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.

@bearlyactive

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

I HATE meal too ... hate it hate it

Crack on. It's dripping with moist sarcasm.

'Yourn' instead of yours.
That's regional dialect though.

cologne, yes, good point, I suppose it would logically pre-date Covid. I just hadn't heard it before; I've worked at home for years and my work doesn't involve calls, but since Covid a member of my household with a job that involves lots of calls and meetings has been WFH, so I hear it a lot now.

And I hate ‘tea’ when it’s the evening meal.We will forever be a divided nation.
I hate 'tea' to mean something you eat, too!
Save the word 'tea' to replace 'brew' which I also hate with a passion.

Cuppa. Fine when spoken, fake friendly when written in general.
Luxe and spendy.

Cuppa in all uses.
Maybe because I don't drink any hot drinks. But sounds a lot worse to me than just saying 'tea' or 'coffee'.

Other half (I know not a word but makes me want to vom)
I hate vom, too!

Hate cuppa, too!!

milk drunk.

Snapped up (meaning bought)

Cook from scratch

Slap up meal

My bad.

Ass instead of arse.

Mom instead of mum.

@LongPauseNoAnswer

afters or dessert (no it's pudding, to me anyway)

I HATE the term pudding with the fire of a billion suns. Pudding is a type of dessert, dessert is the correct term.

And if you’re Irish, pudding isn’t something you eat for dessert unless it’s specifically indicated to be a dessert food - chocolate pudding for example.

With you all the way on this one - especially the heinous 'We're having fruit for pudding'.

Other hates include:
Juice when it's really squash/cordial
Teddy, as in 'She's got a teddy of a monkey'. Absolutely fine if the soft toy in question is actually a bear.
Headache tablets. They're painkillers, if you're going to be non-specific about what type you want.
Plenty, when used like this: 'He's plenty old enough to do his own ironing'. Where the hell does this come from? Is it an Americanism?

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!

“Opted for” don’t know why!
Someone being “set to” do something that they are going to do, as in “she is set to marry him in March”
I hate nom nom obviously - and any words to described people’s hunger or thirst - staaarving, famished, ravenous, parched etc. Also “thirst quenching”

Kiddo-hate with a passion!
Hubs, hubby, the hubster-horrible.
Sainsbobs, holibobs etc
Agree with calling squash juice and almost/ nearly unique. It either is or it isn't

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!

"Hence why" - drives me mad. Hence is fine. You don't need "why" after it.

holibobs, doggo, pupper, bae etc are all infantalising bollocks.
People confusing uninterested with disinterested.
Misuse of nonplussed to mean "not bothered."

Moist is a nice word. It describes good cake and an environment for growing tropoical plants.. I blame Miranda Hart for it's current derision.

I also dislike “routine” because to me it suggests you’re going to do a little dance!

“Meh” as well because it suggests the person saying it is superior and more discerning than others

Whimsical.

It makes me feel instantly grumpy to hear somebody use it, although I can't work out if it's the word itself or the people that tend to use it that I actually find irritating.

Referring to breastmilk as Boobie juice 🤢🤮. Also boobing the baby and boob monster. I actually left a Facebook bf support group because I couldn't stand seeing these words written

Yy to 'fall pregnant'. It started appearing all over here a few years ago. Also 'fall for' in the same context, as in 'I was 25 when I fell for dd1'. I think I dislike it because it associates pregnancy with something uncontrollable and vaguely shameful, like the 'fallen women' of old. Analogously, I really dislike 'to' in the context of having children by or with someone - 'don't fall pregnant to him, whatever you do' or 'I have three children to my ex'.

Re 'gift' - I tend to see it in the context of larger gifts, such as 'my parents gifted me some money for our wedding'. It's unnecessary, yes, but I can sort of see it in that context as emphasising the gift aspect (as opposed to a loan etc.).

I'm like...NO!
Sorry OP, I said NOT I’m like 😂

Also, almost every thing every one has said but especially when people pronounce words like issue and tissue as
isssss-yew, tissss-yew etc instead of ishoo and tishoo
Arrrrrrrgh!

I dislike "all the trimmings" in connection with food.

Also "picky" when people mean selective or pedantic.

Absolutely hate "my bad".

Scoff for me
