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.

"I hate the prefix of "super" on to everything these days..... supercute, super excited etc. what happened to just using very!".

I overheard my husband finishing a call to the garage yesterday with "super stuff". I felt a little bit of sick in my mouth, and knowing the very funny but no-nonsense lady that works there, I suspect I was not alone.

The passive aggressive "Gentle reminder"

If I'm totally honest, I don't really like the abbreviation D anything: DH, DS. I understand it's shorthand and saves writing it out on posts but I can't imagine calling my child "darling son" so it feels uncomfortable using the abbreviation.

The word supper, particularly when used incorrectly by our local pub!

The word treat, way too overused for things that aren't a bloody treat.

'reach out' an Americanism that seems to have taken over our office 'in my absence, please reach out to x' what's wrong with contact?!

I'm on a nursing student group on FB where lots of them refer to occupational health as occy health and it drives me bananas every time!

From the comfort of your own home. Usually in advertising.

Even worse in lockdown.

That reminds me of another - lockdown.

Folx
Y’all (when used by English people. It’s fine if you are actually from the USA, particularly the south).

panties makes me feel ill

Lush

Only ever appropriate if buying bath bombs or if you are Miki Berenyi.

Oh yes: 'gentle reminder' ...! Both passive-aggressive and patronising - a bad combination!
Also moist. It's a great word in that it sounds right for what it's describing, yet there's something repulsive about it 😂.

'Throw your toys out of the pram'. Eeurgh

Hey ho!

As in "but hey ho!"

Fuck off is my reply

Oh yeah "national treasure" that was overused a few years ago but seems to have fallen into disuse. Everyone, over the age of about 50, was one. No.

JMG1234 You're not alone. I really hate all the DH crap on here, especially when MNers use it then have the gall to sneer at someone saying hubby or LO or whatever. Pot, kettle!

I don’t know if it counts but..writing a carefully worded polite message to someone and getting a THUMBS UP 👍🏻 as a response - as nothing else! I have a friend who always does it and my head knows she’s super busy but my heart feels like fingernails down a blackboard...

"Polite notice" at the top of a notice.
It usually indicates that it will be anything but polite.

'Hooman' when people pretend their pets are talking about them e.g my Hooman must feed me.

Gives me the rage. Why would an animal speak like that if they could talk?

Great now I'm pissed off.

'Little one'

Oh God yes, I hate that so much. When I was looking for a cat to adopt there was one rescue place where all the descriptions were written from the point of view of the cat talking about the type of ‘hooman’ they needed. I wanted a cat that pronounced ‘human’ correctly so I gave that one a swerve.

"Right now" - what on earth has the perfectly useful word "now" done, that made it always be attached to "right"?
Hooman, is, I agree, an abomination. That people are proud of the illiteracy of their animals is a sad indicator of how low our standards as a nation have become. See also the incorrect grammar trotted out as "cute" - "I be doing a snooze" or "my hooman be loving on me". Loving on? what the fuck.

Gods, yes!

It’s absolutely awful.

@Katyppp

I was going to start a thread about this the other day. My husband thinks I'm mad so I will vent on here I buy my fruit and veg from a local delivery service and for some reason there is a woman who posts her list on the public site every week. This week: Jkt pots Swt pots Strawbs Rasps Blues Grps (Rd) Ansd worst of all... Colly

If that's not bad enough, she then posts pictures of every meal she makes with said Jkt pots, colly etc and lists the ingredients.

Am I unreasonable?

@katy, that made me laugh out loud!

Has anyone said 'making memories' yet..? A local business has recently opened with this at its tagline 😬
