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?

"Butt"! So American I hate it!

Also I hate "cuppa" like a pp said. Brew is perfectly acceptable but theres something about the word cuppa that winds me right up. Maybe because I have a colleague who says every day on the dot of 3pm "anyone fancy a cuppa?"

Anyhoo

Property - It's a house, flat, bungalow, whatever. Very occasionally the neutral word is appropriate but mostly it's not. Especially if you bloody live there.

Narc as in narcissist. I didn't refer to my dh as a schiz, even though he has an actual diagnosis. Referring to anyone as a narc seems to mean 'person who annoyed me or who I don't like but have to see'. It's a major diagnosis FFS.

The constant use of "like" ten times in every fucking sentence.

Makes me murderous.

Also hate the use of "so" starting the answer to a question. Just answer the damn question.

Unique - on baby name threads. The word they are looking for is unusual!

Yous- it makes me shudder every time !!

Hubby
Hun
Yourself
Panties
Beverage

If anyone said "This moist din dins was made by the capable hands of Flo the yummy mummy who is literally a right quim" I'd kill them. Harsh but fair.

Front bottom - whoever invented this expression should be exterminated - painfully. It's so absurd and irritates the fuck out of me whenever I see it.

Holibobs
Making memories

Little ones
Fanjo
Chillax

All management speak

Oh there's another- adulting. As in 'I'm finding it hard to adult today' 🙄

Poorly. It sounds so feeble.

Furbaby.
Errr no, it's a dog

Peng
Fleek
Cuppa
Methinks
Snowflake (when used as an insult)
Lip/shoe (in singular when describing a plural, e.g. ‘I wore a nude lip’)
Holidaying

But above everything:
Gifted. Why is ‘gave’ not enough?

Cuppa and Brew are very common expressions. Cup or mug of tea. But that is another thread entirely.

Americanisms, mainly. Gotten. Can I get. Using mad to mean cross. Movie instead of film.

Woke
Remoaner
Snowflake
Cool wife

Gobsmacked and Gutted.

I hate them, they're so ubiquitous, especially on TV.

Uni. especially but not exclusively when referring to the local further education college.

Inappropriate use of myself/yourself.

Transphobic

Hubby
Girlie as in girlie night out / shopping trip / spa day
Bubba
Hubby
Pampering

I literally love ❤ the unnecessary insertion of Latin and Greek in everyday speach, it makes me come over all, it gives me the agape.

All I know is that British people who get angry about ‘Americanisms’ are xenophobic idiots. I expect to see several of you in here.

And Boobing is little more than Pikey.

I don't mind cuppa as much as cuppie (used to mean a cup of tea) - is that dialect anywhere, or is the person I know who says that just trying to be cutsie?

I don't like "what's not to like?" Or statements followed by "no?" - I know full well they're meant to be rhetorical obviously, but hearing or reading either gives me the arge to argue no matter what the person has just assumed to be self evident!

I hate the word 'confraggle' it gets me all discombobulated every time! So unnecessary!
