Argh a woman at work says 'the hubster' Angry
We all know her husband's name but she still refers to him as the hubster. I have to resist the urge to throw things every time she says it.
Hubby is just as bad

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 15/06/2017 22:33

'Hubby' is still the worst in my mind. Several times I've been unable to get through an OP because they're talking about their 'hubby', it makes me feel stabby. MIL once used it to be about DH, I had to beg her to never say it again!

Patriciathestripper1 · 15/06/2017 22:34

Anghst is a fucking horrible word which makes me want to slap someone.
'Yes dear' spoken by a patronising Dh can invoke an absolute rage and a near stabbing incident.
Sarni, Sanger, mild annoyance compared to the two listed above.

Roasties

Flumplet · 15/06/2017 22:35

Flange is worse than sarnie.

KoalaDownUnder · 15/06/2017 22:36

I also hate chippy tea and fish supper.

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 15/06/2017 22:36

Ooh, I also hate 'cuppa'. Just say cup of tea or something!

UrsulaPandress · 15/06/2017 22:38

What on earth is wrong with a chippy tea? Followed by a chip butty?

UrsulaPandress · 15/06/2017 22:38

And a brew.

McTufty · 15/06/2017 22:39

The 'hubster' beats it.

Yes. Hubster. Ewww.

I have a friend who says 'hubband'. For the love of Christ, why?

WhataHexIgotinto · 15/06/2017 22:39

The word draws instead of drawers is enough to make the steam come out of my ears.

SugarnetMum · 15/06/2017 22:40

sorry! Forgot I post this while watching TV. Back now. Scrolling though looking for ones to beat sarnie! Grin I agree with simply nigella that anything ending in ie is top cringe!

Actually, oh god, munchies has to be the worst. When I grew up we called sweets, crisps eg if watching a film or going to the cinema you'd bring 'goodies' not munchies arrgghh makes my skin crawl!

'Drinkie-poos' to refer to anything alcoholic. Stab stab stab.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 15/06/2017 22:42

When people on here talk about 'mopping' up sauce (generally with 'crusty' bread).

STOP right there, you filthy animal.

bridgetreilly · 15/06/2017 22:43

Sammich is MUCH MUCH worse.

KimchiLaLa · 15/06/2017 22:43

I hate -

A brew
"Naice"
"Nom"

choppolata · 15/06/2017 22:44

Whilst and panties

angieloumc · 15/06/2017 22:45

Years ago I went out with a bloke a few times. We met in a coffee shop once and he asked me "Do you want a cuppa or a potta?"
Me; "What?"
Him; "You know a cuppa tea or a potta coffee."
I never went out with him again.
Though for me even worse is 'the Hubster',

Calyrical · 15/06/2017 22:45

Grin ILike

NilesCrane · 15/06/2017 22:45

When people on here talk about 'mopping' up sauce (generally with 'crusty' bread). Envy (obviously not envy).

choppolata · 15/06/2017 22:46

bridget yes that really offends me too.

Beerwench · 15/06/2017 22:47

I agree with many of these. However my all time most hated may be a local thing to here - scran - for food/meal.

Just.Fuck.Off.
Angry

Ohyesiam · 15/06/2017 22:47

I get all of these except moist. It always comes up on these threads and I don't get it, unless it's said by a creepy man before sex, ie " let's get you moist "Shock
But then anything sexual by creepy men would be major cringe.
How do to all feel about " moisturiser "?

EvansOvalPies · 15/06/2017 22:58

hubby, hubster, li'l bubba, fur baby (referring to a pet! I love animals, have had heaps and heaps of pets over the course of 50 years. Not once have I ever felt the need to refer to one single one of them as a fucking 'fur baby'). All those terms make me want to vomit.

Sarnie is nothing!
