Anybody else have a word they can’t stand?

[Silverbook]

Two words I hate for reasons unknown to me - moist and buggy. No idea why.

By contrast, I love ‘bumble bee’ and again I have no justification.

Surely I’m not the only oddball who has this irrational like/dislike of words?

@Kleptronic

Start going for nuncheon

they bring a knife, you bring a gun

Scran

Irony or ironic

I never can properly understand the words, even with the dictionary definition

Yes! Definetly this, makes me shudder.

Also people using hyphenated y, like rage-y. It's everywhere now and makes me infuriated when I see it.

People saying " Are you me?" when someone else has had a similar or the same experience.

Or someone saying "This" to agree with someone.

Snatched (when describing a waist)
Vulva
Shitty (in certain circumstances)
Comfy/Uncomfy
Panties
Tits/Titties (in certain circumstances)
Pupper/Doggo
Kiddo
Anus/Anal
Snek
Clit
Cock

Any swear word used for the sake it of it. Drop something on your foot and say for example "Fuck it!" is appropriate

Someone saying "I went down to the shops and bought a fucking loaf of bread" is not.

Any "sexy" (it really isn't) talk in the bedroom especially if the word that is used " that pussy" for example.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Oh yes how could I forget Slit for vagina.

😂
Reiterating my hatred of "comfy" which is now almost universally used instead of comfortable, a word for adults 😛

Yummy.

Just had a thought, there are some words that I don’t hate in general but I do when they’re said in a particular way.

Nothing against the word ‘sandwich’ for example, but ‘sanwidge’ gives me the rage.

Also hate the following.

Yikes (you are not Shaggy on Scooby Doo!)
Oof (only see this as internet speak) presume it is pronounced as spelled to rhyme with roof)
Like every second word " I was like going the shop to buy like some food"

Panties, fannypack, brekkie.
My favourite word is serendipity.

Food
no idea why but I cringe if I have to say it

Comfy!!!

It’s on every shoe thread, can’t read them anymore 😫

Pastoral.

Snuck - it's sneaked, for heaven's sake.

"everyone is talking about [not very interesting thing]"

no they're not, you are.

Marketing/advertising words whose meanings have been devalued so much by their dishonest usage that they are now empty. For example: stunning, succulent (in any context other than horticulture), passionate, indulgent.

Also egregious. I’m convinced most people who use this either don’t know what it means or are trying to make themselves look clever. It really doesn’t mean much other than ‘appallingly bad’ and there are much more precise and imaginative ways of saying that.

Awesome and Hun

Narrative.

It's everywhere these days.

Poorly 🙄🙄🤮🤮

Agree, I hate panties, I only ever buy pantliners. And belly ! I have a tum.

Bump

I feel weird even typing it. There are lots of words that annoy me because of the concepts they represent ("influencers", clothes being "curated" etc) - but some words are unbearable just because of the shape and feel of them, and it has nothing to do with what they represent or 'mean'.

Bump is a classic example.

Overuse of the word weaponise.

And the phrase 'have a conversation ' overused as in we need a conversation about whatever political / Social issue.

Ablutions!

Umpteen.

"Yummy" and "Delish" get on my nerves, but the one that really irritates me is "poo". Nobody over the age of 3 should be using that word. It makes you sound like a toddler, it's infantilising, there is no 'nice' word for that function, so at least use one that makes you sound like the adult you are rather than some half-wit who never grew up. 😡
