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!

Also when did we all start taking decisions rather than making them?!

"Ridiculous" and "Ridiculously".

Both perfectly normal words but have become so over-used (especially on MN) that I can't stand them.

"He's ridiculously tall."
"I am so tired. It's ridiculous."

On the bright side, the use of "super" instead of "very" has at least reduced a little.

I like Tummy but usually say Guts if referring to a pain or upset, as in 'something's upset my guts'!
Hubby
Dear meaning expensive

When people say “pegs” instead of teeth. I’ve struggled to even type it out!

Belly - just NO!!!!!
Stomach or tummy or whatever - but BELLY FFS!!!!!!

Knickers- hate this word
Boobs
Bum

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

I've also always hated the word giblets.

Bantz, amazeballs, totes, emosh, super anything (super amazing, super quick) life hack - it's not a hack, it's a tip.

Sourced - I sourced some avocados. No you went to the shop and bought them. You did not hack your way through the Amazon with a machete and a native tribesman to guide you.

Guts is another that gives me the heebiejeebies.

'Horny' as in attractive , my ex boss used to say this about any good looking men that appeared in the office used to make me cringe !

Discharge
Hun
Chillax
Cool beans

Little man for baby boy makes me cringe too

Pussy

In whatever context 😷

I hate the word twee. I don't know why. I just hate hearing it and seeing it.

@HopefulMidwife

There is a boarding cattery nearby called Pussy Palace. Every time I drive past it makes me cringe.

I'm so glad that "tummy" has made several appearances.

Even though it was about 2 years ago it still grates on me that a 40-odd year old, high flying lawyer working in Central London once emailed a bunch of us saying that he was "out of the office today with a tummy bug" especially as he isn't even from an area that uses "tummy" as their regional dialect (I know because we're from the same area)

In the wrong - just say wrong, why the need for superfluous words??

Panties

So many of these:

• Moist
• Tasty
• Tummy
• Stew ( DH calls anything one pot stew and it sets my teeth on edge as hate stew)

Little Man... No!

Baby dance
Baby dust
Hun or hon
Bite to eat

Ahhh and breathe

I hate LUSH! So over used!

'pension pot'.

I can't stand it. Especially when said by Gordon Brown who seems like a perfectly nice man.

Brekkie
Veggies
Cheeky, as in a cheeky drink
Boobies
Pig out
Treat food referred to as 'naughty' or 'bad'

Ah, bless
The big C

I hate the word Cupping , that weird fertility therapy thing that they do in America particularly famous actresses.
