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?

1066

Oh that's different then! I'd thought it disrespectful to willies! Now I shall proudly say willy nilly, willy nilly!! (IYSWIM)

constant "like" in conversation or monologue
"Can i Get"
Starting sentences with "so"

Saying "yes,no.."
A regional thing but saying "absolutely" instead of a pain old "yes"

Agree with "cray cray". Sounds ridiculous.

Will add "eleventh billion" . Also sounds stupid.

Thigh 'cabal' is indeed a battle cry! it can disturb one's sleep if one has no machete to hand!

Also a step-dodwell can be better than a dodwell in certain cases! Hurrah for the Moolays!

Fuck you, autocorrect.

Eleventy billion. Ban it.

Vagina, that really gives me the willies.

Décolletage, so déclassé, it makes me think of Wurzel Gummidge.

Whoop whoop whoop bigging it up for the Moolays!

Hurrah for Willy Nilly Moolays everywhere.

Wurzel Gummidge, sigh, a heartthrob of my childhood, Spoke so much sense along with Catweasle.

No. Fuck you. Signed, Autocorrect.

MartiniDry don’t get excited, am not criticising the act of breastfeeding, just the expression ‘boobing’.

YoTheGin sorry, I wasn't being snarky. There's no excitement and I didn't think for a second that you were criticising bf. 🙂
I simply don't comprehend the connection between "boobing" and "Pikey" and was wondering if either/both have meanings which are different to my understanding of the words.

Fancy. Used in any manner except for expensive, showy.

Fag. Should go the way of the 'n' word.

Shag. Shag is carpet. Having sex is having a screw, having a fuqk, having sex.

C word. It is disrespectful to women, full stop.

Calling yourself a 'mummy' when not addressing your own children. Unless, of course, you use it for the bandaged dudes from Egypt.

Dudes: that word should also be banned.

Narc or narcissist.

Every woman and her dog seems to have a "narc" in their life. Really? Are all these people diagnosed as such by medical professionals?

Yeh, cuppa. Shit word. And also ‘pop’. As in “pop to the shop”. Also a shit word. Sounds so odd.

😂

MartiniDry thanks. Should add Pikey to the list really as is a horrible word.

'Batshit'

(In the sense of 'mad' rather than 'guano')

Overused and irritating.

Offended / offensive

Everyone is offended these days. Grow up!

Valenta we could describe people as being really guano, I'm sure it would soon catch on!

Anything ending in -phobe unless fear is involved!

I might try it, Slocombe

Also Toffs. Irritating ex-NDN, now sadly deceased, who was always saying people were Toffs or being Toffish. For example, apparently only Toffs go to rugby matches. Real people go to football.

He would have said Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson were toffs. I think there are many other names people would have for them.

Anything ending in -phobe unless fear is involved!

You’re right, even though it will entail the rewriting of chemistry textbooks and scientific papers which refer to hydrophobicity and hydrophobes.

I doff my cap to your pedantry, Norber !

I was not the best of scholars;-)
