Agreed. Minty just especially annoys me. It's not a word, unless it is referring to clean feeling after using mouthwash. It's like saying "Excellenty" or "Perfecty"
What are the worst words in photography?

Ride, dive, shoot.
I have a photo shoot this weekend, there will be a couple dozens of DSLR dads. I'm sure I can get another 20 "worst words" that I can post here.... :bang:

"So do I need a lens?" - heard this in a camera store by a parent needing to get their kid a camera for photography class (and probably looking to save money).
"What is better Canon or Nikon?"
"How do I make only one color show"
"What's the best digital camera I can get for under $200"

And fungus. And slight separation of some elements, but it doesn't effect the picture quality at all.

The word "Professional" drives me up the wall. Disclaimer: I work in a camera store.
"Oh, I'm not a professional…" [said when told a lens costs $200]

"I need a professional camera…" [said while looking at the cheapest DSLR ever made]

"Can I see that picture?", "I'm going to have to ask you to delete it" and when told on no uncertain terms that I wouldn't fulfill her requests: "We own the copyright to those images, so you're not allowed to post them on the internet!" from a pompous Production Assistant doing outside broadcast in Singapore.
If the photos weren't so dull I would have posted them on Flickr just to spite her.

"Why are you taking a photo of that?"
Or,
"Its okay..."
Or,
Guy in camera shop, "Come over here, I want to show you this...". He pulls out a D700 with an 85 f1.4 Nikkor, and I quietly die of GAS.
Or,
Referring to my Yashica-mat, "Is that a bomb?"

😛 This thread is great!
An officer at the airport after finding my shoulder bag had 50 rolls of film inside, and 6 cameras...
"Are you a photographer?"
