What words make you cringe?

[Bintymcbintface]

Just that really. What words make you kinda recoil.

Mine are:

Treats
Creamy
Hubby
Furbabes/furbabies

Under the doctor (a phrase for hypochondriac old ladies)

'This arvo' 🤢🤢

Entitled
Fur baby - it’s an animal ! A lovely animal but an animal nonetheless.
Princess
Making memories- they’ll remember the most random crappy

things you only read on mn
hubby
fanjo

Choccies, biccies.
Choccy biccies.
Please, just no.

“Littlies” and “poonami” (that AWFUL Pampers ad, it needs banning!)

Oldies for old people so patronising

When items of clothing are referred to as "pieces". Gives me more rage than cringe though!

Not me so much but my daughter hate ,,,,,
moist
flan

Abreast

Woke

Think outside the box

Incentivize

Blue-skies thinking

Or anything ultra-managerial

Pre-loved

Happy birthday (if said to me- HAAAATE my birthday)

Bits (as in popping to the shop for some bits). Whatever happened to plain old groceries?

Narrative. (Done to death on Radio 4 every day). So wanky.

Space (as in "this space really lends itself to modern sculpture.") Utter bollocks.

All the Facebook words, like hubby, BFF, amazeballs etc..

Panties
Noms
Furbabies
Sleeps (used in place of days/nights)
A red lip (and no lipstick on the other lip?)
Front bum/bottom (makes me think of someone with an extra arse in the front)
Adulting

Generally any kind of cutesy baby words used by adults.

Meal....

No it's lunch/dinner/tea etc not 'meal'

Bouji

Bits

Yours - meaning your home

Bob - as in " I'm just bobbing out to the shops to pick up some bits"😬 Or "I'll bob round to Yours later"😬

'Mini-me' for child.

No, they're not your 'mini me' fuck off

One of the things I live about Mn is that you DON'T see much use of "hubby" and in the rare occasions a (new) poster uses the word, they will be pulled up on it

Shielding. That word simply drives me batshit. Especially when used with ECV and a level of superiority.

We're all vulnerable and we're all worth something to somebody.

Awesome

I’m afraid “Mumsnet speak”. DH, DD, DS, Fanjo, OH etc.

i don't agree with the 'DH' acronyms twee crap either.

To share.
To enjoy.

I've bought some crisps to share.

I have some chocolate for us to enjoy.

🤮

Less instead of fewer. You/we was instead of you/we were.
