I fucking HATE this word (light hearted)

... delicious.

It gives me The Ick. Hate it. When I am Queen it shall be executed. Ironically I don't really mind the worst moist, which is universally hated. What words do you hate? Don't really like the word "meal" either. It's just so... weak.

@MzHz
Fully agree regards poorly.
Here in Scotland we don't hear it too much, thankfully.
I imagine it as someone has a cold but no, he's poorly; has cancer 🙄

There used to be an advert for sanitary towels where they used the word "panties" and said "tummies can feel bloated". 🤮 FFS we are women, not children, we dont need to hear "panties" or "tummies".

Come
coming

just in everyday life. I always say I’m on my way.. never I’m coming (because to me it means in the sex way)

Front bottom and winkie are both horrendous.

Lorraine Kelly on Celeb Gogglebox says in mock horror about piercings to her adult daughter On his winkie…!! Bloody idiot

Any correct words for genitals give me the ick.

Same here 😬

Don't know why. Just hate that word. Twee shite?

Tunnocksmallow · 28/05/2022 16:37

The word ‘nom’ 🤮 yuck, it makes me feel all punchy. I hate it.

Also the word 'stomach' being used for the abdominal area. Your stomach is literally a place inside your body where the food goes.

ah but for that you can blame all the MN posters who say they can't stand people using tummy (or belly) - it's a stomach fgs!

"Xmas" is just people showing off their high-falutin Greek/Early Church education Grin

Quite. I did know a family of evangelical Christians who not only objected to "Xmas" but wouldn't buy cards that said "Merry Christmas" rather than "Happy Christmas" because: "'Merry' implies getting drunk and you don't need to do that to celebrate Christmas".
Think I can guess where they stood on "Happy Holidays!".

Belly. Makes my skin crawl

Veryverycalmnow · 28/05/2022 16:51

Starseeking · 28/05/2022 16:53

I hate the word meal as well.

A family member always talks about:

  • having their meal
  • preparing their meal
  • enjoying their meal
  • finishing their meal

The word makes my skin crawl, and I don't know why!

DramaAlpaca · 28/05/2022 16:56

Poorly - I can't make myself say it
Hubby - so twee
Hun - I got called 'hun' on a thread the other day. Just no!

"Snotty" eggs.
I know what it means and it is descriptive, but it puts me off eating even properly cooked eggs.

Generally, anything comparing food to something revolting is a no-no for me, eg "Oooh! It looks like sick!" (I'm looking at you, you idiots on "Come Dine With Me" who "don't like it because I've never tried it).

APJ1 · 28/05/2022 17:11

Yummy and tasty are infuriating!
Fancy as in 'do you fancy going to...?'.

Soubriquet · 28/05/2022 17:12

Cigarette/fag

i hate those two words. If my dh is going to go out for a smoke, I have to ask him to say smoke.

ALongHardWinter · 28/05/2022 17:21

I too hate the words meal,and tummy. And also the phrase 'A bite to eat'. I don't know why but it infuriates me!

ALongHardWinter · 28/05/2022 17:23

Thought of another one,'chilling',as in when someone says they're 'chilling'. Just say you're relaxing ffs!

theDudesmummy · 28/05/2022 17:46

I don't like babytalk generally. However, as can be seen from my username, I make an exception for Mummy. It's a family thing, my mother called my grandmother Mummy until the day she died and I call my mother Mummy, even though I am nearly 60! (My brothers don't though, they call her Mother).

theDudesmummy · 28/05/2022 17:53

A thing I do really hate is when people try to sound more educated/formal or whatever, by saying (or more usually writing) utilised rather than used.
