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

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!

An expression rather than a word - I'm getting tired of hearing that things are 'beyond' something. 'That's beyond unreasonable' 'it's beyond expensive' etc.

It's beyond irritating!

“Roasties” when meaning roast potatoes! Roasties does not designate which vegetable is actually roasted so it is inaccurate PLUS how much extra efforts is it to say potatoes on the end??

If someone ever says that to me I always say “Sorry? Roast what?“ and make them say it and then “Oh! You mean roast potatoes! Well, why didn’t you say that?” ... I know it is an annoying thing to do but it just really irritates me when I hear people say it!!! It’s just bloody laziness not to say the full thing and be so vague!!

Oh and MIL here “Destructions” - meaning “Instructions” - why?? Does she think it is cute for a 70 year old to speak like a toddler??? DH said a few times early in our relationship.... he soon learnt not to!

Oh and another MIL one here “tuf” for tooth - Why does she do that??? Again does she think it is cute for a 70 year old woman to sound like a toddler?? Again I did the confused “Sorry? What did you say?” followed by “Oh TOOTH!” “Why did you say TUF? It’s TOOTH” and she has pretty much packed it in with me now. DH had more sense that to even start that using that one.

Just to note - I am not a total miserable old bat on everything but I just cannot stand words being used incorrectly - it makes my skin crawl and is like nails down a blackboard to me - have always been like that and will actively avoid people whenever possible that do it, it is way less stressful than digging my nails in my hands or clenching my jaws to stop myself correcting them. Exception is MIL who I can’t avoid and who I get on fine with apart from this sounding like a sodding toddler issue!! I don’t know why she does it?

Yous as plural 'you', sickst instead of sixth, anaestetic instead of anaesthetic

Tecksies for texts

One million percent

Smellies for perfume, soap etc.

I've just read a post where the the phrase 'going forward' was used and I now feel really angry!

I don't like it when people talk like they are teenagers (I am 22) I hate people saying (innit) 'Well but, yeah but ect
' shut up is the worst say it to my face and I slap you or anything that resembles Conteolling behaviours. Also hate adults forcing the controlling sayings and behaviours 'ie fake Facebook accounts' we all see through it get over yourself.

Calling old people seeeeeeen-yers. Drives me up the wall. In not too long when I’m officially old call me old or elderly, but not senior.

Another one is 'wait on' e.g. I'm waiting on a parcel. It's wait for, ffs. 'Wait on' should only be used about waiters/waitresses.

Blessed, especially when accompanied by a hashtag

"cheeky" as in cheeky pint or cheeky weekend away.

@Unobtainium Gahh!! I also hate 'treat'. I read it on Mumsnet all the time, but I don't think I've heard anyone say it in real life. Drives me mad.

I cannot bear it when, on someone's birthday people write 'I hope you get spoiled rotten'.
