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?

What other word would you use for 'a meal' - if not 'meal?'

Is there any other word?

Whaaa? So toilet is 'common?' Who the F is deciding this?! 😆

It was on a thread last weak. Apparently posh kids say bog and that is OK. Luckily I don't care how I speak. I'm from the Midlands and not posh.

Ooh - one thing that does rankle me is when someone is telling someone they don't have to do something that they don't want to do, and says 'you have agency.' AGENCY. I fucking hate that phrase 'you have agency.' It just makes my skin crawl when I hear it. I don't know why! 😆

Yeah posh kids DON'T say 'bog' for the toilet. 😂

Sorry, name change fail. I'm Gonks. It was a funny thread.

My friend was a book editor.

One of the other editors was terrified of spiders and had to have post-its placed over images of them and even the word ‘spider’ (they worked in kids books so it did pop up once in a while).

Diaspora.

This word ruins my apetite, makes my teeth itch and boils my piss altogether whenever I see or hear people say it.

Bird/chick/hen/cow - when it's used to describe a woman.

'Apropos of nothing' is the wankiest phrase in history and people who use it sound like wankers and OTT.

My 6yr old hated the words "boney finger" from the book we read tonight....I totally get it!

I wince at 'idiot', 'hate', and 'stupid', especially in kids books and movies.

I cannot bear swear words.

And religion related words, when spoken as factual things/ happenings. Again- especially when little children parrot things they've accepted as facts in RE, because they are too young to grasp that they'd be taught something that may not be true (I.e. missed the 'some people believe' bit.

I HATE the word "lush". Just irritates me.

You're not a Gavin & Stacey fan then?

Ah ha. I see.

I luvs Gavin and Stacey me, truth be told.

Absolutely not! 😂

You have clearly not watched it. It's brilliant!

Poorly
Belly
Hehehe (when people type it on a text)
Sickie/germy/hurty - any unnecessary adding of -ie -y sound to words
Barbaric

@VWCVVCWV I dislike the word because of the way it sounds. I dislike the 'eel' sound, especially when dragged out. For some reason it makes me think of old potato skins. It doesn't sound like an appetising word at all.

No, it's not that! It just makes a hideous sound...meeeeel, mealy etc 🤢

Cook off, fry off, swop out etc... Bloody nothing wrong with simply cook, fry, swop. Stop adding extra wanky words.

Oh yes, that's something I dislike, too. Also, things like "sip on."

‘Judgey/judgy’ - I’ve only ever seen them on MN.

And ‘belly’, except in belly-dancer, when somehow it’s fine.
