AIBU to get visceral ick from...

[Chopbob]

People using the word gosh, or golly gosh.

I have never in real life heard anyone other than MN posters and Disney princesses use gosh. It's absolutely vile.

It can get in the bin along with moist, supper and plonk (wine).

(Lighthearted of course)

blimmin heck is another lovely one.

I might make that my signature swear.

Hate when people say "give your head a wobble" Hate it so much

No, people have hated it since long before that. There’s a Canadian grunge band called Moist. My friends and I saw them live once or twice when they toured in the UK and everyone - everyone! - said ‘Eww, what a horrible name for a band, I hate that word’ when we told them about it. That was over 30 years ago.

Especially if it was 'tasty'. #cringes I don't know why, but I really hate that word! (I hate 'flavoursome' too though, so I'm kind of stuffed really when trying to describe nice food.)

I was going to say this 😂

’A lush’ is an established word for a drunk - usually a specific kind of drunk, the type who is a bon viveur, maybe someone quite theatrical, rather than a bog-standard alcoholic. So definitely not confined to your community - and it’s been around since at least the 1800s!

Hollibobs and panties ughhhhh

Chrimbo as well

Where do you stand on ‘delicious’? I don’t mind it to describe food, but if people use it for anything else I consider it a flogging offence.

‘Panties’ is so repellent. If a man used the word ‘panties’ to me, my legs would snap shut immediately, never to part again in his presence. It’s so prissy and unsexy.

I say gosh all the time and I have been known to use the occasional golly. Blummin eck and blimey.

I'm no saint but wasn't brought up to swear (or eff and jeff as my mum used to say). I wince when I hear folk say the see you next tuesday word. My manager sits at her desk effing constantly and she is a lot posher than me, but swears like a sailor! I get the 'ick' listening to her.

Aaarrrggghh - and people who say ‘nookular’ for nuclear.

Some Americans do it. It’s so illogical. Nuclear is the adjective from the noun nucleus.

Fiddle dee dee? (courtesy of Scarlett O’Hara) 😁

Thought of another one. I don’t like ‘brew’ for a hot brown drink. I cannot tell you why - but it really grates on me.

Yes and don't forget to make sure your jumper sleeves cover half your hands..all so bloody predictable isn't it...

I have a visceral dislike of the words

• ick
• grim
• narcissist

😆

Going on about things giving you ick is way worse, so YABU.

I think Gosh is one of those things I say occasionally but wouldn't write down. And I've never heard anyone go on about ICK in spoken conversation. Language evolves.

I worked in an environment where swearing was absolutely not acceptable. I used golly and the like. A bit Enid Blyton but harmless.
if we’re talking ick then hubs, hubby, hubster, veggies can join the ick list please.

Yes I’m with you. It sounds like toddler speak!

What is the most acceptable word for these...garments? I hate them all. Though I don't mind 'drawers' actually.

And 'gusset' is monstrous.

I like gosh; my dear late dad used to say it.

Don't mind the other words on your list.

My detested words are 'holibobs',. 'famalam', 'Chrimbo', ;making memories'; and 'Happy birthday' if its said to me!

The same as anyone over the age of 5 using the word 'tummy'

Hospical (hospital) or bockle (bottle). Stop it.

I’ve always blamed Bob Geldof for the decline in the English language and increase in the acceptance of swearing in general, the F word in particular.
Swearing was generally thought of as the domain of low and uneducated people, and probably all male groups, but certainly not in public.

Given that I have, this afternoon, had a conversation with my 4yr old granddaughter, who has only been at school for a month, as to why it is unacceptable for her to be looking for her “ fucking horse” I wish we still had some standards.

'Holibobs' is another made up word that should be banned for all eternity...
