Mundane words you hate the sound of....

[MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel]

Is there a word you hate? When you say it, it just grates on you just irritates you?

For me, its the word "bottle".

I hate what it looks like, I hate saying the word, to me it just sounds like a silly word and irritates me when I have to use it.

Probably makes no sense, but please tell me I'm not alone with an irrational hatred of a mundane word.

@LunaNorth see also broil.

In the Midlands some people choose to call their young child "the babby" or "the bab" I hate this so much! A close family member refers to her 13 year old child as "the babby". 🙄

DH says oREGano just to wind me up. It works.

Yes. What nonsense.

😁

So many already mentioned on here give me the rage, meal (have always hated this, no idea why but arghh, just say you're going out for breakfast/lunch/dinner etc!) pop is another one I detest. One I haven't seen on this thread is baby, in the context of "how old is baby?" Why people can't say your baby or the baby is beyond me, it really grates on me!

'Holibobs' I just hate that f*ing word.

Another 'meal' hater here. My otherwise adorable MIL has a particular way of pronouncing it that somehow makes it worse.
Meeeaal...

Squirt

Such a horrible word. Australian colleague used it when going to the toilet. "Just going for a squirt before we leave".

Animals squirt venom.
Nothing nice is squirted!

I'm not keen on that word either. Since when did it become unfashionable to call it coleslaw? 🤔

Another thing I hate is the term ‘switch out’ or ‘swap out’.

’Looking for low-carb breakfast ideas? Why not swap out your waffles for some eggs over-easy and broiled bacon?’

argh

Flannel. Too many l's and n's to sit nicely on my ear! It just sounds weirder the more often you say it.

Turned around and said? Did you really or did you just say?

I struggle with ‘Lily’. I can’t get my tongue back into place in time for the second ‘l’. I always sound pissed when I say it.

@LunaNorth that proper gave me the rage. Throw in a quart of milk and a third of a cup of cilantro and I'm done

A stick of butter?

@fetchacloth probably because it sounds like coldsore 😁

Margarine, slacks and panty all make me want to be sick.

Even worse, pantyhose.

Or "Go ahead and".

Go ahead and add your stick of butter. at which point I will snap and kill everyone

‘From the get-go.’

😬

"Electric" when used in the context of "I don't have any money to pay the electric".

Pedantic me always wants to add "the electric what?"
