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.

’Boon’ makes me go dizzy with cringe.

’Ooh, that new shuttle bus service is a boon.’

I just don’t know where to put myself when I hear it. It’s too awful.

@LunaNorth will you be my friend I just laughed so much I woke the cat up

Vacuum I saw hoover.

I have something similar with ‘rural’. I get a bit stranded in the ‘roo’ part and struggle to get to the end.

Go on then. I liked you from the get-go. Your friendship will be a boon.

<dies>

Clerk-with an American pronunciation

globule

I always get them mixed up and I think it’s because coleslaw is cold. Coldslaw.

I really hate the word ‘Cheers.’ It bothers me so much I can’t fucking stand it.

’BlackBarbies can you pass me that pen over there?’
’There you go.’
’Cheers.’

<hold the door open for someone>
’Cheers.’

Like just shut the fuck up!! Why can’t you just say thanks ffs

I sound so aggressive in that post but I really hate ‘Cheers’😂😅

Vacuum

I think there's an argument for the second syllable being it's own word.

@RoyGBivisacolorfulman yes! ‘He might turn around and say…’ where the hell does it come from?! just conjures up images of people whirling round every time they speak…

Also-

flaccid - there is no positive context for this monstrosity of a word

Condom. Such a stupid word!

Posh to describe food. Posh chocs 🤮
Choc
Hot choc
Choccie biccie 😭

Yeah I thought pudding was pretty normal 😬 "afters" makes my skin crawl

I didn't realise there were so many words I hate until I read this, however my contributions this great debate are snack, snacks and even worse, snax😖

Cuppa!
And... "are you ready for Christmas" - give a couple of months.

It's more phrases with me "if you know you know" "living my best life" 🤢 and for some reason "holyrood" really makes me cringe

God, ‘snack’.

‘We had peanut butter raisin cookies for snack.’

Ugh

Whatever
Seriously
Surely
Iconic
Perf

guess I’ve been around teenagers too much

‘So’ at the beginning of sentences and ‘super’ as an intensifier.

What do you do for work?
So, I’m a chicken sexer. It’s super-rewarding.

It seems nobody can start a sentence within prefixing it with "So..." these days

I don't like yum or yummy when they are said by adults. Yummy is something really little children say, so it sounds wrong to me when an adult says it.

I didn't realise I had this fear until I googled "fear of things with holes" to see the name of it... terrifying! 😳

Brum girl but hate the term 'the bab or worse the babbie.

My lovely sil used to say it and I hated it though love her

Yuk that's so1950s
