This won't be popular and I will probably get flamed but...

[Salmotrutta]

AIBU to hate people using "ick" or "icky" as an adjective.

It is not on. Unless you are three years old.

Stop it.

AND which is it anyway? "Ick" or Icky" - stop interchanging them. At least be consistent.

Yes, yes I realise I have indulged in many a word hating/loving thread but so what?

My OH hates it when people say "my bad!" when they've something wrong. Drives him potty.

Ick.

Talc - I love a bit of irony and sarcasm so that's fine.

I AM The Law so I get to decide...

I don't think my cats go "ick"

More like "cacaccchhhphtooey"

Moist is unacceptable under any circumstances, though I will concede that it stops me from discussing baked goods as there's no real synonym. Equally, tasty and gusset should be uninvented. Moist, tasty gusset all as one phrase is actually making me go ick ick ick.

People who say gawjus should be set adrift on a small boat in the Pacific with a Bengal tiger called Richard Parker for company.

I hate the use of 'naughty' in reference to eating: 'Ooh, I might be naughty and have a cake'. WTF?

'Ick' is a word. It's an irritating skin disease my fish get. So it could be used to describe that flesh crawling feeling you get.

'Stabby' is my all time favourite word apart from 'chocolate'

Moist, tasty gusset

!!!!!

This thread is totes amazeballs!

My cat vomits with a caachh sound.

I hate people who promise to ping you an email or text. Why not just write one?

I love a BOOM.

With you on ick. Makes me nauso.

Now, the sound of a cat vomiting is very different to the coughing-up-a-hair-ball noise.

Oh yes.

But each of these noises is designed to strike fear into the human heart.

I can't type the noise my cat makes. It's like the noise a snake makes when it eats a whole mouse.

I really dislike 'stabby'. And 'nom nom'. I even hated typing that!

Cats are proper bastards aren't they?

I do love mine but they are bastards.

I think there's a poster on here called mycatsabastard...

My cat pooed on my new ipad yesterday.

Well it was like a cat-skid.

It's the pre-vomit noise that is the terrifying one. The one that sounds like someone plunging a sink, accompanied by their sides pumping in and out like a pair of bellows.

I always stand there like a lemon thinking do I move the cat, or try and get some newspaper in front of it. Always too late of course.

Laters guys!

I hate that phrase with a passion. Especially when used to address a roomful of women.

HyvaPaiva I agree

Although it's still not quite as bad as 'norty'

I run around in circles. Flapping my arms.

Boom gets on my tits! Piers Morgan uses it a lot on Twitter. "BOOM! Arsenal are one nil up!". "BOOM! Arsenal have won!".

He's enough of a twatdork without using BOOM all over the place.

I am suddenly loving the idea of moist clothes and damp cakes.

I am sure Icky is derived from Norwegian ikke. Don't or not - sort of, depending on position in sentence

I hate 'team' as in Team Nigella.

Or better: moist houses and damp cakes
