Words that make you cringe

[Elusiveone]

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

Lush
Snacky
Yummy

Lovely as in 'hiya lovely'
Hun
Hubby
Tummy
The last one is irrational but the word cordial instead of squash makes me angry!

Bubs

Bubba

Going forward

So many of these - glad I'm not alone.

Hubs, hubby, little man, cuppa, meal, fresh, blouse, cheeky, breķkie, sups (abbreviated supper - just no), poorly (so glad someone highlighted this terrible wet word).

Also 'beautiful' as a description of food. Okay I guess to say 'the cake looks beautiful', but not 'beautiful meal' (gahh!) Beautiful lasagne, beautiful stew - sounds horrible to me.

Fab.
It just makes me cringe for some reason

Also any type of euphemism for 'died'. No to passing, passing away or passing on.

And, similar to the rainbow path thing for pets - 'gained his wings' for children. I know it's sad but I hate this type of description.

Justpondering2018 "Blouse for some reason"

That reminds me of when I had just paid at an department store in the US and as I walked away the assistant called after me "Enjoy your blouse". It sounded so odd. Americans seem to use the word 'enjoy' differently to what I'm used to in the UK. I have heard YouTubers reviewing cosmetics say things like "I'm really enjoying this eyeshadow".

lilacwine1 "Cliterous" 😂😂😂

Another one: scran. And boak.

Eclectic
Tactile
Iconic
Physically

Sooooo over used.

Using them instead of this or these.

Of course Moist and portion.

Glad I'm not alone. Definitely gusset and nom for me

Oh and tasty 😵

'Beautiful tasty meal'. Send help.

‘Horribly’. Is in ‘The film was horribly boring’ or ‘He was horribly creepy’. It makes all my sphincters tighten - sounds so nauseatingly mealy-mouthed and twee. I’m not a big fan of ‘smelly’ either, or ‘toilets’ so when I read a tearooom review which said ‘The toilets were horribly smelly’ I sank to my knees and gave thanks I’d never had to meet the author.
Also ‘haitch’ for ‘aitch’.
I hate ‘picky tea’, too. And ‘I know, right?’ And ‘Libtard’ and ‘Give your head a wobble’. And people putting too many letters in words fir hyperbole - ‘That’s waaaaay too much’ or ‘The chicken was so dryyyyy’. Christ - so many. I’ve made myself annoyed now.

The phrase "all the trimmings" ( as in "roast beef with all the trimmings") makes me cringe for some reason. As does "put on a good spread" in relation to a buffet or similar.

Saying someone has "passed" is another one . For some reason "passed away" isn't quite as bad but why are people seemingly afraid to just say "died".

Plus all the standard ones like panties, moist etc

Whirlytastic - YES! Someine I know said the other day: ‘The salmon was beautifully fresh . . . ‘ I almost vomited and had a nosebleed at the same time. Makes me shudder.

For Someone

Hun
Moist
Essentially, when used “Essentially, what I’m saying is...”
panties
Nibbles
Snatch
Nom
Snack
Gusset
Silly ‘oop north’ ‘darn sarfff’ nonsense. Neither sound anything like anything!

Snack, I hate it. Also people saying juice when they mean squash, it's never seen a piece of fruit in its life because it's SQUASH!

Grandkids - don't know why I hate it since I don't mind 'kids'.

Amazing - unless something really is amazing. It's so over-used.

Catarrh - can barely even write it without feeling queasy.

Mucus, ditto.

Panties - so coy and simpering and twee.

Drawers - as in knickers. Largely because they conjure up the type of grim old bat my father would call 'Old Flannel-Drawers'.

Loose, when it should be lose.

Tummy
Familam ( that one gives me the RAGE!)
Sups
Holibobs

yummy
scrummy
comfy
roastie
yorkie
poorly

nanna/nan for grandma

This is my 3rd post on this thread but I'm adding another word because it's the worst of the lot to me, yet I managed to forget it when I posted before. I hate 'sleepy', not least because it is usually said when someone is yawning (i.e. "I'm so sleepy") and I have a very strong aversion to seeing/hearing yawning. It makes me murderous for some reason, no idea why though. Horrible horrible word.
