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!

Hun/hunny
Lil man
Hubster/hubby
Gin o ‘clock/wine o’clock
Babe
Lol

But particularly when it’s unnecessary. Like cat just died lol. Erm no.

Or when you see those bracelets that say things like

‘When you are feeling down, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown’ is it supposed to be inspiring? It comes across as mildly threatening.

Any corporate-speak. Was just buying something online today and the company wanted me to know that it came in 7 'colourways'. Aaaargh.

My teeth go soft at a few of the words already mentioned. I don’t think these have already been posted

Nice
Botch - as in botched job
Guffed - teenager speak for farted
Tarmac
Congealed

I had an Auntie Barbara. Her cooking could never be described as ‘beautiful’. Whenever there was a family celebration Auntie Barbara would insist we all went round for ‘Supper’. We would all sit and try to eat the unidentifiable matter on our plates 🙈

When DH and I became engaged we were summoned to Auntie Barbara’s for supper. When we had eaten as much as we could stomach, without throwing up, DH said, “Thank you Barbara. That was lovely”. Doing his best to be polite. She replied, “You bloody liar!” 😂😂😂

She was the worlds worst cook but she tried her best, bless her 😇

Leverage (pronounced leveridge)
Obviously (when it really isn't obvious)

Kids (unless applied to young goats)

When girls call each other beaut
Makes me crunch!!!

Thanks beaut!

Grow up!!!!

Crinch not crunch

The name Clara.

I just cant bear it.

Opaque. No idea why though....

I hate shortened words especially hot choc or chocs. It’s chocolate stop being lazy. Also soothe or soothing so annoying!

Concur

Said by idiots promoted beyond their capability in meetings where they want to be noticed, but haven't the wit to absorb and regurgitate what the other idiot said. As in "we should consider the wider implications of implementing wider implications" and after that nonsense you always get some one saying "I concur".

Being called "lovely" or "lovely lady". I'm not lovely! I'm a mean aul wench.

Panties 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤫🤫🤫🤢🤢🤢 FGS just say knickers

Come Came ..... I never say the words they just mean orgasiming to me even the innocent I came out without a coat ... I can't bloody cope with them

Holibobs is another one I cnt stand, just say holiday!! Ffs

Babe and hun

Also the word broccoli, such a strange word.....broccoli

Phrases really:
Off of as in "off of the tv"
Sit off

Two weight loss related phrases:

"Muscle weighs heavier than fat"

"Eat less, move more."

Encrusted. I want no item of clothing (and it's usually sandals) that is encrusted with anything thank you, however sparkly the encrustations may be.

And yy to hubby/hubster/hun/babe.

I made a lovely new friend in a Facebook group I was in a few years ago. We were totally on the same wavelength in every way, particularly sense of humour-wise. When DH was ill with flu, she sent me a message that went something like 'hope hubster's feeling better hun xx'. I sent something back like 'thnx hun, hubby is not flyin high wiv da angels just yet' because (thanks to our same wavelength/humour) I thought she was having a laugh. She wasn't. It's how she speaks. In real life, too.

"Crinch not crunch"

Or even cringe?

I hate the word "floaty". I don't know why but it genuinely makes me angry. Floaty dresses and tops can fuck right off.

Lush. Makes me cringe and want to punch something.

Although the actual shop named lush is fine.

I know this is a Mumsnet bingo, but panties. Knickers / underwear / pants all fine. Panties makes me cringe.

Me too, and pantyhose (which is what tights are called here)

'Journey' as a pretentious way to describe a personal experience.

Oh yes, that gets me too.

For some reason I don't like the word 'delightful' and if someone tells me I look 'smart' I want to get changed to not look smart.

I hate 'Brew' and 'meal' for some reason
My DF always saying he's just having his meal and I always silently scream

Loathe it when people start a sentence with So.
