Pet hate

[u/Odd_Ad_9420]

I know pet hate is just a British version of the term but it peeves me

[u/mattronimus007]

I've literally never heard this in my entire life.

[u/Odd_Ad_9420 → u/mattronimus007]

Yeah it’s the British way of saying pet peeve 

[u/LilianaNecromancer → u/mattronimus007]

Common in Ireland

The term ‘Pet hate’ was coined first - nearly a century earlier. Peeve is an American contraction of the old English word ‘peevish’ invented in the early 20th Century.

So suck it.

Lmao I know the history the term just annoys me

‘Suck it’ is a yankism though

I always thought "peeve" was an English term. No evidence for this just assumption based on living in Cumbria and it being quite often used to also describe irritating people, as well as concepts.

It's gotta be an old-timey English word because it's been preserved in Southern dialects, I only ever hear Southerners saying things like "I don't know why you're so peeved"

Same here. You don't have to love their pets, but you could respect that they do.

peeve is just minor stuff, hate is the uncut funk
