Words you don't like (light hearted)

I understood 'grochle' (not grockle) to be a fairly hefty shifting of mucus/phlegm in the throat, possibly resulting in a hawk/spit onto the ground.

I dislike the word seam, including when it is part of seamstress. Seem is okay though.

Harrigran I used that word to my grandson the last time he stayed here:
“Nanny please may I have my phone for five minutes?”
“When you have been up and done your ablutions!” He hadn’t the faintest idea what I was talking about! It’s a hangover from my military days!

Mothers referring to thier sons as " little man " you never hear them refer to girls as their " little women " .

Loathe 'you guys'.
Innit.
Really toe curling :- ablutions, DH will use it to wind me up, works every time.

I love pusillanimous, tertiary, carnage and muscular.
I hate frock; bust (as in ‘bust size’); panties; crap; and any word that is serially mispronounced, like jewellery and nuclear.

Love the French word for twilight - le crepuscule. Did French Romantic poetry at A level and came across it, and it has stuck in my mind; there was a line something like the smell of the eucalyptus trees at twilight, and quite like the word describing that too - terebinthe, (although looking that up now it means turpentine!)

Hate also ' wear and tear' ?

What a great thread Phoenix and agree with hubby and most of the choices already made, particularly-
Moist
You guys/guys
Panties
Slacks
Ace and Epic

I love -
Conflab
Any onomatopoeic words ( hope I've spelt that correctly, it doesn't look right) - like chomp.

The term 'suck it up' is horrid, too. ?

I growl every time a television presenter refers to people from the UK as 'Brits'

Glut
Phlegm
Snot
Hawk (as in spitting/coughing)

obese

I hate the words .....
Panties
Phlegm
Babe
Pus
Turd
Stout - as in overweight
Delish
Fabulishiousness

Love the words....
Sheugh - as in a ditch with water.
at the side of a country road.
Angel
Cherish
Tinkle
Silken
Stocious

Kalu The envelope that is pushed is the air pressure outside a plane, although I rather doubt the the people who use this expression realise that. It is neither stationary nor stationery.

I also dislike the word lavatory
There was a Gent's lavatory, in our town when I was growing up, it was eventually closed down due to the unsavoury going ons in it.

Unsavoury, I like that!

Isn't it odd that the words most disliked are those that tend to refer to the nether regions!

I quite like "vestibule" but people don't seem to have them these days. They have "hallways" and "porches".

Dislike crotch

Love serendipity
scunnered

I've always heard a throaty cough called a cruckle here in Scotland.
I hate pimple.
I love the word fritillary

Grockles are tourists to Devon and Emmets are tourists to Cornwall - aka the plastic mac and sandal brigade.

I loved 'grockle' which I only heard in Scotland.
Its a throaty cough, I think?

FarNorth there was an Australian song which included lots of (Australian) girls' names ending in 'ine' or 'ene' but I can't remember who sang it.

halcyon
I must try and casually drop it into conversations now.
MissA try not to gush, though, when you do

I like most words with 'amp' in them, example is very nice.
I never liked names ending in 'ene' or 'ine' or even 'een', like Eileen, Marlene etc.

Armpit - I use the Scottish word - oxter.

oh, very droll.
I like droll.
