One word in English you don't like

[Alondra]

Mine is "appropriately". It's commonly used by people explaining their thinking or belief, without giving consideration that the word has different meaning to millions of people with different cultures around the world.

Chowder

I hate period as well, nothing to do with the meaning, it's just such an ugly word, the letters are combined in a horrible way 😖

@Notknots Please who had the catchphrase " I'll get my coat"
Apols for off topic

Gusset is a great word!

Suggestion
i just can’t pronounce it as a foreigner. Instead saying I have a suggestion I have to say I have an idea.

Fur baby and Doggy / doggies

They are dogs. Or occasionally bitches. And I love them. But don’t ask how my ‘doggy’ is or my fur baby , ffs.

Sliver. As in a Sliver of cake 🤢 absolutely gross, and makes me have a very vivid mental image of those horrible little silver fish bugs. (Maybe because the word looks like silver and silver fish almost slither?)

Can't abide the term "picky tea".

Also cannot tolerate anyone over the age of 10 saying, "tummy". Unless speaking directly to a child.

Precocious when people think it means "naughty".

It's a word often refer to style. People often use it in English to judge how a woman looks/dresses/behaves by saying "she" looks appropriate. I've never seen it applied to a man.

Gobsmacked. It's sounds so stupid and rude. Just say astonished or amazed please.

Rhythm bugs me

Moist. I don't know why but it gives me the shudders.

Wages
loaf
portion
mortgage

"Blinking" when used instead of a swear word.

I don’t know if this counts as it’s more of a phrase but was looking for some nude work shoes, found some I quite liked but the colour way was described as “warm beige”. Reminded me of vomit. Revolting.

I did. Since men also often have dresscodes and places have rules about behaviour.
Even saw men being told off for not wearing appropriate clothes

Lounge: when used to describe a room in a house. Airports have lounges, houses have sitting rooms, living rooms, drawing rooms, parlours...

Little man.

Also as we are including misused words, "staycation" when referring to a holiday in the UK (I know I have lost this one) and "reasonable adjustments" when used as jargon, forgetting that the word "reasonable" is a qualifier and not a sort of passkey to demand anything you want because "you know your rights."

Staycation is so offensive, not everyone can afford a overseas holiday. And actually it's not good for the planet.

Hearty, like Hearty soup, what is that meant to actually mean??

Dribble or drool!

Flange

Ah yes. I forgot that one.

Chihuahua. Just why?!

😂🤣 ….sainsbos!! I’ve never heard or read that but that’s really made me laugh.

What kind of knobhead says ‘sainsbos’ 🤣

I really hate 'poorly' when it's used to describe ill health
