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 🤣

'Think outside the box' - so overused that it belongs in a box!

'I'm not racist/ prejudiced/ trying to be rude, BUT....'

'Pre-loved'

'Made with love'

'Happy birthday' if said to me!

Other annoying words: resilience (trans. : fuck you, deal with it), [noun]-friendly - a toxic mix of cloying, smug and needy, often with nonsensical results. For eg I see food described as 'vegan-friendly' - what does that even mean? Cows probably feel quite friendly towards vegans because vegans don't eat them or take away their babies. So is steak 'vegan-friendly' then? What about that wall over there, which has never expressed any hostility towards vegans? I guess that's 'vegan-friendly' too. Just say 'vegan', you sanctimonious halfwit.

@ToWhitToWhoo ooh, the ‘made with love’ one just reminded me that ‘artisan’ grips my shit too

Artisan jam, artisan cheese, artisan bread, artisan fucking everything which costs double normal stuff!

'Hand cooked'. No it bloody isn't. You can't cook with your hands.

Or 'home made' food sold in a café or pub.

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain Similarly, “hand-dived” for shellfish. Makes me think of little hands, with scuba gear on, finning their way down to the seabed.

"Adulting." Seems to be a fairly new word for doing normal adult things such as cleaning, shopping and paying bills.

Cuppa.
Bub/Bubba (shudder)

’Fix’ as in can you ‘fix’ me a drink. Other half says it all the time pisses me right off!!!

LOL! It would be great if you could though, wouldn't it?

Monies. I absolutely hate it.

@Mayim
You don't like Mamabear? GUTTED! ;-)

Food

Arrrrghhhhh, all those!

Jeepers, I need to get off here and read a book or something 😆

"Said", used instead of "the" to convey a smug victory. Like someone gets allegedly poor treatment in a shop: "So, I went back to said shop with a print out of the Consumer Rights Act and bored everyone titless."

Whilst. "While" is the perfectly acceptable modern usage. Things change. We don't say perambulator any more.

Slew which is popular in MailOnline. Mind you, I read "rampant wokery" in a Mail headline a couple of weeks ago and can't stop blurting it out in an outraged voice.

Bitch
Pussy
Tummy (when used by an adult about themselves)
Tummybutton (fuck off)
Kiddies

Always crisps. Why is it always crisps?

Limerence. Such a load of crap!

All of those plus

fur baby

and nappy...don't know why but there is something about the word that makes me fell the ick. Before anyone asks yes I do have DC and yes I hated the word then as well.

BTW my outraged voice for shouting "rampant wokery" is a bit like Liz Truss.

“My world” when posting pics on FB
“Just ranting/Rant over”

Actually ‘woke’ too- shit word!

Panties - it’s infantile and creepy.

Moorish (when said in relation to food) - gah. I associate it with greed as my sil once sat eating an entire tray of brownies, refusing to offer any to others, and said “sorry I couldn’t help myself, they were so moorish.”

Staycation - people don’t even use it correctly. It’s supposed to mean staying at home or near to home but now people use it to mean going anywhere within the U.K. and it annoys me. Just say you’re going on holiday.
