To detest 'enjoy'

[3Britnee]

Aibu I"m not though to be sick in my mouth a little bit every time I read 'enjoy' on here? I keep seeing it more and more.

Enjoy your children op.
I bought snacks for us all to enjoy.
DH and I enjoy the occasional film.
We enjoy conversation at the dinner table.

It makes me cringe inside out, and sounds wanky as fuck.

It's almost as bad as 'super'.

The one that makes me stabby is "manage" about food. e.g "oh I couldn't possibly manage a whole pizza"

If you don’t like ‘I really enjoyed that film’ what word would you put in its place? ‘Liked’, ‘revered’? To me the word ‘enjoy’ is just a simple way to describe something you liked. I cannot imagine it making me feel anything.

Actually yeah I get what you mean. I'll tell my mum I'm and she always responds with oh well, enjoy! Like no, I'd rather eat my own feet tbh, how is this thing I've mentioned enjoyable?? She does the same if day I'm having my ex in-laws over occasionally. No, it's not enjoyable it's just something I happen to have to do right now!!

I resent it when used as a command. Enjoy! I always think, 'Why the hell should I?'

Thought this was going to be about Masterchef.

Fucking hate it when the contestants hand over the plates (who brings the 3rd one in???) and declare ‘enjoy!’

Wouldn’t mind if they said ‘enjoy your soufflé/crisp butty/deconstructed Frey Bentos pie’ instead.

In that context it's ok. It's when it's used like this; 'I bought snacks for us all to enjoy'. Like, fuck off you muggy cunt.

Well what do you expect them to say? ‘I bought some snacks that fucking revolting so we can all eat them and be miserable’?

I’d be far more annoyed by someone using the expression ‘muggy cunt’. What does it even mean?

It’s even more annoying when someone uses ‘enjoy’ as a response to something you say ie: ‘I am off to x’, response ‘enjoy!’

It’s a lazy, nothing response that just stops a conversation - there’s nothing to say in reply... or maybe that’s the point!

It’s still wank tho.

🤣

Sounds like something an angsty teenager would say.

What would you suggest people use instead? "Enjoy" seems like a perfectly normal word to me, not "wanky" in the least. "Wanky", on the other hand, I detest, though I don't expect anyone else to care, agree, or stop using it.

Surely that is the point? What more can you say?

Faaaack off you maagggy caaant.

I've just said to a lady to "enjoy her new patio" as enjoy using it. To be fair I'm like this with the word "lush" loaaaaathe it.

Yes it’s massively overused.

Same here. It makes no sense but it makes me want to kill someone

Seems like a very normal means of expression to me. I don't really get what else you would like people to say.

Maybe not something to enjoy getting het up over!

Enjoy anyway.

Maybe I am really not bothered about sounding "wanky."

Enjoy doesn't bother me.

I hate "source" and "curate".

For example, I sourced some organic tomatoes to make pasta this weekend.

And, My husband curated a beautiful meal for our anniversary.

I've literally just typed ''I enjoy Laurence Fishburne in a film'' on another thread

I have no feelings either way about the word enjoy.

Any derivative of Muggy , being mugged off etc give me the rage though. Such a ridiculous saying

HTH

To be honest OP some of the things you have said are much more wanky and cringy than any of the things you talk about. 'to be sick in my mouth a little bit and fuck off you muggy cunt' make you sound very immature which perhaps explains why you find normal adult conversation a little beyond you.

It's nowhere near as bad as 'super'! YAB super unreasonable.

OMG yes! These give me the rage. The epitome of wank.

See, 'we enjoy using our patio' is perfectly fine. 'We enjoy our patio' is just wrong.

Kind of like 'we enjoy good wine'. Its muggy.

I can't stand it when people say "that's 2 hours (or x amount of time) of my life I'll never get back" to indicate something tedious or unenjoyable.

You don't get any time back, you unfunny dicks!
