What words make you cringe?

[Bintymcbintface]

Just that really. What words make you kinda recoil.

Mine are:

Treats
Creamy
Hubby
Furbabes/furbabies

Any words that become vastly overused, especially if they originate from Australian tv shows, eg." stoked"
Somehow there are no pleasant sounding words for genitalia - there, that word in itself says it all ...
"Spoiled" as in " I feel so spoiled " usually accompanying a boastful pic of some ridiculously expensive gift they've been given or because someone has made them a slice of toast with whatever topping is currently trending on social media.
Definitely "panties" and " pantyhose " ( shudder ! )

Wanna, gunna etc.

Nobody just "has " or "gives birth " to a baby any more, they are now " welcomed " and invariably " shared " with the husband / partner.

The way some Americans pronounce "mirror" as " meeeeeerrrrrr"

Why do people always say ‘moist’ in these threads. I don’t get it. I realise you can associate it with some fairly filthy concepts, but it’s fairly neutral really. Words like holihobs or hubby however would likely only be said by the more irritating members of society so deserve opprobrium

Saying 'baby' without putting 'the' in from it

Also weird, coy words for genitals

Also 'we was'

A person I know insists on calling EVERYONE "sweets" I hate sweets, biscuits and chocolate so it annoys me even more than it really should

"Little man" when referring to an infant / young boy.

"Human" - it's everywhere on social media captions. "Happy Birthday to the best human ever" etc.

On a similar note: "this one" used as a social media photo caption of a lover. Vom.

People who say 'I've made a boo boo' or, I'm in a tiswas. The management term I fucking HATE is 'so we've done a deep dive of.......(something really dull and irrelevant)

Absolutely cannot stand the current trend for saying 'let's normalise xyz...'

Please make it stop.

Gifted. When did people stop saying 'given'?

@TedMullins

Hubby/hubs and any other variations Bubs/bubba Nom nom Holibobs Famalam This one - when used to accompany a picture of their partner Boy done good - when used to caption a picture of a tacky handbag or jewellery bought by said partner Love you to the moon and back Bickering/bicker And for some reason, the word nourish - I don’t know why, I just hate it

All of these except nourish! Also 'Holibobs'... like why? Just say holiday! It's the same amount of syllables, same effort!
