The children's toy is Lego. The individual pieces are Lego bricks or pieces of Lego. There is no such word as 'Legos'.
Words that annoy me for no particular reason.

Only now there is, such a pluralised abomination.
It has been incanted into firm existance, through endless repetition here.
Small children are now dancing around their multicoloured plastic bricks, shrieking
"Legos, Legos, lovely lovely Legos"
And its all our fault
Like all unwanted childish behaviour, it's really best ignored, in the hope that it goes away..

Not a word as such, but two that annoy me when used in conjuntion with one another...
Long covid.
No such thing. There is covid 19, and the damage it causes can take a long time to get over, but there is no disease or medical condition called long covid. Get over it BBC.

Well yes, every word was once a neologism, but just because I used it to illustrate my agreement with a point made by another poster doesn't mean I accept its cromulence.
I probably should have put it in quotes, otherwise any string of letters becomes a word, just because I write it down, which frankly would be just fruhtenil.
