Pube/Pubes.

Clean123 · 23/05/2019 15:52

Artisan, everything is artisanal these days Hmm

When I was a kid the word 'relax' made me irrationally angry, especially when said by my dad when I was stressed about something! Blush

mabelsgarden · 23/05/2019 15:57

I hate NAICE, instead of NICE. Who the fook invented that/started that??? If I see a thread with an original post with that in it, I instantly leave the thread. Really pisses me off.

Also, people saying 'we need to be more transparent' that many people say (usually on interviews on the news,) to mean we need to be more honest and clear. Transparent (to me) has always meant see-through (like glass windows!) Just stop it!!! Angry

'A loaded sentence' really pisses me off for some reason!

'teamwork makes the dream work' trotted out by the cuntiest managers.

Anyone calling their man their 'boyfriend' when they're over 40, makes me cringe.

Also hate...

'preggo'

'holibobs'

'sainsbo's'

'nom nom nom!' (fuckoff fuckoff fuckoff!) Hmm

'I'll expect you when I see you.' Hmm

One thing that REEEEEEEEEALLY pisses me off though is not a mumsnet thing; it's a weird 2010's thing ... This newfangled way of saying something new coming out has 'just DROPPED!' Confused

'The new Taylor swift album just DROPPED.'
'The new trailer for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood just DROPPED.'
'The new single by Ed Sheeran drops on Monday.'

What.

The.

Actual.

FUCK?

What happened to saying the new album/film trailer/single is RELEASED?!

Dropped doesn't even make a remote fraction of grammatical sense

From Google...

dropped

adjective
1.
having fallen or been allowed to fall vertically.
"I have been trying to keep this area free of dropped apples"
2.
made low or lower than is usual.
"organza dresses with dropped waists"
3.
to let someone go/free yourself from them.
I dropped Maria as a friend as she kept letting me down.

Where in the name of SHIT did the idea come from to use the word DROPPED/DROPS for a new single/book/album/film trailer being released? confused

Gives me the rage! Angry

DHhasahobbyanditsnotcycling · 23/05/2019 15:57

When said in a smug and lecturing tone: vulva
Yes, we know what it is, and I still chose the anatomically incorrect word "vagina". Get over it.

Naice

I am sure there are more, but I try to ignore them when they are written

My serious pet hate is the use of the word "Of" instead of "Have".
Just why does anyone do that Confused?

Cringiest word for me - I know I am weird - is KNICKERS!

Prettypetal85 · 23/05/2019 16:00

I hate it when people call vegetables ‘veggies’ eurgh

TheLoneWolfDies · 23/05/2019 16:04

A bit vulgar but I HATE when people use 'pussy' for vagina, or 'cock' for penis. So disgusting to me for some reason.

Also a moist hater here!

Bluestitch · 23/05/2019 16:05

Gifted (as a verb). Where did this come from?!

Tee (short for T-shirt). I hate it so much, when I see it in fashion magazines, shops etc it makes me angry.

ShitAtScarbble · 23/05/2019 16:07

A bit vulgar but I HATE when people use 'pussy' for vagina, or 'cock' for penis

If I ever see the word 'cum' (boaks just typing it) it makes me recoil in horror. It's such a horrible porny word - why would anyone use it?

@mrsjayy I actually can't stand the word 'coleslaw' and say 'slaw' to avoid having to say it Blush

Oh and I hate it when 'Lieutenant' is pronounced "lootenant" when referencing a British military rank. Same with 'privacy' with an I as in 'I' instead of an 'I' as in 'in'. I could go on and on!

Yep, I'm fussy and probably very annoying Grin

NannyRed · 23/05/2019 16:10

Panties.

Pants are ok. Knickers, drawers, kegs, bloomers, undies....no problem but panties makes me cringe. Somehow it just sounds pervy and creepy.

TheLoneWolfDies · 23/05/2019 16:11

Tmartnmum No dick doesnt bother me at all, I actually use that one 😂 i dont know why the others bother me so much.
