‘E-meet’ ???????
What fresh hell is this??

Consider it added to my list !

Nourish.

I love to nourish my body.
My body may not be perfect but it is healthy and nourished.
I like to ensure that my child gets nourishment from their food.

Bleugh!

Also 'veggies'. Especially when preceded by 'loads of'.

@Rystall I know right?!

Oh I have an even worse one.
Someone who is the new business manager at their company emailed me regarding work and their actual job title was "Head of Making Friends". WTF!

I said oh my god uuuugh our loud alone at my desk at home. And didn't reply.

Belly, I think it sounds a bit vulgar.
Tummy, sounds twee
I hate when pubs do short hand for food "veg, new pots, yorks"
I hate veggie for vegetarian
I also really hate it when people use yep, yup, yip, nope.
The phrase "bang on trend".

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 23/05/2019 19:31

Morn.

Unless you are Shakespeare or Sean Da Paul, please can we say morning.

Purplehammer · 23/05/2019 19:31

Tummy should never be said by anyone over 5 yo.
Does anybody actually ‘throw’ something in the oven.
Can’t recall seeing anybody ‘pop’ in the local co-op.
Wonder how far it would be possible to throw a party.

ThatCurlyGirl · 23/05/2019 19:32

I've realised how many words I hate. Two words but FUR BABIES. It makes me cringe so much but I know I'm being unreasonable, it shouldn't do. But it does. shudder

Ronsters · 23/05/2019 19:32

I agree about hee hee for laughing. Worse still is tee hee, outside The Beano, who actually, ever says that?

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 23/05/2019 19:34

Oh and (controversially) "text" when used in the past tense.

Ikabod · 23/05/2019 19:35

Incentivise.

Whathappendtomonday · 23/05/2019 19:35

LittleHaloToo · 23/05/2019 19:38

“Paradigm”
“Nuanced”
Everything being a “journey”

So Overused. Makes me cringe. Find a new word please.

Snuffalo · 23/05/2019 19:38

“Rock up” to describe arriving somewhere.
