To ask what words you really hate?!

[Fragmentsof2022]

I really hate the words ‘teaming’ and ‘pairing’ - as in ‘I am teaming this hat with these gloves’ or ‘She paired the silk blouse with the red skirt’. Just fuck off.

It’s like nails down a blackboard for me 🤣

I'm loving ......
Oh my days

Also gifting.

The word "treat", I just find it so annoying. I have no idea why. Calling things like McDonalds, and junk food that word. Grrr

Par-boil.

Par-boiling or par-boiling I can just live with.

Par-boil is too much.

Blue-sky as in blue-sky thinking 🙄

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon 😂 ‘par- boil’ your potatoes!!

Deserve. Hate it. I had an emotionally manipulative boyfriend un my teens. Deserve was something he always said when he was trying to manipulate his way around people. Still can't hear the word in my 30s without the ick lol

"On a weekend"

And the mumsnet fav #Blessed too!

GUYS!! I hate that. Overly: Babe; Can I GET a coffee; majorly; So - at the beginning of a paragraph or sentence; Mommy; Hun: basically; Many more which i shall post later.

Dear me this is not the thread I thought it was I opened it to write Cunt, sorry I hate that word. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Definitely 'gifting'. Our local bus company now mostly sells tickets online. You have to have an app to buy them (which none of the drivers know how to use, incidentally) and parents buy tickets for their kids on their own app then 'gift' them to their kids. What kind of a fucking 'gift' is that? A bloody bus ticket? That's got to be the worst fucking gift ever.

Wankers.

Gifting. 🙄

Hate the word moist… when describing food 🤢

Also really can’t stand the word ‘catarrh’ … makes me want to puke

And any of those mumma and bubba things 😫

Gubernatorial
Picky Bits for a buffet-style meal

Roasties, yorkies and pigs in blankets. Also yum, which invariably goes with them.

Should (see also 'ought to')
Tray bake
Chopped into (as in apple chopped into muesli) - gives me irrational rage
Boozy (when used in recipe titles). Used to be much beloved of women's magazines in the days when I read them
Cheesy - see boozy

Hate the word moist

So many people say this. I wonder how that caught on . Its the number one answer that comes up when I hear people talking about words they hate..but only in the last few years

@BessieSurtees ha, I love the C word!

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain tray bake!

Pupper - another thread just reminded me
Mumma
Bub/bubba
Baby mama
Mama bear

Have no thoughts on moist, though.

Yeah, no idea about that one. I really irrationally dislike Mary Berry and it's the sort of thing she comes out with.

'Decade'.

It's not really the word itself, it's the way people use it to their advantage to stress something.

"I've been married to my husband for two decades, and he never puts the kettle on".

As opposed to...

"I've been married to my husband for twenty years and he always makes the tea".

It's the same on the news..."Jane has been a nurse for 20 years and loves her job".

As opposed to... "Jane has been a nurse for two decades and has seen how much the NHS has declined".

No idea why it rattles me 😊

Tepid.

my DH said it this morning - shall I get some tepid water to clear the windscreen. My immediate thought was man up and call it warm water, tepid just seems so pathetic a word

i accept that this may be saying more about my feelings towards my DH than the word tepid, but it really makes my teeth itch.
