Stuff that grinds your gears

My cousin uses the Britishism (Portuguese originally) palaver. She pronounces it palava because she's only ever heard it used on Eastenders.

She has a whole suite of annoying things like that.

Palaaaaavaaah

I don’t think that’s annoying as friends saying the word “skittin”

It makes my skin crawl ?????

Always thought this was an Indian word.
Even sounds like one.
Surprised to hear that it's Portuguese.

Reminds me of the barley sweets as a kid. You'd have a sore throat and you'd be forced to suck on those bastids. Horrible fecking yolks

Indian words are way easier to pronounce than Portuguese

Sari seems to be the hardest word.
