AIBU to hate this word

[mummymummums]

Blessed, as in, feeling blessed. Just gets my goat. Not sure why, think
I find it smug.
What words get on your tits nerves?

Moist
Gusset
Pantyhose
Preggers/preggo and actually, even the word pregnant.

Mumma - or worse, mummas (pl), as in "any of you hot mummas out there wanna share your secrets?"
Sadly, this is a common issue in Australia where it seems "hot mumma" is a much-used phrase.

Ordeal - over-used, especially in newspapers. Wish they'd find a different word.

Loads more. I cringe a lot.

Bubs
Hubby
Hun
Lil man

Overused on here: goady, grabby, popcorn, vulnerable, narc.

Not a word but ....Middle-aged women on Facebook joking with each other about their wine consumption (all those dim memes asking what leftover wine is, etc, usually accompanied by pictures of 1950s housewives).

Lovely, as in advice on here to other posters: buy yourself a lovely cake, treat yourself to a lovely glass of wine, run yourself a lovely bath. Like you're going to choose a really shitty one otherwise...

YABU not to put the word you hate in your title.

Hubby and holibobs are still my most hated words, and I WILL trot them out every time someone starts one of these threads! Bubba, Hun, missus follow closely behind. Oh, and 'little man'!!! I cannot stand it, especially as it's usually used by people who infantilise and spoil their very bratty kids IME. Argggh! I'd say it boils my piss, or gives me the rage - but then those phrases irritate me too. this biscuit is for me.

People that refer to things as cheeky.

A cheeky glass of wine
A cheeky takeaway

Urgh.

Your dislike of the words has lead to my delicious tea. Thanks!

@Sconesnotscones and @LassWiTheDelicateAir neither had I until a few months ago! Picky tea suddenly turned up in MN threads. I think it means putting food out and people then pick from each dish, like a buffet? Or perhaps it's leftovers? 🙄

No idea - but it's been used quite a lot and it really makes me want to scream.

Ugh

gives me the rage horrible expression. Another one I have seen anywhere other than on MN.

Babe
Hun
Lol when over used. My mum puts it at the end of everything and I find myself saying, 'but are you, really?'

A cheeky glass of wine
A cheeky takeaway

Does anyone say this? Are the words and phrases you are all complaining of used on Facebook? I don't use any social media and most of them I've never come across.

Does anyone say this? Worse. What are you having? A triple choc muffin/ a gin & tonic/ the beefburger. Oooh, cheeky Fuck off.

choochooo

Oh dear god. How many times does she use the dreaded expression?

Furbabies (they are pets ffs)
From Masterchef and similar 'plate of food' (all the time! Even when served on a piece of astroturf) and 'yes chef' said in an unnecessarily subservient manner (you're cooking someone's dinner, you're not in the bloody army)
Sex romp, as used in tabloid headlines and absolutely nowhere else. Makes me picture naked people in clown makeup beating eachother with balloons (not sure why)

At the end of emails: "I'll revert to you tomorrow."

No, you won't. You might come back to me tomorrow. You will not revert. Look it up.

Mumpreneur - I saw this in an article in our local paper, and just couldn't believe that such a condescending, belittling term was used for female entrepreneurs and women in business. But it is. It sounds like a "go away and play, girlie" term. Why is it OK for men to be entrepreneurs, and not Dadpreneurs?

Invite.
The word is "invitation" FFS!

I can't bear it when someone talks about people "sleeping /slept together" no sorry the last thing they actually did was sleep!!

Also the overuse of the word "like".

The "c" word, am I the only MNer who doesn't use it?! I just can't bring myself to type it, let alone say it.

you're not the only one, no - hate that word too, also twat, that other MN favourite *

@Trifleorbust and from her description - it's a buffet! Why not call it a buffet?!

Hubby...

Another vote for 'bliss' at the end of a list of shit you did that day.

I also dislike the word 'boob' used as a verb

Tea. About food. 'We're having lasagne for tea'. 'We're eating our tea'. I want to scream: Where's the fucking tea??? I don't see any tea. You cant eat tea anyway, it's a drink!

Of course that this is a normal thing to say in the UK, but it just sounds so fucking stupid.

Also 'potluck'. What the hell?
