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?

literally - people are using this word without knowing what it means and makes them sound like morons
sourced - you mean 'bought' or 'found', also makes people sound like idiots
shit - and the many expressions which use it. Just a horrible word.

'Amazing' - so over-used for nice but run of the mill things.

A UFO landing in my back garden would be amazing.
Or a 3 year old reading and understanding Winnie The Pooh in Latin.

Belly - horrible word. I'd allow it in the case of the revolting 'beer belly' though.

Judgy - especially when paired with 'pants'. FGS!

Panties - so prissy and twee

Pamper and pampering - don't quite know why I hate them, except that they're so often used In conjunction with spa days/massages, which are about the last things I'd want to 'pamper' myself with.

Wellness

What's wrong with health?

I knew the Aitch/Haitch thing would stir things
The uk (well mn) are so protective of their precious aitch 😆

It’s started to creep into Irish tv with the news presenters saying aitch. You’d get a funny look where I live if you said aitch and not haitch

The "c" word and the "t" word, just so vulgar.

I probably have more that annoy me, but non that are jumping out and I haven't read everyone else's to prompt me

Claredogmum , that reminded me of very many decades ago, when we had another family staying for a few days.

Their youngest dd, 3 or 4, would call out in a long, loud drone from the loo, 'Mummy-will-you-come-to-me-cos-I-am-on-the-lavvy-and-I-have-done-a-jobby.'

I can't have been more than 6, but I was still grossed out!

The up in park up as in I parked up outside the school. FFS. The word parked means what it says and is sufficient.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO SAY UP. It irritates the hell out of me and all the more so because the only people I ever hear saying it are chavs

Sarnie. Is it really so hard to say sandwich?

People's starting a sentence with so when it is completely unnecessary (modern cringe worthy fad)

Also, not a word but people ending sentences with an upward inflection. Never heard this any where until recent years.

'On an evening/morning'
'On christmas'

Hate the word 'banter' and if banning it meant people didn't have it as an excuse, I'm all for it.

Also am not fond of 'outwith' (probably only heard in Scotland), but I'm afraid I absolutely love the Scottish 'jobbie' for poo - sorry @Claredogmum

Panties

Lovely

Mard

BOOBING

literally the worst word in the world.

Would also ban all of the following phrases:

Change his / her bum
Little one
Our little family

Banter I totally agree and of course “Bantz” . I quite like outwith. Very clear.

'Identity as'

I hate that language everyone seems to be using atm. I just told DD off for using it to ask me whether I 'identity as' Chinese. 'I think of myself as Chinese, I also think of myself as British....'

You only 'identity as' something when you know in your heart you are a fraud. You either are or are not, not 'identify as'. Rant over.

Slick

Sweetie (as a pet name - condescending)

Familam

Holibob

Cum

Moist

Holibobs
Hubby / hubster
Mamma bear
Little-man
Fungibility

Oh yeah - famalam 🤮

Moist >shudders

FAB
Quite - in the context of agreeing with someone and trying to sound posh hahaha "person X is awful." "Quite"

@Persea "hubster" lol yeah that's awful!

PJs ("pyjamas" can stay, but not the horrible, horrible abbreviation)
TERF (fuck off with that)
"needs gone" (for people selling stuff
All the DH/DS/DD etc. (I understand it, I just find it cringey)
"healthy snacks" (so smug)
Vulva (just showing off)
Glass of wine (contents fine, but the "glass of" part annoys me so much)

Yes choli-"sarnie" is a Liverpudlian word-not a Northern word.
It became popular in the sixties when trendy Liverpool people started to say "Fab" and "Wacka" and so on.
There are similar words
"leccie" (Electric)
"Brookie" (Brookside)
"Footie" (Football)
"Tarbie" (Jimmy Tarbuck)
Are they children???????
The rest of us do not have to follow this.
