Tummy. Anyone over four saying “tummy” gives me the ick. Yes!! Why did people suddenly start saying that instead of stomach or abdomen? Tummy is what you call it when speaking to a 3 year old! |

gifted - when did that become a verb? According to Merriam-Webster: “Yes, Gift is a Verb First things first: there are some among you who are asking, "Is the verb gift even a word?" It's a good question, and we have a good answer for you, which is, sorry, YES. Gift has been used to mean "to present someone with a gift" for 400 years.” It became popular again due to a Seinfeld episode. www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/gift-as-a-verb |

I feel the same way about the word "mommy". No adult should be using this word to describe themselves if they aren't talking to a toddler. It's not cute. |

In the UK it tends to be more common among the upper classes or those who would like to be considered as such 😊 |

https://www.tiktok.com/@laugh2224/video/7181637290500853038 Lover - specifically when the word is used to discus one's romantic partner, it gives me the ick. I don't even want my dh saying it to me. Agreed! Remember this from SNL, "The Luv-ahs"? https://www.tiktok.com/@laugh2224/video/7181637290500853038 |

Moist has never bothered me.
I can take or leave panties. Not a fave of mine.
10000% hate the word piss. Please just say pee. I always tell my youngest daughter the word piss is "so un-ladylike!"
In the same vein, poop. My husband will sometimes say "The dog pooped". No, just say he shit. We are grown adults here. lol
I don't like when things are pronounced wrong or just make no sense. I have a friend who has a good job and is otherwise intelligent and she is always using "legitly" in a sentence and I want to scream that's not a word! But alas, I do not.

I saw the title and thought I didn't have any words to contribute and now that I am reading the responses, I have a very long list. Just about every word mentioned by someone else gave me the response of: "Yes, I hate that word as well."  |

One that has started to be used quite often in my work world is 'ask' instead of 'request' "The 'ask' from the client is xxx" rather than "the request from the client is xxx"
Ask is a verb
Request is a noun

Panties. OMG I hate that word so much. Please, Americans, stop saying panties!! If Australians ever start using that word I am going to have to move to a non-English speaking country where that word doesn't exist. As an aside: When my daughter was in creche, the carers were told they had to stop saying the word 'knickers' because one parent complained. They were only allowed to say undies or underwear. I also despise when adults say "I have to go potty." Ugh. Thankfully I don't hear it here IRL, but I have read it here plenty of times. Tummy. Anyone over four saying “tummy” gives me the ick. Yes!! Why did people suddenly start saying that instead of stomach or abdomen? Tummy is what you call it when speaking to a 3 year old! Ha! I use 'tummy' all the time.  Most people here do. Either that, or belly. As in "I have a pain in my belly," or "I have a dodgy tummy." |

All of the Irish people I know call their parents 'mam' or 'mammy', and 'daddy'. Doesn't matter if they're 4yo or 40yo! And said in an Irish accent, it's cute af. |

In an effort to not repeat ones already listed, I’ll add a few new ones.
- littles
- fart (just a personal thing - I hate that word)
- nom or nommy or any other version of it

I use pants for men's undies and knickers or pants for women's. |

They were only allowed to say undies or underwear. but...what's wrong with knickers? I have no idea. I asked one of the carers to tell me which parent it was, so that I could deliberately say "knickers" in front of him/her but she wouldn't tell me who it was! Knickers always makes me think of "Are You Being Served?"  |

LOL, my middle schooler still calls me Mama. It’s just what we do. When she was little it was nice because when we’d be at the playground with a million kids yelling, “Mommy!” or “MOM!” I knew it wasn’t my kid! |
