Words (and phrases) you dislike

[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.

Meant to add I can swear like a trooper but the c word really grates and makes me cringe for some unknown reason
that’s me done for today😊

Is it possibly because "excited about" sounds every so slightly keen and wet? Idk, it's a weird and quite subtle one. Like "excited to" "excited for" to me sound like things you could get away with in a particularly lick-arsey covering letter, but being "excited about" something tips over into mild cringe. And don't get me started on "excited by" which sounds faintly sexy.

Yeah, perfectly ok. I was only asking!

Boundaries! Unless talking about land boundaries.

Saying at the end of a sentence - “and all that jazz”, I’ve got a friend who says it all the time and it makes me cringe.

Meal
dipping in (to ones savings)
holibobs

..and breathe..

"On the boob"
"Change his bum"

“If I’m honest” “To be honest” “Plenty” of anything.

“Long story short.”

It never is!

I came here to say "reached out". What's wrong with 'contacted'?

In the trenches makes my teeth itch. Makes my teeth itch, boils my piss. Boils my piss makes me boak. Boak has me fumming. Fumming has me shaking and sobbing. Shaking and sobbing really grinds my gears.

Not gonna lie, I can't lie, iconic.

Boils my piss is so crude and crass

Flavourful, the correct. British term is flavoursome

“It is what it is”
But I use it all the time 😂😫

Ride or die

Giving as in it is giving bad energy or something else that it reminds them of.

Off of
gotten
any use of cliche in written context (ok to speak it)
The widespread use of ‘super’ generally in front of another adjective.
Holibobs
Hubby

Moreish
Light and airy
My bad
My truth.

Someone “has form” 🙄🙄🙄

Myself/ yourself instead of using me/you as would be GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT!

Yes the myself and yourself have really started to annoy me too.

I also hate meal! Especially "my meal" or "the meal". Lots of food words actually. "Main" referring to a main course, Ditto "my main" or "the main".

Saying someone "helped themself" also makes me cringe. As does "manage" eg. "I can't manage all that"

"Stuffing" in reference to eating greedily. My Mum used to say to my brother "have you been stuffing?" Meaning had he'd been eating before dinner. Urgh.

In store, on pack and in branch also annoy me.

I have problems.

‘Not a bad shout’ gives me the rage- please just say that a good idea.

Several IMO daft things I only ever see on MN:

Not your circus, not your monkeys.

That doesn't work for me.

No is a complete sentence.

Bestie (unless you’re about 7)

'Reach out '. Make me want to retch out.

‘100 and 10 per cent’ % means out of 100 - you cannot go above that…
