Words I hate...I AIBU I know but I want to tell you mine and hear yours.

[FortunesFave]

Smellies.

What an ugly word for something as nice as beauty or bath products.

Booze.

So SLOPPY sounding. BOOZE...no...no...no.

'Myself', as in 'please reply to myself'.

Noooo.

Weirdly, "meal". I have no idea why. I say it myself sometimes, but I hate it!

"Had our ups and downs". I know it's at least partly because on here it's always used to describe an absolute disaster of a relationship, but it goes beyond that. I just irrationally hate the phrase and I don't know why.

I know lots of people hate "ducks in a row" but I don't mind it. I like ducks.

Moist 🤢

bearlyactive same here! I have no idea why.

Moist
Hubby
Bae

Moist and bosom. Horrendous if in the same sentence

As a pp said "myself" when they mean I or me.

excited "for" something when they mean excited about, or looking forward to it

"these bad boys" in the context of "I bought these bad boys today" (person had bought trainers - why are they bad, aren't they good?)

any cringey hashtags eg #blessed #holibobs #famalam or #makingmemories

a "cheeky" wine (or anything) - why is it cheeky?

"gifting", you gift land, you give everything else

'Muggins here'

'Rumpy pumpy'

'Gusset'

Bearly Oh God yes! It's just gross!

IamNotInterested what about "Hence"? Almost always used incorrectly.

Just posted on another thread about the phrase “Boy Mamma” worn as a slogan on a t-shirt.

It’s a no from me.

Bubble - used as a verb in the context of the pandemic. Eg “I’m upset my DM is bubbling with my DSis instead of me.” I don’t mind “My DM has formed a bubble with my DSis.”

Sprout you seem to hate U words! What about "Grumble" I have never liked that one.

Rainbow Ugh! I agree!

Hubby
Slacks
"This one"
Fact (at the end of a sentence which expresses an opinion).
All incorrectly used pronouns.
Ditto apostrophes especially to pluralise names.

Talking of MN phrases what about "Give your head a wobble"?? Wtf does that even mean!?

I hate that a lot of people have an aversion to the word moist. I can only think it's because its associated with vagina? Moist is an excellent word.

Agree, “meal” is horrendous. Along with “mains” and “sides”. Awful, cut your tongue out.

Janaih me too! Why I hate it I'm not sure...it might be because there was a sudden rash of people saying they hated it...and I felt that some were copying others. Not a pedant or judgmental honestly!

“Scoff” as in “scoff a pizza”

“Feed” as in “a feed”

“Shop” as in “do a shop”

Not on this thread but generally....a few years ago it was always cropping up online...how people hated "moist" but maybe it is a gross word....

“sides” is bad. I agree.

Oooh what about "brew" when people mean "a cup of tea"??

Burrito oh yes! "What did you have for mains?"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh god “brew”. There was a thread a while ago where the poster wrote “make a brew” every third sentence for about a page and a half. It was awful.
