To Really Hate This Word.

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 also hate to hear people call baby/toddler boys 'little man'. Would they call a baby girl 'little woman'?

I hate it when people say womb instead of uterus.

Pulchritudinous is awful.

‘Ah Bless’ referring to a child, just sounds so sanctimonious to me or ‘I am blessed’ put at the end of a smug facebook post, usually relating to a perfect ‘hubby’ Hmm who has washed their car or something similarly trivial.

Pics or worse, piccies, for photos.

Spread for buffet

Fizz for sparkling wine

When people from Yorkshire substitute the word us for our. Eg "we're on us holidays"

When scousers substitute the word thee for there. Eg "no need for him to be angry is thee"

TumblingTumbleWeeds · 20/08/2019 21:53

Row and rowing as in argument. Hate it.

iklboo · 20/08/2019 21:54

Youse for you. You doesn't need a plural. Or worse 'use lot'.

HappyParent2000 · 20/08/2019 21:54

I don’t hate any words but I don’t like the word loaf.

Benjispruce · 20/08/2019 21:56

The C word. Can’t even type it.

chickenyhead · 20/08/2019 22:17

Scrumptious

Hushabyelullaby · 20/08/2019 23:03

There are a few words I hate,
Likkle, panties, gusset, and belly,
Chillax, titties, housecoat, and slacks,
Nom nom, moist, and titties, are silly

The word I truly loathe and despise
And when you use it I will think you're a cock
It's old fashioned, outdated, annoying, and daft
It's a dress.....but never, ever, a FROCK

Hushabyelullaby · 20/08/2019 23:10

Just to add to the twee 'poetry' < term to be used very loosely

Some people in my family refer to farts as windy pops 😬 absolutely makes me die.
