Words I Don’t Like.

Panties
Lavatory
Pussy (for a cat or anything else)
The F word, especially in films when it is every other word

I am also fed up with everything being described as "Amazing", people on TV seem to call the most mediocre experience as "Amazing"

Pouch. I always think of something disgustingly soft, damp and squidgy

My sister had an artificial leg, and I hated it when people called it a ‘false leg’ or a ‘wooden leg’.

‘Widow’ for me ( I actually am one, too!)
Also ‘thigh’, ‘moist’ and people who start every sentence with ‘So….’

Bluebell. Yes! Hun, hubby, fur baby.

Speculum? Isn't that a French biscuit?

Hemorrhage - horrible word for a horrible experience.

Certainly agree with amazing.
Although disliked, lavatory is the U word, toilet definitely non U. and frock is U not dress. (If we care ?)

Now there is a phrase I dislike intensely.
What does "non U" even mean?

Lost, passed, passed away, passed over. Or any euphemism for dead, died or death.

Non U; words which designate people of lower social stations.
Coined by the snob Nancy Mitford.
My mother in law was scathing about toilet etc.
I could go on and on……..

Ah, thank you.
You're the first person to ever answer that.

We are having a local dispute at the moment and have involved our local Councillor - Mr Bill Moist!

Amazing. Isn't it amazing how many things / people/ events/ are amazing!

We were not allowed to say toilet either at school or at home. It had to be lavatory.

I dislike the use of the words nanny, nana etc for grandmother. A nanny is either a female goat or a nursemaid. I didn’t hear it used in my childhood, but it seems to be used a lot now.

The term ‘non-U’, meaning not upper class, was in fact coined by Professor Alan Ross in an academic paper, but was popularised by Nancy Mitford.

Granda. It's commonly used in Scotland and N.Ireland to refer ro a grandfather. In my family it was always Grandpa but I only recently realised we were unusual in using that name. I'm not keen on nana or nanny either. Prefer Granny.

Grandma70s?

I agree about widow
For reasons I still don’t understand I had to fill in my marital status for a restaurant loyalty/discount card not long after DH died .?
That was the first and last time I ticked “widowed”
Now I tick “married” if I have to opt for anything

Fart - (can i say this!) I really don't like this word.

JaneJudge i watched it too, and cringed a bit,also grease is similiar language wise
I sometimes have subtitles on and only realised what some of the actual lyrics were when i read them
Would not be allowed today
Please don't let them be banned though love those films

Interesting that moist heads the list so far. It has no unpleasant connotations for me. I like my cakes and meat to be moist and juicy.
Surprising that the word lavatory features. W.C.(water closet) and lavatory are the proper terms (as used by the Royal family for example). Common as muck people use the term toilet, or so my mother always said and we were working class. Personally I couldn't care less though I do find the American term rest room annoying.

So, Meat, and what does the S word stand for? Anyone!,

Quirky is one that grates on me, seems to be a favourite on the antique shows.
