Are there any words that just grate on your nerves when you hear them? A word that drives me crazy is: whatnot

How about you?

Yeah, I've heard some variations on it, even just within a 5-mile radius.

"Henna or no?" sounds like something you'd hear in a beauty parlor.

Still weirds me out. Like "Go with", as in "Are you going to go with?" Go with WHO?!? They never say!!!

It's the words that aren't words that bother me. An example is "irregardless," and whatnot.

Then, I'm so sick of the word "service" as used in marketing. I feel it is wholly inappropriate to use it and, accordingly, I find it amateurish writing, you know, like a horrific pandemic. Annoying, hainit?
