what word winds you up for no good reason?

[brimfull]

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?

lol this thread is the funniest ever and has stopped me going to bed for at least an hour because I am laughing/cringeing at all those words

I irrationally dislike:

Possetting
Layette
Serviette

hmmm think i spot a pattern here...

panties

supper

24/7

Uni

"space" as in poncey C4 property shows. (Yes, Kevin McCloud, I AM talking about you!)

singular fashion speak: trouser, pant. Grrr!

Moreish

Din't ever hear that word until I started office life at 16. Maybe I was too common but it has annoyed me ever since!

Gristle

Oh yes, moist when talking about food. Yuck.

And succulent.

"At this point in time" rather than "now".

And "gifted" to mean "given".

Toilet
Moist
Pressie
Crimbo

Belly

Bap

'whatever' spoken by sulky teenager

Butty instead of sandwich..I hate it with a passion

'Hubby'

I immediately want to smack anyone who uses it. It is so fucking twee and pathetic.

Oooh, I've woken up in a good mood today.

Ooh I have one!

'Baby', as opposed to 'the baby', used by midwives everywhere (but not you snaf, right? Right???!)

Also in same context, 'mum'.

horrid.

Is the word 'horrible' too grown up for you?

Makes me cringe. IF you're not a spoilt 6yo girl with pigtails and a lisp trying (and failing) to be cute, DON'T USE IT!

is there a public lavatory in your village though?

hubby

bubba

nanny (as in grandmother rather than the hired help)

nanna/ nana

belly

luncheon

also agree on the panties and moist

poorly when used by an adult to another adult

no botty slotting going on there then!?

Tittys and boobies wind me up as does fanny such childish words!

tits is ok though

titties not good,a bit benny hill

Always remember my sister's male but very camp schoolfriend hating the phrase 'moist gusset' - looks like he's in good company.

I always think the phrase 'And now take your panties off...' is hysterical. (Not that I've ever heard in anger so to speak... )

In fact, I love any word or phrase that others hate and enjoy slipping them into the conversation...

'pop' as in doctors saying 'pop your legs in the stirrups' / 'pop your clothes off' / 'pop onto the bed' (this is not just my doctor - I've heard it from others)

Things being described as 'quality' (and supposedly meaning 'high quality')without any indication of what kind of quality. POOR quality? LOUSY quality? Quality does not mean good, whatever 'Quality Street' want you to think.

Also 'In this day and age', and 'I'm not being funny, but'.

Then there's 'vag'...

Oh yes, and 'ejaculate' - not the action, the stuff - 'the ejaculate'
