Crimbo. Go jingle your bells somewhere else.

also "Twixmas".

i also saw the term "Crimbo limbo" being used last year, to refer to the week between Christmas and NY, and tbh that is a phrase that does NOT need to catch on.

Choccie / Chocky instead of chocolate.
always same type of person.

i don't know why, but this reminded me how much i hate when people use the word "crimbo" instead of Christmas.

same with the term "twixmas" to refer to the period between christmas and new year. just no.

[Insta$hite]

totally relate to your dislike of the word "poorly" - it sounds so infantile to hear an adult use "poorly" to describe how they are feeling!

in terms of "sick" though, it's interesting as to whether that is more about where you live. I'm in the UK, and i would be more likely to use the terms "not feeling well" or "ill" to refer to a general illness - things that other people would refer to as being "poorly" - whereas if someone is "sick", or used the phrase "i feel/i'm feeling sick" it would refer more to actual nausea/vomiting. obvs i know what "sick" means and that it can be used more generally - but i kinda feel like that us led to be more of an American term.

*this isn't me nitpicking or criticising in any way, I genuinely find it interesting that people use different words in different countries and/or regions to mean the same thing!

I totally get you...I'd also say " I'm not well" or "not feeling well"...I'm in Ireland.
Another Irish way to say it would be "I'm banjaxed" or "I'm in bits"...i also find it funny and fascinating how we all use different words for the same thing!
The word poorly just gives me the absolute ICK!!
---

I know what you mean though I tend to use sick more often. I don't know why but when I say 'ill' it sounds to me like I have some serious illness, not just a standard cold

Yep!!

 

[EllenDeGenerate]

I saw a hair product ad on tv tonight. PTSD has made me forget the brand. The voiceover distinctly said ‘smoothening’. Bloody SMOOTHENING!!!!

What is the world coming to? Tsk!!! I might combust

I know! But I hate even more, the one that claims to give your hair a 'shot of hyaluronic acid '.

 

[FakeSmile]

Moist
phlegm (feel sick even typing it)
Discharge
Mucus/snot
Yummy
Delicious (when used to describe anything othe than food)
Puss
Secreted
Whore/slut/hag

As you can see there is a bit of a theme here with some. I could never work in the medical field!

Ah yes discharge must be one of my worst

 

[Sketchy]

[jistwanmairhing]

Quim. Accompany that with the word quivering and I feel like I’m gonna dry heave.

 

[mags]

When people say “nom nom”

Yes!

And that reminds me....I'm adding "nosh" to my ever-growing list.

 

[bunnyboo]

Irish slang I hate:
(me) moth - Dublin slang for GF, pronounced "me maww-t"
Savage - Amazing, great ect
Ride/riding - sex
Shift/getting the shift - kissing
Moldy - Pronounced "m-owl-dy", means sloppy/messy drunk

Also I hate things that sound overly British like poorly (as in "my son is feeling a bit poorly"), cheeky nandos, picky bits, mum/mummy
