I don't know if it's considered fancy, but I really dislike the word perhaps.

Utilize. "use" is simpler and almost always better

Bespoke does not bespeak to me. There is something about this word that doesn’t make sense to me, as someone who can usually break down a word to figure out its origins and meaning (to an extent). So it’s actually my inability to process what bespoke means that annoys me so much. Basically, it means custom made? BUT WHY?

That’s a hard one to pronounce. Usually takes me about 4 hours.

“Haptics” too because every time I’ve actually heard it said in-person it’s been by someone of this extremely punchable phenotype:

Now that’s a good word. Is it the sound of the word or the spelling of it that annoys you?
Here’s a word I love to use but people get annoyed when I use it: “ameliorated”

Disproportionately disparaging…
