Sumptuous. I don't why, I just loathe it.
Bleddy. Nope, the word is BLOODY.
Glay-sher rather than gla-see-er for a river of ice. Unless the speaker is American.
Ciswoman. I have had this argument with one of my DC.

I'm a grumpy old bat and it's not going to improve as I get older.

Fag/cigarette....

I don’t know why. I will not say the words. I will say smoke or the brand of stuff.

I don’t smoke. Never have and hate the stuff. My dh does

AnduinsGirl · 23/05/2019 18:31

Methinks - urgh, literally the only people I've heard say this word are people I violently dislike.

Scrummy - can you get any more twee?

Naughty, as in stupid fucking people dithering over whether to have a piece of cake. "Oooooooooooooh I'm so naughty." Gives me the rage!

Bliss. Especially used like this:

"Then I dip the corn cakes in the decaf green tea. Bliss!"

Sloppy

Ever since an ex stepkid who uses it to describe her bowel motions

Won't be trying sloppy joes if I ever make it to America

PanamaPattie · 23/05/2019 18:38

Likethebattle I had to walk through the Discharge Lounge in a hospital the other day

grincheux · 23/05/2019 18:44

To 'wick away moisture', chocs, referring to a baby as just 'baby' (as in 'I was putting baby to bed'), lip smacking...

FairyDogMother11 · 23/05/2019 18:44

I hate belly and tummy! No one has ever agreed with me, they all think I'm weird so I'm very glad it's not just me Grin
