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

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

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

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

Oh God yes...

Horrid
Poorly

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.

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

But surely you know that's unreasonable, non?

Hmm Angry Fuck off!

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