to not like the word ''frock''

[traceybeaker]

It makes me cringe and also the word ''courting''

Any words that make you cringe?

dating - wish courting would make a comeback

making love - bleurgh, just say having sex

shag - very rude word when I was young

Never realised before but yes, frock is a shuddersome word

Making love.

Slacks (instead of trousers)

I agree. I don't like frock or maids a courting.

OMG you're so right about 'frock'

It's the most old fashioned gag inducing word that reminds me of pantomime Dames

I like frock but hate 'feminine'. The very act of typing the word makes me want to vomit.

Frock is right up there with gusset as cringeworthy words.

Frock is a superb word! yabvvvvvvvu

oh and even worse if the frock is 'pretty' and the gusset is 'moist'

when I was little, frock was very much in use (1960's), but by the time I had hit my teens, it had become completely cringy - I remember a friend of mine berating her mother for daring to use the word , On the other hand we used words like, grotty, cruddy, gizzardy, etc. which sound extremely dated now.

Slacks makes me think of old men, golf, and polyester.

I would use frock ironically now, as in 'Ooh you've got your posh frock on' said in a comedy voice.

I love frock, courting and making love. I am not even very old. Maybe I should have been from the 50s

The word frock always reminds me of my gran (she's the only one I knew who used it as an everyday word) and she would say it in her fab lancashire accent.....

so YABU!!!

I despise the word Ditsy. Why use that to describe what is usually a pattern on womens clothing? It means stupid and scatterbrained for gods sake. Why would that be a good association to make for 21st century womens clothes?

And cupcake. It's fairy cake, face it.

I like frock and pinny, I don't like trews. My lovely mum tells me often that she's got a new pair of trews.

frock is great when used in the sentence "I look like a pig in a frock".

How can you possibly compare gusset and frock frock is fabulous.

Don't mind frock but cannot tolerate panties

Rip- i had forgotten 'trews', my mum would often go shopping for a new pair of trews or slacks, my nan used to say 'why don't you buy yourself a nice frock instead and some stockings'.

I had Sindy dolls and my nan would make them a new frock every week.

My mate's Mum still calls her husband's socks 'stockings'

I must say it conjours up a strange and unwelcome image in my head

panties always sound like a porn word. Vile.

perfumedlife it's not cupcake or fairy cake, it's bun.

But surely fairy cake and cupcake are two very different things.

YANBU I hate the word frock! And slacks for trousers.

I have an irrational dislike of the words 'shoe' and 'laugh'.

I'm not keen on 'moist' either.
