To ask what words make your teeth itch?

[scruffybird]

Or sayings?

Mine are:
bolt hole
bespoke
Bless

frock
"key pieces"
mojo
must-have
utterly
soooooooooo
yummy
pooch
fashionista
pumps
urbanite
combo

Also 'fat free coke'.......ITs SUGAR FREE! dumb ass.

Favourite phrase at the moment is 'what the actual fuck'

Pardon
Hunny - hun etc
Gawjuss
me (instead of my)

oh - and bubs and kiddies

I hate it when any adult is referred to as a 'cheeky chappie'. I just know I'll think they are a cretin. A cretin in a jaunty hat, possibly. I'm looking at you, Olly Murs.

Also hate 'Bitty' and all those cunts who think it is an original or funny thing to say to a breastfeeding mother.

things being described as "luxury" (or worse still, "luxe" - surely it's "de luxe") when they are just bog-standard - e.g., a flat with a white bathroom and a twig in a glass vase = "luxury flat".

things being described as "quality" - it should be stated whether said thing is good or bad quality.

Sausage

Pheasant

Teachers who say ' You should be SAT on the carpet!' WTH - sitting on the carpet!!!!!

agree re. SAT .... and it's not just teachers!

Scrummy - as in nauseating FB updates along the lines of "X just had a scrummy meal with her yummy hubby" Die die die

And I know it's a bit non-specific but I HATE puns and double entendres that seem to be rife in any environment where there's lots of women and a single bloke. ie -
Man: Can I have the PE cupboard key so I can get some balls out for this afternoon?
STUPID woman (yes I have one in mind): OOOOOOOOHHHHHH I'll grab your balls for you if you like?? Cue screeching laughter
Etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc until I want to DIE!

Adding glam to other words. Glamazon, glamazing, what the hell?! Looking for a snowsuit for DD at the weekend I remarked that they were all large enough for her to go camping in, the shop assistant pointed at a bright pink one and said "or glamping in that one!". I've been camping, there was nothing glam about it.

Using glam instead of glamorous.

People who deliberately spell gorgeous as 'gawjus'. Eyes. Bleeding.

"He wants/needs a good hiding". A favourite one of certain family members in reference to 2yo DS. He neither needs or wants one but everytime the phrase is used I want to dish one out to the speaker.

Answering the phone "ola" or "yellow".

"i.e" instead of "e.g"

Itch instead of scratch

Chillax

Cheeky pint, cheeky cuppa etc. - work colleagues, you know who you are

Literally

In the sense of ... - if my boss says this one more time I may not be responsible for my actions

Maccy D, Dotty P, Primarni - no

Metrosexual - what on earth .. ?!

Literally - when it's not
Sat when it should be sitting
Fashionista
101 ( or anything higher)%
genius - applied to someone who is just very good

Innit, arks etc

General overuse of hero or saviour
Tits
American pronunciations ( usually by newsreaders) eg debris
American phrases such as shopping mall
(nothing against Americans btw but we speak English not American )

Oh bugger, Googlebun - that was aimed at me, wasn't it?? Ah well! Long day, etc, etc!

"songstress" -why do tabloids use this word instead of "singer!?"
"Arks" - just....ugh

This is such a great read! Great to know I'm not the only one! (did i say that right?)

kids - that's it I think!

Gin - laughing at "songstress". It could be worse. In the thirties and forties, singers were often known as "canaries" or "chirpers". I once took a gig off my ex SIL, who was as daft as arseholes. Only to find she'd billed me as a "lady vocaliste". I just about ripped her silly head off. Such a lace-doily term and not at all suitable for me.

I hate:
gobsmacked
Yummy
scrummy
hubby /hubster
kiddies
num num / nom nom etc.

Basically any adults using childish language when not in the context of actually addressing a child/ children.

It ticks all the boxes (especially on property programmes).
Uber - whats wrong with very?

Tasked with
Upskill
Hubby
Conflab (for confab)

And most of what has been said up thread.

There are so many, sometimes I'm in a complete froth from the minute I get on the bus until I home in the evening.

Lady Vocaliste!!!! :-) Ugh! Sounds like someone you'd hire out from an escort agency! :-D

No-one's mentioned "scenario" especially when used wrongly: e.g ex/step MIL "You know when you need a Sainsbo's scenario"...

Meaning "I need to go to the supermarket".

She used "scenario" every 5 minutes and never in the right way. Now I utterly loathe it.
