Words I Don’t Like.

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

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

Secondwind

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

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"

I dislike this fairly new trend of using initials instead of writing the words that offend.

I would naturally not use a word that I find offensive, but would try to find an inoffensive one or an expression I can live with.

We all know that vegans and vegetarians do not eat meat. If they dislike even thinking or writing the word, what is wrong with substituting animal products instead?

That way we would avoid a certain amount of confusion.

Vegans do not eat or use animal products.

Vegetarians eat some things stolen from the animals, such as the milk that the mother animals generate to feed their babies.

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

MawBe

“Moist” makes me shudder.
And, entirely unconnectedly “panties” ?‍??‍??‍??‍?

But it's the most important quality of cake!

Underpants are for boys, though.

They are definately NOT knickers to any self-respecting girl!

I was taught as a child that knickers was as vulgar a word as lavatory. We went to the toilet, where we pulled down our underpants!

I think all likes and dislikes of words probably date back to what we were allowed to say as young children.

My mother would have had a fit if we had said bum or belly - they were repectively your bottom and your tummy when speaking to her.

I hate panties too, sounds creepy
Another one for moist
Swimming 'trunks,'
Catarrh or phlegm
My friend uses Hun all the time and it bugs me. I can't remember the last time she called me by my Christian name.

I dislike overuse of the word "sadly". In news reports it seems almost obligatory to use it before the word "died". "Many Covid patients have sadly died". I might speak sadly of someone's death but they didn't sadly die or sadly pass away.

Bear with, does it really take a lot to add "me" to make a complete sentence

I hate twee words like 'furbaby', hubby, hubster

Kiddies, titties, panties

When I bake a cake, my adult children take a bite, make a groaning noise and say 'oh it is so moist', just to see my reaction.

Toilet, crotch, pamper

Off to scratch my teeth.

The F word should be reserved for special occasions.
Something like this said by Evelyn Waugh.

I can't explain why but I don't like colourways!

I hate being addresses as " Hun" or "Babe" it's just to familiar when most of these people don't even know me. There's not many other words I don't like other than the over used swearing. I'm not a prude and I will use the F word on occasion but when it's every other word in general conversation when someone is speaking to me I definitely don't like it.

‘Reach out to’ instead of contact.

EMPOWERED! Blinking everywhere.
Thank you Meghan, we never knew.

S is shit
M is meat
Slightly childish but there you go ?

Hate the word titties

Like all widows, I’ve had to tell many people in the last eight months that DH had died. Never have I used passed, or passed away. I appreciate that some people probably feel that it’s a more gentle term, but it doesn’t make me feel any better. I’m possibly somewhat pedantic.

Bum and belly. When I was very little my mum told me they were very rude words and I’ve never been comfortable saying them!
Palpable. It is such an overused word!

I dislike the word pop when followed by 'of colour' because it's so overused. I also dislike the word eclectic for the same reason.
