Words That Make You Go

[lankeela]

grrrrr - some words just set my teeth on edge - one is 'tech' for things like computers and phones. Another is 'product' for stuff you put on your hair or body. I've always also hated the word 'uni' for university - I'm sure it was never used in my day or maybe I just didn't mix with anyone who went!

[naomi24]

I cringe at the word ‘product’ - and 'uni' too - and I dislike the manufactured ‘y’ words - hubby, lippy, leccy, biccy….anything like that grates. Oh, and 'hun' and 'babe'.

[Arksided]

Fortunately I don't know 'Smarmy' people but a word I have a real distaste to.

[pixie374]

Those are Americanisms, I think, lankeela.
Also, moist, panties (American), tender, virtue signalling... for a start.

Innit, brill, uni, prez, poota, Lappie, know what I mean?
Later, for goodbye.

[Spicerack]

I don't really care how people speak. I never let them speak to me long enough to annoy me. Unless it's a nice looking girl.

[sanmac]

"I was sat in the kitchen eating my brekkie.", instead of "I was ensconced in the conservatory savoring my morning repast."

[The Builder]

"Inappropriate" ........ Spineless little word

Usually used when people are too afraid to say something is just plain wrong ;o)

Oh yes :-). Supper, butty, tea (as in a meal)...
