Gristle for me! If I happen to bite into a bit with my roast chicken it makes me seriously consider going vegan. Happened tonight. Im still traumatised. Barf.

Boobing - just boobing the baby bubba to sleep

Boobed - I'll be with you when I've boobed the baby.

TBH I think that anyone other than a 12 year old boy with a calculator (showing my age here!) who refers to breasts as "boobs" is just weird.

Oh yes and another vote for passed/ passed away. No. He or she died! So incredibly rude and insulting.
Cringe when you mean cringe worthy and similarly :
Cliché for clichéd
Text as past tense of text.

@RosieCockle this made me laugh! Once you've noticed it it's enough to drive you insane. My step mum has recently started to do it (she doesn't watch R&F) and I'm not joking on the phone earlier she must've said it 15 times, I'm definitely going to have to mention it. Everything I said she was replying - yeah 100 percent arrrrggghhhh!!! She lovely but also calls me 'hun' (texts and verbally) which grates on me too FFS

The word 'poppet'. I have a male friend who used to say 'Hello poppet' to me and it made me cringe. Eventually I asked him not to say it,and he mostly remembers but occasionally slips up. I think it sounds so condescending.
