Ok...
So I sincerely apologize for my long break from posting the words I hate. My life has become exceptionally busy as of late with my teaching at the college, my kids having 13th birthdays, my family life, and various other things that generally consume one's time and days.
So, with all that... I am back with my next Word I Hate To Say - Peasy, Peezy, or Peasey!
Macmillan Dictionary - Peasy
ADJECTIVE
BRITISH - INFORMAL
British English pronunciation: easy-peasy /ˌiːzi ˈpiːzi/
- extremely easy.
This word is used mainly by children or when speaking to children.
First, I wish to state for the record, that this is not even a legitimate word. Unless you consider the Urban Dictionary credible, there is no such word as Peasy in the English language. Because of this, I get tired of hearing it, tired of hearing kids say it, and get utterly irritated that kids are being taught this word in elementary school. No wonder our educational systems are a disgrace... we teach kids fiction and nonsense like Evolution, safe-sex, and imaginary words!
Secondly, as if I need to provide more reason to gripe... Adults wander around saying easy-peasy lemon squeezy as if that is an common everyday phrase. IT IS NOT unless you are addressing a preschooler (then refer to point number one above) and isn't much easier just to say that something is easy or simple?
Grow up people! Teach our young well and the world will be a better place! Ugh!
