What words make you cringe?

[Bintymcbintface]

Just that really. What words make you kinda recoil.

Mine are:

Treats
Creamy
Hubby
Furbabes/furbabies

Tescos
Costas 🤮

Noooo

Famalam is pretty bad

Poorly

Slippy

Groaning (especially a table groaning with food) - yes! Massively.

Indie school - also agree with this one. You’re not being cool and alternative, you’re being the diametric opposite. Don’t try to make it sound like what it isn’t.

Words that mean fart. I also hate fart but ‘pop’ and ‘trump’ are grim

You won the internet today!’ - this one too! Who made you judge of the internet?

“Pet hate” or “bugbear” - usually used to try to add weight to an unreasonable point of view, as if the speaker is so burdened down by everyone else not getting it/ being unreasonable. “It’s a bugbear of mine when people think dogs need water” (to give an example of how stupid the person’s point of view might be)

Luxe and pop- as in ‘pop’ of colour!

Pots and toms
Roasties
Making memories
Li'l man
Picky tea
And 100s of the ones already said

When online stores say
'Shop sale' or
'Shop babies' etc.
It annoys me so much.

I've got some more. When people talk about plural words as singular to try to sounds like they know what they are on about. For example: a nude lip, a navy shoe, a fitted trouser. Style and beauty is full of this nonsense.

Cheeky! As in a cheeky pint, a cheeky drink, a cheeky anything that you’re doing when you know it’s actually impolite- eg “we were running late for the party already but we stopped for a cheeky drink on the way”. It’s not cheeky it’s rude

And as per the other thread that’s running, “cheeky” money saving ideas that are actually theft!

Toe (big toe, little toe)
Pudding
Sarnie
Butty
Spuds
Belly (when used by an adult)
Fizzy

Oh and

“Mummy” “daddy” “bro” “cuz”

Bud.
Or buddy
Spoken man to man. As in 'Hey bud'.
It just sounds so silly

When people use the word "what" instead of "which".

Yorkshires. No no no! They're Yorkshire puddings.

@Stravaig

Moist is one of my Wordle starter words 🤣 Bit shocked at all the hate!

Yup, one of mine too but I LOATHE the word!

Not a word as such, but when people say “in the AM” instead of “in the morning”. Don’t know why it winds me up so much

1. Live love laugh.

Load of utter bollocks.

1. Pregnant people and chest feeding.

As a midwife and woman, bloody hate these terms that are now being used.

1. Naice.

Seen this on MN just hate it.

1. Boris Johnson. Just because I do.

I hate pamper too, also temper tantrum. You can have a temper, or a tantrum, but both together makes me wince.

Lavatory
Moist

Awesome
Truck (rather than lorry)

Portion. Can't stand it and I never say it aloud.
Yup. Just say yes or yea.
Folks. I find it so patronising.

I agree with most of these.
Also any variation on breasts - tits, titties, boobies...
Boob as a noun or verb. Boobing.
Agree with hun, babe, babies, hubs, hubby, pussy, panties...
Yes to making memories etc...

But nothing makes me suffer like everything that comes out of Jamie Bish Bash Bosh, wazz it up, pukka, take it to the next level, that's what I'm talking about and calls his grandmother tiger Oliver's mouth.

*babes. "Babies" would be an unreasonable word to take against.
