What words grind your gears?

[RebeccaRose92]

For me it’s
plump
moist
clot
plunge
slosh

Holibobs
Beeswax (when it's used in a cutesy way, as in "mind your own beeswax"). Grrr!

Supper

Used to describe anything that is not actual supper. (i.e crumpet before bed)

It's so pretentiously middle class and it makes me genuinely wish for a class war.

Prep
Sharing plate
Cheeky
Moist
My bad

Rant over at the end of a message.

A full stop is quite sufficient.

Navigate

Toilet…absolutely cringe when people use that word.
Snowflake used as a derogatory term . I genuinely think it makes a person sound rather stupid and lacking vocabulary.

Touch base
Going forward
brain storm
People literally throwing in the word ‘literally’ in the middle of a sentence
”how does that make you feel”
My toes curl when I hear someone calling their car by a human name
’Im not being funny but….’
’If you ask me …. (I didn’t and I wont)
’at the end of the day’
’so … basically’
POUNDSHOP TILL “ Would you like a pack of Kit Kats today for a pound “— fuck off

Holibobs
Coil
And "early bird special"

😂

Woke
Snowflake
Karen
Hubby
Holibobs

Oh and when people add "super"

"That was super tasty"
"This looks super cute"

And I just think

You sound super stupid! 😂

And wifey

If wifey had a super good early bird special on her holibobs.... I'd crack!

Mumsnet specific, but 'spoony fucker'. I don't know why I find it so irritating, possibly because it's a bit try-hard.

Curate/d
Babe/s
Pick your brain 😤
Killing time
Fur baby
'To be honest...' - err what else?
You know

All of the above make me feel
Stabby
(pretty sure someone can't stand that word)

Oh and
Lush (vom)

One that has emerged this year is toasty. I hate it.

Babe
Hubby
Wifey
Holibobs

There are a few more but I can't think just now, I'll come back with them

‘Grinds my gears’
Cis-

Maccies and brekkie

I don’t know whether it’s regional but I also hate it when people say they are having a ‘spot’ of lunch.
Also having a ‘munch’ when they are talking about eating something.

Snack

Booth
Poorly

Panties

Twee

Shitty
Boils my piss
Belly (except in ‘belly dancing’ which is allowed)
Vagina when used (so often!) by people who think they’re being ‘correct’ when they actually mean vulva.
Vulva - unless in a medical context I don’t like that either - why isn’t there a friendly, willy-equivalent, widely understood name for girls’ outer bits?

The C-word - I can never understand why women who would probably call themselves feminists, use a word meaning female genitals as a term of abuse.
