Besides the Aussies (I guess you get a pass  ), where do y'all live that you're hearing all this baby talk? I can honestly say I've never heard anyone say presh or sammies in Connecticut.

Words that aren't words like Delish, Presh, Sammie, etc. I know a lot of people who hate the word moist. I had a friend in college who said cake was damp instead of moist because she couldn't stand that word. So weird. That's just... Ewwwww

I had a friend in college who said cake was damp instead of moist because she couldn't stand that word. So weird. I really never understood why so many people don't like the word "moist." In this case, moist is so much better than damp! If someone were to describe a type of food as damp, I'd think it was mushy. I would not want to eat a "damp cake" but would love a "moist double chocolate cake!" And now I want cake. And I'm on a diet.

I can't stand it when people use "littles" when referring to children. Fortunately I don't know anyone in real life that says it but I see it used here frequently and it makes me avoid those users. Yes I know it's irrational but, you asked!

I hate them all that were stated here. Lol Booty, binkie, selfie, baby-daddy, sketchy, hobo, slut, muffin top, whore, poop..
Sorry some are two words but the way baby daddy is used it sounds like one word.

The only word I can't stand to hear is the "c" word.
Don't think I've even said the word. I have no idea where this complete disgust of the word came from. I grew up in a no swearing household so it's not that I even heard the word.

Can someone explain the dislike of the word tasty?
It's an old word, first used in 1610.

Cutesy/shortened words are irritating (kiddos, mani etc) other than that I can't think of many except the phrase "That wouldn't fly in my house"

I totally agree with all of you about the damp vs. Moist thing. It was really weird. Damp is the last word I personally would use to describe cake.

I didn't even want to open this thread because I knew I'd have to read all the cutesy little diminutives of actual words that women think are ever so cute, but make me (literally) want to kick them in the face. Honestly and truly, kick a person in their mouth. That is how much I hate pressies and sammies and kiddos and all that other BS. If you are old enough to make a sandwich, you can call it a sandwich. Same with a child. or buying a present.

nom nom for food... or however it goes. I pretty much agree with every word on here so I guess I have more of an issue than I thought.

The shortened words are just laziness on the part of the person speaking. Although they do not bug me when I hear them, I do not use them myself.
Pu$$y - absolutely hate this word.

The C word and the F word don't happen in our house. They don't irritate me, they disgust me.
I'm interested in the dislike of Sketchy though. What is wrong with that? And I think Poop is funny, because in the UK we say Poo not Poop. Poop is a delightfully silly word to my ears. Hehee!

And we do use the word Pu$$y, but only to describe cats. That isn't the slightest bit offensive where I come from. Pussy-cat is child-speak for cat, I think in the same way that you use Kitty, which we don't use.

Probably even more than the C word. I was having a conversation with this woman who suspects her boyfriend's son is gay. She was complaining that he was crying in response to an emotional outburst she had. I asked her what's wrong with a boy crying? She got pissed off and said he was a p*$$y. At that point the conversation was over with her. I'm seriously looking forward to the day she's crying over her boyfriend breaking up with her.

Another one who hates the word panties. I don't know why, but it's very bothersome to me.

Oh I forgot panties. I realise its very much an everyday word for most of you and its not unheard of at all here either but panties has a cringe factor for me.....like a dirty old man would call them panties....ugh. I call them pants (because trousers are pants  ) or knickers.

not a word but two phrases..
Pop of color is the most annoying, irritating overused phrase
that, and lately it's been "at the end of the day'. It's the new over used phrase and I'm sick of hearing it as well

"Not my circus, not my monkeys." And any variation of that phrase. It is like nails on a chalkboard. Moist. Squirt. Panties.
And then specific to my ex-boyfriend's mom "make a long story short." She always said this and her stories were never short. She would honestly say that phrase 6 times while trying to tell me some crazy drama she had in her life that day.

My pet peeve is the "c" word. It is never appropriate in any circumstance. Yuck! The other is people cussing anywhere and everywhere. I was just shopping in the home department at Macy's and 2 guy employees in the luggage department were having a personal conversation. Every other word was f**k and s**t. Seriously, learn how to behave in public, children!

Puke I don't know how it became an accepted word. I can't tell how many times I've had a student say to me "I don't feel good," and I reply, "Are you going to throw up?", and they say, "No, but I'm going to puke!"
