words only definitions & notes
  1. peeve
    an annoyance
    Among the top peeves I hear about are three expressions that get used in an inverted fashion: literally used non-literally to emphasize a figure of speech, irregardless used to mean regardless, and could care less used to mean couldn't care less.
  2. flop
    fall loosely
    What's with all the flip-flopping?
  3. usage
    the act of employing
    When I go on radio shows to talk about English language usage, talk inevitably turns to words and phrases that people find annoying.
  4. topic
    the subject matter of a conversation or discussion
    (The topic is sure to light up the call-in lines.)
