to not like the word ''frock''

[traceybeaker]

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

Any words that make you cringe?

When I was little I was best friends with a girl whose parents were very old fashioned and a bit batty. She used to refer to jumpers as 'jerseys'. It drove me mad. Now I quite like it, in a retro-kitsch kind of way. ?mad stroking of Cath Kidston merchandise?

This thread is making me twitch.

Can I also nominate "snazzy", "with-it", "trendy" and "mod"?

And in a similar vein, "bang on-trend".

And the use of the singular; "trouser", "pant" and "tight".

I'm not that keen on "splendid" or "Cheerio".

Please say marvellous or Goodbye instead.

... Thank you.

I came on here to say 'blouse' but I'm too late

Also loathe 'pieces', especially when they're 'teamed' with each other.

How can clothes be in a fucking team?

missmiss, when I was little my grandmother used to buy me Guernseys. I loved them.

Up here a "piece" is a sandwich/butty!

Jeely piece= jam sandwich

"capsule wardrobe"

'grockles' -local slang used to describe holidaymakers-a stupid word used by stupid people

dreamboat

lol.

I am with you all on most of the words.

I also can't stand the way some people say words, difficult to show you what I mean by writing it.

SONY when people pronounce in SON [ rhymes with BON] E.

don't know if you can understand that .

I like frock and courting, very quaint words which remind me of my nan.

Slacks, eew horrible word which conjures images of 70's style navy blue mum-trousers.

Surprised no one has mentioned drawers, now that is a good word.

And don't ever say 'belly' to me, that is a vile term.

My MIL says 'panties' to DD. I have to restrain myself every single time. I've told her not to use it but she looks at me like I'm mad.

She says 'let's get your panties on' and I shout 'KNICKERS!' somewhere in the background, much to DD's amusement.

If I ever hear DD say it I shall commit violence upon MIL's person.

Absolutely loathe adults using the word "tummy" ... when speaking to other adults
Why???
You are grown ups so just stop it. OK?

Fuck yeahhhhhhhh to jeggings - what a damned fool stupid made up stupid word!

Rockabilly - what?

Ditsy - Beg pardon?

Pleather - this is a word?

Anything where little is shortened to l'il - projectile vomit time!

Agree with everyone on 'making love' -

Juicy, leak, moist, slippery, loose, slimey and plunge are all very very dirty words.

I like 'frock' and 'courting'.
Lots of completely unacceptable words on here already ('li'l man' has to be near the top, though).

I think someone's mentioned this already, but 'portion' is, for some reason, an awful word.
Sorry to say, this, OP, and I don't know why this is, but I've also always had problems with the word 'beaker' (I don't like 'tumbler' much, either). And 'pantry'. And 'broth'. Awful.

Eurgh, just saw 'jeggings'.
New worst word ever.

tchootnika..........................How dare you? lol

broth yep hate it.

jeggings..............I can't even whisper it.

I also do not like bean bag, its not a bag so don't call it one.

On property programmes when they say

forever home
crash pad
WOW factor

or describe a room as a "space" - it's a bleeding room!

Frock is unbelievably sexless.

I've recently started using 'Knicks' instead if knickers or pants....I'm loving that.

I hate limb and lover

Panties, meh, but add liners and it makes my head explode.

Panty-liners

Don't go to Bristol Bathsheba

If we are adding jeggings then surely we must also add treggings, even worse.

I love frock and often use it :)

HATE panties - urgh!

Agree with perfumedlife they are fairy cakes!

the box! see - grrrr
