Words you don't like

[rach2713]

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 😂..

Lots there that I dislike.

My key one is “wellness”. I first became aware of it when I lived in Germany. They have a lot of “wellness clinics”. It makes me shudder. It seems it is a word and has become more popular over here in recent years too.

CarpeDiem. I agree with “so”, but have to actively stop myself from doing it . Exactly when did it become part of our language? It’s quite a recent thing, isn’t it?

Carpet*Dieum

Tummy
Pudding
Poorly

Cohort
Tribe
Shortening of school subjects, eg, bio, geog, chem..

Referring to school kids as professionals taking exams, eg, ‘good luck to all the chemists/mathematicians.. etc’ in their GCSE exams..

i cannot stand 'little man'

a boy child is not a little fecking man, they are a boy .....a little man is a dwarf ffs.

no idea why i loathe this so much but i do.

also bum..its bottom
also toilet/bathroom/little girls room..its loo or lavatory

Yummy. Makes me recoil every time I hear someone say it!
Yum is almost as bad but bearable.....

@midsomermurderess regarding "inappropriate": yes! I so agree with you that I had to check the username and date on your post in case this was a zombie thread and it was just me quoting myself

I reckon "problematic", in the sense of something that is a bit racist or sexist or otherwise un-woke, is the new "inappropriate" - it's got that same thing of pretending that the person who said it didn't make the judgement.

Bob which my ex now calls himself bobobobob ewwww

I agree about 'little man' for a male child. Putrid term. I am taking the 'little man' out in his pram. Barf

Tasty.

So
It's so overused and it makes me feel all on edge

Apart from when i use it in its proper context, obviously :)

Amazing - so overused. Every other thing/person is 'amazing' now. Find another adjective, FFS.

Pamper/pampering - probably because they so often refer to massages/spa days, which I hate the very thought of, since I loathe being (however gently) mauled about by strangers.

Oh the little man one reminded me of a couple others.

Wee man for a little boy and wain for child. Ma and Da for mum & dad.

I'm from Glasgow and these are heard every 20 seconds when you step out the house

unicornchaser how do you feel about "my wee da"? Not good I'm guessing

I agree with 'little man': it's cringetastic.

Crimbo
Crem (it's crematorium, show some respect)
Panties
Titties and boobies (makes me cringe)
Pus
Hun
Fur babies (makes me want to vomit)
Hubster
Little or lil man
My bad (your bad WHAT?)
Little boy's or girl's room - it's a toilet, lavatory or loo for god's sake
Terf
Looking at this list makes me realise I'm quite judgemental

I hate pretentious hipster terms used to describe food & drink. Such as:

smashed (avocado) - it's mashed!!
crushed (potatoes) - lumpy mash!
artisanal - wtf does that even MEAN?!
muddled - so, that'll be stirred then?
craft (beer) - just fuck off

I blame M&S. Bastards.

Oh, and still on the pretentious theme - curated. Usually in the context of some kind of wanky highbrow performances at such & such a theatre, CURATED by [insert well-known actor/musucian's name here] What's wrong with 'organised/put together by'?!

I feel much better for getting that all out there

@Bubblesinthetub even worse when it pronounced “little ‘un “ with a glottal stop in the “ little”

@IwantedtobeEmmaPeel

Were we separated at birth? Do you have the other half of my locket?
