Words you cannot bear to read or speak or hear

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?

Panties and belly for me.
DH comes from a family that say belly. 😭

Cars that bear stickers "Just One Life, Live It!"

A male and female Chav in the front, black SUV, probably seen better days. No fucking idea what living is all about.

@ElevenSeven I also hate 'fry it off' and have also heard 'cook it off'

Fry it or cook it FFS

I'll add 'pan-fried' on menus because what else are you going to fry it in?

Blart is kind of brilliant...

Ah.

Prepare to be saddened. In Newcastle, it means cunt. Much beloved of Sid the Sexists on the pull.

Was thinking the last one was a bit niche - sorry didn’t quote - the last line was ‘I’m going for a nap now’

RaininSummer · 03/01/2024 12:28

The word succulent makes me feel queasy if in relation to food.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 03/01/2024 12:28

fam (in any circumstances)
morn (as in "the next morn")
toms (for tomatoes)
text (as in "I text him yesterday")

But I have no objection to cheeseboard.

Yes to those two words. Awful. I hate them. I hated it in 2022 when people talking about the Platinum Jubilee called it the Platty Jubes. Made me feel stabby.

I thought back to the Platty Jubes when I was watching Chazza’s Corrybobbins.

If it means to cry in the Black Country, that must leads to some moments of extreme inter-regional confusion.😀

OP those words are pretty awful, I don’t like them either although ‘delicious’ is the least yuck.

I can’t stand the word ‘meal’. Even people saying that word can put me off them (although I do try and be sensible about it). It’s probably my most hated word. I just realised it’s also food related.

SagaNorensPorche · 03/01/2024 11:09

Discombobulated. It's rarely used correctly and I cringe when I see/hear it.

I like that word and have been using it lately 😁

SplendidUtterly · 03/01/2024 12:38

Fart
Panties
Snog
My Better half
Hubby
Picky bits/tea
Tinkley laugh
Shag

I could go on but i won't 😆

VesperLind · 03/01/2024 12:41

A poster on here some time ago asked for suggestions for “warm puds”.
No. Just no.

It makes me think of Mr Democracy Manifest! Always laugh at that video

Baby mamma / baby daddy.

Please, just go and decompose in a particularly noisome slurry pit.

A spread for a buffet

queenofthewild · 03/01/2024 12:25

"Rant over"

A full stop at the end of your sentence is sufficient thanks.

Agree! And usually no one else is arsed anyway

Couchant · 03/01/2024 12:46

Prodel · 03/01/2024 12:43

A spread for a buffet

Oh, that’s horrible.

Likewise a ‘do’ for a party.

DuchessPotato · 03/01/2024 12:48

Supper! It always sounds so pretentious.
