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)

I had an issue with the word Thumbelina.

Dimovichka is the Russian version, strong stress on the "ov."

And nom, particularly "nom nom nom" needs to be murdered to death until it's dead, then killed some more.

That's one of mine too. I just can't bear adults saying it, it's like still saying doggy for dog.

I also can't bear adults saying "yummy". It makes me cringe. Just use a proper grown up word, "delicious" or "tasty".

'Anyhoo'. Just f off with that one.

Invite..as I got an invite in the post..it's a flipping Invitation grrr

Jetted..we jetted to Spain instead of we flew to Spain

"Dance the night away"

Eurgh, such an overused, dated phrase. I still see it everywhere on adverts or websites for things like holidays or cruises or events at a local venue.

"During COVID times", can't stand that.

Me too.

Even worse is to just say "fall" without even the "pregnant" bit. As in "knowing my luck I'd fall straight away".

Most of mine are regional and (thankfully!) not often used now but wench, blart (Black Country word for cry) and slacks (trousers) all make me cringe.

Flavorful! I think it's a US term rather than British, as we tend to use flavoursome more... but I've spotted it creeping in and I hate it... 😬(Asda I am looking at you...)

Picky bits

Flange. I have an engineering background and but still a little piece of me cringes when I hear it.

I have evented many a flange and some gussets, when carrying out subsea pipeline and structure surveys.

Anything on, or near a pipe is "an event." Stop the video and click to "event." All events have strict naming conventions and my favourite is "Anode - 100% wasted."

I should probably grow up / get out more...

I agree about invite rather than invitation

Blart is kind of brilliant — does it imply messy, snotty bawling, or could you ‘blart’ decorously into a lace-trimmed hanky?

“Retro” is another one

In a previous job when my boss was going for lunch he would say “I’m going for a bite to eat” - it didn’t really bother me when he said it, as the words seemed ‘normal’ if that makes sense??

But another manager started to copy him & when he said the same sentence it honestly used to make me feel ill 😷 it just sounded really icky from him!!

'Famalam'. A woman I know puts that on her Facebook posts: 'my little famalam!' and it makes me want to bite the furniture.

Slacks! Not heard that in ages. Makes me think of beige polyester
