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!

Bloody movie. Everywhere in Britain. Whatever happened to a film? Call it a FILM!

Drop as in Sabrina Carpenter's new single will drop next Friday or the new series (not season) of whatever programme drops on Tuesday

Today years old - just utter nonsense

People who call Wetherspoons as Witherspoons.

People who say broccoli as broc-o-lie. It's broc-o-leigh.

The 'Weatherspoon' misspelling is mystifying too. Not exactly a difficult word.

This! & “chippy tea” makes me want to vomit. So does DDog 🤣

Gotten 🤯

Like. As in "When I was like 16 I went on a like date with a really like good looking guy. He was also like really sweet" so many podcasts and interviews I can no longer listen to as that word distracts me and angers me. Throw in some vocal fry and I could scream.

Agree with most of these except ‘Markies’ it’s a NE Scotland regional thing.

‘Supper’. Horrible word. Before about 6.30pm it’s tea and after that it’s dinner.

No idea why but 'comfy' but even worse 'comfies'. I think it sounds so twee and probably exacerbated by those awful bingo ads where some halfwit woman gets 'comfy' in her chair in the corner to play bingo online. Whole thing turns my stomach.

Also 'smellies' for bubble bath' shower gel, aftershave etc etc. I think I always associate it with the word 'smelly' which to me is always something unpleasant so makes me cringe when people talk about gifting 'smellies'.

I hate any word that contains "nourish". No idea why!

Again, two words rather than one but 'home alone'. Did anyone use this expression in real life before that ruddy film?!

'Nestled', especially in estate agents' blurb

I don't like 'pjs' either. Just say 'pyjamas'.

I also dislike 'wraparound care'.

Bog Waft Anus does sound like a nightmare of a man, to be fair.

Gotten. Makes my blood boil.

Gotten is perfectly correct lots of places. It died out in many parts of the UK, but it survived elsewhere.

We say Marksies for M&S
I loathe and despise the word hun

People who say Aldis, Tescos, Lidls and other shops which don’t have an S at the end.

Don't come to NE Scotland then 😅

We say "Markies".

Always been Markies with us

Detest "hubby"

Twixmas, hopefully won't hear it again for another 11 months.

Bestie

"So" at the beginning of every sentence.
