Words and phrases you would like to see vanish

[YonicSleighdriver]

Inspired by a couple of other threads...

Cat fight
Bimbo
Glamourous (in the context of, say, Glamourous Lawyer Amal Clooney)
Maiden name (birth name is preferable, I think)
Losing of virginity (any other firsts like first house, first pay packet etc are not depicted as losses)
Busty

Open to suggestions and discussions on my choices!

Any version of 'have some me time' which involves having a bath. I can have a bloody bath whenever, it's not me time, it's usually to get some heat into my aching joints.

"Wife-beater" to describe beer. Or a type of dog.

The "Little woman".... anyone who has met me knows I am a woman, and not little. Not little at all.

You're quite clever "for a girl"... no, I am just quite clever, you know, like a lot of people are. My genetalia is not dependant on my IQ.

#ChedEvansIsInnocent... no, he fucking well isn't.

Annie and add to that "male model", "male escort", "male nurse" etc.

(Although I make an exception for Cats That Look Like Male Models deshommesetdeschatons.tumblr.com/ )

Slut - by both men and women.

Flaunting as in "Flaunting her curves"

fishwife
amazon
bunny boiler

Feisty. I've yet to hear a man be described as feisty. It always carries an undertone of 'slightly hysterical woman possibly on her period'. Hate the word.

Oo and following on from that, can we permanently dispose of "bubbly" as a descriptor of anything other than fizzy drinks? When applied to females of varying ages, it just makes me cringe. That and "ditzy".

I'm a feminist but.......

'The curse' for period

BD, anything in mind for the end if that sentence?

I'm a feminist but I don't like celery! (This is controversial on FWR )

Ha ha Yonic, though celery is pure evil and transcends gender. Somebody told me it uses more energy to consume than what it provides!
This is bit of a cross post as most have already been covered in the other forums

Shrill. Never applied to a bloke.

Oooh yes... Good one Blame

Bird logic

Conversely, I dislike "woman" as an adjective ("woman vicar" etc) - it's usually male nurse, not man nurse, right?

But agree with Annie - it should just be nurse and vicar!

The word bird to describe a woman. I cannot watch Jeremy Kyle without having to throw something at the telly when he describes someone as 'your current bird.'

Also pours her curves. As in Kelly Brook pours her curves into a dress.

Can I also ask for Page 3 girl to vanish too?

"Chick" for a woman/girl.

She's a go-er

"Guys", when there is a mixed group BUT utterly indefensible when referring to a group of women.

"Manned" when the people doing the 'manning' are men and women - what's so wrong with 'staffed'?

I'm guilty of using "guys" because the alternative I'd want to use is "sisters", which I can only get away with on here!

Otherwise it's "people" or "folks" - "are we ready, people" - which is satisfyingly unisex.

Maybe I should try "gentlefolk"?

yes, 'gentlefolk' is nicely odd! Will road test it tomorrow!

"are we ready, people"

I just don't really understand why "y'all" has not migrated outside the Southern US. It is so useful, y'all.
