Words I Don’t Like.

Grannybags

Phlegm
Mucus
Hubby
Slacks (trousers)

I also dislike passed instead of died. And lost

What rather wonderful collection of hopefully unconnected words..

Nipple

Just typing it makes me cringe

Word used here a lot referring to someone as 'Lad'
Beginning a sentence with 'So'
The word Odious
All so annoying!

Zoejory

Nipple

Just typing it makes me cringe

And me!! ?‍♀️

Loathe “hubby”
LOL. When used by gransnetters…..always for something not LOl at all.

Hun……made even worse when precede by “aw…”

I hate being called madam, I do not run a brothel.

I do not like being called hen or luv and especially darling if it is not somebody close to me. I am not their darling.

I agree Marydoll- I do not understand why the word "died" cannot be used because if somebody has passed- passed where?

I am reminded of the book 84 Charing Cross Road.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/84,_Charing_Cross_Road

In their first letter to Miss Hanff the bookshop began the letter with Dear Madam

Miss Hanff replied with something like "Does Madam mean the same over there as it does over here?"

The second letter from the bookseller began

Dear Miss Hanff

but did not refer to her comment.

However, have you perhaps applied the Fallacy of the Undistributed Middle regarding the meaning of the word 'Madam'?

"Do those who dislike 'passed' feel that 'passed away' is the same, or is that more acceptable?" Sorry, ElderlyPerson, I feel that's just the same. What's wrong with simply saying that a dead person has died?

ElderlyPerson
I'm not the slightest bit offended by whichever term people want to use about my late daughter.
Sometimes I can't bear to say she is dead, myself.
As long as it's said kindly, then it matters not a jot to me.

I also say I lost her, because that's how it feels to me.

MissAdventure

I also say I lost her, because that's how it feels to me.

"Do those who dislike 'passed' feel that 'passed away' is the same, or is that more acceptable?" Sorry, ElderlyPerson, I feel that's just the same. What's wrong with simply saying that a dead person has died?

Since you asked, to me it seems horrible to say either of those words. I don't like to say them. Passed away sounds better. I know it means the same. But ... just but.

Snog. Kissing should be gentle and romantic. Thee can be nothing romantic about a snog.

And 'cute'. Especially on Facebook.

Oh I don’t know- if you saw that clip of Matt Hancock and Gina Coladangelo they were definitely snogging

Furbaby makes me cringe.
My bad - two words
Simples

Sh*t, used for so many things, my sh*t, your sh*t etc.
Truly disgusting.
Also motherfucker shocks me, both originating in America I think.
Ugh is now being used as a word of praise as well as the word sick!
.

Oh yes, Simples!

also ‘Why Oh Why?’

and when people put ‘NOT’ at the end of a sentence- as in ‘that was kind of him - NOT’

Lavatory makes me cringe.

Hun, sweetie, amazeballs. Agree with pantie, sounds kind of sickly American. Genitals similar, something about that word seems unpleasant. Fart isn’t too good,either ,not to mention the horrible c word. Furbaby I wouldn’t use, but it doesn’t bother me . It conjures up desperate young women with child substitutes which is very unfair because I love our wild feisty pussy cat with a passion so I guess I can empathise.

I hate the word tits or, even worse, titties! Aaaaagh!! I can’t even speak those words! I also hate belly, panties (creepy!), grand babies (what’s wrong with the word grandchildren?!). Maybe it’s because Vanessa Feltz says grand babies and I can’t be doing with her!

This subject is aired from time to time on here and the same words crop up each time. Moist,panties, 'C' word etc. They seem to be universally unpopular.
I dislike belly, sputum and any baby talk like moo moo.

I'm another who hates 'belly'. Always sounds crude. What's wrong with 'tummy' for children and 'abdomen' if you want to be more technical?

'Passed', especially, and 'passed away'. Silly euphemisms. People die.

Oh, yes - panties - so prissy and twee.

One I really don’t like is ‘pamper/pampering’, maybe because it’s so often used in the context of spa days, massages, and other ‘treats’ I’d run a mile from.

‘Belly’ is one I loathe, except in belly-dancing, when it’s somehow OK. And in ‘beer belly’ where the loathsome word is just right for the loathsome object.

Agree with Redhead56 about starting a sentence with 'so' and I also find the sentence starter 'Yeah, no' irritating

i think moist is an uncomfortable word too. plus I don't like lavatory

the new trend of "LIKE" throughout a sentence when interviewed
