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?

I'm another one who hates the word tasty

Helping.

As in “can I have another helping of dinner please?”

Totally with you on ‘stink’ OP.

Such a horrible word.

I do use it when something really smells bad but so many people use it for fairly innocuous smells too.

My husband will say the cooking smells ‘stink’ and yet happily sit down to eat the food when it’s cooked 🙄

When he’s cooking, I don’t say it stinks, I think it’s rude.

Shit
Horrible word and I hate how it's used so much for incomprehensible reasons - eg shit ton? Wtf does that even mean?

Agree yummy and comfy - urgh.

Chopped. When people suggest chopped salads, involving chopped lettuce, chopped cucumber, chopped tomatoes, chopped peppers. What the hell else would I do with it? Just chuck a full lettuce, cucumber, pepper and tomato in a bowl and eat it whole? But there's also something about the word I don't like, for no apparent reason.

Engorged.

'Excellent' known a few people who describe nearly every as Excellent and it truly scratches my crow

I hate it when people say “sweet treats” which seems to be all the time these days.

I so agree about "tasty" 🤮

Also "abode" sets my teeth on edge.

Agree - hate veggies, leggings - cannot actually say either!

Agree with pension pot.
Also hate the word tits.

Banter
When people say they want to 'read a good book' it makes me cringe how unexciting that sounds.

Pussy, never sounds sexy, especially in the moment.

Horrid.

I cringe when adults use it. It's a childish word.

Butty

The words stink/stinky are the same for me!! Hate them but don't know why either!

So off putting if someone uses them!
