'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

I hate the word proactive. Meal can be replaced with breakfast, lunch, dinner.

When there’s a large amount of food and someone says “they put on a lovely spread”

A previous poster says their partner dislikes the use of me instead of my, I really like hearing people speak that way! My late father was from Wrexham and everything was ‘me’ (usually: did I leave me housekey here loov? )

Common one used by the Daily Mail that I hate is 'slammed'. Today they have "Gordon Ramsey is slammed by social media".

Another I hate is used by the fashion industry when a new product or season is out. "Dropped". A Men's Health Magazine headline yesterday was "Louis Vuitton Just Dropped A $4000 Designer Dumbbell Set"
Dropped it where? On the floor? I hate it so much!

The phrase "needs doing". Like "the DIY needs doing".

Devoured.

Holibops. Fuck off.

@BoysRule

'Trimmings' when a roast dinner is advertised in a pub or restaurant.

Sunday roast with all the trimmings

I detest this phrase too, in our local area it is also often accompanied by one of my other pet hates 'washed down with' as in 'washed down with a pint of our guest ale or house white'

“Space”. It’s a lovely “space” 🙄
And
“Like”. Like I went to the shops and like they had hand wash and like it was......ahhhhgggg

“Bringing up the rear”

When people refer to their husband as “the hubster” makes me feel sick 🤢

Took delivery of

We’re pregnant 🙄🤔🤷‍♂️

‘Cohort’ pisses me off.

Bestie or best friend....kindof insulting to the friends that don’t make the grade 😂😬🙈

@ofwarren Yes! Dropped... where the hell has that come from? Taylor Swift has dropped her new album. Chanel has dropped its new collection.

What the hell is wrong with released? Launched? Gahhhh!

Nibbles.
Holibobs.
Drinkies (worse - drinky poos).
Hubby/Hubs/Hubster.

🤢

My husband’s is a big “ask” - I know it’s a big “ask”

I just can't bear when someone says "I'm PREGGO" or DEFFO. It sounds so bad
Also when my husband speaks to any woman he says "madam" like "Excuse me madam". I told him that not every woman likes to be called madam. I would definitely not like it.

"Lounge" instead of "sitting room". Always makes me think of an airport!

Nibbles. 'Join us for drinks and nibbles'

I hate the following:
Nom noms - said by full grown adults who should know better
Loves him I does - why?
Banter - can’t stand it followed by...
Cheeky - usually by older men trying to be a ‘lad’

Starting a sentence in response to a question with "So.." and then doing it over and over again. If you listen to interviews on the radio loads of people seem to do it and once you hear it you can't unhear it!

"I luffs it"

clunge makes me gag! so does another c word not fit for print.

OMG and totes makes me angry for some reason. O-M-G it's totes bangin' would send me into a random rage.

If you listen to interviews on the radio loads of people seem to do it and once you hear it you can't unhear it!

Same with 'absolutely'

Studio presenter : 'Our reporter Joe Bloggs is in Hyde Park. Joe, the sunny weather has brought people out in their thousands, but police are warning about X, y or Z'
Joe Bloggs: 'Absolutely. The assistant chief constable said this morning...'

My XP used to say 'clunge' and 'minge' with a particular leery expression, like a fourteen year old who's never seen the real thing but has a vivid imagination.

I wanted to kill him every single time.

Oh, me too!
Although they occasionally use "blasted" for a change.

So many journalists seem to have a tiny vocabulary whereas they ought to have a pretty good grasp of English.
Or perhaps they think their readers couldn't cope with more variety?
