[HowDairy]

We all know MN hates the word moist, but are there any others that you really dislike?

I don't like smear or seep.

Blue sky thinking or think outside the box it makes me mad

Pleasant/nice

Going forwards

No offence (probably means there’s going to be offence 😂)

Win/win. Moreish. Congratulations. Gusset. Sustenance. Gobble. Space cadet (to refer to someone whacky). Whacky. Lots more I’m sure

‘Norm’.
It never used to be a word I am sure!

That’s like “I’m not being nasty/racist/rude…” preceding a comment which is exactly that!

Yes no. Why do people say this all the time????

Or 'I'm not being funny but........"

People who start a sentence that is meant to be derogatory with the word sorry.

Sorry, but you brought it on yourself.

They're not sorry In fact they're the opposite of sorry.

Gobsmacked, not going to lie , gotten

"Points to ponder" gives me the rage.

likely will instead of probably will or it is likely to

Plate as a verb.
Piece as a word for an item of clothing.

Wondering what your issue is with gotten @ThesophisticatedJY?

"it is what it is". this is such a defeatist phrase and rarely the case. it really irritates me.

To me it sounds ugly , if that’s ok ?

I’m fine with moist

I can’t bear “snog” or the phrase “boyfriend and girlfriend” uttered by grown adults

Portion/helping/serving. Which is unfortunate because I work in a kitchen.

"Excited for"... this annoys the shit out of me too @igelkott2026

"Me either" - when people mean Neither.
"Based off of" - It's generally "based ON"
I'm sure there's many more that irritate me but this is all I've got so far

Road trip
Date night

Super meaning very

Anyways
Hubby
Woz you

Suck it and see

Hun, sounds so insincere

I came on this thread to say gobsmacked 😄.

I find it oddly revolting.

I fucking hate "silly" when not spoken to a child or animal. I don't know why but grown adults refering to anything is silly feels so twee and matronly.
