Words I Don’t Like.

Ditto to ‘nom’!

And ‘amazing’ - so overused. It’d be amazing if aliens had landed in my garden overnight but alas all I have is five monster Triffids, aka tomato plants whose side shoots I neglected to pinch out lately, since every time I thought of it the rain was coming down in tropical sheets.

Nom Nom for food.

Pinch of nom

It's just cringeworthy!

Word “Bap “ sends my teeth on edge

Enchantress

I agree, "With child" is so much more poetic and discriptive.

Seriously??!!

On the lines of ‘should of’, I don’t like ‘them ones’ instead of ‘those ones’. Are these things not corrected at school?

Its the shortening of words that irritate me, fab instead of fabulous, natch instead of naturally, and don't get me started on the word lush.

Also, 'should/would/could of' when it should be 'should/would/could have.'

Any Swear word

The above was in response to another poster mentioning the word pregnant as an annoying word.

I agree, "With child" is so much more poetic and discriptive.

For some unknown reason I don't like saying the word "breast" even though I am the owner of two of them. I worked with a lady who had the same inhibition. She came up with the substitute expression "chimney chest".

Awesome - irritates the hell out of me !

Best practice.

Infuriated me when actresses are referred to as actors.

I don't mind any words said or written in full. What I can't stand are euphenisms : f-word, s-word, n-word c-word etc - If you want to use a rude word, then use it but don't replace it with

Mom - in fact all Amerianisms. They make a mockery of our perfectly good English language
People from the Midlands say Mom

Button - can't stand that word
And lots of other words on here eg panties, phlegm,

gob as in spitting or gobby
pox

Cool as in, it’s great, lovely idea,, I love it. its nice.

Hun.
My dislike of this word as a form of address is probably unhinged.

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

Exactly. Almost all young people are unable to complete a sentence without using a superfluous 'like' every few words.

Hardly “new trend”. Students were doing it well before I retired so I’m talking more than ten years ago.

Diarrhea. A difficult word to spell and as a word it sums up a horrible word picture.

Diarrhoea.

To remember how to spell it-

Dash In And Rush, Run Hard, Or Expect Accident.
