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 :)

So agree, Haverhill. My least favourite is pamper.
YUK! So twee.It sounds like wrapping yourself in nappies.

Weirdly moist is OK when it's about a cake, just not when it's about a handshake, or even worse, a gusset! :o

Lol literally!!! We’ve banned that word from our house as DS (7) uses it so incorrectly. He how says things like “I nearly died...figuratively speaking!!!”

The Grammar Nazi facet of my personality is because DM used to be a primary school teacher!!! Bastardising the English language has always pissed me off!!

For some reason I hate the word refreshing.

Weirdly I don't mind 'hit F5 to refresh the screen' but if refresh or refreshing is used in any other context I hate it. I think it's because I knew someone who dragged out the 'shhhh' sound when she said it and I didn't like her and then I grew to hate it the word!

The word 'explore' makes my stomach turn.

I've no idea why! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've no time for 'rocked up' or 'mahoosive', either.

Got more...

'Nursery' for a baby's bedroom.

On the baby theme, 'pushchair' annoys me for some reason. I think because one thing a pushchair is not like (any more) is a chair to be pushed.

'Park' used to mean a playground only. (Acceptable if it's a playground within a proper park)

'Doing' with reference to driving speed. 'I was done for doing 35 in a 30'.

I have a lot of niche dislikes

Don't mind kids
Kiddies totally gives me the creeps

With you on panties too...

Discharge (not envy) ugh!!!

She. People say "haitch" instead of "aich" for the letter H - really makes me very annoyed

I too hate pot. When I used to buy a lot of magazines such as Beautiful Kitchens I noticed that pans had ceased to exist. Every home had extra-wide drawers for their pots. Now ‘pension pot’ torments me. I’m sure that it used to be called a pension fund or just a pension.

Myself when it should be me
Yourself when it should be you
Tiddlers (I confesss I use "kids" but surely that's far less irritating than "tiddlers"!!
Threenager
Familam
Orgasmic when describing things that are not sexual, particularly cups of tea.

I think I basically hate any shortened words. Except can't shan't won't etc.

Kids, tummy, anything kiddified... (OK I seem to be happy with kiddified, but I don't like 'kids'). My oh says 'horse-eees' when he sees them in a field . And sometimes sheep-eees too. I feel as though his parents must have taught him farmyard animals at the age of 2 and a half, then never explained the proper words.

I also hate super, as in ‘I’m super excited’ or ‘it was super hard’. No.

I detest the word ‘utterly.’ Even worse if it’s repeated - ‘it was utterly, utterly beautiful...’ 🤢

And a little local one, some people round my way (West Mids) pronounce ‘poorly’ as ‘poo-ly’. Get away from me. But we also say ‘cock’ as a term of affection and I love that. Alright, cock? 😁 Am I being offensive or affectionate? I am protected by the ambiguity!

I knew someone who used to say 'By the cringe of a minge' when he was surprised by something. Always cracked me up.

Hate twee words for bodily functions - why does anyone have to say what they are going to do when they go to the loo? The words 'wee' and 'poo' makes me absolutely cringe. Maybe acceptable (just) for small children, but for adults????

I don’t like f instead of th either. I watch The Chase but have to mute the TV when The Beast makes his offers. ‘One fousand pounds’. ‘40 fousand pounds’. Someone on Bake-Off did it too & I couldn’t wait for him to go.
Also ‘baby’ annoys me when there’s no ‘your; the; their; my’ before it. E.g. you’ll think differently when baby arrives.

Puberty

I hate poetry, and I really hate twee poetry

Guff

Kids and Nanny or Nanna.

Munch

'Gut health' - blech

'Kiddies' or 'kiddos' - yuck, but 'kids' is fine.

'Smear' as in 'smear test' - horrible horrible word

'Righ now', as in 'Are you kidding right now?' - sigh :(

Babe.....I HATE it!

@CruellaFeinberg sorry

I agree with pamphlet, phlegm and pussy...eeeeewwwwww

I have a friend who starts nearly every sentence with "I turned around and said..." this drives me mad.

"Literally " was it "doh"?

"Really?" No I lied.

I hate lots of the names for women's genitals. Especially when vagina is used to cover the external parts. But, slit, gash, flange, etc creep me out. Minge is ok funnily.
