My husband thinks I'm funny but I HATE the word (autumnal) and if he uses it makes me mad or if I hear it make any eyes roll and I don't know why as it's just a word 😂..

As a child my favourite word was "semidetached".

My husband hates the words bistro, al la Carte, ham and pork 😆

I hate the word "poo". To the point where I'd almost rather teach my kids the word "shit" instead! 

ildaogden · 25/10/2018 20:31

I physically shudder when I hear the swear word that rhymes with punt.

'inappropriate': it mostly seems to be used to mean something the speaker doesn't like but can't actually say why, largely because they just don't approve of or like something. A cowardly word.

Supper
Belly

‘Hubby’ makes me want to scream whenever I see it written down. Don’t think anyone I know uses it when speaking out loud thank god!!
Phlegm

Aarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhh

upaladderagain · 26/10/2018 13:42

Almost all those already mentioned, although I actually like moist. Does that make me weird??
What I really hate is ‘caring’ applied to inanimate objects like shampoo. They CAN’T care - they don’t have feelings ffs!
