Words that make you snigger or cringe

Post-consultation for haemorrhoids I can't bear to hear the word 'seepage' eugh, shiver.
'Sneakers makes me cross as does sloth being pronounced such that it rhymes with cloth... in fact I think I'm guilty of getting riled by most Americanisms.
My neighbour always used to call me 'Tuppence'... which was what we used for number twos in my family. I use neither of these terms myself now but sh*t seemed a little uncouth for here ha!

"We're pregnant" falls into my cringe category.

Hubsters who make people fall for a baby!

We have another thread on the go about correct terminology for anatomical body parts, and how we all need to speak openly about these things.
Interesting...

Not words, but adverts that make me cringe - the woman sat on the toilet, demonstrating how pads can keep you dry with vase full of water, and another with young girl tossing and turning in bed ,then dancing about while wearing period pads Its the showing of a pad with red (presumably representing blood) that makes me cringe !
Perhaps I am getting old and not so open-minded !

I knowwwww! Yukkity yuk! And " they" always try and justify these awful things by saying " it's natural" ....well so's taking a dump! So they may as well show that in all its glory too ya?!

I hate the c word. I don't mind any other swear words as long as they're not aimed directly at me. I don't like being sworn at.

I also hate titties and boobies.

Around here some houses have a back passage. That always makes me snigger esp when it's part of a sentence (usually said by an oldish lady) ..."And he was coming so fast up my back passage" or "He was sneaking up my back passage"

Swill makes me cringe.

I'm not going to have a shower, I'm just going to swill my oxters and lisk. URGH!!!

You might have to swill your oxters and lisk after you've swilled your steps. The first time I went to a city in the East Riding they swilled their wet Fish shop out over mine and the family's feet! We certainly cringed and had to have a swill in the shower.[Smile]

Sorry got carried away with moist

Snot, moist, furbabies, moist, bogie, hubby, grandma, pee, gawdsake, panties,doggy, pussy, loads more I could go on forever

So, going forward thank you for reaching out to share...

Have you noticed that Pepa Pig's daddy is a scrotum?

{shock}

Baulk.....makes me think of vomiting for some reason. I'm a Nan.....all my sisters, aunties etc were Nan. I thought it was a Southern think till I moved up North.

Lucca if squadron is a pleasant word for you, and I do agree, how about flotilla which I love and armada which naturally leads to armadillo, which somehow always comes out as armadildo have to be very careful with 2 1/2 year old grandson who has a book with that South American creature in !

I can’t help laughing at Shapeshifter and Kibble and I have no idea why. My kids can always make me laugh by whispering one or the other!

I get the school girl giggles at words like moist, fanny, Rosie, minge, bush, flaccid and pencil dick.

I really cringe at c**t, fu*k when it’s overused, especially by some comedians and worst of all bu*g*r , I really wish people using this word would think about what it actually means,

These are just a few

I lost my bottle
Mingeing
A shonk (Liverpudlian for an untrustworthy person)
Suck it up
Put your big girl/boy pants on
Do one (go away)
Talk to the hand (go away)

Would like to

LondonMzFitz. I was going to add kids and grandkids but I thought I was going too far. I would to put another on my list gobsmack .

Nibbly bits... that's smirkworthy.

I'm going for wizz ( instead of toilet)
Panties
Trunks( as in swimming)
Hun drives me nuts
Moist ?

Nibbles is a giggler for me. My very ladylike ex-MIL used to put out "nibbly bits" at Christmas and various functions; she'd exclaim that so-and-so's party had lots of nibbly bits and I'd have to stifle a snigger.

Gussett is one that gets the boys in the office sniggering. Envelopes with a gussett is often required for posting large drawings and it's guaranteed there'll be a snigger when requested.

As others, hubby, fur babies, holibobs. I dislike any TV news/radio report commenting on "kids" rather than children, feels like lazy journalism.

And I apologise to all that use the term but whenever someone tells me they've lost their husband/wife my brain immediately wants to ask where they've left them. It's horribly insensitive, I know, but it just feels like an act of carelessness rather than a life changing / devastating event. I bite my tongue firmly though.

Having just heard the Rooney/Vardy verdict I would imagine Peter Andre now cringes every time he hears the word, Chipolata! ?

Oh dear, I seem to have missed that…..deep sorrow.
