To irrationally HATE this word...

Delicious. I fucking hate it man, it irritates the life out of me. I could literally put my fist through a brick wall when people say it, especially if they emphasise on the L. Awful, ugly word that should be banned from the planet forever.

Any words out there that make anyone rage? I believe moist is quite unpopular. But nothing tops the D word for me! :-)

Oh, and nourishing. So patronising.

longtimemarried · 03/04/2021 18:03

Yummy when said by an adult.

Mochudubh · 03/04/2021 18:04

Burglarized - only heard on American TV but makes me yell at the telly.

FriedEggs1 · 03/04/2021 18:05

Using "literally" in the wrong context.

Perfect. Everything is fucking perfect these days

People who greet women or both sexes 'Guys' as in hi guys. I am not a guy. Also ladies. Reminds me of Little Britain. Just start an email or say hello - hello name or just hello.

Mochudubh · 03/04/2021 18:07

And "functionality", it just sound wrong.

InsufferablePerformanceFather · 03/04/2021 18:07

The use of 'delicious' outside of a culinary context disgusts me.

Mochudubh · 03/04/2021 18:07

Sounds

Oh wow this word too! My husband uses it and It winds me up so much!
CheerfulBunny · 03/04/2021 18:55

It gives me the actual rage when people actually say actually all the actual time. They can't actually help themselves. Its to try and actually sound as if you know more than you actually do - actually.

God, yes. Nourishing.

Not a word, a phrase "exact same." Just no.

InglouriousBasterd · 03/04/2021 19:25

Ginormous. Even when I was little I used to get so angry when I heard it - it’s giant, or it’s enormous.

QuidditchQueen · 03/04/2021 19:28

‘poorly’ just ugh
‘safe’ -never want to hear that again, ever
‘the sniffles’ -user by the type of people who say ‘poorly’
‘dessert’ - just call it sugary crap!
didn’t get the problem with ‘moist’ but have never watched the baking shows

Chunkymenrock · 03/04/2021 19:50

Grown-ups. Fucking ridiculous. Just say adults, so you don't sound like a children's TV presenter.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 03/04/2021 20:00

'Biccies' as in, choccie biccies. In fact choccie is pretty irritating as well.

I feel angry just typing it.

Wotrewelookinat · 03/04/2021 20:03

‘Jab’
Hate it.
It’s a vaccination or an injection.
NOT A JAB.
And breathe.

Puddycatfan · 03/04/2021 21:27

"Moist" and "gusset". Especially when said together....

My favourite is probably "oblong" because I like the feel of it when I say it (I know how that makes me sound!!)

Mandem
Dear teenagers in my you don't live in South Central you live in England.

RhubarbCustardy · 03/04/2021 21:33

Moreish. Just why???

VienneseWhirligig · 03/04/2021 21:45

"Elevates" as in, adding a soupçon of truffle oil to the foie gras elevates it somewhat... yes, it's a bit niche, but it doesn't make it taller you pretentious tit, it changes the taste.

jessstan2 · 03/04/2021 21:48

'Tummy' from grown up people meaning their stomach or abdomen.

WellTidy · 03/04/2021 21:48

Little person - please just say ‘child’

My man/my hubby - please no

jessstan2 · 03/04/2021 21:49

PS: I meant 'adult' people, shouldn't have said 'grown up'.

Gosh
