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.

Cloth bummed (for babies wearing reusable nappies)

Nub theory

Asymptotic for asymptomatic. I don’t know if it’s just autocorrect or if people have seen other people use it and not realised it’s rogue autocorrect and think it means the same thing.

Beginning sentences with “So...” as many Irish people have been doing, quite naturally, for years. BBC correspondents are at it. They are asked a question by the news presenter and they might begin: “So the government is...”.

Sounds more like autocorrect being overly helpful!

Chest o draws - Popular on fb marketplace it seems.
Vintage used to describe something in the style of a fashion era. It's not. It's new, also known as recreation or just plain fake.

And 'sourced' what a load of pretentious nonsense.

Basically any word used to try to pretend that some item of tat, probably bought by accident from Amazon after too many prosecos, has more value because the seller thinks their taste is elevated beyond average.

Nom nom

When someone says 'Get in my belly' when they are about to eat some delicious food. Sounds gross.

'Take me back' this is a stealth boast in my opinion so you can show off another holiday pic looking all gorgeous and tanned ( not jealous or anything...)

Ripe. I used it this morning and realised it is revolting.

Cooking from scratch which I used but I know makes me sound like a pretentious fucking wanker. What I really mean is I can't afford to buy ready made meals.

And my absolute, all time pet hate phrase:

"WE WORKED HARD FOR OUR MONEY".

I had to use capitals so I could express my irritation. Note to everyone - people work hard for their money, even those who don't earn much. Stop being such an entitled twat.

And belly. It is such a flappy, weedy way to describe a part of our anatomy. Stomach will do.

Here goes (apologies if they’ve already appeared)

Curated - just why?
Shop the whatever
Little one - urgh
110% - in fact anything over 100% - ridiculous
Bubs - vomit
And another vote for “myself”

Most of it is just laziness

@TheVamoosh

And when people write "would of" it makes me want to ask if they always replace "have" with "of" and, if so, WHY???

Apologies, I know this has been done to death.

No need to apologise. I don’t read threads with that error in the title nor any posts including it. The word “of” is a preposition, not part of a verb.

“Of is a preposition that indicates relationships between other words, such as belonging, things made of other things, things that contain other things, or a point of reckoning.”

The word “piece” to describe an item of clothing. I don’t care if people who work in “the industry” use it. It sounds stupid.

Curated and sourced are similarly irritating.

Yes, also, to the various attempts to describe a chest of drawers. My favourite is Chester draws.

The word 'purchase/purchased' and I don't really know why. Just makes people sound like they're reading a script rather than speaking naturally.

@Catflapkitkat

Cannot believe this post has 14 pages and no one has mentioned the inappropriate 'randoming'. As in a bit random?

I am on a board for English speaking mothers. (not in the UK so many asking for tips and pointers). Someone posted 'Hey guys, sorry for the most RANDOM post EVER but can any of you recommend somewhere to get long sleeve t.shirts'? Talk about disappointed. I really wanted to suggest she look up the words random and ever in a dictionary before she goes shopping but we're supposed to be helpful and supportive.

Sometimes people refer to another person as “a random”. Awful.

@CooperLooper

The word 'purchase/purchased' and I don't really know why. Just makes people sound like they're reading a script rather than speaking naturally.

Maybe those who use it are unsure about bought v brought?

I dont know if it's been said but "on accident" instead of by accident.

It makes my teeth itch.

Trust me, I wont cum in your mouth

Smellies- shudder! Other visceral reaction words or ones I can't bring myself to say:

Melody
Rub
Humiliate
The name William

Urgh, urgh, urgh!

@Iamnotminterested

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

Noooo.

Probably used by the people who can't distinguish between I and me.

@Janegrey333

Curated and sourced are similarly irritating.

Sourced itself is annoying, as in 'I sourced the ingredients', no love, you went shopping in Aldi, (other supermarkets are available).

@TheDowagerDuchess

I had “supper” too! We have breakfast, lunch and dinner in our house, tea is a drink, we have pudding not dessert. I think a lot of this is regional though!

Have never understood why meal is awful, but it comes up a lot on the many MN threads like this one!

I hate “course” to describe a part of a meal - first course, main course etc - but I accept there’s no obvious alternative! Sounds like you’re taking part in some kind of race or challenge!

Pudding and dessert always cause controversy and generally it's regional. Originally a pudding was something hot, a sweet was something cold and a dessert was something you left the table to eat, fruit, nuts maybe, it allowed the servants to clear the table, which you had desserted!

‘it allowed the servants to clear the table, which you had desserted!‘

It’s from desservir, meaning to clear the table! So your explanation is excellent

and "formulated"........ irritating tripe word used to bamboozle women after beauty products.

Apologies if these have been mentioned -

'Lush' - Only excuse is if you're Welsh and it's part of your dialect.
'Buttery' - Made worse by people using it to describe the texture of a product like make up or something. 'Oooh this formula is SO buttery!'. Get to fuck.
'Crimbus' - Stop being a child. It's Christmas.
'Fur baby' - No, it's your pet. I highly doubt they were birthed out of your vagina.
'Collective' - When a restaurant or bar is called The _ Collective, I immediately assume you're run by a bunch of hipster idiots and probably wont want to give you my money.
