What words make you cringe?

[Bintymcbintface]

Just that really. What words make you kinda recoil.

Mine are:

Treats
Creamy
Hubby
Furbabes/furbabies

Gusset.

Saying "gusseted envelopes" makes my skin crawl

nom nom
hollybobs,
nucular
sick (meaning good)
cis (applied to people not isotopes)
banter/ bants

Throbbing.
Gusset.

But I also can't stand (sayings, more than words) "You've got this" "Living my/her/his/their best life/lives'

My MW kept saying "You've got this" through the final stages of my labour, my DH had to tell me to calm down as he knew my growling was through that being said to me as opposed to the pain!

Narrative

Gotten- because it's not a word but is used all the time 🥵

I was going to write this. Suddenly I'm hearing and reading gotten so often. I hate it.

Pamper. I have no idea why but it makes me cringe.

Hubs, hubby
Bubs
Holibobs
Anywho
Hun, babes
Totes (as in totes amazing)
Vile - so over used
Shortening of words - delish, fab

Also not words but sentences like "I can't because COVID" or "the dinner needs cooked" - they make no bloody sense.

Nom Nom. I honestly want to punch people who say it.

Vagina and Penis because I was brought up to believe that they were bad words and let’s face it they sound stupid.

Similarly Clitoris and Testicles (makes me think of tentacles hanging off a Willy!).

Keeping everyone safe

"Smellies"

Why can't you just say toiletries/soap/bath bombs?

"Little Man" when referring to a baby or a child gives me the absolute rage. As does "date day" when people are just going out with their partner

‘Digs’ used for accommodation
Pump
‘Sir’

Oh, and "global pandemic". You don't need the global bit! It drives me mad!!

Hun. I hate absolutely everything about it.

Lunch

Knickers when used for talking about a child's underwear

Topping as in: what topping would you like

Slice

😣😣😣😣

Oh and any twee self-conscious internet sayings doing the rounds

‘I did a thing’
‘So....’
‘So this happened’
‘This one’
‘All the feels’
‘Protect him/her at all costs’

No one would ever speak like this in real life and there’s a reason for that. They’d sound like a fucking bellend.

Ick or icky bloody hate it !!

Also the new buzz words at work Collaborative and Hybrid working !!

Shits and giggles
Holibobs
Hubby
Suckle
Mither
Cancel culture
Snowflake

Panties ugh

Hubby
Wifey
Babe
Dude

🤮

‘Digs’ used for accommodation unless the person is actually on tour as part of a theatre production I assume? I think it’s reasonable to use it then!

Sexy

Crimplene Slacks
Winciette Nightie
Cinched Waist

They'd be quite nice words if what they meant wasn't so hideous
