'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

Tasty
Tasty meals
Veggies
Tasty veggies

Ugh

Plate up
Cuppa
Mental load
Man child
Lashings

Oh yeah forgot about tasty

Also the way magazines made up then overused the word luxe.

Bag yourself a luxe lipstick

"Pre-loved" 😡

You mean second hand.

My dp uses the word pour when talking about putting the dinner out. No matter what we are having, could be a roast. "Can you POUR dinner and ill get everyone a drink?" drives me fucking nuts. You can't pour a fucking solid mate!!!

Pre-loved amuses me because if the person who first bought it loved it that much they'd hardly have got rid of it.

I have an aversion to the word 'refreshing'.

Although weirdly, not 'refresh'. Hit F5 to refresh the screen? Fine. 'A cold glass of water is very refreshing'. Shudders.

I 'brought' it from the shop. Its bought.
And Chester draws. Its drawers. And chest of.

Also, my husband cringes at people who use me instead of my. For example, me bus fare, me cat, me drink. He literally grits his teeth and groans

I really don't get the problem with meal.

However i hate on MN people saying their children "inhale" biscuits or whatever and something was "wolfed down". Gets on my (ample) tits.

omg. Yes . Forgot we're pregnant.

'Making memories' makes me want to projectile vomit

I’ve never even heard some of these and they’re filling me with rage!

Picky tea?! Chester Draws?!?

I don’t think anyone actually says ‘holibobs’ in real life though. Surely not.

I do hate when people come on here to describe something they find disgusting and go ‘boak’ - that’s worst than whatever you’re reacting to

I also don’t like nosh or noshed - once had someone tell me unironically ‘she noshed me off’ and I did not like it one bit

'fuckbuddy' is the worst of the worst for me
'cuddlebuddy' almost as bad

I do hate when people come on here to describe something they find disgusting and go ‘boak’ - that’s worst than whatever you’re reacting to

Boke is an everyday run of the mill word where I'm from, used by young and old alike. But I would find it very odd to hear someone say it in an English accent.

I agree with most of these and it's making me realise how intolerant I am! Some things I hate are regional preference such as 'plated up', whereas I'd say 'dished up'. I also hate 'knocked my door' instead of 'knocked on my door'.

A couple of others that give me the rage are 'need gone' in selling ads, and the media's use of 'side boob' when a woman shows a little bit of breast at the side.

I agree with most of these and it's making me realise how intolerant I am!

Me too. Although it's not a total revelation to me how intolerant I am...

Loathe "travelling" instead of "going on holiday"; quiz shows were mentioned previously - I reckon about 50% of people on them giving their little potted biography say their "hobby" is "travelling". Going on holiday isn't a hobby.

"Boob"and "boobing" - gross. Subtext: no nasty bottle feeding here and I'm such an earth mother.

I hate "booze" too. Obviously, just the word.

It's not just words with me - I really work at being intolerant.
I hate the MN "grin" emoji
Looks like an aged skull
And I hate 😋 after someone's said what food they like. Reminds me of somebody I knew who used to run her tongue wetly around her lips and make a very loud slurping noise - "SCHLUPPPP!" - to show she like a particular thing ("foodstuff" ).
Made me feel sick.

@Cunninghamsarah

Do you mean when adults still call their mum, mum?

I agree with the rest but surely you always keep calling your parents mum and dad?

I have a few I dislike immensely , picky bits , period pads , curated as in "a curated Collection of clothing or makeup " panties, it's always makes me think of dirty old men in raincoats and bad 70s films. Nom noms and any cute names for body parts

‘Meal’ always made me cringe when I was a child. I’m somewhat more indifferent now.

I hate ‘nibbles,’ and ‘supper.’ They both sound so try hard middle class.

I also hate ‘non nom,’ ‘dindins’ and possibly the worst, ‘yummy.’ Also any adult who says ‘tummy’ needs a slap.

Any adult who says ‘yummy in my tummy’ needs putting against a wall imo.

And I hate "joolery" for "jewellery" and "sekkertery" for "secretary".

And people who stick "trained" in front of their job title: eg "I'm a trained vet". Well I would hope so! I don't want you rummaging inside Rover's innards if you've had no training.

And very much agree with a PP who mentioned "mental health". "I've got mental health" or "MH". We all do! It might be better or worse but it won't be absent.
And so often the "MH" is "bipolar".
It's bipolar disorder.
And every time someone is sick they don't necessarily "projectile vomit". That's a very specific symptom and, once seen, won't be mixed up with a vigorous bout of travel sickness again.

Ahem.
I'd better go and have a little rest now for the sake of my "MH"
