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.

These threads make me so self conscious of the terms I use now 😂

Another one that annoys me is when people say "if you think that you've got another thing coming" - it doesn't make sense! It should be "another think coming"! What's a thing?!

Another thing, like something else. The next thing coming I guess. How does any other ‘think’ make any sense sorry 😂

I hate “I’m just putting the baby down”
No joke my friend told me she was putting her 8YP down so she was gonna be late

I hate the word ‘fanny’. I actually prefer the C word to that one.

@GypsyWanderer "another think coming" as in "think again"! Sorry I know it is possibly a controversial point for this thread 😂

I see what you mean now 😂

'We're pregnant ' instead of 'I'm 'is this an American term we've adopted now

When people refer to their kids as "the babies" when they're almost teenagers

Every single wanky word that has ever been used by corporate types.

In particular, 'resilience', as used by my selfish, greedy lump of an ex manager.

Irrationally, I get irritated by 'nap', putting baby down for a 'nap' 'baby was napping'. It just has a really middle class smugness to it.

Bosom is a horrendous word

I don't like the word Chloe. It makes me think of chlamydia.

Sorry to all those people called chloe.

Tub

'Breasticles' for breasts.

Actually, 'breasts' is horrid too, that wispy 'sts' sound at the end upsets me. 'Boobs' is far more pleasing.

Dp sometimes refers to teeth as 'toothypegs'. I don't know how he's still alive.

@ZolaGrey

Hubby.

Funky.

Any abbreviation that ends in "zies/sies", including but not limited to mensies (periods) and mozzies (Morrison's and mosquitos).

Soz.

Bin lids instead of kids (why? It's longer to both say and type, no logic).

The hashtag #fibrowarrier.

There are many more but I will spontaneously combust in a furious rage if I dwell on it any longer.

I think on "mensies " people might be saying menses (pronounced the same way) which is a totally legitimate word www.dictionary.com/browse/menses (of course still totally fine to hate it - mucus is legitimate too but it doesn't make it less revolting to me)

Snuggle/ snuggly. I don't want to 'snuggle'. I want to go out and see people, go to the theatre, a long slow meal out NOT Bloody 'snuggle' at home

• Hollibobs and familam. As in "I'm on hollibobs with the familam*

I’ve actually only ever heard these two terms through people complaining about them on Mumsnet.

Pocket rocker

"Teens", as in "I have teens". Makes them sound like a different species or something.

"Plate up" oh God yes!

Teens are a different species.

‘Glasto’.

it’s Glastonbury, you mimsy wanker.

I agree with almost all of the above and one of my own is "spread" when referring to food at a party or special occasion.

Holibobs makes me cringe too and I see I am not alone. Even worse when macho men use this word. Puts me right off them!

"firing off a text" is awful too and makes little sense.

Many of the above

And 'Pension pot' aaaarrrggghhhhh

See you later by strangers, hope not should the answer

'The missus' . They usually have a partner who refer to them as 'hubby or hubs' . For some reason the older I get the more it annoys the hell out of me.
