Snack and Irrational Word Hate

[TherightsideofHERstory]

I know I'm getting old and grumpy but the word "snack" makes me feel a bit stabby.

I never really had any irrational hatred of certain words before but just realised today that "snack" does it for me

Horrible word. If words had characters, "snack" would be a right smug bastard with a "told you so" attitude when it spoke to you and it would smirk a lot.

I know, I'm weird...

Snack is pretty bad.

Oh, saying 'snack' is deffo a hanging offence. I never use it (never snack).

YANBU at all! When I grew up snacks were so few and far between they didn’t really exist, you just had meals. Now they’re another food group and a necessary part of life. Also, it sounds a bit like smack, which is onomatopoeic. I’m as bonkers as you are!

I hate snack too. Ditto Sarnie. Ditto snaffle.

No.No.No.No.No.No.

I think part of it is that it's so ubiquitous now and it never was back in the day. Going out for an hour? "Take a snack" Car journey? "Snack" Shopping trip "Have a snack"

Stop with the snack. Perfectly happy for people to eat between meals if they choose, just stop giving it a stupid name:) (And under no circumstances replace it with "nibbly bits")

I grew up having a "snack lunch" which was a sandwich or scrambled egg/beans on toast. Something that wasn't classed as a full meal but was filling. Snacks between meals were a no-no.

Urgh to snaffle. Saw it on a thread recently and I had to leave the thread.

Mine is gift. Fucking hate that word. There is a thread on here at the moment and the word gift is mentioned soooooooo many times. It made me ragey and I had to leave the thread.

Snack isn't great.

I don’t use it or like it either. ‘Something to eat’ works perfectly well should you wish to talk about eating between meals. I can’t entirely hate it though as my little DD asks for snacks and when she says it, it sounds adorable (obviously biased here).

It's OK to have a snack, but it is never OK to snack.

Munch/munching. Makes me want to run away screaming.

And supper.
