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) Angry 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 Hmm

Soiled.

And there is something wrong with anyone who uses it.

Another one for words turning to verbs. Gifting especially. I heard 'Rocking around the Christmas Tree' earlier & got very angry where she says they will 'do some carolling'

Or when people say 'haitch' instead of 'aitch' for the letter H. That's the most annoying!

People starting a sentence with 'so...'. Really aggravates me.

'Going for a cheeky...', 'stopped for a cheeky....', insert word/activity that's not really cheeky at all.

'pop' as a verb: 'just popping to the shops', bleeergh, what's this? Rent-a-ghost?

'Vile' is like a trigger to me. Hooshes on my judgey panties pants at great speed. Anyone using 'vile' is unquestionably a total snobby self-absorbed judgemental nob.

I recognise the irony regarding judgemental. Difference is I'm right . Sorry to all the nobbers on this thread who've used 'vile' but it is what it is.

Yes, I dislike "pop of colour" used to describe makeup or fashion. Even worse - I was at a painting demonstration at my art club and artist talked about using a "pop of colour" quite a few times. I was grinding my teeth - wanted to rush out and punch her.

"Special snowflake" - so overused and tired.

"Feeling blessed" - every five minutes on Facebook. Usually talking about doing something very mundane.
