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?

Agree with a few people here re: "supper". Makes me think of lukewarm tea and cold greasy fish.

Makes me think of watery boiled cabbage soup for some reason.

"Peeps" instead of people REALLY grates on me. And please don't call me Hun!
I also hate "Me time" and "Making memories"

Sat instead of sitting
Reach out to
Cascade down

Boom
Boomtastic
Happy days
Smash it
Awesome
Date nights
Making memories
Sister from another mister
my girls , referring to your friends

Veggies.

Thanks @FangsForTheMemory. I know. However, it still annoys me and gives me a mental image of someone annoying on a thing with 2 wheels, regardless if the spelling.

Also use of ‘per’ instead of ‘as per’.

Hubs/hubby
Bubs
Hun
A thread
And just like that
Generally any message/birthday greeting on social media to a non reading child not on social media

Bum. It's not a " bum " it's a bottom.

Really fucks me off.

Also saying kids when talking about children. They are children, not goats.

Both of those I hear a lot.

Being addressed as "lovely" or "lovelies"
Just winds me up for some reason.

@coffeepleeease

I use so many of the ones mentioned on here 🤣

Well, stop it immediately.

@madnessitellyou

Thought of another.

Brufen.

Can anyone medical explain why ibuprofen comes out as brufen?

Brufen is a brand name like Nurofen. The active ingredient drug is ibuprofen.

I was sat/I was stood
Little ones/little man/little people etc
Guesstimate
Hun
Overuse of the word absolutely, especially when used in agreement to something
Hey guys
Cuppa

Who am I to talk, though? I’m guilty of quite a few of the words and phrases that have been mentioned!

Choccy

A nurse/GP referred to one of my breasts as "your boobie" the other day - and I still haven't recovered

Naughty when referring to food, it's like they're waiting for someone to tell them how good they look.

Changing things like "the washing up needs doing" to "the washing up needs done". It just sounds awful to me.

Poorly.

Baby when it should be the baby.

Super as in it was super interesting.

Probably loads more too!

"Kiddies" I really bloody loathe calling kids "kiddies".

"Super". "Super fun/super cross/super excited" super fucking duper.

"Fuming". It honestly irritates the hell out of me and it's used so often on MN.

NC for this just in case. I have a cousin who refers to everything as a lock.. eg: a lock of days, a lock of pints, a lock of friends, a lock of minutes, a lock of chips, a lock of calories....

She also calls McDonald's Mickie D's. I love her but Jesus it gives me the rage listening to it.

A slightly different one, but the use of the word "curated" has gone too far.

I saw an ad in the newspaper for a building of new condos/townhouses that was referred to as a collection of curated homes.

No, just no. They are not "curated" as in selected for a special collection. They are new build apartments, the same as every other one for sale in Vancouver for millions of dollars.

I need to breathe now.

What-dya- ma-call-it
Thingy

Particularly when they're all used together and the person gets annoyed when you have no idea what they're talking about.

His/your/my truth....no it isnt, its his/your/my version of the truth. The truth is actually what happened.

Belly...just eugh
Hun/Hon/honey...bleurgh

‘My Puppies’ when talking about their breasts. I’ve heard them described as ‘bad boys’ too.
Awful.

Reach out (you mean contact!)
This one (of a partner or friend)
Super (rather, very, quite, ever so)
My bad (your mistake)
Double down (insist)
My truth (just your bloody opinion)
Entitled (not entitled at all actually!)
Smashed / nailed it (did it well)

Lush
Spag bol
“My everything”
Have a few wines. No. You mean a few glasses of wine.
Karen…..as an insult, instead of a name. I keep hearing young men use it and it makes me want to slap them. So sneery and disrespectful. No; I’m not called Karen and I don’t know anyone called Karen either. I just get filled with fury when I hear Karen used as an insult.

-Meal
-Treat
-Treat Meal
-Double buggy
-Actually, buggy full stop, pram or pushchair only please

-Meaty
-Cheesy
-Milky
-Fruity
(These are bad enough when used to describe food, but if any of these food adjectives is used to describe something that isn't food, like a "fruity cologne" or a "milky colour" it actually makes me so angry that I have to be alone to have a word with myself to not be so stupid. If it's used to describe something disgusting like a cheesy smell I am actually nauseous, it has made me incredibly uncomfortable just to type that)

-Anyone using the word mummy when not speaking directly to their own mother (and even if they are speaking to their own mother, if they are over the age of 10 they're on thin ice, over the age of 16 they should go straight to jail)
-Daddy is OK for some reason but Papa can fuck right off.
-Granny for any grandmother who isn't tiny, ancient and white-haired just seems wrong. Grandma or Nana or whatever stupid names the kids make up are fine, though. My kids called their paternal grandmother Geener thanks to some bad decisions on the part of their older cousins, but I didn't mind it so much after a while.
