'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

Oh oh 'dish'. 'That's a really tasty dish'

I get the dislike of twee words like “lashings”/“nom nom“ etc. I can kind of understand disliking “foodstuff” (is it because it makes food sound like a non-food object?). “Helping” I’m guessing is seen as a bit common. But what on earth is the issue with the word “meal”?? What word do you use instead of it? Genuinely confused...

I can't stand the word "meal", I don't know what it is about it but I just don't like it at all. My mum always asks "have you had your meal?" if she phones in the evening. It's not something I could ask!

'Meal' is so divisive!

It's too long and drawn out meeeealllll

@rabbitsnose at least that makes sense!

Eateries. 😠

I hate the word 'feedback', if someone asks me for feedback it makes me think of those mother birds regurgitating food to their young not envy

I hate "cheeky" when used to refer to food and drink, as in "cheeky pint" or "cheeky cupcake".

That's strange, the word 'meal' makes me grit my teeth too.

This one isn't so much the word but when it's used this way:
'Reader, I shit the bed'
'Reader, it was a coffee bean'

Whoever is reading knows they are reading, it's not a conversation

When would you use ‘meal’ in every day life?

“Let’s go out for a meal together sometime.”
^ I guess you’d say dinner/lunch?

How do you feel about ‘meal planning’? As in writing down dinners/lunches for the week ahead of time.

And ‘meal prep’?

Yes I don't like reader in that context either

No one ever says 'let's have a meal', do they? Everyone says, 'are you free for lunch/dinner?'

Meal prep is strangely fine.

Can't abide 'prepped' or 'let's'.

Yeah reader is another one that’s a bit twee (apart from in the original Austen of course!) but I’m still not understanding meal. It’s not pronounced in a drawn out way?

Gotten.

When people say “I’m just POPPING/NIPPING somewhere” not sure why but it infuriates me

I can't stand the use of "fabulous" in relation to food, or even worse, "to die for" 🙄😱

Popping. As in ‘I was just popping to the shop’. It makes me irrationally angry.

This on peas:

Tasters unanimously favored the smaller peas for their sweeter flavor and creamier texture. Regular peas were by no means unacceptable but had tougher skins and mealier interiors.

Mealier

Oh and “ladies who lunch” fucking hate that saying

Oh god and

"Go figure"

No, fuck off.

@TheAdhesiveDuckDeficiency great minds think alike eh?
