Slang words you hate!

[widgitfidgit]

Around my way people sometimes say "scran" meaning food. "Great scran here" "let's get some scran first".

I hate it. No idea why but the word goes through me.

Also hate when people say "ickle" and holibobs

My bad

Oh I have another. When people was to sound posh and instead of saying "restaurant" they pronounce it the French way, Just bugs the life out of me

Totes instead of totally.
Snackette.
Cheeky as in 'a cheeky Nando's'.
Numpty - I just don't like it.
Xtra

I say Golly gosh all the time! 😩

I see dialect as something different. To me saying like "back of ten" and barm/bap/bun are dialects

Words like scran, pit, holibobs and so on are just slang. And they are annoying

Bog
Bog roll
Innit
Fart
Pussy 🤢🤢

I don't think anyone is taking that away from you and I did say upthread that I wasn't sure 'the back of' constitutes slang. But there is also crossover and slang within dialects. For example, 'Chip butty' might be considered slang and belonging to a regional dialect.
@butelass has a different understanding of 'the back of' to you which has been my experience working in different parts of Scotland and finding it so confusing because it can mean different things.

Why all the hatred for lush?? I'm assuming none of you are from Bristol!

On the subject of Bristol, calling it 'Brizzle' is unacceptable even for people born and bred here, much less anyone else.

A bap is just a particular type of round, soft bread roll. What other regions might call a burger bun. That's not slang, it's well known that bread rolls have about a dozen regional names across the UK.

For all those who've mentioned this one, I see your 'hubby' and raise you 'hubster'.

Cossie livs was (I'm fairly sure) only ever said seriously once in some crap reality tv show (maybe TOWIE?) and was so ridiculous that it's now used as a joke. At least, I hope that's the case...

See @widgitfidgit I would consider Scran to be a Scottish word and not slang! I maintain there is a distinct crossover between slang and dialect!

Lush
Vile
Vom
Hub
Hubby
Bubs

I love scran though

Scrummy, nom nom, gobble. 😖

"Core" for abdomen. Abdomen is a thing. Whereas Apples have cores.
"Triggering" for upsetting. No guns involved.

'Spenny' for expensive

Oh I've never heard that one.

It's often used by influencers on Instagram 'it's quite Spenny hun'

Oh I inadvertently used another horrible slang word!

We've always said - feeling a bit peckish, that's not slang us it? (Probably!).

Elevenses isn't slang.

I do say lush, but I don't have an orange face or pouty lips. I described Zopiclone as lush on a thread earlier, because it is. Especially when you nod off with a smile on your face.

Having a 'swill' meaning having a quick wash.

Grim!

Kids is slang.

People should just say children. Won't please think of the children!

Not that kids bothers me.

Fanny. Hate it.

Guff 🤢

Oh yea. Hate this too. Makes you sound filthy.

100% 😁

I hate the word belly, I know it isn't slang as such, I just think it's awful!
And people saying 'like' and 'you know' after every other word! String a fucking sentence together! It makes me want to scream!
Hubster is another one... Ick!
I love scran, although I don't use it, but I've always assumed it was a Yorkshire word?

I hate hubby, hubster, holibobs, crotch goblins, preggers. To name a few.

Nom nom. Stop it.

Nosh was always used to mean blowjob when I was teenager. It always felt very uncomfortable / odd hearing it being used to mean food.
