Words I Don’t Like.

Notsooldat75

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

What I think is very wrong is how some official forms try to force widows and widowers to identify as single.

Where I worked for some time the rule was hat people were listed as Single or Married, but someone who was Widowed or Divorced could opt, if the person so chose, to be listed as Widowed or Divorced. That seemed to me a sensible and humane way to do things. Even if the widowed person gets exactly the same benefit as a person who has never married it would be humane to not try to force a widow to declare herself as single if she does not want to do so.

Without hesitation the F word has to be the one I despise most. Although an action carried out by both human and animal life never the less hearing it used so much as an 'expression' makes me cringe .

I dislike the word soporific.
I thinks it's because a person I know uses it instead of 'sleepy'.
He thinks it sounds posh, but of course he's using it incorrectly.
I have to say that he 'properly gets on my nerves', another phrase I dislike intensely.

Crevice, forbid, punish,dictate,expert, influencer,glutton, hilarious, " sorry for your loss ", " let's join hands", Emma Thompson.

Pants, Hubby and for some reason, dainty!

The word I dislike the most is bitch
I can put up with most swear words especially if they are said in a funny way and not in anger but I just cant tolerate this word, even when it's used correctly to describe a female animal it makes me cringe.

Spinnaker

Detest the word masticate - makes me feel sick.

Reminds me of my dad he hated coconut Liquorice "All sorts" and always called the coconut masticated instead of desiccated. The word still makes me baulk.
I can't stand the word arsie in the last city I lived in it was used all the time and in front of your face you would be challenged and asked if you were being ar.... instead of awkward.

Everyone mentions invites now, not invitations.
I don’t like the word trash, prefer rubbish.
Boobs.

Panties, Belly, furbaby, the list could go on all day

Yesterday evening what's wrong with last night?

We weren’t allowed to say ‘toilet’ either. But I hated ‘lavatory’ and still do. Connotations of freezing cold loos with hard Bronco paper - who else remembers that? IIRC Izal was another, and just as nasty.

Awesome fart and people that constantly say “you know” during their sentences.

Jab, instead of vaccination

‘Grease Nipple’. This was a phrase I had to type regularly on parts lists at work.
It made my nipples ache just typing it.

Holibobs instead of holiday!

pensioner when used to describe an elderly person.

MawBe. ?

If a person is described as “sweet” I immediately hate them?
My mother’s hated word was bastard.

There are only two words that spring to mind for me and they're both swear words. I don't even like to write them but I can get pretty close by giving you the alternatives used in my family....

C u next Tuesday
Twit (with a vowel change)

My adult sons both use these words but not in my presence and change to the above alternatives because they know I object to those words.

Hubby, kiddie, doggie...

Bum, belly. Just NO...

An Americanism (I think) that I can’t stand is Normalcy. What was wrong with normality?

Quaver22

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!

Just seen that you've said the same Quaver 2!

The C word is always offensive as is poof, queer etc., obviously. I also dislike Americanisms like butt, vacation, apartment, etc., My sister always pronounces cinema as Kinema and margarine with a hard g . Sets my teeth on edge. Genre is very over used too. I’ve heard it used to describe TYPES of bread !

Anyone using the F word. Shop assistants saying ‘Have a nice day’. Any Americanisms.

Really dislike the following - fart, belly, bum and kids. Unfortunately in my previous job I had to visit nurseries on a daily basis and heard staff use these words all the time. Also the expression "go potty" when referring to a small child going to use a potty.
