Words and phrases that make you shudder

[GreatUserName]

We all know MN hates the word 'moist' and the term 'picky bits' but what other words or phrases do you dislike?

The word flesh gives me the creeps.
<involuntary shudder>

"struggle with" from someone who's clearly making no effort at all.

Mumma

Also baby mumma or baby dad.

Butt hurt - often read it here but have never heard it used elsewhere - horrible phrase!

'Dropped' instead of released or launched.

Also, little man.

Obsessed!
Hubby
My other half
my rock
beautiful inside and out
You do you
Calling children ‘little man’
Calling your own children mate
hollibobs

Holibobs (makes me want to vom)
Hubby

Reaching out ....

I kind of agree with you in some of those words..."Brunch" has been around for decades, but here is the i paper's photo on it, but note it's research by Premier Inn. The i paper is just reporting it, so...

Under review

Literally
Reach out

Sorry, here it is

Judgy
Goady
Wild
Narrative
Nuance
Call it/them out

All grossly overused and as such become meaningless

I have a lot! I spend too much time inwardly shuddering.

Wifey

Ruddy
Mamma (as said by adults not toddlers)
Pappa (ditto)
Mucus
All of a tizzy

Sweary mary
Chocky or choccie
Bicky or biccie

Belly (when you mean tummy or midrif)
Ta
Not bothered
Talk to the hand (probably out of date now, but loathed it)
Cunt
Poorly (as in she's really poorly - always said with a sad face)

The liberal use and misuse of the word "literally". I've even seen "I literally died when she told me . . ."

Why are so many people now spelling the word "ridiculous" as "rediculous"? Also spelling "a lot" as "alot"? I've even seen academics on Twitter/X writing "alot".

"Pearl clutching" and "Are we back in the 50s?"

Dirty knickers it’s just 🤢

Poorly (as in she's really poorly - always said with a sad face)

• accompanied by the sympathetic head tilt?

Yes!!!!!!!!

Worse than everything being literally is 'litch'!

"Use your words" when speaking to an adult.

Meekend 😂

My friend's daughter messaging her with "Bruh"
🤭

And NOOK. What kind of awful word is nook? No idea of where it came from but it shouldn't exist or ever be used.

Costa coffee mark their food as ‘veggie’. I thought it was a weird term for such a big company to use.

I think this is probably only a Glasgow/West of Scotland thing but "jamp"
"He jamp off the top step"
"She jamp on the bus in front of me"

My kids have been guilty of this and it makes me unreasonably annoyed. At least I can correct them. Sometimes some in work will say it and I have to bite my knuckles to quench the urge to scream "It's JUMPED you imbecile - there is no such word as "jamp!"

God that's another one...calling them Gen Zee. Ffs, it's Gen Zed. We pronounce it zed in Britain. Fine to say zee in America.

My bad
