To despise the word 'comfy'?

[citylightsbehind]

Urggggggh. I don't know why, but I hate it.

I personally will abide a bit of discomfort for aesthetic reasons, but would never look askance at those who choose comfort over fashion.

I just have a, possibly unreasonable, hatred of the word.

I hate it too. Horrible cosy laziness. I also hate 'veggie'.

And 'pamper'. Yuk, it is so infantilising. Makes women sound like they want to be babied and back in nappies.

It doesn't annoy me, but at the same time I don't know why 'comfortable' gets its own abbreviation when other comparable adjectives don't. What's special about the concept of 'comfortable' that it needs a shortened version?

Oddly, 'veggie', as referenced above by @Lovageandgeraniums, really grates on me. I also hate it when people say 'roasties' and 'Yorkies' for roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. Oh and when people describe themselves as a 'foodie'. And when tennis commentators call left-handed players 'lefties'.

I appreciate this is very much my problem and not theirs, though. I make no claims to rationality over this.

I love all things comfy! Huge soft sofas, king-size bed with memory foam mattress, soft dressing gown and loads of blankets.
Sorry but comfy is my happy place!

But the OP was talking about the word 'comfy', I think, rather than the actual concept of comfort?

When I was at school my friend did her gcse art project around the word comfy. Only, she spelt it cumfy.

Bizarre

From the OP'S post:
I personally will abide a bit of discomfort for aesthetic reasons
I love to be comfy too much to abide a bit of discomfort for aesthetic reasons!

This! I'm all in on comfy!

I see your comfy and I raise you "tummy". Especially when uttered by health professionals 🙄

It seems odd that you will accept discomfort seeming purely because you hate the sound of the word 'comfy'.
Just say comfortable instead and make sure you always are. X

I despise 'lush'. Ugh.

I think I feel much the same about most abbreviations:

Trews
Blanky
Kids
Cardi
Ta
Dins
Hubby

Both can fuck off to the same pit of hell as 'hubby'.

Yes, @ItGhoul is right. It's the word, not the concept.

If I'm at home, on the sofa, I'm very happy to be comfortable. If I'm going out to dinner or a meeting, I might choose statement over comfort, but I don't judge anyone who feels differently.

But to be fair, I also hate it when someone describes something they've eaten or cooked and they finish with, Yum!

@ItGhoul I'm with you on most of these, but am oddly unbothered by leftie.

@TerrifiedandWorried 😂

@stickygotstuck God yes! That word shouldn't be used by or to anyone over 8.

Also, "slippy" instead of "slippery".

Yes, pamper, tummy, hubby, lush, all these can go in the bin. Comfy is fine though I think?

Toasty and hubby are my personal top two dislikes

Anyone who uses " comfy" when in the work environment is despicable eg " I'm comfy with that" It irritates me irrationally!

Oooh. I haven't come across that, but I agree. Could be grounds for instant dismissal?

I see it more in Style & Beauty...

It was a senior manager using it so no chance 😀

All these words are putting my teeth on edge… I’m with you OP

Hideous. Report it to HR!

When I hear the world tummy I want to spontaneously combust into the worlds atmosphere.
I fucking hate that word and I cannot tell you why 🤣

Ugh, yes it’s awful! Also hate “yummy,” “jammies” (for pyjamas) and adults (I know some) who talk about “pussy cats.”
