When people call sex "breeding".
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
I uh... I'm not sure what your source is, but for mine 'breeding' is anything but "only for procreation"
E: in case it isn't painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes :p
Apparently it's urban slang.
Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.
It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through "Puritanical thingy". Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]

Did you look them up? That's basically what most of the mainstream US churches are based off of.
I had to as I am not (like veeeerrry far away) familiar at all with any mainstream US churches phrases. At least, I have learnt something new
I only use "breeding" to refer disparagingly to the actions of those who believe that having kids is mandatory or, at least, unavoidable.
Trump
Slay because my 10 year uses it for everything. Slayalicious, slaytastic, slayme...
Nag. Just sounds harsh
Bungalow. Should be obvious.
People who shorten food names aren't doing English any favors...
'za (Pizza), taters, sgetti, nanners, gnosh (im hungry I need some gnosh gnosh)
Can't pick just one so here're a couple.
"Crypto" used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. "AI", referring only to LLMs. "Research", referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase "do your own research" that's being bandied around in some communities.
"AI", referring only to LLMs.
Yeah, it's annoying because there are a lot of legit image recognition and pattern matching applications in my work field, and I need to ask for clarification every time someone says "AI".
Like, is this actually useful, or do you mean "we asked ChatGPT to generate you 20% nonsense"?
I've come to hate "Utilize." It has a decent purpose as "using to the fullest extent," or, "making do with something in a new context."
Instead, I just hear it as a replacement for "use" when someone wants to sound smart.
'Woke' when used as a perjorative.
"literally" and "like"
...because it's literally used like every two words
Like literally like oh my gawd did you see that basic bitch with last year's iPhone pro max ultra deluxe special edition? I'm totally unfolloeing her on everything
it's literally the day after the release of the new model
Cocktail… it sounds stupid as a word to describe an alcoholic drink. Maybe it’s because I’m not a drinker and I just don’t understand 🤷
A peacock's tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.
A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.
I don't really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.
Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn't actually known and my interpretation isn't even in the running, but I'm saving this anyway because it's amusing.
I’ll also take your definition. It sounds good and if there’s not a known origin, it could be true
Hmm... I like that, sorry. But, there is a little history behind that word.
An alcoholic mixed drink, and derived senses you will need to scroll down a bit to get to the alcoholic drink part.
Any misspoken words, said with full confidence that it is correct.
I left him know.
There's a woof in the backyard.
Can I (aks) you something?
That one I hear so much, I'm afraid it will become the new normal way of pronouncing ask. Definitely bugs me!
Well, it was an old way of pronouncing it: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/people-have-been-saying-ax-instead-ask-1200-years-180949663/
"y'all" its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words "academic incest" which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.
Do you say can't or can not?
"All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?"
Al'ay'allo'ghtn't've'ny'hear?

I don’t hate it, but apparently they have done polls and often the top result is:
Moist
“Mouthfeel.” Especially if it’s a food show.
"Unctuous", especially when overused on those shows...
Receive.
I think my grasp of English is pretty good, but this is one of the most common words I misspell on a regular basis. I have no idea why I keep wanting to write "recieve" instead.
Too many to count. A lot of the current slang
Rizz comes close to the top of the list
Ointment… it sounds so gross
"Stylized"
pulchritudinous
it's an incredibly ugly word
Ironic!
egg
Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it's an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there's no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it's Thick Soup.
Tumescent
Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.
