See, I prefer panties over undies. But mostly they are just underwear.  Panties has a slightly pervy sound to me…ugh. |

I NEVER call them that in the day to day like, oh let me put on some panties now. lol That would be underwear. In the off-chance I use the word panties, it would be in a sexual type of conversation with my husband. Ok, I am tired of this word personally. That's all I am gonna say about it.  |

Another one who dislikes panties and moist. I also dislike shortening words like preggers. Likewise for hubby and, the worst of all, prolly. HATE prolly.

I listen to audiobooks and many of the narrators are American, I find it's not the words themselves that bug me, but how they pronounce some of them. (As already mentioned above), especially when they mangle the middle of words... "buh-on", "innerview" (interview) "kidden" (kitten) but the one I really hate is "grow-SH-ries" there's no SH in the middle of groceries!I also hate reading spenny/spendy/exxy for expensive. Australians are well known to shorten almost any word, and so I'm fairly immune to it when other people speak - but I don't do it myself. The only word I do this to is "Aussie" because it's shorter to type out, but for anyone saying it, the Ss need to be pronounced as Zs.."Ozzies" Which I realise based on my other complaints makes no logical sense! There are really no words in their original state I can think of that bother me, I'm fine with all the usual suspects such as moist and panties etc. I work with two kindergarten groups. One of my boys just started talking. He always says, "A morning" for good morning. One quick lesson on using the word good with a visual and he immediately stopped. Amazing what you can do when you stop and teach a quick lesson. All of my kinder kids will say thirdy (30) and fordy (40) and I was not having it. Now they pronounce it so clearly it is a bit comical. I try not to be obnoxious about the things they mispronounce, but I think it is important to correct them when they are young so they don't develop poor speaking habits. |

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 can't stand littles, but fart is a favorite. When my kids were little, we did say pass gas so they could appear in public. My husband was never allowed to say fart. Surprised we actually married. They said slider. To me that is worse since it evokes a bit more imagery.  I love moist. Best use of a diphthong ever. |
