Irrational hatred of certain words

[LadyRussell]

I cannot stand the expression “hubby” I have no reason for this at all it just makes me cringe.

WHY?! “My husband, my partner, my other half” all fine “hubby” NOooooooo! I actually secretly judge people who use it

Road Trip? They're really good, if that's what you're really doing.

If you are doing something else that doesn't involve several consecutive days, weeks etc driving to places new and call it a Road Trip, then what you are saying is Really Naff.

Can we add Really Naff to the List?

Also amazeballs and mahoosive

Gifting. Really winds me up. Especially when it is used as a sign for a shop section.
Likewise object to
Tasty
Handcrafted
Piping hot
You can imagine my reaction to the piping hot, handcrafted, tasty tomato soup at my local cafe....

@HateIsNotGood

Exactly. People doing “Road Trips” these days are rarely doing an actual Road Trip.

Oh god. So many....
Hubby, definitely.
Defiantly when you mean definitely
Would of etc.
Anything made up with man in front of it (manflu, mansplaining, manspreading etc) stop making sh1t up.
When people say Math instead of MathS
Bubs/bubba
When people refer to 'baby' instead of THE baby. Drives me insane.

My blood pressure is going through the roof now so I'm going to leave it there.

Great thread, op. It's nice to get that all out there 🙂🙂🙂

Oh, forgot, literally used incorrectly. "I'm literally boiling hot".

preggers 🤢🤮

Aspie. 🤮

And go take you and your "panties" and "panty liners" that absorb "moisture" (wtf? - you mean they absorb 'moisture' from the Planet and not whatever substances that may or may not be exuding from My "Bits"?) and stick them in the Car that you are taking on your Road Not Trip.

Jeez I feel better now (and got the Rice)>

Sainsbos
Sups for supper
To die for - my mum has started saying this and i die a little inside every time
Basically - a favourite of guests on the Jeremy Kyle show and my mum
Pupper when talking about one's dog

Boobing/boobed for breastfeeding. 🤢
Gawjus. It makes my teeth itch.

Pudding

I hate when people say "do you know what I mean?" a million times when telling a story. Yes I know what you f-ing mean, it's not difficult to understand 😂😂

Jelly67 “rarely if ever” tends to be my response to that

Not many irritate me.

I will start with the worst offenders and add to this very short list later:

Kids - when not referring to goats
Partner – as in ‘current bidie-in’
D (any letter of the alphabet)
Mate
Hiya
Hubby/Hubster
Pronouncing "h" as "haitch"
Telly
Babe
Cuppa
Hun
Dude
Crimbo/Convo/Arvo/Any Australian slang term ending in ‘o’
‘of’ in place of ‘have’
Myself, yourself
Brought
Defiantly
Literally
Decimate

Yep math for math

Also meds!! My teens say this!! Drives me insane

Grumpy

Short list?

Poorly

Oh yes Meds

‘Mum’ and ‘dad’. But let me explain.

When someone who is not your sibling or child talks about their mum/dad and just refers to them as ‘mum’ or ‘dad’. Not ‘my mum’ or ‘MY dad’.

Fiancé. It just sounds so wacky, either you are married or you are not.

Every single abbreviation on here. DS DD DF DM DSIL IYSWIM. Sounds like a fucking bunch of 11 year olds.

Going forward... I can not stand it when people say this!

"Gusset".

Particularly when used in conjunction with the equally evil "moist".

Big
Little
Amazing
Super

as they are over-used.
