Hubby.

Nom nom.

Sammich.

Gender critical feminist.

Pitiless - what does nubbin mean?
I've not heard that word before.

people who say pissed when they mean pissed off (unless they're not from the UK, then that's just about acceptable)

I hate just about all the euphemisms for having a bowel movement.

especially

having a dump
dropping the kids off at the pool (really?)

but the most nauseating is:

curling one out

O! shudder shudder shudder

Hellonlegs · 09/07/2016 15:58

When people say 'an all' instead of 'as well' As in 'I love that an all'
Being called darlin' by a stranger
Baps

'Horrid'

It always reminds me of a little girl whose about to 'Scweam and Scweam' and stamp her foot.

Portion.

Others are mostly Americanisms when they are used by non-American people who have English as their native language.

Mom
Vacation

Pinkie (LITTLE FINGER!)

And the American English euphemisms that have crept into everyday use in the last 15 years or so :

Bathroom - when it doesn't contain a bath but does contain a TOILET. Let's just call the room a TOILET, FFS
Restroom - see above

and I'm afraid I have to add 'passed' as in died.

MonkeysWAGMug · 09/07/2016 17:38

Blimey, reading that back I sound rather angry! Grin

DP despises the word 'lunch' in his defence we are from Yorkshire so we have dinner as the midday meal but I find it bizarre that he grimaces when he hears it Confused

Toilet. Unless it's to describe a wc. We go to the loo or for a wee.
