to not like the word ''frock''

[traceybeaker]

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

Any words that make you cringe?

I started reading this thread but cannot finish as it is making me shudder, is worse than touching cotton wool!
Slacks, Moist, gusset, belly.
Frock, which I hate now seems mild in comparison so YABU in starting this thread of evilness!!

Saw panties with or without bloody liners and treggings just whilst typing. Stop it now!
My eyes!

Like frock and courting, both of which annoy my mother.

P***s. Cannot bear. If anyone uses that word I terminate involvement. I do not educate them or explain why. I nuke them. I lived with someone at college who (inadvertently) used that word and I moved out for a week whilst other people educated him. Where did it come from? I know American men who use the word underpants if they mean underpants. Is it a porn thing? I would have thought that in the porn world they don't tend to wear knickers. I am not that keen on knickers. I might revert to drawers. Or even bloomers.

so many words that are just like nails on a blackboard to me!

I felt physically ill when I saw "Chrimbo" .

I agree with the poster who wanted to bring back "Galoshes" though. Bloody wonderful word.

I did once hear of a chap called "Colin Moist". Wasn't sure if it was real, but just googled it, and there are apparently 2 people in the UK with this name. As in, "Hi, I'm Moist".

I really think although there are some truly hideous phrases, there are also some terribly underused ones, namely:

Ask me hole
Ask me hoop
Ask me brown star

and my enduring favourite;

I'll batter thye crap outta ya

Madam I wish I could 'like' your comment.

A "tablet of soap". Eurrrggghh
"crem" for crematorium
"dessert"
"toilet"
"trouser" in the singular. No!!!!!

I like the phrase "wind yer neck in" - pithy, quick and punchy.

"platter"
"parboil"
"sweetmeats"
"spooning"

To me a frock sounds like something Miss Piggy would wear!

Oh and I hate (sorry if this has already been said ) preggo/preggers.

Fascinator

Oh do bloody behave, its a hair band with a few bits of craft rubbish

sparkle and feathers!

Yep acsec fairycakes indeed.

MDS - could you not call it the plane's underside?

I like the word 'knickerbockers'. Makes me smile.

Madam, Wouldn't you say "undercarriage"?

Little cakes have always been Patty cakes where I'm from - can't stand Cupcakes - will tolerate fairy cakes.

Hate panties,never wear them. However always wear undies or pants.

Accidently posted (fancy new keyboard.....)

Meant to say that a Lady would always wear underpants under her lovely frock.

Just remembered another that makes me cringe.

"bonus child" for step child..

It sounds ridiculous, as if you have won one in a raffle.

Is there any word more stomach-churningly creepy than 'panties'? I defy any of you to think of such a word...

Not in answer to Tchootnika (because I agree) but have just been reminded by another thread of a word that makes me toes curl:
lounge.

Hate it. especially pronounced "Lahnge". It's used interchangeably here to mean the sofa and/or the room in which the sofa is situated - but either way I refuse to use it. Sounds a bit sleazy to me.

I like the word frock. Actually, I tend to say gúna or frock. Must have a problem with the word dress. Can't stand making love. God I don't think I've ever made love. how sad.

Tchootnika, my daughter says panties to make me wince. I throw cushions at her and plead with her to stop. Lounge does sound a bit sleazy. Lots of ashtrays piled high, half-empty martini bottles, threadbare 70s chairs...

'lee-ownge' - yep, gross:

Makes for an image of Michael Sullivan (is that his name? Sunday Sport owner?) reclining on spongey beige Land of Leather clam-shaped 3-piece suite still in its clear plastic packaging. Hideous.

emmafrost I have heard that too, people saying that a boutiquey style clothes shop had lovely 'pieces'. Sounds so stupid to me.
