I hate the word 'stink'. What words do you hate for no real reason?

[wellthatsfuckedup]

I dunno if it's just because I dislike it so much, but 'stink' or 'stinky' or 'stinking' seems to be written regularly on different posts. I hate it and no idea why really it's just a word

It's not even like it evokes an unpleasant memory, like of an awful odour or something. I have no logical reason for my not liking the word. Maybe just the way the k looks kind of sharp at the end, and abruptly finishes the word? And of course it does mean and unpleasant thing, whereas the word 'slink' does not necessarily...See, I told you it made no sense.

Also, belly. Again I can't really say why I don't like this word. I don't have such a violent dislike as in I don't mind other people using it, but would never use it myself.

What words do you hate for totally illogical reasons?

Brexit. Hate the word, hate the thing.

I hate the phrase ‘grown adult’. It basically implies the person saying it it sooo much superior to this person who can’t make good decisions or should automatically know what to do because they are over 18.

Panties.

Pants, knickers or even kecks, if you must, are all fine.
Just no panties please.

Another one came to me today and I remembered this thread.

Pick

"He needs to go and pick which one he wants"

Choose! Choose!! 😖

'Offer' when related to food - so insufferably smug and I've only ever heard it used on MN.

We always offer crudités before a meal. If the children finish their meal we'll offer fresh fruit.

Offer? Fuck off. I don't offer. I make the tea and they can eat it or find themselves hungry around 9pm.

I know of someone who married a Mr.Smellie and took his name. Absolutely mindboggling.

I have loads, but they've all been done already!

I hate all the food and eating related ones, especially on the threads sneering at or slagging people off for something - they're always 'gorging', 'guzzling', 'chomping' or 'slurping', never just eating and drinking. Even typing that made me feel queasy 🤢

I have no idea who this woman is, but I want her dead.

Peckish.

@xprincessxjanetx I also hate "having a brew" for having a cup of tea, but I know why that is and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if the only person I know who uses the expression would say it in her normal adult voice instead of putting on an exaggerated Scouse accent.

The use of the word "beautiful" for meat .

A view is beautiful , a person is beautiful, a house is beautiful .

"See Lidl , their meat is beautiful"

No meat can be delicious .
But not beautiful

IMO

Where do you stand on "drawers" or "breeks" ?

Or is it "draws"?

Lunch

Ample portion. I struggled to type that. Dh will say it to enjoy my reaction, which usually involves the use of violent sexual imagery.

People who say mom from Britain. It's everywhere and people say they've always said it. Having lived pretty much everywhere in the UK I believe it is a creeping americanism.

Smash, when used in a political context, e.g. smash the patriarchy, smash capitalism etc. I’m all for bringing down the patriarchy, or getting rid of it, but I don’t want to “smash” it. There’s something so cringe about it.

Oooh yes, thanks for that one. I always wonder exactly what people have bought, but I always assume it’s something that’s a waste of money.

Cum (when used as 'combined with'). Can't you find a better word?

My parents live next door to a Manse ( Scottish vicarage). I hate the way they pronounce it and they actually use the word rather than say “it” or something.
I had an uncle who used to call my aunties spots “ the bunch”. So fucking creepy and weird.

Pod 🤢🤮
Also hubby!

Sloppy.

Had a school teacher who used to boom out at assembly 'stop sitting sloppily' in a disgusted voice at us children.
It was like we were dirt the way he said it and it's put me off the word forever.
