The word ‘boyfriend’. It just sounds so clunky, I always said ‘I am whoevers girlfriend’ to avoid it, and am v happy I can say partner now I’m old Grin

Doesn’t help that my DM now has one but they don’t live together so I can’t really call him a partner. Aargh, horrid word back in my life!

"Gusset" makes me feel like I'm going to be sick

BloodyDisgrace · 23/05/2019 15:24

panties
I'm good - instead of I'm well, or I'm fine
a good read - about a book. Sounds like "a good shit".
curmudgeon - too stuffy and old-fashioned.

'Hun'.....i bloody hate it and i judge people who use it.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 23/05/2019 15:25

Panty. Hate panty liner, or panties. Yuk.

Minge. It makes me clench all over when anyone uses it. Fortunately it's not that common any more but it's still vile.

Can I get? I want to get a knife and impale folk to the wall with it when anyone uses "can I get..." in a restaurant. No, you may not get. You may starve until you learn to use appropriate language.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 23/05/2019 15:27

Also "babe" or "baby" for another adult. Get to fuck with that.

Eatery
There are many I dislike but that's the only one I can think of right now.

DesperadoDan · 23/05/2019 15:28

Vulva, what a truly awful word.

Iloveacurry · 23/05/2019 15:28

‘Hun’ ... hate it.

Krazykitty · 23/05/2019 15:28

I hate the word ‘supper’ I have no idea why, the word always makes me cringe and has done since a child Blush

Hubby.

HappyDinosaur · 23/05/2019 15:29

I really can't stand 'naice', which seems to come up on here a lot!

Krazykitty · 23/05/2019 15:30

Ah yes moist, can’t stand that either

FudgeBrownie2019 · 23/05/2019 15:30

God yes, "hubby" is vile, too. I know someone who calls her DH "hubbalub" and I have to sit on my hands so I don't take off my shoes and throw them at her head.

GladAllOver · 23/05/2019 15:31

B**t

"my brood" referring to a woman's children. Fine if you're talking about ducklings, but it's both twee and smug when talking about humans.

BaldricksWife · 23/05/2019 15:31

Snack.
