…anyone else have ‘irrational’ aversions to certain phrases, songs or sounds?

For example, I cannot stand nonsense word songs like “ginggang gooly gooly watcha ging gang goooo,” maybe these are real words but in a different language?

I also hate it when people say “om nom nom,” or when my husband makes the sound effects / instrumental bits in songs. I only ever sing the words / voiced parts, I won’t ever ‘sing’ the chuh chuh chuh churrr noise parts, but he does.

Not words but I can’t stand seeing people do ‘air guitar’.

I can’t abide ‘ love shack ‘
The B 52s shouting out that song is hell. I heard an entertaining team sing it on holiday , couldn't even switch it off!

I was scrolling through thinking... Yes, okay, hadn't really considered it, etc

This. Absolutely!

Screechy screech.
Actually I'm a fan of the word screech.

I’m not sure this thread was a great idea, people keep reminding me of more things I don’t like 😂
