village

such a poncy word with connotations of Mrs. Marple like places ,when actually people are talking about some awful sprawl of 60's housing beside the M3.

what makes your hackles rise?

'serviette' irritates me for no good reason

As does 'smellies' when referring to soaps/bath stuff, usually in the context of gifts

Oh, and 'gifting' and 're-gifting' are both shckingly awful.

brimfull · 29/12/2007 00:02

vulva is awful as well

I thought it was actual babies dancing like the one calista flockhart imagined in ally mcbeal

"Wait up!" instead of "Oi!"

We are not in America.

serviette is nasty

Lauriefairycake · 29/12/2007 00:04

'stool' as in sample

as a trainee nurse I am going to have to say this rather a lot

girth makes me feel ill

i LOVE panties. from that barry white song, love serenade "I dont wanna see no panties
And take off that brassiere, my dear". lol. i had a boyfriend who wrote that on his fridge during a party and i thought it was hilarious.

ChorusLineMistletoeAndWine · 29/12/2007 00:06

No panties in jeans that's so necessary - Jay Z lyrics....then it makes me think of gusset's again!

CremolaFirCone · 29/12/2007 00:07

at the end of the day this raft of measures will ensure a sea change of thought and some radical blue sky thinking has lead us to push the envelope.....

bil talks this way all the time

Aitch · 29/12/2007 00:07

words ending in "tastic" that shouldn't

Except poncetastic for some reason

pania · 29/12/2007 00:09

I don't mind arse at all, but can't stand the American version ass, or worse, asshole. How illogical is that!

ChorusLineMistletoeAndWine · 29/12/2007 00:09

For what its worth and if you want my honest opinion at the end of the day she needs to think outside the box.....aarrggghhh my meetings at work are like this

Also a lighthouse in a fog of ideas is a particular favourite

CremolaFirCone · 29/12/2007 00:09

must allow 'norktastic' surely

brimfull · 29/12/2007 00:10

I sometimes say "it's in the larder sweetie"

usually have my tongue in cheek

How about pantaloons, Aitch? Is it the 'pant' bit you dig? Pantheon? Ummm...

I have an intense sislike of 'ENSEMBLE'

My dad used to use it to describe clothes... 'Oh I do like your brown ensemble'.

Now it annoys me even more because the DS's school refers to any group of young musicians as one. So DS2 - Grade 2 violin - is in the 'String Ensemble'.

perhaps it is, the pantheon in rome is easily my favourite building in the whole world.
