepin'
Not so much when it is said, because I am sure I am not annunciating that every time, but more when it's written out - usually advertisin' somethin' for NASCAR.
Moist for sure... maybe just baybe cake is "SO MOIST" BUT anything - I mean ANYTHING else that is MOOOIIISSSTTT is simply not okay. With that being said my kids say it all of the time to annoy me. :)
