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?

@forallthesaints ‘big’ and ‘little’? That’s a new one! Is there any context here or do you just prefer ‘large’ and ‘small’?

Spunk is a word I dislike, connotations of small boys behind the bike sheds.

Twenty Twelve as in the London Twenty Twelve games, fuck off it was the Two Thousand and Twelve games. Same with Team GG, makes me cringe.

Thank Dangly. Yes to willy nilly. Willy is a perfectly good word on its own. What is a 'nilly' any way?

Obling.

I have a totally and utterly irrational dislike for the word oblong.

It makes my stomach churn.

I have no idea why. I can't defend it logically. The word makes me feel queasy.

Oh, 'lil'. As in 'lil man'

^ oops, I obviously dislike it so much that I couldn't bring myself to type it correctly

Oblong [not envy]

Womble yes that is my issue too, Willies are never nilly!!

They can be willy willy not though!

'Literally' as in 'I was literally starving to death', no no you weren't.

Panties, moist, mumpreneur and visual storyteller.

@Elision I just think they are overused, and the things or events described as such often aren't. It is part of the inflation of language.

Awesome, epic, lit- they give me the rage!

all when used incorrectly.

inapproriate, it's wrong really, in all senses.
issue, when not referring to Private Eye etc

Most of the swear words used on here without which many posters seem incapable or writing yet consider themselves to be good parents.

Grim. It's a word which makes me want to recoil from the user. I have no idea why.

Super (as an adjective). It's a horribly try-hard middle class term!

Myself. It's rarely used properly. Don't.

'The fam' instead of family and all similar abbreviations such as lippy for lipstick.

Town name abbreviations like Darlo (Darlington) and Barney (Barnard Castle).

Quality, as in "Do you like my shirt?" "Yeah, it's quality".
"How was your day at Wimbledon?"
"Quality!".

LadyRannaldini are you suggesting that me writing 'cunt' on here affects my parenting ability?

Never heard of confraggle.
Users of Nom should be fired from a rocket and sent into space.
Think I have a small crush on anothernotherone

'NAMALT'. The biggest enabler of misandric discussion and regularly used to shut down disagreement with statements like "all men are ok with rape" (an actual quote from earlier this week)?

Lush . I don't mind the shop though .

A piece - referring to an item of clothing.

Hubby

going forward

"And Boobing is little more than Pikey."

This is a genuine question. What does that sentence mean, Gin?!

proactive

Tomoz 🤮

Nork - as used on Mn.

@Elision Wtf are you actually talking about? xenophobia would be wanting to cause harm to Americans. What we are taking about is getting pissed off (not pissed) at Brits copying them. Do you really not understand the difference?

Boobing - again seen here. Just noooooooo
🤢
