Words that annoy me for no particular reason.

Th

Quinoa.
Can't bear the word because it makes me think of poo in a lunchbox. Thanks a bunch, Gillian McKeith.

On the contrary, quinoa is a great word! I mispronounce it (quin oh ah) and see who corrects me, and then take great delight mispronouncing it ever after. Childish I know.

"Literally", DO they know what it means? Don't say, "I literally just......" You either did or didn't!!!

Brexit, what a stupid annoying word/thing that is.

Please, it is properly called a lavatory ( or the sh*tter).

Loo: middle class people, carpeted floor, cover over the tissue, muffled flush.
Lavatory: usually public or in a work place, tiled floor, giant roll in a holder that hides the end, contacless flush.
Bog: lower class people, floor that makes you wish you could hover, “fodder” all over the floor, flush a knotted string-careful you don’t pull the cistern down when you pull it.
Sh*tter: cabin in a wood.

Supper. Especially when it’s pronounced ‘sappah’.

Everyone knows it’s ‘me tea’.

Moving forward and so going forward
My old boss used it all the time it was a signal for me to switch off. Every bloody meeting she trotted it out and every time I just wanted to scream.

Khazi: as above but you end up with traces of sand where you really don't want them.

Chick


Guys is now a 'non gender' word. There i was up the local park the other week with a bunch of 70 years plus types,when a when a PCSO came up and said "Hi Guys"! One oldie said when he'd moved on "Guys,what the f..k is a guy"?!


Chick is so 1970's and totally naff! A friend of mine refers to women he finds attractive as 'chicks' and even worse,calls them chicks to their face!😒

Queer.

Grinds my teeth that one does. A dumb American term. Hate it, hate it, hate it!
