Words that make you snigger or cringe

Yammy, yes I know all about Miners. My dad insisted we all use carbolic soap cut with the cheese wire from a long block, with dettol in our weekly bath. oxters and lisks were squeaky clean after that! As I grew older, my Mum and I shared a bar of pears soap and left the carbolic to the boys.

I used to enjoy being taken up the Trussocks on the way to the exes house. Snigger....

MissAdventure, I guess lots of folk have been taken up the Trussochs.

trick is to avoid the midges

Yes, but in a bus?

My mother refused to be called granny and insisted on grandma. I chose to be granny because I thought it sounded younger and liable to be a bit naughty. Grandma always sounds rather elderly and severe.

The one tht is really annoying me at the moment is BabyDaddy. Often used if the couple aren't married. What is so difficult about calling him the baby's father?

Ooh I spelt Trussochs wrong.

MissAdventure

Yes, but in a bus?

Well, that would offer some protection from the midges, but most others would have been walking.

Can't bear any of those; they all make me shudder. But just hearing the name Fanny has me sniggering like a 5 year old school boy!

My Great-Great Grandmother was called Fanny on all documents except her birth and weddings certificates where her name was revealed as the more posh Frances.

Belly
Panties
Moist
Fur baby (just ridiculous!)
Grandbaby
Grandkids
Hubby

I may remember others
Oh dear, I sound very impatient!

Panties and tinkle are my most cringeworthy.

Go to the little girls room, then.

Thanks!

I've just logged on and you've set me off again. snortle

next time any of us on this thread is playing scrabble we should try to use as many of our words here as possible. maybe a game could be exclusively for the use of words that make you snigger or cringe. bet no one would get to the end of their letters - think we would all have died laughing or cringing or both well before that !

Nan for grandmother was mentioned above. I am Nan. With apologies to all the grannies, Granny makes me cringe. I think of a 100 year old woman, hair in a bun, glasses perched on the end of her nose, wearing a shawl and knitting.

I’m with you Kate1949 I’m a Nan or Nanna. Granny or Grandma makes me think of Little Red Riding Hood.
By the way you forgot the false teeth in the glass by the side of the bed ?

I’m in Durham. Not heard lisk or oxter used for ages, but I know what and where they are.

MissAdventure

Ooh I spelt Trussochs wrong.

Me too it's the Trossachs lol

Belly and panties.

I’m Granny. To me, Grandma sounds even older - and fat!

The word I cannot stand is the one starting with H that means heavy bleeding. The aversion goes back to when I miscarried and my nosey maiden Aunt appeared the following morning and asked me 'Are you still H******ing. Yuk, yuk, yuck.

Topping !
Why ?
I hate the word .
Ditto for afters and lounge !

There are many very beautiful words though !

Pus, knickers, crotch. They're all yucky words - don't much like the word "yucky" either.

(All the ) trimmings. Hate that

Hollibobs
?

All of the above plus fur babies, rainbow bridge, iconic, lovely as a form of address, hun, cutch,
That’ll do for now.

Turning OP,on its head, how about words one likes ?

I love “squadron “. Very sexy. (Squadron leader even better)

My old uncle is a retired Squadron Leader.
