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?

Beverage. It’s a fucking drink.
Tipple. Ditto.

Both give me the rage 😡

Actually I agree with almost all of these!

Oh god this - I can’t explain why but I hate the word topping so much.

Gobsmacked, mole, aghast, Amelia, Emelia...all those mealy noises.🤢

Meal
Hubby
Tummy when used in adult conversation

Hubster is horrible

I'm sure there are more.

The word “dollop” makes me feel physically sick.

I also hate “portion” as someone already said.

I hate it when people on here say they “plated up” a meal. (I’ve never heard anyone say it in real life - just here and Masterchef).

Issue - when used instead of the word problem

also as a phrase rather than the word itself but when people say “what are you after” rather than need, want would like or are looking for.

Balk

I don't have a strong reaction to most of the words so far. But I hate repeated words, in particular:

Poo-poo
Wee-wee

They make me inexplicably angry.

Sin
sinfull
sinfully
sinless

Anything sin basically

problematic. It makes me feel instantly truculent.

Pot. Like 'pension pot'

I don't mind stink so much but I hate it in the past tense. I'm never sure if it should be stank or stunk but I hate both in equal measure.

How do you feel about words that contain the sound "sin" but mean something different, like Syntax and cinder?

Unpack, when used in the corporate sense eg "Let's unpack what you've said"

1. Coil

2. I hate it when people describe something as "super..." like "super exciting" - sound like a 4 year old.

3. I also hate the new trend of "elevate your ....." - like "elevate your massive salad"

Source, when used about buying things. Most of us call it going shopping.
