What words grind your gears?

[RebeccaRose92]

For me it’s
plump
moist
clot
plunge
slosh

Obviously - so over used currently and is never used as it is intended.

Narrative
Stated
Purchased

In general I have no issue with those last three words at all.
However, there is a certain group of people who seem to have discovered them in last 3-5 years and over use them and do so with a knowing, wry smile as if to say they are more intelligent.
Half the time they sound ridiculous too. "I just spoke to Jean and she stated she wanted fish fingers for dinner."

Oh and ‘you do you’…..

Veggies. Even typing it made me cringe.

Gob or gobby (horrible words)
Minge
Tatties
Hubby (this one a million times over, it's pathetic, I do judge grown women who use this word. What's wrong with husband or his name?

Ickle as in ickle babba. Makes me want to vomit.

Oh and journey. If it doesn’t involve travelling from one place to another it’s not a journey.

Grind and gears when used together

Furbaby

Hun

Should of
Would of
Could of

Poorly
Chilly
Nice
Panties
Nom nom

Like, I dunno, like.

Can't stand the word belly. Just seems so common. When people say "as long as my kids have food in their bellies ".
Also can't stand the phrase " beautiful inside and out".

I never say anything because I know it's a not unreasonable, but...

I can't stand when the wrong context of a word is used. It's 'break' not 'brake' and 'losing' not 'loosing' etc.

irregardless - not even a word
Journey
C* word
Youse - (maybe an Australian thing? Means you people.)
That's life - belittling when I'm really down about something)

Youse is commonly used in Scotland although I don’t know how it’s spelt. I’ve seen ‘yews’ 🐑

Hubby
Panties
Tummy
Fork supper

Who actually uses the word panties?
What is a fork supper?

Little'un.

Nowadays

Wanting - e.g. "I'm wanting a new handbag". Why do you just say "I want a new handbag". I get irrationally irritate by this.

Artisan
curate
furbaby

'Gotten'. I hate it, I know it's only a word but can't understand how adults who have grown up in England/ the UK and spent their lives saying 'got', are now using this instead?

Broody
Horrid

Melanie
Lisa
simon
anthony

note, I know you asked about words, not names per se, and the names are linked with perfectly ok people, it’s just that lisa at school always had ear wax, so now lisa= ear wax in my mind. Simon=snivelly. Melanie =melons and lemons (both of which I like, bizarre). Anthony=ants nest.

the names are all young childhood associations. “Broody” makes me puke.

It's really fake and affected I think, like someone assuming a different accent.

Yummy, holibobs, lush, so (when starting every sentence), furbaby, hubby, beautiful couple, 'I did a thing', 'this one' when referring to a person, namaste, sic to name a few

'Grinds my gears' is awful too, my 14 year old YouTube addict son says this.

Hearty - as in hearty food what does that actually mean?

I agree. Also describing food as ‘honest’.
Reaching out is another expression I don’t like. What’s wrong with getting in touch?

Reach out sounds ridiculous really, like the Four Tops song says, you reach out if you're lonely, sad, need comfort.. not contacting your energy supplier to discuss a bill query.
