I hate it when people use the word 'bucks' instead of dollars, when referring to money.

It is annoying since only people say it with a weird inflection. "Gimme some BUCKS" or "Gimme some money" sounds so much better.

I just think it sounds unintelligent, it doesn't even relate to sounding like 'Dollars' either.

It comes from when buckskins were used for trade in North America. The shortened term eventually was used to refer to currency.

I hate the forefinger-thumb rub people use when they talk about money. Or when they refer to it as "cha-ching". Ay yi yi. Just shut up already.
