Overused Simlish

Any Simlish you are annoyed with?
I believe the following was added not that long ago, but find it to be annoyingly overused when my Sims talk:
- Moochy peachy
- Saguinario
Disclaimer: I don't know how it's actually spelled, but the above is what is sounds like to me.

Or whatever is the equivalent of "You like/do_____? Me too."
That's what it seems like it should be translated to based on context. And then they do that arm motion with it too.
Chumcha. Apparently it means pizza, or just food in general, which wouldn't be so bad if they didn't say it while eating. I mean, how often do you sit at the table to eat and randomly say "food" in-between bites?
I'm still trying to figure out what Segloona means. At first I thought it had something to do with vampires, because they say it a lot when using their powers, but lately I've also been hearing non-occult sims say it in normal conversations.
Definitely! It was funny at first, but got old fast.
Something else that isn't really a word, but still annoying, is when they keep shouting "Ha!" and "Wooow!" while repairing or upgrading household objects like toilets, as if that was some kind of heroic action. The Mario Brothers are plumbers and also superheroes - is that where this comes from?
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.

The Sims Game
Some female Sims say something at the end of talking that sounds like "Dumped my boyfriend" ...that's not annoying, though. Just funny.
But one that is very tormenting is by male Sims while in CAS who has the middle/warm masculine voice (like Johnny Zest) - they sound so incredibly dumb exclaiming "Ye Bozaa, Hahahaa!". I get a rash from hearing that.
Also, flirty men with voices like Mortimer, Bjorn, and Marcus when they like throw their head and hand back and say "Bin Koya" ...or something. Females with voices like Bella Goth's also sing it when they shower... "Benusa, bin koya", perhaps?
It sounds pretty cool though when those same women also sing the catchphrase-ish "Kuno, kepuna, skuno metza!".

Lol benooza bin koya can either annoy me or entertain me depending on my mood.
Iβve always wondered about the translation of that one.
because there is literally no reason for them to shout and it makes me angry
especially recently with that university cafeteria thing since at least with food stalls it made some sense
and I also hate the random sounds sims make while dancing etc like shut up
as for ts1 though that constant whistling made me so angry I still hear it in my head even if I haven't played ts1 in ages

There was something they kept saying during my play tonight and I was sick of hearing it, but now I've forgotten what it was.
"Goonganay onsa" (on the phone)
"Kincubaquayba?" (in a convo asking about interests)
"Badeesh" (vendor handing over a food order)
"Oo Oo brown neep!" (pointing at the sky while cloud/stargazing)
Everything they say when whining while taking a shower with a need in the red! Ug, I always turn the sound off when that happens. I mean, nobody whines and cries like that just because their hunger, social, fun or bladder is low. Our Sims can be such babies sometimes. lol
I wouldn't say these annoy me (except the whiny shower stuff), they're just so repetitive. After hearing them so many times, I know exactly what they're going to say next and find myself saying it along with them. Especially "Goonganay onsa". lol Can't remember at the moment what they say just before that, but I know "Goonganay onsa" is guaranteed next. Oh well... *shrugs*
Happy Simming!
Oh yes, when I played I tried very hard to not let my Sims pick up the humorous trait (can't think of what it's called at the moment). The chicken cluck with the hand movement is beyond annoying for any sim who isn't a child.

I think I know what you mean, I too has mixed feelings for a laugh line, I think only women say it.
Basically I think the conversations are good, always hoping new packs will add a few more lines to make the taking more diverse. But I can't stand all their arm waving while talking. No person I know do wave their hands this much in a conversation. I understand the programmers see it as the sim getting totally enthusiastic, it just gets too much. I can't even film a talking sim close up because they will not stay in the rrame but be all over. It would probably work only if they are sad, but well...
Adding: Also wish the talking guestures and mimic would match their personality a bit better. A shy sim should do less arm waving than an outgoing sim, ie.
Honourable mention goes to "Sul sul, nooboo!" when said by any Sim I'm not currently controlling, because more often than not, said nooboo is crying and the parents can't do anything about it because the "sul sul"-sayer is standing in the way. -_-
I actually played the game so much at one point I had to stop listening because the Simlish became annoyingly repetitive. Funny thing is repetitive noise is actually an interrogation technique so, not hard to imagine that Simlish gets annoying after so many hours. Okay, maybe that's not so funny, but yeah... the language definitely gets old after a few hundred hours of listening to it.
