What completely inoffensive words can't you stand for no good reason?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

I cannot stand it when people say spuds instead of potatoes. No idea why, I just hate it!
Will the spuds be ready soon?
Just pick some spuds up while you're at the shop.
The spuds need peeling.
Etc etc 🤮 Awful!

Even typing this makes me shudder but almost all words ending in -elly. For some reason the word jelly doesn't bother me though.

'Funky' and 'trendy' make me dry heave.

'Tummy' instead of stomach when used by adults, usually when discussing health issues on TV. It's twee and tedious, dumbing down.

I hate it with a passion when people say bog for toilet. All the threads about bog roll when people were stockpiling made me clench my jaw so hard it practically seized shut.

feisty.

I hate the word smash when used in a political context, like smash capitalism, smash the patriarchy etc. It makes me cringe as most people don't really use the word much otherwise.

Chocs. Especially 'posh chocs' - surely no one says that aloud in real life.
Toms instead of tomatoes too.

Tummy, when the speaker is over 5.

Hubby/hubs and bubs/bubba.

I don't mind the word 'wow' or 'just' individually, but the combination of 'just wow' is horrible.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head... I’m just here to play MN bingo.
“Moist” “meal” and “gusset“ should all be along shortly!

Moist

Bingo!

"Picky tea" annoys me, but mainly because that isn't what we call it in our house.

And panties betty

Cusp

Nourishing

This thread is full of great ones!

I came here to say hubby. I also DESPISE cuppa.

When people say Crimble (Christmas), bubba, bib, hubby

Oh I have a real one actually. “Slacks” for trousers. He had a lovely pair of brown slacks on. Ugh

Frankly

I hate it so much and there is no good reason at all. I just hate it.

Also, I am fine with saying "I am so pissed off" or "I don't give a shit", but it makes me cringe when the words are used to describe urination or defecation. Which is really stupid, I know.

I agree with quite a few of these. Also, and this one's a bit odd, the word 'Traybake' is really grating on me at the moment. People on my local Facebook group have gone absolutely mad for 'traybakes' and 'old school cake' during the lockdown and I can't stand it! Maybe I've just seen it too much?!

Delicious. Especially when someone emphasises on every single syllable. It's a fucking disgusting word. Vile.

'Scalp' in shampoo adverts make me die inside i hate it, or when adults say poorly

Hollybobs
Drinkypoos

'Naice', I just can't stand it.

I hate food described as "beautiful", as in "oh that roast was beautiful Barbara"
