Words you cannot bear to read or speak or hear

[squinker45]

I cannot bear to read or speak or hear some food related words. It is difficult for me to write them as I feel so ick about them but here goes:

Tasty
Delicious
Sweet treats (or just treats)
Snack
Yum
Nom
That slurpy face emoji (I refuse to put it here)

Uuuuuuurgh I feel ill now

What is wrong with me? Anyone else or am I a massive weirdo?

Also -
Gifted
Can I get (instead of "May I have"
Journey (weight-loss/pregnancy, whatever)
choccies
bickies
Rocked up (he rocked up to the party)
Showcase (she showcased her curves, etc)

Words that people add "ies" to it - jellies, chocies, roasties, etc.

When people say "Rocked up", I imagine them as Disco Stu from the Simpson.

Absolutely hate the word 'portion'. When we go out to the cafe my friend always asks for a 'portion of chips' and it makes me weird.

'Meal'. Dinner, lunch tea, all fine. Just can't say meal. From these threads I can tell a dislike of this word is fairly common, so I'm glad I'm not alone!

I feel similar about 'apportion'.

One of the first threads I read on MN was an OP saying she'd been at a restaurant with her DH and their child ran off.

Her question was, "How to apportion blame?" 🤮🤣

Yorkies
Pud
Nosh

"If that makes sense?" Tilty head movement-especially if what they've just said is so simple a child could understand - it's OK I'm not completely hard of understanding

And the other one is "obviously" just to make out they're so supremely intelligent, it's as clear as night follows day - no, it isn't obvious to me, but that doesn't make me thick. You're just a dick!

My friend's like this with "veggies", I always have to catch myself before I say it. Maybe you're her? 🤔

For me, "large of nork"- which I have only ever seen on here- makes me shudder! It's just so revolting, somehow.

It makes me shiver when people talk about going for a “meal out” or a restaurant that does a “nice meal”. Awful!

The 'T' word? I hate this too!

Panties
Treats
Picky bits
Yummy/scrumpy
Poo
All get me cringing

Yes but maybe Mummy would have been a better word to use 😂

Oh more are coming up now!! So many.

Portion

Breast

Meal

Rent in place of let. The tenant rents the flat, that landlord lets it.

Yes, yes, yes! But I fear we're in the minority, sadly.

Also "utterly horrid". Used on here by fully grown adults all the time. It makes the user sound like a petulant child.

Odd. Odd. Everything is odd. How odd. Isn't it just terribly odd?!?! Argh!!

No, just a certain animal.

What's the consensus on sprocket?

It doesn't bother me, but I know a moist / gusset hater who also loathes the word sprocket.

When people say 'that made me howl'. It's a weird one to visualise.

When adults say “sweeties” instead of sweets. My old boss used to say “ooo, sweeties” and it made me feel ill!

When men say "we're pregnant" ...so wrong, it makes me cringe!

Somethink instead of something

Adding a 's' to things that don't need an s...like 'I'm going to Asda's'

God help you all if you ever find picky bits in your panties

I love this! It's very common in London.
Asda's, Markses, Tesco's. I definitely say Tesco's!
