Panties is creepy and bossbabe makes me wince

mabelsgarden · 23/05/2019 16:12

I agree......

pussy, cock, and cum are all quite vile.

I say fanny, willie, and JIZ. (Don't judge me.) Blush

Eats as a noun, ‘good eats’. No. Same with the way they use ‘bakes’ on Bake Off. I don’t know why.

Supper. Cluster. Utterly. Lush. Bliss.

'nom nom nom!'

One of my friend refers to all food as "noms" or "nommies", and via text calls a sandwich a "sammich".

Bleughhhh Angry

I hate panties too. They keep playing Abracadabra on the radio and it sticks in my head, 'Black panties with an Angel's face"🤢

I also hate Hun.

TheLoneWolfDies · 23/05/2019 16:16

Tmartnmum minge is horrible, slash... wouldn't use it but my brother says it, doesn't really bother me.

Yes cum is pretty vile!

blondebob · 23/05/2019 16:17

Blah Blah Blah 🤮

Narya · 23/05/2019 16:17

Banter

or even worse 'bantz'

AzraiL · 23/05/2019 16:17

Panties and moist. I cringe if I hear those words. And if anyone tries to use both in the same sentence I get a twitch in my left eye.

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 23/05/2019 16:18

Boob used as a way to describe feeding e.g "I was boobing the baby", "the baby wants boob" or even worse, recently overheard "Molly still LOVES boobie, don't you darling?" Just be a grown up and say breastfeeding for fucks sake Hmm

Bluestitch · 23/05/2019 16:19

Urgh at 'nommies!'

I also hate 'cheeky' used to describe food. Wtf is a 'cheeky Nandos'?

TheLoneWolfDies · 23/05/2019 16:19

Tummy aswell! Hate it!

Bluestitch · 23/05/2019 16:20

Yes boobing as a verb makes me feel sick.

recrudescence · 23/05/2019 16:20

I hate tummy and belly.

HalfBloodPrincess · 23/05/2019 16:20

Digit. But only when talking about your fingers. I hate it

whothedaddy · 23/05/2019 16:22

I could be here for hours with a big list.

Hun (always comes across passive aggressive)
Hubby/ Babe
Claggy
Any slang or purposefully incorrect spellings used by anyone over 25 (naice, peng, fit, preggers, hollibobs, ...)
Anything over familiar...mate? Sorry, who are you?
When people use was/were of/have bought/brought incorrectly.
Slang/smileys in work emails. It is a formal mode of communication please be professional.

However my biggest bug bear is when people say 'no problem'. Especially in a work setting. Well actually Brenda it is a bloody problem or I wouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

ILoveMaxiBondi · 23/05/2019 16:23

Who the fook invented that/started that???

Same person that started “fook”

Hate that. It’s fuck. No-one says fook.

dalmatianmad · 23/05/2019 16:24

Hubby

Hubster

Preggers

Namestheyareachangin · 23/05/2019 16:24

There are no good words for boob really. "Breasts" or "bosoms" sound matronly and try-hard, "boobs' and diminutives thereof excessively "matey", and "tits" is vile and porny. All other words sound either infantile or teenage. Sigh.

whothedaddy · 23/05/2019 16:25

I'm aware this makes me sound like a huge fun sponge

TheLoneWolfDies · 23/05/2019 16:29

Namestheyareachangin mammary glands? I actually think boobs is fine, there really is nothing else to call the bloody things!

IJustLostTheGame · 23/05/2019 16:31

Nom
Veggies
Cuppa
Tasty
Hun
Vulva, makes me think of estate cars. Big old creaky estate cars.

EstuaryBird · 23/05/2019 16:31

Banter or, even worse, ‘bants’......urgh

A few weeks ago was with friend in restaurant. Woman at next table had already used ‘holibobs’ and ‘famalam’ before her food arrived. Once she started eating there was a lot (a LOT) of mmmmm, nom, nom, nom... seriously put me off my dinner. But worse was to come. When she finished eating she hugged herself and said.... yummy in my tummy!

I hate her.
