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 :)

Sumptuous is the worst word ever!

Cheeky. Just stop it.

'PJs'. Hate, hate, hate it. But nobody seems to say pyjamas any more.

'Activity' gets on my nerves, particularly in the context of something productive/improving that children do. It's got an edge of smug.

Sumptuous is the worst word ever!

One of them. With mellifluous.

When people say “my good self” or “your good self” I could scream.

Any corporate business speak eg blue sky thinking, Brain storm, singing from the same hymn sheet or similar. I used to have a boss like David Brent, both looks and mannerisms. When The Office first started, I cringed watching it!! Now I see that was the genius of it!

Or he's instead of his. The only one that really gets me.

Words are just words.

Although hubs, hubby and hubster make me want to vomit.

Pamplemousecat · 21/08/2019 22:23
