What words make you cringe?

[Bintymcbintface]

Just that really. What words make you kinda recoil.

Mine are:

Treats
Creamy
Hubby
Furbabes/furbabies

amazing

Cunning
Moist
Flap

Spag Bol
Brekky
Hubby

Nom, as in pinch of nom
Hubby
Horrid
Guff

Peckish
Cheesy
'This one'
And referring to people or a person as ' a lovely group of humans'

Snowflake when describing other human beings…suggests a limited vocabulary
Virtual Signalling …yes I know it is two words but it’s a horrible expression…makes my skin crawl TBH !

Cuppa
Pork chop
Trimmed up, creamed up,
Puce

Pud
Hubby
Spag Bol

Bum, uni, hubby, kids (unless used of baby goats), wifey.

Cohort, when referring to school years.

Thankyou spelled as one word.. seems to becoming more prolific on social media.

Shortening of university degree names.. NatSci, CompSci and EngLit for example. No idea why it annoys me but it does..

"Moist"

“Clawing back” as in money

"gently" anything...

and "hubby" and "wifey" should go on "holibobs" at "Chrimbo" and never ever come back.

Oh and "furbaby "

Kiddliwinks - fuck right off to anyone who says that.

Also picky bits. Ugh!

@rainbowmash

Agree re: "treats" when adults say it about their own food. Treats are for dogs and toddlers.

Basically any baby language used to describe food repels me, puts me off my own food, and makes me think that person is wilfully immature in the rest of their life too.

Yum/Yummy/Nummy/Scrumptious/Tasty
Snack (esp. if used as a verb i.e. "I like to snack on raisins")
Feeling snacky (UGH!)
Munchy
Picky bits
Lip-smacking/Mouth-watering (UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!)

My slightly more YABU cringe word is "Delicious". It's pretty normal to use it in conversation but I hate it, it sounds so "mouthy" and visceral, as well as pretentious. Half the time people seem to say it when they still have bits of food in their mouths, which makes me want to bolt for the door.

All of the above plus Nom! and sharing plates.

Do I even want to know what that means?

“Keep your eyes peeled “ and “ I have skinned my knee” always make me wince .
There is a seaside stall close to where I like that advertised “ creamy crab soup .” The combination of creamy and crab makes 2 horrible words sound even worse .
I also hate the word flesh . I have German family and the German word for gum is Zahnfleisch , which literally translates as tooth-flesh . This makes me feel ill !

Hubby x1000, hun, babes 🤢

@Bluelillies

Pudding Just typing that made me want to cry-I hate it

Fugly-my daughter had to explain its a cross between fat and ugly
Hangry-eh?your just hungry so please eat something
In fact please don’t put two words together to make a whole new word-it’s just wrong

Hubby/wifey/other half-other half to what?your a whole person in your own right

Boils my piss lol

Whats wrong with pudding? Genuinely curious.

I hate affectations particularly as related to food, cooking and eating. I can't bear it when people sling ingredients together or chuck stuff in the oven or throw stuff in pans. Ditto grabbing a bite or munching on something or popping a tasty fucking morsel in their gobs. No to nibbling, tasting or picking at. No picky bits or treats or nice sides or posh chocs or jacket pots. Nothing is nommy or yum or delish. It's all so visceral and vulgar and makes me feel faintly sick.

Any cutesy, infantilised forms of words used by adults (unless they're talking to a baby). Including all that 'mama bear' type stuff.

@grapewines kiddlwinks are children 💁🏻‍♀️
