'Foodstuffs' and other words too awful to mention.

[rabbitsnose]

Some words just really make me shudder. Also, 'meal' and 'helping' as in 'another helping of broccoli'. Noooo

Apologies to a PP, but I dislike 'loan' as a verb. 'Loan' is a noun, 'lend' the verb.

I cannot stand the use of 'tummy' for womb. It's inaccurate and twee. I don't understand the problem with saying 'the baby is growing in my womb (or uterus, if you like)'.

'Resilience', particularly when used by people who don't really know what it means and think it's a new take on the good old British stiff upper lip.

'Property ladder'. On that theme, 'master bedroom'. Horrifically class ridden phrase.

Mental health to mean poor mental health

Now this is one I can get fully on board with.

I've even seen BoJo do this.

I sourced a nude heel and a checked trouser and now I'm going to shop the look.

‘Suck it up’ .... Aarrgh!!
‘Lush’ .... describing food ... noooo!!
‘Delish’ .... as above ^^
‘Fur babies’ .... nope

Describing the simplist of things as “amazing” ... you ordered a coffee, I brought you one .... hardly ‘amazing’

“You’re a star/ angel/ bless you” .... **see previous example

“Nom nom“ ... makes me want to vom vom!! There’s something a bit ‘eergghh’ about this trend

Folks/folk. Ughhhhh

Suckle.

"Them ones".

Wauden
Floor is inside,
Ground is outside
I do not clean the ground in my kitchen lol

Hubby
Brekkie
Biccie (for biscuit)

The fashion and beauty singular - a red lip, a black trouser.

Piece when referring to clothes - new 'pieces' for spring.

Men who refer to their cock in the third person - 'he wants you to play with him'

Toms

They're tomatoes

Fluid ...
Moist ... just 🤮 both of these make me think of sex ( but not in a good way... eg: ‘Mop up the fluid, spilt bodily fluids’ and ‘moist’ sponge cake - 😱 )

The fam ... chilling with the fam... hanging out with the fam - No!

‘Tentacle’... it just makes my flesh crawl
‘Obstacle’ ... hated the word since school sports day and the ‘obstacle race’ silly, awkward word

‘Rocking’ a look ....
A ‘cheeky’ red lip, ‘showcasing’ her legs, ‘wowed’ with her look, ‘flaunts’ her taut abs .... where the bloody hell did this sort of hideous narrative come from?? It must be American, surely?
No-one actually speaks like this in real life, do they?🤷‍♀️

Any adult using the word tummy. Unfortunately, so many people use it.

How do you feel about ‘meal planning’? As in writing down dinners/lunches for the week ahead of time. And ‘meal prep’?
Absolutely hideous. Mainly because I never do it.

The word “fancy” makes me shudder

fizzy pop We used to call it 'jaggy juice'

Replenish

As in “ I only need to go to the supermarket to replenish fresh fruit veg & milk “

Fuck off Bree ! who talks like that !

@CatteStreet That's not quite right though, is it? You wouldn't say, "I lended her ten pounds". Well, you might, but you would be wrong.

A few years ago, a friend of mine said about her baby, "he used me as a dummy" and it made me feel a bit queasy. It still does now, even though I since had my own baby and now know exactly what she meant, but still.

Nom nom nom - no no no!
Gotten - we are not in America
Stay Home - as above.

Oh yes and lip. Singular. As in "a red lip" is that just putting lipstick on one lip? Or "a dewy cheek" is that just applying something to one side of your face? And a nude shoe? Ditto.

I agree with many of the ones already mentioned, and would like to add:

Flavourful - mentioned far too much on cookery shows. Not sure what could replace it but it grates on me.

Per calendar month - this only really annoys me when it's used ALL THE TIME on 'Homes Under The Hammer' when talking about property rental. It's the insistence on "per calendar" that bugs me. If you were talking to a friend about renting somewhere you'd just say "it's £600 a month," and they would never think that you meant anything but "per calendar month." (I may have been watching more HUTH recently .)

Wed - to mean married. I've been watching 'Last Tango In Halifax' recently too, and Derek Jacobi's character uses it all the time - "we got wed," "they're getting wed." I think it's to show that he's a bona fide Yorkshireman, but I'm from Yorkshire and have never heard it used like that.

"Haters". In place of sceptics or critics.

Boomer. DS is forever using this to wind me up

'You wouldn't say, "I lended her ten pounds". '

No, you'd say 'I lent her ten pounds', 'lent' being the past tense of 'lend'.

Sumptuous. I can't bear it!

When talking about breastfeeding - Little Arthur loves the boob. He was on the boob all night.

He's a boob monster 😱

Horrendous.

Slap up meal is the worst one for me.
Up for grabs.
Anything "O' Clock" that isn't a time - wine o' clock, for example.

Also hate when someone says, "having a fag" with regards to smoking. Smoking makes me feel ill as it is, let alone the word, 'fag'.
