?
Bad enough when used in a food type context but when applied to a pair of shoes or a man...

Oh, oh AND Delicious - fine in terms of food, scent etc but delicious irony?? nonono and any other application. No.

I also wibble at the word Gusset.

Scrotum is a bit um, non-yummy but I think the Holy peps it up a treat.

Pop v fizzy drink is a regional/class thing.

Everyone round here calls it pop (up north)

snice · 19/07/2009 22:53

'cept me cos I is posh

HolyScrotum · 19/07/2009 22:56

I dont mind at all when said with an accent - it doesnt grate - its when fellow southerners say it. Usually only the over 50s but there are some die-hards!

I said my peanut butter sandwich with lots of butter on white bread was yummy-because it bloody well was yummy
Therefore YABU

Thanks for the hair stroke, ahhhh.

Anyway talking of gussets. Flaccid is a horrible word isnt it?

HolyScrotum · 19/07/2009 23:01

Yummy for food is (almost) ok. As you were MrsR.

Oh my good freakin lord - Flaccid is an evil word!

MitchyInge · 19/07/2009 23:02

it's not as annoying as grown women using the word horrid

OracleInaCoracle · 19/07/2009 23:03

intercourse. as in "we had intercourse last night"

its sex! you sound like my gynaecologist.

mrsruffallo · 19/07/2009 23:03

Grown women saying wicked makes me cringe (Wicked as in good that is)

OracleInaCoracle · 19/07/2009 23:04

and when people write your when they mean you're.

mrsruffallo · 19/07/2009 23:05

The worst is loose instead of lose
It's EVERYWHERE!!!

HolyScrotum · 19/07/2009 23:05

nodding @ all of these.

Lush is another one on my shit list, but think I may be on my own with that one.

Luscious, Scrumptious - I'm on an agst-filled roll now!

Nervous now you're all starting on typo's... and you thought I was harsh.

OP posts:
OracleInaCoracle · 19/07/2009 23:08

oooh and potato's/potatoe's instead of potatoes.

lisad123 · 19/07/2009 23:09

god im running away now as dyslexia means i have terrible typos!! byeeee

OracleInaCoracle · 19/07/2009 23:11

lol, dyslexia is ok however, laziness isn't!

Sugarkane · 20/07/2009 00:19

Vomit and vulgar really make my stomach turn, for some strange reason I like bollock (not bollocks), oh and why is the skullduggery so under used I love it.

TheArmadillo · 20/07/2009 09:09

horrid is the worst word an adult can use imo.

Horrible would fit just as well and wouldn't make you sound like a 4yo.

I know I am being unreasonable with that one but I HATE it. It always makes people sound like Violet Elizabeth (?) from the just william and I expect them to start stamping their feet and developing a lisp.

EccentricaGallumbits · 20/07/2009 09:17

Yumola?
