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 🤣

Forage. I hate when people talk about foraging for blackberries. When I was a kid we just picked them.

I have a few, thankfully I only see most of them on MN.
Golly, gosh and goodness.

I don't understand the "moist" hate...

Bring, instead of take. My 9 year old DD says it frequently, as in: "Oh, I need to bring X to school tomorrow."

Word pairings, such as "oven baked," to distinguish it from a pie baked in a bloody kettle?

"At age such and such," it's aged, or at the age of, FFS!

Poorly. Particularly adults who describe themselves as poorly. My 45 year old colleague came in the other day and said "I'm feeling really poorly today" and it just made me want to slap her.

hubby 🤮

and kids for children.
I hate that but I'm completely on my own there I think.
A child psychologist used kid instead of child recently on a radio programme. 🙄
Arghhhhhh

People who say “I’ve got mental health” when they actually mean mental ill health. Mental health is a good thing surely!

and kids for children.

Robert Graves wrote about American words and slang, coming into use in Britain, in the 30s. Kids was one example, I think that particular battle is long lost!

The C word
Baby girl 🤮 - when talking about a female teen/adult

"Baby daddy" can fuck off and die.

Hate the word "selfish". Not just because it's so often used to describe women who want anything for themselves other than a life of grinning servitude. But also the word itself sounds like baby-speak!

TERF

I also hate teamed/paired. See also topped/atop on menus. I blame bloggers for all of the above. Makes me cringe.

I also hate ‘eatery’. There’s a journalist in a city I used to live in that massively overused it and it made me irrationally cross!

I hate the word Turd

It makes me internally gag

I hate eatery and its brother eaterie.

'My bad' I fucking hate that phrase but I'm not sure why.

Oh and I despise the phrase "you've/we've got this"

It's used by Americanized twats

Fur babies

Legumes. Reminded by a thread last week.

Also beverage. What's wrong with 'drink'?

Yes I boycott companies which use the phrase "Christmas gifting"!

I don't like "impact" as a verb. You may be impacted by an asteroid, but otherwise you are affected by something.

Yes, completely overused during the pandemic, along with resilience.

Thought of another one. Shop as a verb.

"Shop our new range"

It always used to be browse, or buy from or choose from.

On accident instead of by accident
