To Really Hate This Word.

Hollanda40 · 20/08/2019 14:41

There's lots of words I quite dislike,
That really make me cringe...
"Panties" and "gusset" are right up there
And so, of course, is "minge".

Children aren't kids, that's baby goats,
And I don't really call DH "hubs"...
I call both my children by their proper names
(I also hate "bae", "boo" or "bubs").

You've now seen my most disliked words,
So now I hate to foist
On you, the worst one of them ALL...
It can only be bloody "moist"!!!

😀

Just a little rhyme to cheer you all up on a Tuesday afternoon :)

I hate "hubby/hubster/familam". Makes me want to vomit.

SirJamesTalbotAndHisSpeculum · 20/08/2019 14:49

Role.

Why can't people just say Job?

stayathomer · 20/08/2019 14:49

I like kids, I find it's more fun than children- 'We took the children to the zoo today' sounds awful to me!!! I've used the word 'hubby' and cringed at myselfGrin

Bedsheets4knickers · 20/08/2019 14:50

Chores , can't stand that word . Also belly .

Hollanda40 · 20/08/2019 14:51

Haha Role...just reminds me of The Rock. "Know your role!" 😂

Grown adults who say icky. Gawd it makes me want to pull their leg off and beat them with the soggy end.

Thesuzle · 20/08/2019 14:53

Holibobs - holidays

youarenotkiddingme · 20/08/2019 14:53

I use kids 🤷‍♀️

Know someone who can't abide moist. Literally makes her shudder.

I don't like Hubs or Hun.

It makes my skin crawl when people call me hun. Which is probably ridiculous Grin

loobywench · 20/08/2019 14:56

Can't stand hun. Makes me cringe every time i hear it or more often than not see it in messages

CassianAndor · 20/08/2019 14:59

hahahaha!

You've included two of my least favourite words in there (moist and gusset).

AryaStarkWolf · 20/08/2019 15:03

Yeah don't see what's wrong with Kids either, children sounds very Mary Poppins to me

MyCatsHat · 20/08/2019 15:06

Urgh yes role! So annoying! It's a job! When I see "role" it just makes me think of someone leaping into the room in elizabethan costume.

I hate loads of words actually, but I love minge! Great word.

joystir59 · 20/08/2019 15:09

Adults who use the word tummy. Cross instead of angry.

joystir59 · 20/08/2019 15:10

When people pronounce sixth as sixt, and anaesthetic as anaestetic.

joystir59 · 20/08/2019 15:11

Pacific for specific

SoftBlocks · 20/08/2019 15:18

Supper.

SirJamesTalbotAndHisSpeculum · 20/08/2019 15:24

Belly.

Tummy.

Please - just say abdomen.

Laiste · 20/08/2019 15:27

Saying pissed instead of pissed off.

It's PISSED OFF for god's sake! You're pissed OFF, not drunk.

PivotPivotPivottt · 20/08/2019 15:27

Agree with lots of these especially icky

Poorly
Stinky
Tasty
Yucky
Diddums (see it on here all the time as an insult)
Wee instead of pee
His instead of he's
The smorning (I've even read this smorning!!!!)

JellyNo15 · 20/08/2019 15:27

People saying caughter when it is a Quarter, especially the voiceover man at the start of The Apprentice.

Laiste · 20/08/2019 15:31

@SoftBlocks - Supper.

Oh supper, yes! My old neighbor was a pretentious stuck up cow and she'd always call her kids in for 'supper'.
''Priscilla! Clamidia! Time for suppaaaaaaa''

Oh fuck off!

GibbonLover · 20/08/2019 15:36

I think fanny is worse than minge. Also:
Sicky
Yummy
Ickle

Ones which I think are specific to the city I live in are:
'badly', meaning ill. As is 'I don't like fish, it makes me badly'.
'bains' meaning children. Bairns, like you hear in Scotland and Newcastle is fine but bains sounds dreadful.

PooWillyBumBum · 20/08/2019 15:43

@Laiste sorry, we say supper if it's eaten at home but 'going out for dinner' if you're in a restaurant. Just how I was taught as a kid.

Minge is horrible. As is fanny, flange, or the word 'boob' used instead of 'breastfeed'. I've also always found the names Lesley and Wesley really slimy and disgusting (sorry if that's your name...)

PooWillyBumBum · 20/08/2019 15:44

Also hate 'wee'/'going for a wee'. I don't need to know what you're doing in there!

AmateurSwami · 20/08/2019 15:44

For me it’s the word “pussy”
I don’t even like typing it 🤮
