Words that make you shudder

The word meal.Not sure why

Basically I dislike basically, particularly when it's used in every sentence.
Her, or him indoors is another one that sets my teeth on edge.

I loathe the americanisms too...train station...gotten...too much American television ?

I detest awesome!!! Also Listen up and Lessons to be learnt

Elon Musk?? Why? Just the sound of the name?

For me, it's things like "my bad" and "you do the math" (Americanisms?)

Oh yuk

You is both a singular and plural word. There is no such word as youse. And definitely has no A in it. So definitely you cants say definately. I hat both these words.

The words that make me shudder most are ‘And now a statement by the prime minister’.

Lucca I thought I was the only person on the planet that finds 'all the trimmings' infuriating. Every year, without fail, there are meals reported in the local paper where people 'tuck into' (another pet hate) 'turkey and all the trimmings'.

I missed out the word bum! I don’t even like typing it!

Elon Musk - the name fills me with terror

Love that, made me laugh.

When I was very young my mother told me that belly and were very rude words. I still can’t say them!
The word palpable .

Atqui

Stunning
Toilet
Pardon ( instead of what?)

I agree. People seem to think it’s rude to say ‘what’ but it’s correct. Pardon just sounds prissy.

Shortlegs

Gobsmacked, Passed (died), Missus (as in 'my missus').

Or even worse The Missus

Elon Musk - the name fills me with terror

MissAdventure

Someone on a thread like this said that grown men saying "Oh, I must pay a visit to the little boys room" made her shudder.

I agree.

Totally agree with this. Why are grown men and women saying they are going to the little boys room or little girls room. Makes them (specially men) sound like a pervert!

Lav not law

Absolutely
Hun

Another Americanism which seems to be used a lot lately is gotten instead of got

Agree wholeheartedly with all of the above but my latest hate is yous instead of you, I could get violent when I hear it. Also haitch instead of aitch, that one is everywhere even on radio and tv.

Curated. Suddenly everything is being ‘curated’

Holibobs, hubby, Sainsbugs .

Dick instead of penis, or dick instead of detective or policeman. I used to have an Aunt Jeanette who liked to be called Aunt Dick. I used to cringe because in her innocence she did not know the other meanings of dick. Its a horrible word.

Lots the above, but currently ‘jab’ instead of ‘vaccination’ when used by Ministers and newsreaders.

These are Americanisms which I detest. Fur baby, and go potty. The latter is the worst. It means they need to use the toilet.
