Joyful, do you have reservations about 'tummy'? I don't like ickle so we can bond that way :)

'poorly' can go on the same shelf as 'tummy'.

I hate the word horrid. It's vomit-inducing.

3b1g YES! poorly is almost as bad as horrid.

chickpeanow · 26/11/2012 22:30

'flavoursome' that annoys me. It's always used nowadays, where before it was hardly used.

chickpeanow · 26/11/2012 22:31

apostropheuse, that's one's of my favourites. I am horrified. Horrified, I tell ye. What do you prefer in place of horrid??

3b1g · 26/11/2012 22:31

And 'dicky'. Only ever really used before 'ticker'. Why?

apostropheuse · 26/11/2012 22:32

horrible is much better than horrid. Horrid sounds pretentious and very Enid Blyton.

WorraLiberty · 26/11/2012 22:32

Oh God yes...

Horrid
Poorly
Mummy/Daddy (when said by an adult to their own parents)

I don't mind tummy although I never really use it (the phrase...not the body part)

Oops, apostropheuse. I did read Enid in my formative years, and am now evidently corrupted. HORRID.

I confess to having called my parents (RIP) mammy and daddy. It's pretty normal here!

WorraLiberty · 26/11/2012 22:35

Oh and 'non' gets right on my fucking jugs too.

But surely you know that's unreasonable, non?

Hmm Angry Fuck off!

3b1g · 26/11/2012 22:35

Well I think some of these words are just beastly!

ceres · 26/11/2012 22:36

grabby
entitled
posh

all horrible. although from the popularity of these words on here i am obviously in a minority. to be fair i have never heard anyone use 'grabby' or 'entitled' irl.

I read Enid Blyton too. However, it didn't make me into a ginger ale addict! So you have no excuse whatsoever.

WorraLiberty · 26/11/2012 22:36

And Ghastly to boot!

Grin @ chickpea, no it was an ad for yoghurt not a song.....
