Phrases or words you hate

[katie20202]

I absolutely loathe the word- moist

There's a "fashion expert" on QVC who always says

' wear this with a little heel '

Gets me annoyed each time

"We're pregnant"

Mixed bag - when someone can't be bothered to explain what was good and what was crap

Referring to items of clothing as “a piece”
Why not just say top/jacket/tee shirt or whatever. Is it more exclusive if it’s a piece? 🤷‍♀️

Newborn

'First post nails it!' as a reply to a thread. Or as I saw last week 'As usual first post nails it!'.

I don't know what it is about it but it does awful things to my blood pressure.

That's the kinda guy/gal I am
(bleugh)

Pimple
(yuck)

Babes/babe/hun or any other USA pet name bollocks

Any adding of an s to the end of a first name ... just one o me

Blessed. Especially when accompanied by a hashtag.

Twixmas, just seen it on another thread, sets my teeth on edge

Iconic. Sneak peak. Demure. Gracious. Unbelievably. Incredibly. Awesome.

I agree, I hate Meds as well.

Happy out
Om nom nom

Iconic is my absolute biggest hate. People have no imagination - interesting, celebrated, unique, unusual, first of its kind etc could be used but no, it's always bloody iconic. I always think of a painting of a saint and wonder what it's got to do with One Foot in the Grave (or whatever is supposedly 'iconic').

Gotten

I stop reading if a post contains in

When my dad died I just couldn't bear to say the word, it was just so impossible that the words 'dad' and 'died' belonged in the same sentence. Even now, 2 years later, I am still tearful writing the word. So I said 'passed' or 'passed on' for as long as I needed to. I would never judge the words a grieving person chooses to use.

Ditto

My dad died 2 years ago too. I had the opposite reaction and if anyone said ‘passed’ or ‘passed away’, it made me cross. He died. He didn’t ‘pass’ anywhere and I don’t need a euphemism for died or death.

“The salad was limp and flabby” said in many reviews by twats who read it elsewhere and think they are the next Jay Rayner.

Pregnant women who say they “just want to stay at home and nest”, I just instantly imagine a pregnant woman in one of her husbands baggy sweatshirts and lularoe leggings astride a nest in the lounge made from scatter cushions. Concerning parenthood as well I can’t bear the term ‘play date’, what happened to kids just having Darren over after school or Kelly going round Lucy’s for tea, where’s this formal play date crap come from. It kind of makes me feel kids aren’t allowed out these days unless escorted in an armoured van to someone’s house for their play date!

Fab.

It is such a 50 y.o.+ word

I just imagine an annoyed lady with a funky haircut who is demanding to speak with the manager.

Calling grown women a "little" anything. I've seen Amanda Holden called a little fitty for example. And I heard for the first time in ages Here Come The Girls by the Sugababes and they sing "I'm a little temptress" So infantilising.

Perfect

Gotten is a good word. I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it perfect though. Certainly useful.

I hear what you are saying, but....

Clearly not given your opinion a moment's thought.
