'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 detest the word conglomerate-awfully claggy word both in sound and when the feel of saying it.

Ditto moist

DS (12) came out with the word 'noms' the other day, seriously wanted to kill him

Agree with meal, I never say it. Makes me think of mealworm.

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".

*not sure where the extra 'when' came from

Nom nom makes me turn inside out with cringe.

……...has x/y/z "in spades" errgh, what does that even mean?

I hate belly too. I also hate tummy when adults use it. My 50-something sister said today that our 80-something DM had tummy ache. It’s stomach, for goodness sake. (Unless talking to or about our two cats in which case it’s tum-tum).
And on another thread a poster wrote that her baby “boobs to sleep!” No, no! I don’t mind the word boobs but not used as a verb...

Oh and the use of the word 'baby' in isolation without 'the' in front of it

eg When is baby due?

Gives me the rage

Yy to 'doing' places. You didn't fuck it, you visited.

I once got asked if I wanted to share a meal. 🤢

Toilet ....the word makes me wince !

And “medalled” at the Olympics
Yup. Everything seems to be turning into verbs at the moment, it's definitely become 'trendy'. I'm not a fan.
My personal peeve is the word 'meme'. It is ghastly and I cannot bring myself to say it so I annoy my husband by pronouncing it in a way I find more acceptable.

I agree with a lot here, esp lashings and meal, and will add I hate "bung". Especially when it's used on here to demonstrate how soooo verrrryyyy eeeaaasy it is to do something someone doesn't want to do "just bung the turkey and the veg in the oven and that's Christmas sorted"

People who say 'yourself' instead of saying you or just what they fucking mean:
'Just sit yourself behind the computer and have a look'.
'If you could place yourself in the bath and I'll start to pour the custard in around yourself.'

"Plate of", omg kills me.

As does salad fucking garnish.

I hate the word ‘cup’

Cup of juice makes me murderous.

The phrase “Making love “
🤮

Oh and birthday meal and noms. Birthday noms tops them both.

Christ alive it’s hideous.

Similarly, I came on to say "plate of food" as per masterchef- that's a fabulous plate of food. Weird.

Draw instead of drawer

It’s stomach, for goodness sake. What do you say if you have an ache but it's in your lower abdominal region, not a stomach ache? What do you call the exterior of your abdomen where your belly button is? I'd say belly ache and belly.

QuixoticQuokka, If I needed to be more specific than "stomach ache"- i.e to a doctor - I would point out the exact area of my stomach that was painful and let them call it whatever they wanted.

'Filling'. As in 'I can't eat another bite, that meal was just so filling.' Most usually used by mothers who 'eat like birds' and will put their fork down half way through a meal of half a piece of toast with three beans on, saying 'beans on toast is just sooooo filling!'

Poorly, urgh! My LO's poorly, feeling poorly. Yuck. Just say ill or unwell. Also, 'reaching out.' Feel free to reach out, I'm here if you want to reach out. No! Just tell me if you want something

'super' 5 years ago nobody outside of America used this as a descriptive. now it's fucking everywhere. What's wrong with "very"?

'littles' instead of little ones/children. So twee I feel the sick rise in my mouth when I read it.

And not so much the words themselves but the context they are used in - when people describe making a meal but use verbs more akin to having a fight a la the Jamie Oliver effect. 'Just bung some chicken in a tray, back it with a rolling pin, stab with a fork and chuck on some vegetables, throw some herbs on top and shove it in the oven.' So aggressive!

'revert to' pseudo legal speak that's now being bastardised by anyone whose IQ is lower than they think it is. 'I will revert to you with the answer,' a) it makes no sense as a sentence, you never were me so you can't revert to me and b) 'I will reply to you' is fine and makes perfect sense, just use that!

finally 'other/better half' to describe a partner, husband, wife, girlfriend etc. So you are only half a person without them?

Phew that was cathartic!

My MIL always talked about her 'evening meal' .....sounds weird.
