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.

Pudding is what its called. Dessert and afters make me cringe.(I know this is ridiculous-they are just words.)

Calling the Police "Feds".

You're in Britain and we don't have Federal Enforcement Agencies. We have the POLICE. Fucking Muppets.

Also:
Wembeley
Westminister
Assembelly

People are adding extra vowels everywhere! And not just in everyday speech - TV presenters are doing it. Grrr

@Cattenberg Oh, I'm so with you on "bits". For shopping and genitals.

So many triggers! Cuppa, bubba, baba.

'Been' when they mean being- I will eye roll at the incorrect they're/there/their type of error but 'been' triggers a rage.
'Other half' 🤢 and it's usually used by the 'making memories' type.

@HorribleHisTories15 'afters' is grim. Pudding or dessert are fine, afters is garbage.

Pudding sounds upper class and old-fashioned to me, unless we’re talking about Christmas pudding or sponge pudding. I’d never call a yogurt “pudding”, for example.

Yes!!

GIGGLE

'Come out with us... it'll be a giggle!!'

Nooooooooooo 😩😩😩😩😩

Maybe not mundane but I hate the word brunch and everything/ everyone that surrounds it.

Also small plate, big plate, with the price shown as say 8, rather than £8

Can't stand "pop" either. Recently Coronation Street have taken this to new, vomit-inducing levels by having the characters use the word "bob" every four seconds. Someone is always going to "bob on the kettle" or is "bobbing to the shop". Combine this with the "brews" they're always having and the shite acting and cast I'm finally ready to give up on it altogether.

As a huge dog lover I can't abide "fur-babies" or "rainbow bridges".

"Fly high" when someone (usually a total stranger) has died.

"Hey-ho" - for some reason I hear this a lot on Come Dine with Me and find myself hoping they'll get food poisoning.

"Chunks".

"Having a ball" (usually describing a mundane evening out).

"Cheeky" - particularly when men use it, for example having a "cheeky round of golf". I find myself hoping their penis will drop off.

😂

Don’t hold back, there.

@Backinntheroom , sorry, but my family was most definitely not landed gentry or anything like it, and it was always ‘pudding’ at home.

Panties 🤢

I know this isn't quite what was asked, but DP calls apple tart, apple cake because he doesn't like the word tart. I feel like bludgeoning him to death every time he says it ... which is a lot, because his mum always has apple TART in the house when we're there. Cakes are made of sponge. Sponge!! Most of the time. I do like an Eccles cake.

Sorry! I didn't mean to imply it was you or your family personally! Just a general observation about the use of pudding
I too am northern, so pudding was used. Sweet or desert was for the Southerners!

Chit chat

@Backinntheroom , we were southerners! London and nearby commuter areas.

The Chats

I don't mind chat or chatting, but making it a plural and Having The Chats just makes me want to tear my hair out.

Poop (too American)
Belly
Mam
Dirty fries

And mispronunciations of specific (pacific) and St Pancras (pancreas)

Chap or bloke instead of man
Fecal matter 🤮 I only ever heard this said by Aggie of Kim and Aggie but I've read it loads on here.

Well, I think “globule” and “squirt” are fabulous, onomatopoeic words!

Globule means little ball, so I can't see how it's onomatopoeic. I can just about see it for squirt...

Another vote for mac 'n' cheese - it's macaroni cheese

Oh yes!

"Grill cheese" is even more hateful. We were at some street market in London, two years ago and they had some food stalls, one of which was selling mackencheese and Grill Cheese.

I asked what it was, thinking Halloumi, or something like that. The beardy tosser explained and was quite upset when I told him he meant a cheese toastie, or a grilled cheese sandwich.

Twee as in 'that's a bit twee'

I had to ask a relative to stop saying it coz it bugs me.

Feisty.

It sounds like foisty, Geordie dialect, which means smelling of damp and mould, or generally stinky and unaired.

Bap, as in the bread product.
