Words that make you cringe

[Elusiveone]

Are there any that make you cringe ? Mine would be:

Lush
Snacky
Yummy

When people say "weary" instead of "wary"...

Prefer hoover to sweep up which sounds so old fashioned

Pop annoys me - make your eyes pop

When people say "weary" instead of "wary"..."

Oh god they're the worst, aren't they?

Always feel like replying 'oh, you felt tired about it?'

@TomRavenscroft

You have my sympathy, but I actually quite like these...I dunno what they're called, I know a 'mondegreen' is a misheard lyric, does the same apply to [basically, just wrong] figures of speech?

I.e., something that goes off poorly is a 'damp squid', idolising somebody is to 'put them on a pedal stool'.

I'm a fan. :D

(Although 'chester drawers' can get in the sea.)

For some reason the words 'foot' and 'rub' in the same sentence make me feel nauseous.

"Cried off"

Thistle, yes, in everyday life they're quite funny; it's just when I'm working with so-called editorial professionals who really should know better that it pees me off!

I think they're malapropisms? Adam Buxton in his podcasts/radio shows has a feature on them and calls them eggcorns after what one of the listeners thought an acorn was called.

I do like 'damp squid'
I don't even mind 'chester drawers'

Tummy (for an adult)

Tummy (for an adult)

I've commented on this already. It's difficult to see what the alternative to tummy would be. I get annoyed by people referring to their whole abdomen - and especially the surface - as their "stomach". Your stomach is on the inside, and it's up in the top left-hand corner, just under your ribs.

Tummy is short for stomach though, Skiiltan. Maybe belly is a more accurate word? More accurate, but also hideous

Interweb, or worse, t'interweb.

woodhill I've never heard of to sweep up, unless someone is referring to sweeping a floor with a broom. What is wrong with just doing the vacuuming? That's what everyone else says where I am from. We talk about the carpets need vacuuming/I vacuumed yesterday, etc.

I'm quite reasonable when it comes to words, until DH says "Front bottom" , or even worse, "Lady fucking Garden".

I do not shit out of my vagina or hang bird feeders off of my mons pubis THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I think when people say stomach, one generally understands that they mean the whole abdominal area.

I've noticed a lot lately on Instagram people are saying 'finna' instead of 'gonna' (gonna is bad enough, its GOING TO) but finna?? Am I reading it totally wrong?

A friend of mine will finish a phone conversation with 'Bye doll' or 'Thanks doll'. Hate it!!

'doll' in that context is very Glaswegian. Is your friend from Glasgow?

Also I get irritated by "this one" on social media smug photos

"Cheeky" as in "just having a cheeky vodka" or a "Cheeky nap" - makes me absolutely cringe (in the context of a "cheeky face" or "Cheeky fucker" it's fine).
