'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

Bite to eat....aarrgghhhh!

Skeg Vegas! It's Skegness and it's a shit hole! (In my opinion!) that made me roar.
Clunge was invented by The Inbetweeners and I think made it into the OED.
Nosh is a particularly jewish word, maybe it comes from Yiddish? My MIL used to call baby DS a "nosh pot", it was all I could do not to tear her limb from limb

@thestuffwasbad I think it's more in the hospitality context of Did you enjoy your meal? Or Would you like your meal now? When people don't say dinner or tea.

I can't stand the word "portion". It sounds sad and Dickensian. Also hate "lashings of" because I don't want to be reminded that whips exist.

But my husband is "husby" too! I used to call him "husbo" but he didn't like the association with ASBO, so I switched to "husby."

“Fave” instead of favourite. Aaaargh.

Colourway "as in this top comes in 3 different colourways" what's wrong with colour?

Sleeps as in grown women saying "5 sleeps until..."you're not 5

Banter or its friend "bantz"
Joey instead of taxi
Quorate as in when the right people are at a meeting "are we quorate?" Makes me recoil..

Signage
Learnings

DS once asked me if I fancied sharing '20 nugs' from McDonalds. I think the look on my face said it all as he's never used it again.

Yomp, as in we went for a yomp on the heath. You're not in the Famous Five, it sounds ridiculous.
Nibbled - sounds like a hamster, you were eating.
Nah instead of no. Why? What's the point of it?

And a "foodstuff" one - afters. Shall we have ice cream for afters? I hate it, inexplicably.

People talking about going to 'Vegas or (worse) 'Frisco on holiday.
Because they're sooo familiar with the place and have to say the names so often they'd lose valuable seconds of their lives saying "Las" or "San Fran...".

No, I haven't been to either place.
Yes, of course I'm jealous

@Zaphodsotherhead

“Minge” 😂😂 I haven’t heard that one for years.. is it really still around??
I’ve got the giggles now🤭.

Gunt

Clunge

Gooch

😂 oh god!! It’s like being back at school ... I was a terrible giggler then... still am😳 My son once said ‘gooch’ when he was at Senior school - I sent him to his room! (After he’d explained what he was talking about... we were both red-faced at that point)😀

Goodge? As in Graham?

Gooch ffs

My MIL used to call magazines “books” - really annoyed me.

The interviewers’ favourite: “How worried (anxious/concerned) are you?”
Ridiculous question.

I LOVE the word clunge, it's genius!
Agree about portion though. A lot of mnetters love portion. Meal plan and batch cook in Sensible Portions because we have lost sight of what overweight looks like blah blah blah. It makes me want to shove pork pies into my face as fast as I can.

Minge is pretty bad though. As is crotch.

Gunt is such an awful word, but kind of brilliant in its awfulness! 😂

I only learnt what one's 'gooch' is from My Dad Wrote a Porno

Holibobs

Going forwards

Sorry going forward as in work speak.

Hopping.

'Hopping into the shower'. Physically possible yes, but to what end?

Also natter, as in having a natter. It's the false cosiness of the word.

(I was going to write "faux" instead of "false" then but realised "faux" is also highly irritating as a try-hard posher version of false or fake. "Fake" not good enough for ya?!)

(Also, the word "ya" instead of "you").

I should stop now.
