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!

@YouHurtMeSoMuch you’ve reminded me of a time I heard a guy talking about a stag do he’d been on, and how he’d gone to a “titty bar”. It is such a vivid memory because I found it so utterly grotesque, despite being so insignificant in the grand scheme of my life 🤣

SDT, I did not know that. Thanks!

Always thought LOL meant lots of love, until I found out laugh out loud.

Also, I don’t get LOOOOOOOOLLLL.
I know it’s extra LOL, but still...

Fart

Absolutely makes me cringe. Children or DH don't say it either.

Awesome
Nom nom ( fuck off)
Loving your work
Sort your shit out

Fuck off to all of them.

Fleamaker

Agree, it's awful.

Belly, numpty, pop, holibobs, famalam, hubby

The usual - moist, gusset, panties.
Also flan and phlegm which i think is quite onomatapoeic.
Thought I was alone in my repulsion of 'moist' for many years, so was quite relieved to find out it's a thing!

"Binge watching" - completely vile.

Detest it when people say PACIFIC instead of specific, does my nut in.
MOIST - loathe that word.
FANNY PACK - just conjures up an image of a massive sanitary towel.

I also agree that people who avoid the word 'dead' or 'died' need a slap.

'Passed away' is bearable but 'passed' doesn't make sense.

"My uncle passed." Passed what? Wind? His driving test? The salt?

Famalam

Hun

Moist

"Jovial" causes me rage. Also panties, moist, belly and nom, they make me cringe.

Luffs , cannot stand it.

Hun, hollibobs, Chrimbo and variations of the aforementioned.
Also belly. Tummy is fine because. I one is pinpointing the stomach exactly, so tummy is a handy word to cover the whole digestive tract.
Sunners instead of sunglasses.

@buffalopuff she really does!
I also get a slap for calling her Barbara! 😂

"Kids" instead of children. I hate it and never use it.

"Snuggle"- especially if it involves hot chocolate and new pyjamas from a Christmas Eve box

I hate:

disgusting / disgusted - I think it's the "gus" sound, it sounds like throwing up to me

sarnie

spends for money or spendy, like "feeling spendy"

Can't stand lol - I know someone who uses it almost like punctuation!

cuppa

anything with the "ump" sound - hump, lump, chump etc. It just grates.

Goodness, I'm quite intolerant!

‘Making memories’ makes me want to projectile vomit.

There was a girl at school who hated ‘moist’ and ‘tissue’ a great deal, but she made the mistake of admitting it so everyone used to chase her around the playground yelling them at her, the poor thing

Dido. Don't you mean hot choc?

Ingress and proud (as in "that nail's proud" not "I'm proud of being a womble"), both said FAR too often by H one dull DIY weekend

That's a bit unfair. It's an unusual but correct usage.

"Nanny" or "Nan" for grandmother.

Also people saying ‘smash it’ / ‘you smashed it’ etc

Dido. Don't you mean hot choc?

Belly - immediately makes me think of a man with a big flabby overhanging beer gut, walking around without a top on.
Another one for giblets, and offal. Dentures.

fiddle

moist
super spreader
mouthing - i don't know if this is a common word now but I keep seeing it on some baby groups I'm in e.g. is your kid still mouthing. FFS just say is the kid still putting things in their mouth
