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?

A TV advert for hair conditioner describes it as smoothening from root to tip. Is this even a word?

James Corden gives me the rage, I couldn't bear to sit through a whole series with him in it. 😭

Gotten.no need
Ick.just stop
Cagoul. Fuck off. Its a raincoat

Dare l say this 😳? MN speak such as DH, DP, DD, DS etc.

God yes. I fucking hate that ‘I’m in the gang with my D abbreviations’ shit.

Yes, me too. It's awful.

One of my friends refers to her partner as 'himself'. I've rarely heard her refer to him by name, which l find a bit strange.

The worst thing is when they say "DH" on a thread about an "H" who's committing domestic abuse 😔

When someone is described as "padding" when walking round the house. I've read it in a few books and instantly makes me want to give up reading. So it will say for example 'Sophie padded into the living room'. I HATE it.

When people create new verbs out of a noun eg “mumming” derived from mum “ tantruming” derived from tantrum “ boobing” for breast feeding. I also can’t abide that awful “ hootenanny” word. I just can’t think about it without wanting to scream lol 😂. Some words just sound ridiculous!

Food related ones are my worst bugbears. They make me feel unwell sometimes. Any affectation or infantilised language around food or preparing it. I loathe cooking speak which involves a lot of throwing things in pans, or chucking things in the oven or bunging them in an air fryer. People do it with clothes as well eg throw on some jeans. It's so bloody affected. But precise descriptions of food, such as morsels or crumbs or bits. I had some crumbs of cake or picky bits on the side or a few morsels. Just a scraping of butter. Lashings of sauce. Oh God help me. And adjective use around food is tough too. Cooked beautifully. A gorgeous casserole. The tastiest pud. To name a few awful examples. That leads neatly onto abbreviations. Pud. Jacket pots. Toms. Spag bol. Painful.

I also have had enough of "bits". It's rife. Picky bits, just picked up a few bits from the shop, need a few more bits for Christmas. Bits. It's as fucking vague and desperately annoying as "nice".

I used to be a pedant (still am when it's appropriate, eg the BBC or published work) and would wince at desert vs dessert for example, but my dyslexic ds who hates himself for not understanding and cries every time he struggles (so daily) with language taught me a valuable lesson. He can't help it and my attitude has completely changed.

Swill
Mulch

urgghhhh to these two

These I don't mind so much, but what really grinds my gears is DCAT and DDOG and DNIECE and DNEPHEW. What the actual fuck?! 😂

Have we ever had DUNCLE and DAUNT?

LMFAO!!! 😂

“Stay safe” - said a lot during covid and now seems to be used mindlessly

We're pregnant

No, the man isn't pregnant!

”girls” anything - night in, night out, weekend etc

The phrase “Be Kind”

Veggies

All words written in the average LinkedIn post

😂😂😂

I only came here to see how long it took for 'moist' to appear. 2nd post, so I didn't read the rest. Glad I caught this one, though!

I've just made a delicious cake. It's lovely and moist 😏 Fancy a snack?

Ointment

Boobs, boobing, etc.

Lady garden 😱😱😱

@EvilElsa - I discovered I felt the same about the phrase, "padding around" when years ago Tony Blair had some sort of minor heart attack and they released a press statement saying the PM was out of bed and "padding around Downing Street". God knows why but it set my teeth on edge.

Also:

Panties (ewwww)
Veggies (especially if they are "nuked" in the microwave)
Saying a person died because they "bled out". (I blame ER)
Penis (I really wish the English word wasn't so repulsive sounding)
Boobs (would a grown woman refer to her "botty" or "bumbum"?)
Lush (said about food)

Sloppy

‘Snotty’ as in ‘the kids are snotty at the moment’ Also ‘snot’. Just writing the words makes me want to kill.

Not read whole thread, but one of mine is the word “simples” taken from the Meerkat language on the advert for Compare The Market.
So when a person is explaining to me how easy it is to do something, and they finish off their explanation by adding “simples”, as if I’m some kind of idiot that can’t comprehend an explanation or instruction.
Arrrrgh! … Sorry if that irritates too!
