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

Any words that make you cringe?

I must confess that I love chuff when used to mean masturbation, as in 'having a chuff'.

woopsidaisy, what does 'rig out' mean?

Jins · 30/08/2011 09:18

Yup frock is a dreadful word.

I also hate slacks and pants when used for trousers. The word I really hate though is supper

WilsonFrickett · 30/08/2011 10:01

OK Lady, where I come from 'having a chuff' is having a fart, not a fiddle.

Also. Pee-Pee and Poo-Poo.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 30/08/2011 10:22

Sorry Wilson
Can only report what I know.Grin

Ace. Boss says it and it's just so... Barney from Go For It.

Tracey. I can see the cringe factor of frock. But I like it for jokey comments like "frock off" which has a lovely double meaning.

There are phrses I dislike. Tough love, work ethic etc

On individual words I dislike the ones which are very difficult to pronounce.
My better half cant say memorial....

Other half.

To 'get' a bath ....noooooo or 'draw' a bath... what?
Please just have a bath

Also I would of. It's I would have.

cute - particularly applied to children when they are being naughty or insincere.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 30/08/2011 11:22

I loathe 'get' in that context! 'Can I get a latte please?' NOOOOOOOO! But you may have one.

Feckers.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 30/08/2011 11:26

I only have frocks. Tis a fine word!

I do not however own any thing called a 'trouser'. I have trousers but not a trouser.

I do not 'take' a paper. I buy one (or find one on the tube).

I do not want to hear about price points, I want to know how much something costs.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 30/08/2011 11:27

Panties

That word makes me want to curl up in a ball.

They are KNICKERS or perhaps pants but never - that word

bored2bits · 30/08/2011 11:31

Hate gloopy, glee, poorly, bogie, belly, truncheon,trunks,lounge,pumpkin,butty.... think i need a lie down now

chill1243 · 30/08/2011 11:45

yes Mrs Devere, I think Knickers has more funny and sexy clout than any of the options. Mind you knickerbockers (however they spell it,) is a bit of a let down....

speedos? I do not like.

On the underwear line, a famous English female cricket Captain, when she was asked what the girls wore in the male BOX area replied "manhole covers"

Bless you Rachel Heyho Flint....She should be doing stand-up comedy

Price Point made me think of this one...can't remember which shop it's from:

Meal Solutions.

To say solution implies there's a problem. But how could food be a problem? If it was, how could it be solved with a ready meal...? Wanders off muttering

I like the word "frock" when used for little girls i.e "mollie, that a pretty frock you've got on, as opposed to "nokissy, thats a lovely frock" (i'll kick'em Angry )

Tchootnika · 30/08/2011 19:35

"no likey" instead of "doesn't like"

  • only saw that a couple of minutes ago, but my flesh is still crawling.
traceybeaker · 30/08/2011 20:25

tchoo..................I came right here to say the same thing.

It is something a four year old would say and makes me cringe.

tracey - it sounds like something an evil pensioner would say to a hapless 4y.o. whilst trying to force feed it stale Werthers Originals....
No, it sounds like something from a fat socked and sandalled old git trying to 'woo' (eurgh) a thoroughly disenchanted mail order bride.
Awful, awful, awful...

fit2drop · 30/08/2011 21:26

Tchoo your last post remined me of another one

when people say " oh my bad" when they have done something wrong Hmm

Tchootnika · 30/08/2011 21:32

Oh my bad
Never heard it before... LOVE IT! Grin
Gonna start saying it.

Oh my bad! Grin Grin Grin

Phrase of the freakin' week!

Back atchyaaaa, fit

Tchootnika · 30/08/2011 21:33

P.S: also used to hate "phrase".
It sounds like pubic hairs.

Columbia999 · 30/08/2011 21:40

Lingerie, especially when it's pronounced "lonjeraaaaay"
People who pronounce Porsche as "pawsh"

KlarkyKat · 30/08/2011 22:00

In full agreement with panties and kiddies. But Blush that I use some of the others, I do like frock though although can't remember saying it out loud.
I do a bit of sick in my mouth if I hear someone referring to stuff/paperwork/general tat as "bumf" or "toot". I also cannot bear "pit", say armpit please.
