what word can you just not stand , it makes you cringe?

[Picklemuncher123]

I cant stand the world nipple :')

'Nurseling' I belong to a breastfeeding support forum and a lot of women refer to their breastfeeding children as 'nurselings' 🤢

Also 'babe' as in 'My 12 week old babe'. It's the same amount of letters to type 'baby'...

I think I just find them both really sickly sweet and kind of smug?

Also (wow they are flooding out of me now) people who refer to their child's age as 'my son is 28 months old.' in casual conversation. It drives me nuts, unless I'm your paediatrician or something just say 'he's two.' Or 'he's two and a bit'. I don't need that much detail and I don't want to perform mental division to understand what the f you're talking about.

Am I allowed to proffer the genuine question that everybody is wondering....?
No I'm not! We have spoken before on other threads sad

Sorry - really didn't mean to cause any offence.

Myself and yourself instead of me and you.

to "reach out" to someone.

and particular umbrage towards @ScreamingLadySutch !And 'we lost our mother'. (No you didn't. She died. Bloody twee denialist nonsense.).

Well really no umbrage at all. She is gone, it is up to you to remember her. If you don't, possibly no-one will. Love will always give extra to those who have passed.Anger will gradually delete your soul, but if it was bad, like really bad, you are free now.

I can’t stand “lovely”. If DH buys a birthday or anniversary card for me and the word “lovely” is on it somewhere then he knows to cross it out. He usually proof reads before buying but occasionally the odd one slips through.

I also can’t stand “reach out” meaning “contact”. It reminds me of the Four Tops and I have visions of people with arms like Mr Tickle stretching towards people.

And “yummy” and “tummy” said by adults to adults makes me scream. Used to work with a woman back in the UK who was close to 30 and every day after eating her lunch she would say “mmm! That was yummy for my tummy!” like she was presenting an episode of a children’s TV programme.

Busted when people mean to say broken. It got busted.

“You guys” and “awesome” make me cringe.

"Ayaya" when ever i hear it all can think of is anime girls saying it!!! I HATE ANIME

luv and like
yeah well like

'Kidlets' and 'kiddoes'.

'Left-brained' and 'right-brained'. People are not left-brained or right-brained; that is what some people call a 'neuromyth' and is just one more pseudo-scientific attempt to divide people into categories.

'Fourth Reich', 'EUSSR' and any of these conspiracy theory terms about the EU. Oh, and 'Rothschilds' in any political discussion; it almost always means antisemitism is involved.

'Birthday' in any sentence applied to me; I'm happy to celebrate anyone else's, but I'd like mine to be kept confidential if possible and certainly not to be reminded of it. (And no, it's not today.)

'Thinking outside the box' - that has become such a cliche that it's completely in the box by now!

'Furbabies sets my teeth on edge. They are your bloody pets.'

I don't mind it when it's used of puppies or kittens, but I find it a bit irritating when it's used of adult pets.

Luxe is actually a word in its own right, not a shortening.

I absolutely detest this word and people who say it

Agree with 'passed away' but 'passed' is even worse.
"My uncle has passed,"
Passed what? His driving test? The parcel?
Just say died FFS!

'Throw', 'chuck', 'bung', 'sling' etc. when used in the context of cooking. It's always used to make said cooking operation sound completely effortless and often (on here) make a PP who has said she finds cooking a drudge/effort feel inferior.

'Property ladder', or, worse, 'the ladder'. 'We worked hard and got on the ladder at 21, 2 minutes after leaving university'.

'Lifestyle choice'. Relatedly, 'making poor choices'. So very, very smug.

'Likes to'. Usually used in the context of a husband's or partner's selfish habit that Cannot Be Questioned. 'DH likes to relax after work.'
