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!" Angry

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

Also

Meal

Can I 'get' when asking for something in a shop or cafe. No, the assistant will get it for you. That's what he or she is there for.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 18/07/2017 14:26

Hubby - I cringe just thinking about it!

Plus any other derivatives such as 'hubster', 'hublet', 'hubbles', 'husbie'... the list goes on for FAR TOO LONG!

PETRONELLAS · 18/07/2017 14:26

My MIL uses the panties word.
I recoil in disgust.

PookieSnackenberger · 18/07/2017 14:29

I've met my people Grin

Revisited thread to add a couple more only to find they're already here;

belly
nom nom

Just no. Stop talking. Now.

Can we have phrases too? My DH says 'laters' when leaving the house and it makes me want to kill him with a blunt object Grin

PETRONELLAS I'm envisioning her dressed as lil Kim

TroysMammy · 18/07/2017 14:32

Awsome, it sounds so false.
Gob smacked. What's wrong with speechless?

I hate them!!

MSLehrerin · 18/07/2017 14:42

As others have already said:

Moist
Gusset
Meal

I also hate:
Picky tea/lunch

Gives me the rage.

I am, however, a prolific user of c#nt - particularly with a qualifying adjective. 😀

sowhatusernameisnttaken · 18/07/2017 14:42

Mama - as in "I'm a mama to two"
Hubby

Lots of management speak, especially:

Cascade.

FFS, can't you just say circulate?

chips4teaplease · 18/07/2017 14:46

Discombobulate. I instantly lose respect for anyone who uses that word. A good friend was lost that way, last week.

Buddyelf · 18/07/2017 14:47

Moist - makes me want to vomit in my mouth
When people pronounce sandwich 'samidge'
Minge
When people use learn instead of teach, as in 'I'll learn you'. I want to kill when I hear that.
When people say seen instead of saw, as in 'I seen you'
My list could go on and on ......

OneOfTheGrundys · 18/07/2017 14:47

When people say 'yourself'/'myself' instead of 'you' or 'me'.

GallicosCats · 18/07/2017 14:57

Succulent. (Particularly when spoken in that breathy vocal rasp that's supposed to be sensual but just makes me shudder).
Stunning. It never is. Especially not new flats made of ticky-tacky.
Train station.

ems137 · 18/07/2017 14:58

These are all from my exH, I'm glad I barely speak to him anymore because I'd want to scream if I heard the following:

ValentiMes day
He calls our son by his initials and not his name
Laters instead of goodbye
Pacifically instead of specifically

KoalaDownUnder · 18/07/2017 15:02

Moreish. As in, 'Ooh, those nuts are really moreish!'

Fuck. Off.

LeggyLinda · 18/07/2017 15:04

"Methinks"
Don't know why, but it drives me crazy.

JockTamsonsBairns · 18/07/2017 15:12

Snack Angry. Fucking awful word, but not quite as infuriating as 'small snack' AngryAngry.
So glad I'm well beyond toddler group stage now - I don't have to suffer all these parents "offering" Angry small snacks.

'Tis no wonder I struggled to make friends there.
