One of mine is "ta", both used online and in person, for the first time yesterday I heard a friend utter this horrible substitution for thank you to me
Generally it's internet slang used in real life.

No it's not internet slang at all, in fact it pre-dates the internet by quite some time.. 'Ta' comes from the original Danish word for thanks, 'Tak'. Due to the way we British speak the 'K' was dropped and 'Ta' was used instead.

Some of my friends use the word 'bare' a lot. Personally i dont see the need for it! lol For example 'shes bare fit' or 'nah man i cant i got bare homework to do'. Its fine when you drunk but not a word one should use when sober

'jokes', usually after some utterly inane piece of banter. Grrrr.

Someone I know ends every sentence with an inflexed "so..." followed by an intake of breath. She's a teacher and I find her infuriating.

people who start sentences with 'no'

'that was a good session last night, we were a real team but that guy was annoying'
'no, he really ****ed me off'
yeah, got on my nerves too'
'no, like, when he dropped it there i was like. grrrr'

ffs what is the point? :mad:

If someone keeps using a word in a discussion it will irritate me too.
