The American 'word' I hate the most is 'Hunker'.
Remember back when Hurricane Katrina happened.
Every reporter used 'Hunker' in almost every sentence.
"They were all Hunkered down. So people, Hunker down and stay safe"
Then I heard Aussie reporters starting to use it
But I notice that during Cyclone Yasi the Aussie reporters were using the slightly more acceptable term 'Bunkered' down.
Annoying but not as bad.
Geez I hate 'Hunkered'
