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?

Came here to say gusset and someone already got there - solidarity!

Also can't stand:
Cuppa
Bubba
Loo
Sweater (if your jumper makes you sweaty take it off FGS)
Sick (I'm a bit vomit phobic so I hate the word especially when used in place of "ill" when "ill" would be fine. As for "sick" meaning something good - just no!!!)

Oh and "bust". Just say breasts/tits/ boobs.

Not a word but a phrase so I may be going off topic but I really hate the recent trend of "hating on" something. What is wrong with good old hating? What has "on" got to do with it?

Snot
Moist
Panties
Gusset
Boobs
Hubby

Hate them all.

Excited FOR, when exited ABOUT is meant. You can't be excited for an inanimate concept such as a holiday. Excited for a person who is having a baby or whatever, then of course.

Op - I DO know why I don't like the following words, so a bit off your original question, but:

belly -(crude, gross and vulgar)
bum (twee- I'm fine with arse, butt, backside etc)
kids/kiddies - twee
I don't like the consonant group 'shr' I give a little shiver when I say words containing that sound!

These I don't understand my dislike for:
brew for a hot drink
roast for a roast dinner - in fact, even roast dinner annoys me. Don't know why - sorry.

I don't understand the problem with moist but it always features somewhere in these lists.

I hate “bits” when it means something to eat. “We aren’t doing a proper dinner, we’re just having some bits”. I have no idea what this means … and it seems to mean something different to everyone who uses it.

Same with “picky bits”.

Veg...I hate this word but have absolutely no idea why. Veg out.. prep the Veg...aarrgh. also supper feels very pretentious... and what is a kitchen supper? Is supper only to be eaten in the kitchen? I think I don't understand as I feel its probably for posher folk than me...

Not the words so much as the way they are pronounced now...with American emphasis on the first element, eg:

Ice cream
Apple pie
Grown ups

They all used to have the stress on the second element. I don't mind American usages (when used by genuine Americans...) such as 'gotten', which is 17th century English taken over to America where it survives. Here it's died out. But the parroting of American speech annoys me. Other PPs have mentioned the dreaded 'Can I get...?' when requesting something in a cafe or shop, when people mean 'Can I have?'

People can tell me I'm an old dinosaur till they're blue in the face. I won't argue with them! But in this thread aren't we all letting off steam and having a therapeutic rant about quite irrational things which annoy us?

Also, dessert - used in an American sense for all kinds of sweet things and....ugh! that reminds me 'sweet treats', again for anything from a chocolate bar to what British people used to call a pudding. In fact, throw in the word treat anyway. It implies childish self-indulgence somehow.

Baby led weaning
co-sleeping

Colourway

Sanpro

‘Reach out’ - in a business sense - ‘we are reaching out to…’
‘Baby’ - as in ‘and baby sleeps’; ‘In the car baby cries’.

Nom nom
Hubby
Cheeky drink
Chubster

I found this because I also hate that word...and belly...and moist...and feet. In fact, I hate them so much it's hard to even type the words. Why? I don't know. I've always hated those words.

Pudding, bedding, truckle, suckle and sick unless someone has 'been sick'.

Mucky
Crutch - when they mean crotch
My little man

Fat

Polyp 🤢🤢🤢

Mucus, hubby, pussy (as in vagina) 🤮

Guff
Jollop
Hearth
Catarrh
Belly
Pullover

Snack makes me die inside when I hear it, it’s unavoidable because so maybe people use it and sounds so childish when adults say they are snacking or buying snacks.

I hate the word chuckle and “cheeky” as in “cheeky smile” or “cheeky wine”

I agree with most of the other posters but especially on “hubby” or “hubster”. If I meet someone who uses those words then I know to avoid them forever.

I hate 'belly' - it just seems vulgar to me and reminds me of beer bellies. Also 'bum' - strangely I like 'arse' and 'butt', but bum just seems twee when used by adults. I know I'm being completely illogical here!

There are lots of expressions I hate - but I know OP asked about words, so a bit off-topic. One I see on here a lot is 'lives rent free in your head'. I hate this because it's naff and hackneyed and I imagine it being said in a corny American accent with vocal fry. Ugh (covers ears).

Anything over 100% eg 110% or 1000% there's no such thing 😡

Lush
Babe
Wife (I got married last year and I just hate the word, I prefer partner)
Super (before words instead of very, but not as a word to mean great, eg. Super heavy)
Holibobs
Hubby/hubster
Supper
Nervous (I hate it when people say I'm nervous instead of angry because nervous means afraid)
Vulva
Fair (when people say it as a conversation stopper)
Mental health

Wholesome

Belly

I probably posted on this thread already but I can’t stand
“play out”
I don’t know why it annoys me so much
