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 🤣

Not a word but watching programmes with warnings like "contains scenes that may disturb some viewers" / "unsuitable for children"

I'm not saying I want to be disturbed but given what I was watching, hardly a shock

Woke

It sounds judgemental. But when I think about it I don’t understand why being awake is a bad a that. Woke must surely be better than being asleep. Wake up!

Moist
eggy

"Famalam"
"Holibobs
"Making memories"
Cringe........

"nautical" used to describe something:

"Ooh, that is a very nautical T-Shirt"
"My bathroom has a nautical theme"

I can accept it is a word. I don't mind it being used in conjunction with the navy or when referring to miles. But not for bleeding clothing or shower curtains.

“I think that’s an issue we should address outwith this meeting.”

”I’m going to cut the brake cables on your car.”

Yes, hydraulic brakes on modern cars have pipes, not cables.

Usually not the handbrake

I really dislike the expression Karen, so sexist and ageist.

But I did laugh at the fact that Elon Musk is being called a "Space Karen" on Twitter today because he's thrown his toys out of the pram over his private jet being tracked and people using Mastodon instead of Twitter.

I know I am hypocritical.

Yes all of those are very cringe!

True. I don't know how mine's controlled, both it and the last one have a switch for the "handbrake."

Anyway, have we had "refute" yet? I've seen it used instead of rebuke, but more commonly, to deny. You haven't refuted a case unless you've systematically taken the other party's case apart, point by point and proven it to be wrong.

Yes, Daily Mail, I'm thinking mostly of you!

Selfish. The over use, the pursed lipped judgy, sheer unorigionality of it, makes me furious.

I was sick of it in early 2020. It was way, way overused during lockdown.

I was then on another thread and saw one... jammies. It's pyjamas not jammies!

I've seen "peaked" on here, quite a few times. I've realised they mean "piqued."

Yes I find that quite cringe as well.

I know some people also find the word cringe, cringe

"Hate on." Why? You hate something, not on it.

Bunce. Our finance director at work uses it all the time. Makes me want to stab him with a fork.

Also toilet used as a verb when applied to dogs or toddlers.

I’ll take your word for it. Me, when the windscreen squirty thing stops squirting, I sell the car.

Jesus! How do you afford two cars a month in winter?

😀

I have Jenkins clean the front window before each trip, so the squirty thing lasts a good six months.

I recently learned that in many cases the squirty thing can be replenished, but a little research revealed that in order to do that you need a car with a lid at the front that opens, and as far as I’m aware my vehicle doesn’t have one of those.

To share
As in, I've brought us some snacks to share.

Enjoy
As in DH and I enjoy a glass of wine each with dinner.

both sound downright affected.
