Words you don't like

[Anewnamejustforthis]

With thanks to @DebbieTheCat for the inspiration, how about a list of the words you really can't be doing with?

Top of my list would be "problematic" - the whole beige, head-tilted, be kind-ness of it just annoys me!

Secretary being pronounced as 'sec-a-tary' does my head in.

Lifestyle admin - oh please

That's a new one for me, what's it supposed to mean?

Anything from Vicky Pattisons mouth - worst Geordie accent ever.

You've obviously never been to Scotswood!

Bliss
Yay
Picky bits
mamma bear
hubby
sups/supper

It means putting a bill in a folder. Some people want a medal for doing this.

My usual contribution to these threads: journey, unless it involves actual travel.

Triggered - which is ironic really.

When someone spells something out that starts with 'h' and says 'Haitch' instead of 'aitch' makes me twitch (primary school teacher who teaches phonics daily).

All swear words.
Flavourfull !?
To speak "around" a topic instead of about it.
Misinformation and disinformation.

Hubby (and Hubs for that matter) and Hun - they just sound how you talk to a child.

Safeguarding? Why? What word would you use instead?

Little ones

Does 'drinky-poos' grate with anyone? I have little opportunity to say it aloud but I certainly think it.

Stunning
Moist
Vagina
Sloppy
Penis

There's a time and a place where I just adore the word c*nt. (You either love it or hate it)

I say ' little ones ' all the time 😆. Just saw that. It's sometimes to cover up my terrible memory problems ref other kids' names.

Any time a singular is used when it should be plural - “a red lip” “a nude heel” “a trouser”.

Also “cuppa” - awful word.

This is not going to go down well here but vulva sets my teeth on edge. I don't know why, but I hate it. Not that I have to use it much but I prefer to use genital area (to a HCP), or informally my fanny, my privates 'down there' or my nether regions.

It's not a word but 'PJs' as in pyjamas. Grrr! Just say the word! 'Jammies' is almost as contemptible.

Milf (feel its degrading when a guy calls me that)
Baby (when a partner calls you that)
Baby girl (when a partner calls you that)
Yummy mummy (men describe you as that)
Moist ( just makes me cringe)

I used to work with a girl who disliked 'moist'. She would visibly cringe if someone said it, even inadvertently.

Fab.

"sick" as in great. That film was sick.

Holibobs
The term happy holidays for Christmas.
Chinky for Chineset takeaway
Cheeky_ - insert a food or drink, cheeky gin, cheeky chocolate. cheeky takeaway

When someone on here describes someone as ‘rank’. I always think it makes them sound as common as muck

Describes SOMETHING as rank
