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.

This is Anerican. Calling tights panty hose and pronouncing it "panny hose".

Poorly.

Grow up.

PurpleButterflyWings · 28/05/2022 21:59

Can't see a problem with 'poorly.' That's regional. My great aunt says that, and she is 93. Should she 'grow up' @thecatsthecats ?

Having ‘a meal’. 🤢

Oh yes.

"Will you have had your meal when you
arrive?"

🤮

PurpleButterflyWings · 28/05/2022 22:15

What's wrong with saying 'having a meal?' Confused and 'will you have had your meal when you arrive?' What am I missing?

MsCupcake · 28/05/2022 22:15

I can’t stand the word portion, even thinking about it makes me feel odd.

Noglassjustthebottleandastraw · 28/05/2022 22:19

When people say.... Nom Nom Nom 🤢 like seriously! What is wrong with them it's such a disgusting word. Speak like a adult please!

CambsAlways · 28/05/2022 22:20

Furbabies, moist. Panties. Hubby. Kiddies, lush, grandma grandpa bloke the list goes on 🤣🤣

thistimelastweek · 28/05/2022 22:21

Smelly.

Everything about the word makes me cringe.

Kenworthington · 28/05/2022 22:21

Yummy

and…. For different reasons… fluids 🤢

ATadConfused · 28/05/2022 22:40

I dislike moist.

but the one that winds me up 0-100 in a second is (ironically) chillax. Fortunately it seems to have (mostly) had it's day.

Awesome - cannot stand it.

Delish - just say delicious, ffs.

Holibobs - same as delish.

PurpleButterflyWings · 28/05/2022 22:51

Sooooo many!

When people say... 'I'm taking the flimsy nets down, 'because cats.' or 'I am taking my umbrella 'because weather!'

'Team work makes the dream work.'

People saying 'LOL' out loud. (Or OMG!)

Nom nom nom

I'm dead! (When someone find something hilarious.)

I hate the word BREAST/BREASTS too. Prefer boobs. Also hate vulva and vagina and penis! As a few others have said, the official words just irk me.

Irregardless (is that even a word?'

'A not insignificant amount.' (So a significant amount then?!)

People need to be more 'transparent.' (What? they need to turn into a window?)

Preggo

Bae

Slay

You do you. (What the FUCK does that mean?) Confused

It is what it is...

So I did a thing

I was today years old

Baby daddy

Fur baby

Life hack

At the end of the day

Adulting

It's just so 'chef's kiss.'

Low hanging fruit

The new normal

Think outside the box

Reach out

People saying I’M 40% IRISH, 25% ITALIAN, 25% NIGERIAN, AND 10% GERMAN.” No you are 100% American/British/whatever country you were born and raised in. (I'm looking at YOU Joe Biden, you are not Irish!!!!)

Win-win.

Is it hot enough for ya? (when it's over 85 F!)

'Can I pick your brain?' (Just ewwwwww.)

I actually can't bring myself to say the words

Fluxcapacitator · 28/05/2022 23:03

Also 'done', as in "we've done Disney" and "done everest" and " i want to do glasto", DO YOU MEAN YOUVE 'BEEN TO'??????

pastypirate · 28/05/2022 23:05

Belly. Tummy is awful but belly is the worst. I have to say 'stomach piercing'.

Actually the word I really can't stand is 'gilet' as in a coat with no arms. I mean wtf. 'Body Warmer' is sufficient.

pastypirate · 28/05/2022 23:08

I also find the constant repetition of cliched phrases very irritating. For example I was listening to grandparents watching a small boy play football. Eventually the phrase 'on me 'ead son' was used. I know I'm irrational. Any of these phrases cause the same irritation. There was a thread recently about not understanding small talk. I fully understood where the op was coming from.

pastypirate · 28/05/2022 23:08

Smelly. God I can't stand it.

Shodan · 28/05/2022 23:18

Munch/munching.

As in : I'm sitting here munching on a delicious bowl of grapes. It sounds so smug.

Vulva.

Discrete (only when written though. It is NOT the same as discreet.)

But I bloody love the word moist. Especially when used in conjunction with 'towelette'.

Moist towelette. Best phrase ever Grin

Alphavilla · 28/05/2022 23:23

Grumpy. Just polite way of saying shitty moody rude controlling arsehole. My hubby gets grumpy if i go out. No he's just a controlling prick.
