'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

A yes and similarly to pp saying a red lip; a stonewashed Jean and a sport pump.

Agree with belly

Also, often in writing - a pregnant woman described as having a 'swollen belly' 😩

Gotten - we are not in America

So?

It is widely used in the UK and has been all my life and probably long before. And I'm not young.

Gotten is not an Americanisation. And I will continue to use it.

Gifted! Just a wanky way of saying given or gave. Like the person gifting something is oh so special.

Calling women mama. Hate it.

Odds and sods. Awful phrase.

Space instead of room. Eg, “This is a great space”. It’s the kitchen.

DH has started to say “optics” instead of how it looks - “If we’re going to make redundancies we need to consider the optics of that.” I have told him to stop.

Belly is an awful word.
As is gusset.

As pp have said, "plate" as in 'a lovely plate of food"
And "space" as in "you done something really interesting with this space"

Tasty. My MIL says this about every. Single. Meal (sorry op!) even when we've been out for dinner and it's not been very good, as soon as she's tried it: "ooooh that's really tasty!"
I didn't even notice until dh pointed it out.

I also can't stand "monies" I'm sure it's grammatically correct in some instances but it just seems so over the top. Just use the word money.

Unnecessary use of descriptive words gives me "lashings" of rage. When people are describing what they had for dinner or offering meal ideas:

"Tonight we're having Mexican chilli served with crusty bread and a crisp, green salad." Fuck off.

Anything twee or quaint, tends to make me angry.

Oh and sliver . A "sliver" of cake...

I say loads of these 😂 Currently wearing a grey slipper.

but HATE

Mama ( said in the UK, i'll let Americans off )

Did instead of visited
We 'did' Madrid
We 'did' Greece
We 'did' Paris

'looking to' as in
Looking to buy a house
Grrrrr.........

holibobs.

making memories ( cut my throat first )

On here and I never ever here them out in real life
naice. and the ultimate boak ( boak )

Anything Greg Wallace says.

Hot choc
Movie night
Snuggled
PJs

Any abbreviation.
Any singular that should be plural - eg wide-legged pant

Shooter.

The very over use of the word "like" that teenagers appear to put in every mouthful. The use of workplace that started in the 80's why not say at work.

Cat needs fed
Lounge needs decorated
No the lounge needs TO BE decorated. Or the lounge needs decorating Homes under the Hammer I'm looking at you Mum the cat needs TO BE fed etc.

This gives me the absolute rage!

Also hubster, famalam, boobing.

I hate the phrase 'parents or carers'. Maybe because of the plurality of parents, maybe because some of the kids I've worked with hate the phrase carers to refer to the folk who provide them with little more than a roof over their heads.

Sexy time. Someone called it bam bam on a recent thread. Also my username may start with a mamma but believe me if someone uttered this in real life I would force their head in a kettle and switch it on. Oh and suck it up, I don’t like this one. Any kind of disgusting noise to show enjoyment of food. Scrummy. Very close to scummy.

Picky bits
Gifted

'picky tea' I've never it in real life but it seems to be rife on MN at Christmas time. Awful expression.
I also hate cheesey pasta. It sounds so twee when an adult says it.

Juice is a really strange and irritating word

A “pop” of colour.

“Team” to mean “wear with”

“Beige slacks”

I teamed the camel top with the beige slacks and added a red bangle for a pop of colour,

Pump used in reference to a shoe "put your pumps on"

Quiet meal."I came.home from.work and enjoyed a quiet meal"

Urgh

All those phrases that couples on programmes like Location Location and Escape to the Country use -

We really like this property
This is a lovely space
I can see myself sat in that garden with a glass of wine
We could put our own stamp on this

Stop it NOW, and talk like normal people.

Also hate people saying they "did" places.

"We did Disney last year"
"We did the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre"
"We did Copenhagen last Christmas"

I find it really offensive, like you've been there for an hour/day/week whatever, seen absolutely everything this place has to offer, and ticked it off your list.

Just say "went" or "visited".

Yes! I hate this, it's sounds absolutely awful.
Usually used by those who claim everyone simply must travel because it broadens the mind, when their only conversation topics are either, boring on about the latest place they've 'done' or moaning about there being another Polish supermarket opening down the road.

A red 'lip' instead of just saying lipstick

Curate gives me the rage when not used in the normal museum context

Cuppa

Let's have some 'bubbles' meaning prosecco

'We're' pregnant

Being called Mum by a grown adult as in 'good on you, Mum'

Nom nom is just WRONG

All those phrases that couples on programmes like Location Location and Escape to the Country use

Yes! Also 'light and airy'. Oh, you mean it's a room with a big window?

Smelly.
