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?

Chocki or choccie...

The baby babble version of chocolate is always used by someone eating cheap chocolate loudly with slobbering sounds and rustling wrappers, while droning on about how they deserve/ need it, how much/ little they've eaten, and their weight one way or another - how slim they are and how little they eat or how they have put on X amount and really shouldn't... Either way I don't care. Just eat you chocolate quietly.

Meds. It's so melodramatic and whiny.
DH had tonsillitis and said
"I'll be alright when these meds kick in"
It was antibiotics, not bloody methodone.

Chocs - in particular posh chocs.
Cuppa.
Bab.
Bite to eat (or grab a bite).
Grab when what you mean is get or buy.
Pricey.

Bits. When used to mean leftovers or purchases.

I have no idea why, and I know I'm being completely irrational, but I hate the phrase "something to eat". Perhaps I associate it with having to go on days out in the car with my parents, when we would always have to stop off along the way to get "something to eat", and it's become tied up in my mind with 80s service station food. Who knows!

'making memories' - fuck right off!

Hun

Babe

Furbaby (as in, "I'm taking my poor furbaby to the vet later)...sets my teeth on edge.

Playdate ( In Britain, anyway. We never had 'playdates' when I was a kid, we got "invited over to play" or "invited to go to xxx" and that's the way this old git wants it to stay!)

Mansplain

Oh yeah, "I text her earlier" instead of "I texted"....I can't stand that either.

"Awesome"
It's been overused so much that it's now ruined for me.

"Robust"
I wouldn't ban it exactly, I'd just limit the amount of times that people in official roles can use it, because it seems that every organisation these days is having "robust" discussions, or they have a "robust" investment programme and everything is being done "robustly"
