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!

Posh.

I can't bear it. Hard to decipher exactly why but maybe because it smacks of either a resentful chip on the shoulder or a cringe-inducing and misguided sort of aspiration.

Innit

Artisan.
You mean overpriced, pretentious and possibly badly made.

Oh and “pops” of colour. Read it in magazines all the time. Room is grey but with pops of colour. Grrrrr!

Nourish
Moist
Tender
Belly
Smelly
Pus
The phrase ‘popped your/my/her cherry‘
Knees up to indicate a party
Milky tea
Milky smiles
Milk teeth

@musicposy I came on to say the exact same thing - 'pop of colour' enrages me!

Since COVID on MN - special.

Flexitarian - it's just normal eating ffs
Hack, as in 'life hack'
Immense - when misused in place of 'brilliant' or 'excellent'
Supper - just bleugh! Hate it

@Thighmageddon I can't stand 'relax' or 'relaxed' either!! Enrages me!! It's too popular at the moment with the whole 'relaxing' lockdown theme!!!

Boozy and sleepy make me angry also...

My three particular loathed things people say at the moment are

Lol
Soz
my bad

I think the second two are probably because they feel like the person is insincere and taking the piss. You either want to apologise and mean it or you don't.

Lol is ok in a txt but it's not for its not for speech and anyway how often has lol (laugh out loud) been used to either describe something mildly amusing or just randomly at the end of a sentence as an alternative to using tone when someone wants to appear lighthearted or at least I assume that's why or else they just add it for no reason!

Hubs/hubby/hubster
Moist
Gusset
Panties

Yes to spuds!
Loo
Not even sure if it's still used but when people used to talk about 'bae' a couple of years ago...God I realise I must sound old now

Burger 🤢 I like eating them though

Oh no, knickers is a great word!

I’m the person who says toms...

Sobbing
Proper sobbing

Twee euphemisms such as Im going to drop the kids off at the pool. I know you mean you need a poo, quite why you need to share the fact with me is beyond me, I don't need, or want to know.

I dated someone once who wanted to do "naughties". My vagina clamped shut.

What does bae even mean?
That you can’t be arsed to say babe?

Slacks
Flaps
Having a pee/ slash
Peaky
Totes
I know, right?
Literally, basically or like being repeated over and over in the same sentence
My latest one is teens saying ‘yeet’!

Natter
Meal
Mug

Poorly used as an adjective

Belly

Boob used as a verb

Denims
