...to think this is the ugliest word in the English language?

[DarceyBissell]

...gobsmacked.
I have heard even BBC types say it, politicians even.
Every time I hear it I want to puncture my own eardrums. Ugly, crass, lazy, crude.
Also hate nouns as verbs - mothballed, torched etc.
Think I am too sensitive for this world.
Any other words/phrases make you see red?

[wilkos]

"I'd like to "pick your brains" about that" GAH!!!

[SirRaymondClench]

'panties' creeps me out every time

[Ezza1]

"Having a cheeky pint/glass of wine" makes me squirm.

Actually, 'squirm' is not very nice.

For some reason the word 'succinct' irritates me.

[selsigfach]

I had a massive crush on someone recently (bad wife) and all manner of naughty thoughts were going through my mind when I saw him... and then he described some meal as "om nom nom".

"Used" makes me feel a bit ill.

And anyone who says "off of" needs shooting.

[EarthtoMajorTom]

"She's a young lady now" (of teenage girl). Yeauch.

And "gutted". People say they're gutted and I just see a fish on a slab being prepared for cooking.

[mignonette]

Oh I hate it OP...Got to be right up there.

[wilkos]

Also fashion speak "oh so" as in "this dress is oh so chic for lazy days in the sunshine!"

FFS, it's so bloody unoriginal!!!

[WorraLiberty]

'Dude'...when used by anyone over the age of 18

I just picture them with a back to front baseball cap...trying to look cool and failing miserably.

[valiumredhead]

Darcey-I hate T to break it to you but no one out side MN cares, even doctors

[valiumredhead]

Oh random T

[Dawndonna]

Anyone had crepuscular yet? I shuddered typing it, it's not even offensive,
I just hate it!

[MamaChubbyLegs]

Minge

[blueshoes]

Cum

Devour - ever since Tony Blair wrote of Cherie in his autobiography:

"That night she cradled me in her arms and soothed me; told me what I needed to be told; strengthened me. On that night of 12 May 1994, I needed that love Cherie gave me, selfishly. I devoured it to give me strength. I was an animal following my instinct."

[OneLaundryBaskettoRuleThemAll]

Belly, for tummy.
Nom nom, which fecker started that.
Source. Please fall off the planet.

[seasalt]

"go-to" as used by beauty bloggers, etc. "this is my go-to eyeliner". Go to fuck

[MamaChubbyLegs]

Breasts. But only how DP says it. He rolls the 'r' and hisses the 's' at the end.

Brrrrrrreastsssss

I try to teach him 'boob' and 'tit', but he thinks my horror is funny

[ClartyCarol]

Dear God whatever possessed Tony Blair to overshare in such a manner? Was that the night Leo was conceived or something?

[Mixxy]

Haha seasalt I hate when beauty experts say 'go to' as well. No actually, this is my ONLY mascara.

[WorraLiberty]

Belly, for tummy

So if you went to a Turkish restaurant, should they advertise 'Tummy dancers' on the entertainment list?

[Wuldric]

applause for sanity

I love frock. I say it all the time.

Most of my most hated sayings are business bollocks cliches. And anyone who describes things you do at work as sexy, ("I''ll send you the info, you just put it onto some slides and make it look sexy...") should be shot.

[TheRealFellatio]

Baccy, fags, cigs, or ciggies all make me want to hurl. But even worse than that is snout. Eeeewwwww. And I hate to hear people say 'puffing on a cig' or 'give us a drag'. I am very squeamish about smoking as it is, but when people use such revolting little pet words for it it makes me hate them.

I also hate Champagne being called bubbly or shampoo.

I agree about portion and snack and yummy, there is something so horribly smug and twee about them. I cannot STAND the phrase 'choose the healthy option' either.

And that. As in 'are you looking for that perfect gift for that special person?'

[McGeeDiNozzo]

People who say "speak to" instead of "talk about" - FUCK OFF

slurry

'wacky baccy'

sheath

meatus

prepuce

purulent

[froubylou]

Foreskin.

Rind.

Grease.

[YDdraigGoch]

Panties and titties.
Both make me think of porn magazines.
