“Points”
“Better”
“Best”
But the thing that really makes my skin crawl is to see the situations where wines are pitted against each other like some type of death match where one wine ‘destroys’ the other, or ‘blows the doors’ off of another.
To me, it is comical to imagine wines moving at different paces, at different stages of their lives competing against each other. It is really a bizarre thing to see and really against what I Love about wine.

I can’t stand when people refer to “laying down” wine. Makes me think of the Conway Twitty song, “I’d Love to Lay You Down.”
In fact, I’m not cellaring wine, or aging it, or maturing it either. I just have wine that I’m not drinking yet. There’s little to no action on my part.
A year or two ago, I responded in a wine terms thread to say that I wasn’t crazy about the use of “singing” to describe wine. I got flamed. 
It doesn’t make me cringe, but ‘massively endowed’ is always good for a chuckle. No so much so for ‘flaccid’.
You guys need to stop talking and start drinking. Whats better to describe? The wine or the aftermath anyways?
This wine made me feel goofy then i fell down and broke my arm.
LOL, I probably violate all of the above! Well, except for Monie’s unique terms.
Love you for that Larry but it seems like a lost cause. As in it’s “definately” a lost cause!
Terms I hate are all the terms designed to polarize people - spoofilated, natural, Parkerized, etc. Oh, and “minerality”.
Juice.
Interestingly, I agree with many of the ones mentioned, but there are a few that make perfect sense to me, and seem straightforward enough that I can’t understand why they would be disliked.
What you all said. ^
Sometimes it depends on the speaker. For example, when The Suckling pronounces “Giacosa” (or anything, really), I’m far less than 100 points on that.
Are you sure that your name isn’t Fleming?
Threads titled “A tale of two…”
“Wine X is a great value at only $99+…”
This long for ‘Hedonistic’? Actually, I no longer cringe when I see that term as it is a great description of a wine to avoid.
Tertiary. Just don’t like it.

‘Burgundian-like’ or any other descriptor that makes you believe you can make or have wines ‘like’ other regions . . . .
cringe.
So you’ve never tasted a wine blind and confused it for a wine from another region?
