Regular words that sound rude, offensive and sticky

[PinniGig]

Flannel. I hate the word “flannel” it's rank.

Curling. A friend of mine uses the minging term “Curling one out”

Banger. Used more commonly to describe a good song. “Absolute BANGER” sounds gross.

Taking a shit / took a shit. I hate that phrase. “Dogs have been out – took a massive shit right in the road”

One of my favourite words is “Confabulation” which sounds like a really offensive swear word you'd call someone with venom as in “You confabulating BASTARD”

I genuinely want to know what perfectly normal words or phrases make you wince and cover your ears.

I haven't heard any of those words being said before.

Sumptuous, I hate it. It just sounds awful.

I moved to Wales. They describe things they like as being ‘lush’ which could be about a meal they’ve just eaten or describing a baby.

Everything is ‘lush’ which to me is a misuse of the word.

Tho ha that the Welsh don’t like are ‘stinking’ which isn’t quite as overused as ‘lush’ but is just as irritating.

Really? None of them - not even "taking a shit" ?

I hear "Absolute banger" used all the time on the radio. Sarah Cox says it every day which is Radio 2 so more widespread. I suppose.

Confabulation is my favourite. I just love how it sounds. If you put real emphasis on the PH it sounds like a venemous swear word you really mean and pushed from the toes up. You confabulating TWAT!!

I heard it used during a meeting to discuss this lady's mental capacity and it sounded so brilliant I scribbled it down then straight after went and asked my boss "What does that mean? It sounds fantastic whatever it means but I need to know"

(false memories when someone has gaps in their memory which the person believes to have happened rather than an outright lie)

Lush gets on my tits. A more recent thing is people answering questions or starting to speak with “So...” it drives me nuts.

Steve Wright in the Afternoon makes me cringe if I happen to turn over as he says “Shout out” like “SHAAAAATT AAAAAAHHTT” oh fuck off Steve Wright in the Afternoon.

@Toddlerteaplease Yeah I get that. It's a bit Eewww

Not everyone in Wales uses lush. Its not used in the north. Just because Gavin and Stacey use it, people think the whole of wales do

Cillit Bang.

I didn't think of it being a purely welsh thing to be honest. I thought it became a more commonly used word on the back of Lush as in the shop full of gorgeous but slightly noxious cosmetics.

Imagine getting to adulthood and never hearing the word "flannel". Weird.

I hate the word "nutty" 🤮

I’m in South Wales and I hear it a lot.

Obtuse - for thick posh people.

Moist - just ick
Supper - sounds all sloppy and slurpy
Escutcheon - sounds like a Shakespearean insult

Oh my never use moist🤢

Moist. Just urgh.

Taking a piss. I hate the word piss.

And this is a random one but and then some. I just hate it when people say and then some.

Oh and pop by.

My partner does it 'I'm just popping by Tesco' shut up!

Genial. My mum uses it to describe every meeting she has with friends. I think of it as a cross between genital and venereal.

Unctuous. Hairy Bikers went through a phase of saying it about everything, pissed me off no end.
Yy to "shaahht aaahhht" 🤬

Picky bits

Doing my bits

Grabbing some bits

No.

Moist and gusset. Horrible individually and I don't ever want to see or hear them in the same sentence.

Lush is used a lot over the water in Bristol too, but definitely not N Wales.

Lush is a west country thing. Same with Gert. As in 'that gert big cake was proper lush'

No.

Picky bits makes my skin crawl. Or picky plate. Yuck.

I find "meal" really grating. And crustacean. It sounds like a crusty growth of some sort "I'm having this crustacean removed next week". 😂

Oh yes, and "goblet". Makes me think of a baby turkey.

I hate the word super. It just sounds ridiculous and wanky as fuck.
