Slang words which make me cringe ?

I can take or leave ‘jabbed’ but ‘uni’ is nails on a blackboard to me, specially on anyone over 40.

I know these are not strictly slang words but I hate the expression 'steak dinner' and 'all the trimmings'. Just sounds so naf.

arvo for afternoon , delish , crimbo , any word shortened for no good reason really .

I much prefer vaccination to jab, but absolutely detest ‘deets’ instead of details, holibobs, going forward in place of in the future and last but not least mebbes.

I had a friend who talked about her "poorlies" when having her period. Also hate the phase "a coffee"; can't you have two?

Some of these are regional, some are younger generations speak but some are just lazy, my 2 year old granddaughter says Din dins when she's hungry.

I just hated the term used for going to a club after the pub "going for a boogie" aaargh! Or a"bop" what's worse is when these terms are used by old or middle aged women who still think they're teens......cringeworthy

There’s some current TV add on buying a used car, that makes me want to chuck a brick at the TV every time. The bloke just looks irritating for a start, plus he drops every available T.
Ending with, ‘You’re in the driving seat now, Bri’ain!’ ?

For the sake of my blood pressure I really must do more recording and zooming through the ads.

Jezra above sentiments from Scribbles echoed and many apologies for the timing of my contribution - not the most appropriate positioning in the circumstances.

Jezra, that's appalling. I appreciate that, at such a time, you don't need any extra stress and probably wouldn't want to make an official complaint but somebody really does need to take that nurse aside and have a quiet word about more appropriate, professional use of language. My best wishes to you through a sad time.

More of a euphemism rather than slang but ‘passed away’ or, worse, ‘passed’. Why can’t anyone say ‘died’ any more? The use of ‘passed on’ or ‘over’ implies a belief in the after life. This one has come from the USA and is, sadly, probably here to stay.

“On” not “in”

Oh@Scribbles!
Talking of “pop” or “popping”
The nurse from my mum’s nursing home phoned me and said, “l’m just letting you know that I’m popping your mum in end of life care.”
Hardly an appropriate word to use under the circumstances. ?

Tbh I can’t stand the advert for Yorkshire Tea. Yorkshire - where everything is done proper! Except the proper use of grammar. ?

Again not slang as such, but ‘a newborn’ instead of ‘a new baby’.
Hardly anybody seems to have a new baby nowadays, they’re all ‘newborns’.

I know it's illogical but Pop makes me grind my teeth - as in "just pop it down there",or "I'm just popping out to the shops".
I expect to hear a small explosive sound!

Really don’t mind the word jab but hate, just hate the word gotten

Gobsmacked. Ugly word innit?

Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread

'Grab' really gets on my nerves e.g. I will just grab a sandwich etc.

Also, jumping into things e.g. I'll just jump in the car/bath/etc.

Veggies, brekkie, sunnies, addy(address). Australians shorten just about anything. Think I’ll take a sickie today !

Jab ok. Do able not ok why cant they say it can be done.
Top Banana and Your A Star. WHY!!!!

'Bub' or 'bubba' for baby. Sounds like a plague boil.

And the reverse of slang: no one seems to have tea, high tea, dinner or evening meal any more; everyone has supper, sometimes a kitchen supper.

I hate the word kids for children.

I always think 'you've got young goats?'

When I was in my 30s I had a partner who was in her 40s and she would talk about her titties. That was a word we'd maybe use in our teenage years but not in our 30s and 40s

I hate the expression “quit or quitting” in relation to smoking cessation. Why cant it be “stopped” smoking, or “giving up”smoking ?

most of you would have hated that man Shakespeare.
