All the above make me physically angry. I am not a very nice person.

Panties. I can barely even type the word. MIL used it once. I nearly vommed. Never used 'vommed' before but it's definitely accurate!

Lush and fab.

When certain newspapers (mentioning no names....Daily Mail) call children, tots. Makes my teeth itch.

To the OP who objects to "pinkie" as an Americanism. It's a Scots word, still commonly used in Scotland. Scots brought it to America.

Nooky.
Eggy.

Meal.

It's not a 'meal' it's breakfast, dinner, lunch, supper, tea etc
Meal sounds like something a horse would eat...

FrameyMcFrame · 10/07/2016 23:20

Oh and kiddies...
Just say kids or children!

Worst is a HOP. My daughter told me this is short for a hangover poo.

HOP has just made me laugh biggles

TroysMammy · 11/07/2016 12:27

Slacks. Do you mean trousers?

Hushabyelullaby · 11/07/2016 12:42

Koala, yay i'm not alone! I find it even worse when a younger person uses the word, it's a bloody dress, we're aren't in the 1940's for goodness sake!

I'm aware it is a word often used in Ireland (well the part of Ireland my family live in at least), but I still loathe it.

KoalaDownUnder · 11/07/2016 12:46

Hushabye, I used to work with an incredibly vain twat who came into the office twirling and squealing about her new 'birthday frock'.

Woman in her thirties.

Had to actually bite down on my lip, I did. Angry

glasgowlass · 11/07/2016 12:55

Yummymummy.
Gives me the heavy boak. Even typing it.

Hushabyelullaby · 11/07/2016 14:22

Koala how did you resist punching her repeatedly saying something?!

I don't understand the horror with moist or gusset.

I don't like 'patio' or any shorternings or weird ways of saying things like:

Veg
Hubby
Hollibobs
Luffs (I luffs you).
Choc
Spag Bol
Delish
Totes
Awks

...I'm easy to be around.
