To ask you for your list of words that you hate?

[MrsOverTheRoad]

I know it's been done to death but I need to get this out

Scrumptious.

Fuck that word. Just fuck it.

It's a stupid, self indulgent sort of word.

"Oh isn't he SCRUMPTIOUS!"

It's such a childish word somehow. So Mary Poppins.

Also

Meal

Yes to 'panties'. I find it a bit creepy and fetishy.

And I've just seen 'clunge' upthread. God, that is beyond the pale.

Trod,
lol (not technically a word, I know!),
Delicious 😡
Shag/shagged - Just awful!

I know these are two word 'expressions' but they also drive me insane;

'Rocked up'
'On point'
'On fleek'
'Me thinks'
and the use of 'I feel like..' instead of saying 'I think' - An American trend that is slowly seeping into the UK!

Whatever happened to the good & proper English language?!

Poorly, no you're ILL.
Worse if applied to body part, e.g. Poorly tummy. Just say the shits/ d and v.

Agreed Just. My friend works in a bar and is often asked "can I get a wine/lager"? I hate "I turned around/she turned around and said"
Or worse still beginning a sentence with obviously or basically

Roasties, kiddies, scrummy, luncheon.

Hun.

There's a DIY SOS build going on here in the West Midlands, reported in the local press and picked up on Facebook.

Some of the people involved are posting comments under the article, including one who addresses everyone as hun x.

With her profile picture a daft, pouting selfie and her sense of self importance, the "hun x" is the final straw.

Also can't believe you're ten pages in and no one else wants to punch people for calling their dinner 'cheeky'

I hate This!!!

Just thought of another -- 'intimate'.

Succulent. Used as an adjective.

Thank goodness I've never heard anyone call their dinner cheeky!! Mine are

Parent as a verb.
The phrase 'educate yourself'

Piss off.

Pop as in "pop in oven" "popping over" YES! I hate it. Unless you are referring to the sound, fuck off. What's wrong with 'put', 'come over' etc. So twee.

poorly
recently heard a Headteacher complain that with budget cuts he couldn't send flowers to the 'long-term poorly' aaargh!
sleeps
as in '3 sleeps till my holiday'
my bad
by anyone over 21

Cleanse. Somehow it sounds unctuous and self-righteous. Just use "clean", for goodness sake.

hun

'Pogged' as in feeling full after you've eaten, I'm sure it's not even a proper word. That's the worst of a very long list.

Gotten.
Co-worker.

Brew - as in 'fancy a brew'
Spelt - for anything other than the wheat.
Myself / yourself in place of me / you

Misuse of the reflexive pronoun 'please pass the biscuits to John and myself'

What's occurring?
Gotten, unless there's a hyphenated prefix
Scrumptious/scrummy
Anything in baby speak

I sound really not very fun...

The saying "Happy days". Eh??!!

It drives me mad when people say 'mute point' rather than 'moot point'.
I have a friend who can't cope with the word 'flange'.

Pamper
Spiritual
Chilled
Empowering
Detox
