Words that other adults use that irritate you?

[Mangosmoothiesprinkles]

Some examples that seem to irritate me (yes I know it’s totally irrational!).

First is someone calling the tumble dryer ‘the tumblee’ (written phonetically to explain how they pronounce it). Second is ‘homee’ rather than home. I know there is no reason for these to give me the rage but they do.

AIBU to feel irrationally annoyed? What words that other adults use give you the rage?

Misogynistic swear words

My husband pronounces the r in croissant, I can't stand it! So it comes out as 'crossaunt'.

Also can't bear 'reaching out', or when people say 'bubbles' when they mean some kind of sparkling alcoholic drink.

Chicken boobs? Christ. Do people actually say that? That is just....awful. [

We used both Nanny and Grandma for the DC to distinguish between mine and DH’s DMums Sadly, there was only one Grandad left by the time my DC were born - my DDad, who died, is always referred to as Grandpa followed by his first name

I have a really, really good friend, but when she talks about going on hollibobs with the famalam I want to scream 😳

When someone ends every sentence with 'you know what I mean?' Lovely neighbour who unfortunately speaks extremely loud and does this when conversing.

Yep. It was on a "fakeaway" style recipe that came up on my Instagram feed. It was weeks ago and it still makes me feel sick when I think about it!

hollibobs with the famalam

🤣🤣

I find such words hilarious because surely she's joking, isn't she?

I often use words in that way just to amuse myself and my family (They've learnt it from me so we all do) but never in serious conversations.

I'd like someone who says things like that but only because we'll both know we're joking.

Cray cray, it sounds stupid.
When someone builds an extension on the side of their house and calls it the snug, it sounds pretentious and boastful.

See picture....

Haha I irrationally hate when people on MN say things like "snug" and "nook" and go on about partitioning rooms.

@CoughingInAisle15

Chorizo pronounced “Choritzo”.

“Global pandemic”.

I know someone who pronounces it cor-ritzo

Those of you who hate veggies, look, words being shortened and rising inflection should never travel to the antipodes.

When people call bonfire night, bommie. Surely it should be bonnie night if they want to shorten it.

Answering every question with a sentence starting with "So". "So, I'm a twat." "So, I live in Twatville" "So, I have 10 kids"
If you're a contestant on The Chase and you do this, I pray that you get beaten by the Chaser. You do not deserve to win thousands of pounds.

You’ll usually find people that do this actually call bonfire night, “Bomfire Night” so the just assume that an abbreviation would be “Bommy”

I’ve heard so many say “Bomfire”

Property. no it’s a home. Super cas- Amazing Veggies Anything out of Jamie Oliver’s mouth - I really should turn over!

I 100% agree with you on this. Each time I watch one of his shows and he refers to a putting "a little kiss" of olive oil or some other item on the food or in the pan I feel an uncontrollable rage come on!

Upgrade on ending sentences with “No?” – I know someone who ends them in “Non?” and she’s not French.

"Critique my" (such-and-such).

I had to stop reading this thread last night because of the nom nom comments, I had tears in my eyes. I've never heard anyone say nom nom in a conversation.
but if I ever hear any one saying it. I'll be leaving the room I can't cope with it. Nom fucking nom was it for me 😂😂😂😂

@Standstheclockattentothree

Totally agree !! Gran and grandma remind me of an ancient pensioner with white hair sitting in a rocking chair by the fire knitting . Nan much more glamorous

When someone says Nan I can only think of Catherine Tate

Yes exactly

It's rife on the chase. Wish Bradley Walsh would say something but he never does.
