To ask what words make your teeth itch?

[scruffybird]

Or sayings?

Mine are:
bolt hole
bespoke
Bless

I have always hated the word snog, it makes me feel slightly ill.

Innit ...that just slays me when I hear it. Gruesome.

Thingumy...fanny as slang is used quite a lot in Scotland to denote stupidity. I like to say...'but a fanny's a useful thing' .

"female" instead of woman

I have several

Bab - meaning baby, as in "ahh, let me hold the bab".
Piece - meaning slice of bread or sandwich.
Portion - just a nasty sounding word.
Meal - don't ask me why, just don't like the word.
"Can I get a...." or equally, "I'll just grab a........" - no, no you won't, not in my hearing anyway.
Literally - as in "I literally died laughing" - did you, did you really? I think not.
Cunt - my least favourite swear word. Just vile IMO.
Titties - needs no explanation, surely.
Piece of ass - as copied from some dodgy american TV show or other. Just plain wrong.

And I'm sure there are many more I have temporarily forgotten - fussy as I am .

My bad! I hate that expression so much!

I hate seeing people refer to others as "bubs."

Oh, and I forgot:

GT - meaning "gifted and talented". What happened to being clever?

babe
nightmare (to describe minor problem)
on trend
I'm good (for 'no thanks')

But most of all I hate

HUN

You guys.
Slacks.
"You do the math."

Oh another one - "sexy" when used in context of kids. Bloody woman at my school always praises the children's hair ornaments / new coats / new shoes etc as "sexy." Hate it.

LadyClarice - DH's family are from Lincoln area.

One of these days, one of them will be going to the hospital with a 'book' up their nose.

exfoliate
wow factor
femininity
almost unique - unique is a superlative
hubby
And people who don't use adverbs e.g. "how are you? I'm good" or "He played solid" - much loved by tennis players
Oh and the creeping in of the American 'gotten' (yes I know it's old English really.....)
The awful glottal stop

I have really grown

My journey

Darling

SOURCED

As in, I sourced these cabinets in John Lewis.

feels stabby

Pootle, as in "I just pootled down to the shops".

"In my humble opinion" No, you are not being humble, you are an arrogant thicko and your opinion is worthless.

Bubbly = brainless halfwit

"Close-knit community" usually a load of disfunctional chavs.

TakeThisOne, aaarrrggh! 'book' for 'magazine' is obviously more widespread than I thought. I shall live in fear from now on. It could crop up anywhere.

hubby (esp when used by fb friends in status updates ie "hubby went shopping for clothes on his own today!")

hun
pop as in "just pop it in the oven"
bung (same context as above)
poppet
darling

ta instead of thankyou, esp when said to babies/children

yes book for magazine arghh!

bangers when used by Gok Wan for breasts gives me violent urges

In fact anything Gok Wan says about "loving your curves" nothing wrong with having breasts and hips, a lot wrong about making being overweight/obese/unhealthy ok.

Icky from anyone over the age of 2.

Clematis

"I hear what you're saying."

Journey, for anything other than actually travelling, gah!

I feel the same as HeidiKat. I hate the word snog. And shag.....makes my skin crawl to even think that anyone would use these words in front of me. Oh God, I've just thought of them being used together "We had a bit of a snog and a shag"........I've nearly turned myself inside out with a combination of shuddering and skin crawling!

What's wrong with clematis?

Use of word "admits" in magazine articles: eg Sarah admits she does washing on Wednesdays. Jane admits she is having salad for tea tomorrow. Any article on love/finance/jobs etc is stuffed full of "admits". Use of "admits" tries to give some gravitas to the rubbish being written but it's just cheap, lazy writing.

Luxe. hate hate hate hate hate hate I HATE THIS WORD!!!! It's Luxury, or don't bother.

Picks. My picks. Top picks. etc. So overdone now.

Overuse of phrase "I suspect" on MN.

Equally, the use of words "scuppered" or "scupper" on MN. Teeth curling and itching simultaneously!

Lend/borrowed used incorrectly. "Can I lend a fiver from you". Ugh. "I borrowed her my new handbag".

Hun. It's HON, short for HONEY.

This next one's random, but the word Shat. Such a disgusting word. Poohed/pooped/defecated - but Shat is so harsh and horrible. Ditto, Screwed (in the fornication sense ) So 70's and, (dare I say) common.

Ah. I feel better now.

Tot

"Tot rescued from blaze"

Just say child. Or small child. Or toddler.

My husband says "can I get...", which is, obviously, an absurd mid-Atlantic affectation. What is more, he does it deliberately because he knows it annoys me.

Is this verbal abuse?

Should I leave the bastard?
