Words you can't stand

[AliceInWanderLost]

Im not sure if this counts as its not a real word, but It drives me mad when people say ‘Skellington’ instead of skeleton.

even worse when they genuinely believe that "skellington" actually IS a real word and a valid variation of the word "skeleton".

What is it with americans saying "Addicting" instead of addictive?

I've just seen "this song is so addicting"

Belly

I also hate tummy.
It’s stomach or nothing.

This isn't necessarily a word but more spelling , there is certain words people commonly spell wrong
In Ireland certain accents pronounce our as "are" but they go further to spell it like that .."Are angle Tiramasu turns 2 today ".
Spelling definitely as defiantly (my man does this but he's dyslexic so I feel mean pointing it out but it genuinely bothers me )
And obviously angle for angel but that more so cracks me up now when I see it

"happy 1st birthday to such a cute little angle!" i've lost track of how many posts i read with parents describing their precious babies as "angles!"

VAR? Do you mean when people try say very in a posh voice? If so I hate that too.

Would also like to add naice, although I don't think I've seen it outside mumsnet.

Guesstimate. It sounds so stupid and you could literally use either "guess" or "estimate" on their own.

Self-care

 

[SirRoderickGossip]

Okay. I hate :

Mumma
Moist
Panties
Veggies
Belly
Mucous
Septic.

And thats only scratching the surface.

I thought 'veggies' was just me! Hate that word.

I really hate it when people refer to ‘birthing’ children. Sounds too much like describing an animal to me. ‘Give birth’ probably makes some people cringe though I suppose!

Feels like de ja vu but preparedness
No. That'll be PREPARATION.The perfectly descriptive word we used to use.

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

Fag, I find this a very weird thing Brits say. Just no
Knickers, again weirdly British
Cunt, even my ears blush
floppy, it's not
engorged, so gross
vagina/vaginal - ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
mummy, said by grownups to their mums
daddy, said by women to their partners

I'm sure I'll think of more

 

[AliceInWanderLost]

Any word is ruined for me if it ends in a T or K and is pronounced with an extra harsh emphasis on that last sound.

Also unpleasant:

Littles
Mumsie
Normalize

Even more so when a word doesn't end with a K, yet people pounce it as though it is, with huge emphasis on the last letter - somethinK, nothinK etc.
