I can tolerate things to an extent, but I have a really short fuse when people get fancy with certain terms, "orbs" being #1 on that list.
Though the major turn-off for me is that it reminds me of those fancy, long-winded romance fiction on FFN. Too many fancy words can really set off a Mary Sue-ish sort of air. --Actually if I remember correctly fancy details on an appearance really does have chances of turning your character into a Sue, I guess.
Why some people have to use so many adjectives for the color "beige" and "blue" I'll never understand. I'd just say "beige" or "light brown", "blue" or "light/dark blue", and put in a comparison for the shade ("His fur was disheveled and light coffee-brown, helping him blend in with the surroundings as he lay on the sand." "Her eyes were a cold gray-blue lifeless and devoid of any emotion.")
