AIBU to ask what words you'd ban?

[1066vegan]

JRM's style guide made me think about this. Top of my list would be "hun", followed closely by "Crimbo" and "hubby".

What words would you love never to have to read or hear again?

Mac n cheese.

🙄

Lolity

Cuppa.

NoTheresa It may be easier if you mentioned some things that you didn't consider common.....

Personally I have lots of books AND and Kindle, which IS really there. I'm reading a fascinating book on it, currently, about microbes.

Ummmm? Wrong thread???

I hate the phrase "my bad" I mean I cannot express how much I hate it 😡

Re fags - I was a bit confused for a moment as up here that refers to cigarettes

Akcho (or however it is spelt for actual/actually)
Obvs (obviously)
Natch (naturally)

Grown ups saying mummy/daddy to their parents 🙄

Using stupid words/phrases " oh is that a woof woof/baa baa/choo choo" no it is a dog/sheep/train

Another vote for incorrect use of ‘myself’
Also ‘ting’ and also calling someone brother when they definitely aren’t.

Text speak, even for texts. In fact, I'd make it an offence punishable by English lessons.

Boobing. Ah!

Mumma
The C--- word
Mucus
Slime and bile.

Clothes that salespeople try and term 'Fun'

Its not FUN - it is just a .......you want me to buy

Role instead of job
Any management wank-speak: reach out, blue-sky thinking, low-hanging fruit etc
Cunt; makes me flinch
Fanny; makes me nauseous
Cock; URGH!
The usual 'moist' 'gusset' 'panties' 'nom' 'holibobs' a 'cheeky' anything, and also 'bralet' 'cold shoulder' 'strappy' and ' culottes' when referring to clothing. I'm a bad-tempered old-boot these days and I do like to swear a lot which seems a bit of a contradiction.

"Little family".

Prince/Princess in reference to someone’s son or daughter 🤮

This is probably a bit niche, but I have pet snakes, and there's a whole twee language about them that's grown up online in recent years. They're now not just snakes, they're sneks, or danger noodles, or nope ropes, or if it's a large one it might be a big thicc boi. When I post pictures of mine on Facebook, some people will comment "Aww, boop that snoot!"

It all detracts from their essential snake dignity

Quantocks that is wonderful!

Mumpreneur
Girl boss (yuck)
“Full time mummy”
Boob (when used as a verb instead of to breastfeed)
Hubby

Holibobs
Famalam
Boobing
Magical
Hubster

And the slightly ridiculous one;

Meal.

God, i hate that word. No idea why.

It’s feeling quite unwise to post anything on MN anymore

The word 'twee'. After years of being on here, I still haven't a clue what it even means, but it sounds so babyish and stupid. Not something anyone over the age of 9 would use.

Hubster
Innit
Beef.. As in he had ' beef' with him.. As in trouble. My ds says it all the time. It drives us mad.

Anyways........
When did that word become plural???????
When i see it i want to reply IT'S ANYWAY.... ANYWAY.... THERE IS NO 'S' IN ANYWAY

Words such as 'moist' and 'gusset' should still be allowed in I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue though. They're traditional there.

I hate “piping hot”. Mainly because anyone who says it does do in a shouty voice with bulging eyes - “It must be PIPING HOT!!!”

I also hate “threw his / her toys out the pram”. So bloody rude, your colleague is pissed off, he isn’t an infant.

“Snowed under” or “snowed” - because people who say it do so slowly, with big eyes and slowly nodding heads.
