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.

Foodie. Because you invented cooking and eating in around 1998.
Scrummy.

PecanSandy · 18/07/2017 18:59

Oh yeah, someone else beat me to it: pantyhose. Except you have to pronounce it "pannyhose". Just sounds insulting to women.

MOIST!

"Mothers Milk" makes me shudder. Even just typing it. Love Mad Max the film but they said it so many times I cringed.

val4 · 18/07/2017 19:03

The way my mother says Wednesday as three syllables -wed-nes-day.....with pause between each syllable. I know technically she is correct but it gives me the rage!

That pram brand 'ickle bubba' really irritates me for some reason. Just sounds awful.

thebigbluedustbin · 18/07/2017 19:13

Glad someone thinks I'm an idiot.

I dislike words like jeggings and athleisure. Jedward was good though but that was different, even if they weren't.

watchingitallagain · 18/07/2017 19:26
