Words MN has made you dislike

[dexterslockedintheshedagain]

Just reading through a couple of threads, and realised that, due to their (over)use on MN, there are some words that now make my teeth itch.

Words like 'gentle' (I see it as quite PA) and 'yummy' (always makes me think of some Lycra clad female jogging with a pushchair for some reason).

Am I alone in this, or do others have words they've come to dislike too?

Ha me too

Just wow. What a mind blowingly irritating statement.

Idespairofthehumanrace-the misuse of sat is the worst. It's been driving me insane for years. I actually had a row with dd the other day when she tried to tell me I was wrong about it. It's everywhere!!

I have to agree that the darked on washing, and spider willies, has been overdone!

So many, but off the top of my head:

Mental load
Division of labour
Spends
Pool - as in money

Oh, and "are you on glue?"

Fucking ‘Twas’ especially the phrase ‘Twas ever thus’ 🤮

Goady makes me cringe like everyone is just so easily tipped over the edge by a post

Vile is overused

And the phrase ‘I hope you don’t have kids’ usually said over something minor you disagree on parenting wise, very ott

‘Going no/low contact’

Oh and ‘Hairy knuckles’

Lighthearted. It often seems to mean “I’m starting a debate on something interesting that is worthy of serious discussion. Actually no I’m not taking it seriously at all!”

I quite like “the ick”! Great phrase to describe the feeling.

Mom

It's mum!!

Picky tea.

My SIL says this in real life. "Oh, we're just having a picky tea tonight."

Makes me want to scream

I’d have her arrested

More of a phrase....didn't want to read and run.

snowflake

Ddog!! Just say dog! It's so twee and ridiculous. And Dcat. Not every living thing needs the addition. I've yet to see someone refer to themselves as Dme

Not if you're from the West Midlands it's not!

Also when the relevant expert wanders in and deigns to grace the post with their presence... e.g teacher here, man here etc

Thank fuck the cavalry is here.....

Handmaiden.

'Why did you marry a man child?' maybe because they didn't realise he was going to turn into a lazy useless lump and leave her to do all the work with the kids because they didn't have a fucking crystal ball?

Cross. No one in real life says that (well not around me anyway.) just sounds so old fashioned 'I'm so cross!'

I'm pissed off sounds much better.

Hubby
Picky bits
Taxi (no idea why. It's a perfectly normal word. I just say cab)
Gently (passive aggressive)
'This.'
Misogynistic (seems like everyone's buzzword)

'You knew he had kids when you married him'

Ok that's lots of words strung together but please fuck off.

Cool girl or cool wife

Sorry @esoryelneh, I say I’m cross. It means something different to pissed off - which I also say.

Also one to add. It's not a word but when people say 'I've been communicating with my friend via email / send your friend and email'

Just text the person god damn

Most of the USA call their moms “Mom,” @BorisJohnsonsvomitbucket, FYI.

I don’t know why that would be so irritating to you.

Tinkly laugh.

Ugh.
