To Really Hate This Word.

[Hollanda40]

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 :)

Oh and referring to human beings as "resource" at work. Infuriating. I am not a bloody paperclip.

Yy. I always think 'human resources' is such a hideous expression and have no idea how it's become the established one in our time of careful language. Much prefer 'personnel'.

'Main' used to mean 'main course'. 'Our mains arrived after 20 minutes'. Urgh.

And 'wines' as in 'glasses of wine'. I don't mind 'beers', though. That works.

Mine has got to be 'amazeballs'.

I don't mind "youse" at all if it's part of your dialect, but I know someone who is posh and has started using it to try to seem more "with it" and it drives me MAD.

And speaking of "mains", I HATE "bakes" and "makes". "I was really proud of my bakes today" says any GBBO contestant who has just been booted off. Gah!

Though I have to admit part of the joy of watching Bake-off is so I can get riled about people saying "bakes" (as well as getting constantly riled by Paul Hollywood )

Fuddle and huddle. ..the former is a buffet style thing where colleagues bring in edibles and the latter is a team meeting. Both words give me the rage!!!

I fucking hate "pop" as in "just pop it into the washing machine" or whatever. So twee.

And "plate up".

And "suit" when used incorrectly. "Let me know when suits". It is transitive. It needs an object. Only ever seen it on here thankfully.

Pop

Slash - just saw it on another thread 🤢

Holibobs and famalam make me itch.

I hate the use of 'sick' to describe something good, such as 'that car is sick'. Bleurgh

What is wrong with gusset? What do you call that part of your knickers?

"Moving" as in "the ending of the film was so moving". My sister uses it so much and it makes me cringe.

I can’t stand ‘my other half’ (sorry phrase not word)
But other half of what?
I’m a ‘full’ person in my own right!
I don’t need a bloke to make me a whole
Also hate gifted-I was gifted this-no you where given it
Also ‘pudding’ makes me cringe

When a company is mentioned for bad service in a newspaper article and their press release says they are "reaching out" to Mrs Smith. What an irritating phrase to show us that they really CARE. I don't think I have ever "reached out" to anyone. I call or contact them. How dull.

People who say "myself" and "yourself" in preference to "me" and "you" because they think more syllables = correct / cleverer sounding.

"surgeries" when you mean OPERATIONS!

Ample
Succulent.

Dh uses them constantly, I will set him alight one day.

God just reading through the first few pages has given me rage!
My most hated words:
Hubster
Moist
Ickle/lickle/bockle/hospikle
Yummy
Scrummy
When people say or write "he's" for his
Brought instead of bought (or vice versa)
I'm sure there are a fair few more but these are the top of my list!
Thanks OP, I feel lighter for sharing!

I saw 'titties' suggested earlier in thread. Awful, awful word and brought to mind a cautionary tale: one of OH relatives was breastfeeding her young son; he was starting to talk and when hungry would ask for "Tit Tit". Just wrong. The Little Britain breastfeeding sketch was NOT supposed to be a documentary!

To me when adults describe themselves as cross I always think it sounds very dated. Fuming is even worse.
