The "C" word.

It makes me cringe.

Pet peeve

OMFG

halfwitpicker · 07/03/2018 20:05

I hate the c word too.

At the end of the day.

Boak is pretty bad.

This too shall pass makes me want to hurl.

Pots, toms (especially cherry toms), chocs (especially posh chocs).

Lifestyle choice.

RoseWhiteTips · 07/03/2018 20:07

My bad.

RoseWhiteTips · 07/03/2018 20:08

Gives me the rage.

My bad. It doesn't make any sense.

EarlGreyT · 07/03/2018 20:14

Chow down.

i can't abide "myself" or "yourself" in a general conversation

"I read a letter from yourself addressed to myself". No dickhead, it's "I had a letter from you"

CaoNiMa · 07/03/2018 20:15

"How's u?"

Claydermansgirl · 07/03/2018 20:16

Starting a completely new conversation with "so". No no no NO

MaireadMacSweeney · 07/03/2018 20:16

'Never mind' I do mind actually, very much.

pinkmagic1 · 07/03/2018 20:16

Fiancé. It just sounds really smug and poncy. Either you are married or you aren't.

Fortybingowings · 07/03/2018 20:18

Safeguarding.
A word that describes a whole industry that has sprung-up employing people to ‘teach’ professionals about the risks to vulnerable children and adults. In doing-so thus diverting important funds from social services who need funds to actually DO the protection work!

Going forward. 'Also' tacked on the end of a sentance instead of 'as well as'. Both of these regularly taunt me on MN. Moist, panties, anything to do with 'loving you to the moon and back' do us a favour and fuck off to the moon and kindly stay there

SoftBlocks · 07/03/2018 20:23

Supper. I just hate the ‘feel’ of it.

Aprilmightmemynewname · 07/03/2018 20:25

People who say "devil's advocate"

WhatTimeIsItCuckoo · 07/03/2018 20:28

Reach out. I had a letter from a company a while back saying they had tried to 'reach out' to me by email and had failed so they were now 'reaching out' to me by mail. Aarrgh! I subsequently 'reached out' and put the letter in the bin.
