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

I hate

annoys me.

"Scorchio" aaaarrrgggh

"Soz" why do adults want to talk like little children?

I hate the word pussy
Can't even type it. Horrid 😭

Strike out fail

Tub

Nom
Nom nom
Brew
'My meal'
Leccy
Sanpro
Spends (I really hate that one)
Spends (I hate it so much I'm saying it twice)
Eats (as in 'let's get some eats.')
Lol
'His/my hobby' (just say cycling/running/building shit out of matchsticks/whatever. Just don't say 'my hobby,' it sounds so, so pathetic and oppressive somehow.)
Holibobs
Sainsbos (ffs)
Mr T's (instead of Tesco. ffs)

I'll think of more.

Tummy OK for kids not adults.

Chow down

Agree with:

Chippie tea
Picky tea

Also see 'cold cuts.'

It also winds me up when people talk about making food quickly. All ingredients get 'chucked,' 'thrown' or 'lobbed' into a pan. It's as though simply 'putting them in' wouldn't be fast enough. Annoying.

Moist doesn't bother me but combine it with gusset and I'll puke in my mouth. Surprised to see so many fellow haters of gusset.

I also hate guacamole - saying it actually makes me gag. It's the 'gwawk' sound in the back of my throat. Same noise I make when I vomit.

@inlectorecumbit, if you don't like the word mum, may I ask what you use instead?

"I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less." Well, if you could care less then you must already care quite a bit, which is the opposite of what you mean.

Smacking lips!

So I hate it when people start a sentence with 'so'

@NameChangeFamousFolk the whole 'his/my hobby' thing bugs the hell out of me too! There can't be many hobbies that are actually as outing as people think they are. One one thread I did see a poster suggest that if people refuse to say what the hobby is, then it's only reasonable to assume that it's dogging

Back on topic:

'baps' when used to refer to breasts. Boobs/norks even bangers I can cope with but not baps

And it's already been said but 'pacific' instead of 'specific'

Sanpro is pretty bad but I've never seen/heard it outside MN so just about coping with it! Ditto picky bits/picky tea.

Also inappropriate use of the word 'literally'

Friedsprout agree about 'so'. It's a plague spreading fast. Often seen in MN too.

The word 'veto/vetoed' that keeps being thrown around on here at the moment. So cringey.

Namechange. Yes agreed about the food.

They always chuck, bung, toss. When combined with the overuse of YUM (I cringed even typing that word) it makes any food based thread a no go for me

Also why do people never make normal portions? Salad, lasagnes and pots of chilli are always huge or massive

Egregious. A pretentious word used by people who think they're clever to describe something they hate.

Reflect for 'think about'. It's only ever used by management wanks or self righteous tossers.

I hate the word snack. I cannot even explain why.

"Gave the kids a snack"

Ugh.

sleeps
as in '3 sleeps till my holiday'

I HATE this. At Christmas I want to commit murder because people all over the place are talking about how many "sleeps" until Christmas. Urgh.

Also hate:
Babe, babes, bubba.

Ickle/likkle. Just makes you sound pathetic especially when said with a baby voice.

Poorly. You mean ill so why not just say this??

Yummy-shouldn't be used by anyone over the age of 5 it just makes you sound stupid.

Banter/bants

Babby -it's baby for christ's sake, I don't care if it's normal to say this in the midlands, it still makes you sound like an idiot.

Boobs or boobies. They're breasts.

Chillax. Just no.

Blessed. In my mind this is is an synonym for smug

Hubby

Date night.

Dove -Not the bird, as in when used by an American to mean went diving or dived. It sounds god awful.

And my most hated of all:
Chow down. This is just a revolting expression and there are no words to describe how awful it is.
