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!

'Plop'. Making me shudder just posting it! No idea why... but I remember being in infant school and having 'The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark' read to the class, and disliking the word even then (which is a shame because if anyone's not read it... the titular owl's name is Plop!)

Must be the addition of the 'L', as 'pop' sounds totally fine to me.

'morning'. And 'breath'. I've hated both words since as long as I can remember. Together= uuurgh!

I'm sure this has already. Even noted, but 'chillaxing' makes me shudder. Never will I ever chillax

Vulnerable. I never want to hear it again

Unprecedented. If I hear it again I shall scream.

"Let that sink in for a moment" As if the writer thinks the rest of us are so cognitively inept we can't process information at the same speed as them.

Oh yes, @HandfulOfFlowers "Let that sink in for a minute" makes me absolutely murderous. The writer obviously thinks they've come up with something really profound/clever/surprising/original (they never have) and the reader will have to overcome their shock/ prejudice /poor cognition to be able to absorb and comprehend it. The patronising wankshaft.

@NietzschePeachPearPlum so true! I actually think they just forgot to preface it with "I had to...." 😂

Toothpaste and breath

It's the 'th' sound that upsets me

Can't bear the word snack, and the even more preposterous 'snackish', I'm feeling snackish, NO, you're hungry! Peckish is nearly as bad, I don't really like words ending with ish very much at all
Selfish
Bookish
Wolfish

I don't like, and never use 'meal' and I can't stand people using twee shortenings or pronunciations like hubby, holibobs, yummy, scrummy etc

I seem to have developed a strange dislike for creme pronounced crem and towelette

opportunity.

I have absolutely no reason to dislike the word, but I do. It makes me shudder every time I hear it.

I dislike snack as well - such an ugly word. I also dislike "blank canvas", "flippy" skirt and the word "floppy" as well as many already mentioned.

"Moist" - just no. Lol.
"But hey ho" - I hear this everywhere and hate it!!
"Hun"
"Chick"

@OrinocoGlow lol at floppy

Oh and my DH and his family say phrases like "Aunt Tessa is feeling badly" when they mean "Aunt Tessa is feeling ill" - I'm like That's not even grammatically correct!!

'Anyways'. It's anyway FFS!!

"Hey ho" makes me seethe. It's even worse written down.

Mines more of a spelling one, but the use of "gorjuss" instead of gorgeous. It makes me shudder.

Unprecedented

I never want to hear that word again!

saying "this is tasty" (specifically the word 'tasty'), while smacking lips. urgh.

Bump uglies Cum/come Moist 🤢 Famalam bae Bestie totes. Eg:I'm totes emosh today. Fambam(just say family!) Sexy time naughty
