Words I Don’t Like.

My grans both had outside loo with newspaper on string charming!

Toilet and toileting.
I hear these a lot at work.
"I'm just going to toilet Mrs. Whoever".
Repulsive.

I hate Douche-bag. A horrible Americanism that my ex dil used too often to refer to someone she considered stupid.
Also, the word eatery seems to have crept into the English language. It makes my toes curl.
I also hate the word fruits. The pleural of fruit is fruit. Why people have started adding an S is beyond me.

Widow - has to be the saddest word in the world.

spottybook

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.

The F word
The C word (not Christmas)
Sh-t
Fa-t
Arse hole, though I can tolerate arse on its own
Hun
Babe
Belly
Spinster
Sprog
Fanny and Pussy when referring to the female anatomy
Mom - in fact all Amerianisms. They make a mockery of our perfectly good English language
I could go on and on........

Ain’t

Chronic
Focus group
Fur-baby

kjmpde

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.

Please don’t.

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

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

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

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

Infuriated me when actresses are referred to as actors.

Best practice.

Awesome - irritates the hell out of me !

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".

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

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

Any Swear word

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.'

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

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

Seriously??!!
