Irritating words!

[queenc81]

Please tell me I'm not alone, and other people can't have certain words used around them?

Oh has just used the worst one, (moist) even writing that makes me shudder. It knocks me sick when I hear that word.

Oh thinks I'm going crazy and I'm trying to prove I'm not with this thread. I also can't have clocks in the house, the ticking makes me want to rip my ears off. Dickhead husband calls me Captain Hook

Words turned into verbs, eg:

Labouring (in the context of giving birth)
Medalling- he medalled three times in the Olympics

Also twee alternatives for fart (all of them but mainly fluff and pump)

Fluff/fluffy etc - it's so horribly descriptive and I hate fur

Smalls/littles for children

Ok so it's 2 words but i hate hate hate 'this one'. As in 'date night with this one' attached to a photo on Facebook.

Like nails down a blackboard

YY to
panties
nibbles
meal

I also dislike the word breakfast, the overuse of "iconic" and the phrase "get in".

Baby Daddy

Bae and Ickle - Make me want to scream :-(

Sourced

Gifted ( particularly when used as a verb)

Property when they mean house. Get very cross at Homes under the Hammer type shows where they say it every 5 seconds.

pee
loo
festive

ergh and ravenous. makes me cringe every time dm announces it

One that often is used on here,

Craft or crafting

No, it's drawing or art or making a bloody mess. A craft is building furniture or making special ale. Always imagine it being said in a long, drawling, pretentious voice as well 'oh, the children were craaaafffting this afternoon'.

The word soothing makes my skin crawl as well, for some reason.

YY to 'this one', makes me want to block the FB if it who dared to us it. Also, not a word, but people who endlessly # at the end of every FB post. Just stop.

Ok, so I know it's two words but "reach out" just makes me want to hurt someone. Or vomit. Probably both. It's a vile Americanism that for some reason has crept over here and I'm hearing it more and more frequently.

Meeting Wanker: "Yeah, I've reached out to Amanda from HR about that..."

Me: "No, you've fucking emailed her!..Just say you've fucking EMAILED Amanda from HR you massive twat! Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!"

If people don't stop using this phrase I'm probably going to get sacked soon. Or arrested. Probably both.

Furbaby - I say no more

Hun (Which is mega unfortunate DP calls me it all the time - only person I just let do it)
Belly - Much prefer tummy
Fancy
Cock - it makes me cringe even typing it.

Broody. Don't know why, I've always loathed it, reminds me of a moist hen. Drinkies. Playdate. Reach out, little man. Slash/piss, as in I'm going for a slash/piss.

Oh and people who say Xmas. I've banned DP from saying that one in messages to me, it's just says 'exmas' not Christmas. Stupid stupid abbreviation.

BlueNeighbourhood actually it isn't that stupid- the X is still representing Christ, in the Greek sense.

But Xmas is OK surely, as the X is the ancient symbol for Christ?

Crossed posts.

"Impact" as a verb. They mean "affect" and what they say is "compress and squish up 'till it's solid".

Bog
Snot
Fanny

Dixiewishbone may I add 'pop of colour' to your list? Stupid word.

Peckish. Gifting. Most abbreviations - congrats, uni are among the worst.

Top of the list though? 'Lovemaking'. Uggghhh.
