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

Smellies.

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

Booze.

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

Mom instead of mum.
This is regional dialect too in England though – West Midlands.
Saying that, the WM tendency to call a magazine a 'book' has always pissed me off.

@Chocolatepanettone

picky instead of particular "fell" pregnant as though two people weren't involved Little Man and Our Little Family (both puke-worthy) gonna, wanna, shoulda to gift as a verb

And YY to Minky37 wrt "can I get" instead of "please may I have" - I love your response!

@Chocolatepanettone I HATE the use of "little man" and "little family" as well 😂. Also "little miss".

'Brainchild'
Your brains had a child together? It's wrong!

Not a word but the phrase ‘do better’
has really started to piss me off. It’s so condescending and I always imagine the person using it be a snotty nosed little twerp.

Ex Army here and mortified to say I say "brew"

I hate "nom nom" with a passion, gives me the rage! And "moreish", though I've no idea why... just sounds like a twatty word to me.

Oh and ‘Food baby’ - gross.

Teddy, as in 'She's got a teddy of a monkey'. Absolutely fine if the soft toy in question is actually a bear.

Yes! I didn’t know this was even a thing until a nursery worker described my daughter’s rabbit as a teddy. I was very confused. ‘Er, no, it’s a rabbit..?’ And then she looked at me like I was weird so I scuttled home to Google! Apparently it’s a pretty common usage now.

Poorly and oftentimes

Oh and ‘Food baby’ - gross.
Oh yes, that's disgusting, makes me feel ill.

@bearlyactive

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

That made me laugh because my son hates that word as well

Baby daddy! What's wrong with "my childs father/dad?"

When people start a thead by saying "AIBU to shout that..." normally some sort of patronising sentence.

Staff. Why not refer to colleagues?!

When people say 'can I get' rather than 'can I have ' !!

I hate it when people rip out kitchens or grab a coffee.

Cuppa

Tummy or belly: just say stomach!

'Juice' for every soft drink other than water or milk. A can of Coke is not juice.
(Regional though, once again so I am being unreasonable! Confused the hell out of me though to accept a glass of juice and be given IrnBru!)

@FuzzyPuffling and
@GodolphinHorne (who was nobly born)
I suspect you are familiar with How To Get On In Society by John Betjeman

“It's ever so close in the lounge dear,
But the vestibule's comfy for tea”

springs to mind, along with lots of other horrors – and my pet bête noirs among these being “kiddies” and “toilet”

Myself.
Purchased. Bought is fine, but not brought.
Hubby

I also don't like meal, as in "going for a meal". Just say lunch or dinner, not meal.
On the same subject, I hate the term "fish supper". It's fish and chips.

Belinda789 oh yes, I love a bit of Betjeman.

He also has the most beautiful headstone I have ever seen. Possibly not relevant here, but nevertheless...!

I can't stand Betjeman. I had to buy a collection of his poems for college and it was the only book I've ever wilfully destroyed.

Not relevant either, but feel I should agree, and refer you to Nancy Mitford’s. The same sculptor.
