Words that make you shudder

Oh yuk

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

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

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

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

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.

The word meal.Not sure why

‘My bad’ which apparently means my fault!

A-Sap used as a word rather than the initials.
Toilet - but worse than that is the word "bathroom" when referring to the lavatory.
The word fruits makes my toes curl - the plural of fruit is fruit!,

Hun and passed

"Trust me" if they need to say it you definitely shouldn't trust them.
Fur babies, toe curling.

Invites instead if invitations: to invite is a verb, invitations the noun. Have been known to correct speakers on television..

I/he/she 'turned around and said' ........my brother says it all the time. ?

Haitch yes!!! I hate it too. You don’t call Y a Yiy so why Aitch Haitch.

The ‘F’ word, no matter what the context.

Oh yes and fur baby? and potty (for dogs)

And “reaching out” instead of contacting or phoning - particularly when used by businesses

I think all my pet hates have been done over in this thread except rest room - a euphemism for lavatory that doesn't seem to have crossed the Atlantic yet. When I first found one in Macy's I expected to find comfy furniture where I could put my feet up. What a let-down! Another one, in a US window display of intimate garments - ie bras and knickers.

‘A big ask’ - why not request?

Another pet hate is toe or toes. No idea why, just makes me cringe

Fur baby, hun, rainbow bridge, the wife

‘Bigging up’ and ‘of’ instead of ‘have’.

The word to describe the noise that comes out of your bum, it starts with F. I can’t bear it, never said in our house. My friends know how I hate it.

"Packed with" as in the vitamin content of a food. I always visually little workers busily shoving in the Vit A, B etc.
But I quite like yummy, even though I"m a grown up.

MarshmEllows.
I am sat here.
I am stood here.
I shouldn't of.
The proof is in the pudding.

Grannybags

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

I hate it too Grannybags, although apparently its is legitimately English and was used at the time of the Mayflower. Until recently it was obsolete everywhere but the USA and Canada.

My other cringe words include:
Hubby, hubs etc
Fur babies
Panties and panty hose
Trouser (as a verb)
Ballup, a northern slang word for a man's fly, sometimes used as a term of endearment ?; I can hardly even write it.

Afters/sweet
Pass away/on etc. A friend was once castigated for using "died" in a formal report instead of "passed away" or some other euphemism.
Hun
Gift/gifting
Snacking as an activity
Toilet, WC, lady's room, Little boys room, spend a penny, powder my nose etc.
Twee stuff
Cis - We don't need to be given a new prefix as a reminder that we are not trans. It's not inclusive it's offensive.

Most of other people's lists tbh apart from swearing. Like Shakespeare's depiction of Hotspur, I see no reason why women shouldn't swear properly and like a good swear now and again; I do draw the line at c**t being used in a derogatory manner by men.

Finally "lady" used instead of "woman". As a feminist child of the 60s & 70s it sets my teeth on edge.

Yea Gods! I'm becoming a grumpy old woman ??
