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)

My niece is a very successful influencer. I love her but everything she says on her TikTok grates on me. Is there a phrase book? They all say the same bloody things -

‘Gatekeeping’
‘Run don’t walk’
’I’m obsessed with/lowkey obsessed with’
‘It’s giving’
‘Main character’
‘Hot girl walk’
’Manifesting’
‘Vibing’
And every thing’s ’the best’. The best cookie, coffee, yoga class, meal…

It drives me to distraction.

"Ick", "vile" and "get in the bin" are worse IMO

Yes, what is wrong with saying to a child gosh that's a big teddy bear. Oh are we fake if we don't say fuck that's a big teddy bear? Bizarre.

I say "oh my goodness", and people laugh - including me! I may use "Oh my gosh!" occasionally....😆

'Blimey' always makes me think of Sid James!

This isn’t a word it’s something I see and instantly I just cringe.
It’s the men going into yoga in their shorts and no socks!! I know it’s completely unreasonable and unfair and I love that men do yoga and are into strengthening and conditioning with a bit of mindfulness, I think it’s fucking brilliant.
but seeing them in their shorts and bare feet lined up going in makes them look like kids at school about to do gym and I have to turn and face the other way.
Maybe this is a really weird one but it just grosses me out a bit 🤢
And truly sorry to any men doing yoga, keep on doing it!!

I did laugh but yes I agree!

I HATE the word snack.

The worst thing is that when it comes up in a conversation or someone starts a thread on here it’s usually repeated over and over until my blood pressure goes through the roof.

“Doris was asked to buy snacks, she didn’t ask what everyone wanted so got the wrong snacks.
I sent Walter to get some better snacks but then Clive didn’t like those snacks as he prefers different snacks.
I told them all in future I wasn’t providing snacks unless they all agreed on a snack they liked”

I heard “I could care less” a few times on something my DP was watching last night. I got so irrationally angry that I said I was turning it off and he wasn’t watching any more if I heard it again 😂.

It was some reality tv programme with people in their late twenties/thirties (love is blind uk) and so annoying that I kept getting drawn in.

Every second word was “like”. Most sentences started with “literally” or “basically” with a slight American accent.
One conversation was someone saying “so yeah, like, basically…” over and over and the other person nodding.
I noticed the sentence never did get finished 😂.
(If anyone else watched it then it was when Tom had the conversation with Tash at the mixer).

There was also lots of “ohhh myyy gosh” and “a red lip” that boiled my blood but the “I could care less” was the worst.

It doesn’t make sense! I know Americans use it and so it’s another annoying phrase like “vacation” “y’all” and “mom” that are being increasingly used in the UK.

I find it reassuring that it’s not just me that gets so wound up about words, my DP says I’m irrational and doesn’t understand it at all 😂.

I say gosh and yikes sometimes. I also say fuck and twat.

Oh, yeah, the French really do say "Oo, la laa". I love it.

😂😂😂

I won’t tell you what I’m having for dinner 🥣 😂😂😂

Adding to "love making" and "play" hatred, I also detest "kink" and "toys" in reference to sex. Even typing them out is making me shudder in revulsion.

It’s always influencers (or people who think they are influencers) who nibble or sip. It’s like they think making themselves sound like a rabbit is the height of sophistication.

Thanks very much.
We usually used the term to describe uptight society women we knew.
There were quite a few lushes in our town, actually. lol
That thought nobody was on to them is maybe the funniest part.

I’ve read so many threads on here from people saying they hate “hollibobs” and “hubs” that I actually like using these words to be contrary.

I love a good word slagging session but can’t we find new words to hate? Hollibobs are hubs. Yawnsville.

I really can't bear it when posters say, "insert here can get in the bin". It just sounds so twee. I don't mind "bin it" but "get in the bin" grates.

I’m relatively new here so haven’t seen any other threads like this, and I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. I despise those words you mentioned, but if it makes you happy to use them, good for you.

I say gosh. It was said in my house growing up, my mum's Christian and would tell us off for saying omg so it became gosh, it's just normal for me. I also swear.

Nobody who uses the word ‘ick’ has a leg to stand on when criticising words!

I say gosh, as does my 21y old. It’s a word that’s been around forever, unlike the new-fangled babyish words like ‘ick’.

@SuspiciousTimes

Honestly I could be a hollibob billionaire if I had cashed in every mention of these two words. Taking my hollibobs in the most glamorous locations.

Of course they are awful. It hardly needs saying again and again and again with dreadful predictability on every thread. Every single thread.

Yes. Or get in the sea.

I hate ‘hate on’.

I also dislike people ‘grabbing’ a coffee, ‘chucking’ something in the slow cooker or ‘throwing on’ a coat. Are we really all in such a permanent rush?

😂It is strange isn’t it. Mine is when people say ‘pud’, as in ‘ main course and a pud’.

So, gently....

Maybe I'm grumpy but when my children were babies I used to dislike it when anyone who handed my the baby back to me said "there you are, back to Mum" or they'd say how's Mum? (me) Drs and midwives did it, I know I'm being unreasonable but I remember thinking I have a name, I'm not just Mum
