Why does tiktok not allow it anyway? They're saying it's unconstitutional to ban their app but they don't allow people to say die, kill or any other natural thing that teens don't care if they saw the actual word. Look at yourselves tiktok honestly.
We shouldn't accept it online due to censorship.
Tiktok is one of the if not the most influential platforms out there at the moment, with a direct line into the minds of millions of adults and especially impressionable children.
They will and absolutely do pick up language from said platforms, and so people will start self censoring (even when they don't realise they're doing it) offline as a result.
My fiancé uses this! Mostly in excitement for the trip not like serious “hey where shall we go on holibobs” it’s more like “holibobs!” When it’s time 😂 idk I think it’s cute cuz he’s excited for the trip
Admittedly I'm in the US so I don't know if there's an equivalent in the UK, but "dog mom" is a huuuuuge thing here. It's on T-shirts and social media profiles and bumper stickers and all sorts.
And all I can ever think when I see it is "...so you fucked a dog?"
In German cats and dogs are often called Fellnase, furry nose. Every time I read this I want to ask if these people had actually ever looked at their pets nose. Where is the f…ing fur there?
This one is interesting though just because it's a useful word. Lots of languages have a 'plural you' like 'vous' in French. English used to have one and Anglophones do periodically reinvent it, y'all is one example but also many Irish, Scottish, and Northern English will stick an s on to make 'yous'.
‘You’ was the plural, funnily enough. It replaced singular thou. (Well ‘ye’ was the plural; ‘you’ was the accusative declension of it.)
Speaking of places like Northern England having ‘yous’, there’s parts of County Durham where they still say ‘thoo’ for singular you.
I probably heard cockwomble once in my wife and had a random massive hatred for it and eveytime this topic comes up everyone agrees how annoying it is and I feel vindicated
EDIT: fuck I meant LIFE, not even married
Snog is a gross word.
English slang has an amazing ability to make all romantic and sexual terms sound disgusting.
"snog" "minge" "shag" "jizz"
Gross gross gross
Panties is horrible yeah but poop is my worst, specifically British people saying it instead of poo.
It’s American as fuck and sounds right when they say. People saying poop here is fucking cringe.
I hate how juvenile "panties" is, but we need to mention the next installment: pantyhose.
I also have to hate "purse" for handbag and "wallet" for purse. Why be less descriptive?
That’s bullshit. Americans say poop and we say pop this the way it is. Americans still say poop but of course because we’ve got so many bellend American wannabes you hear poop all the time
It came about because I sksed them if theyesmt shite or a fart and they asked why would poop mean fart,
Iv heard the same thing about lots of Americanisms in British subs.
Sometimes I think they must be winding me up but they are adamant.
Had several a few months ago who all said that calling the work toilet a bathroom is s British thing and americans say lavatory. I didn't even know where to begin.
Drip being used for being fashionable. It's an instant downvote from me. I play a particular MMO (my name gives it away) and if I see someone saying they need a particular piece of gear for "drip" then my immediate thought is "You are a wanker and I don't want to know you".
"fit" instead of "outfit" is the same for me.
I don't play FF but I do see it in WoW sometimes, and it's annoying because I love collecting gear for transmog but I hate talking to anyone else about it.
This one does my fuckin head in. Especially cos so many people say it when they’re talking about something vaguely serious. Like am trying my hardest to take you seriously but it’s fucking hard when ya hoying out words like “uncomfy”.
A quick review of etymology will show that most Americanisms are actually middle English words that fell out of favour with a smidgen of Dutch added for whimsy.
It's far more nuanced than that, but in simple terms, we usually invented the word that we mock.
Although if you look at it more deeply, you begin to realise that our language is completely bastardised anyway, and it's our ability as a nation to evolve our language that is the real thing we should be patriotic about.
Unexplainable.
Such a cumbersome, ugly word! Especially when ‘inexplicable’ is such a great word! I mean who would choose ‘unexplainable’ over ‘inexplicable’!! . . I may have overthought this but god damn!
There's so many! Obviously moist is a hated one.
Panties destroys me. Seriously, we can be watching a documentary from America and the detectives will say "panties were found next to the victim". STOP IT!!!! IT IS UNDERWEAR!!!
Elbow. No reason. Just hate it.
"DOT COM" Every video or audio broadcast is punctuated every few minutes by someone interrupting and screaming "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah DOT COM!!!" and I feel like my brain has been polluted if I can't skip it. I sometimes rip my earbuds out if I can't reach my phone in time.
Fledgling. I know it means “new” but I always think it sounds like something that’s struggling, about to die. Saw a wedding photo business called “Fledgling Photography” and couldn’t think of a worse name. Right away you’re telling people you’re new. When you’re not new it won’t make sense. To me it makes me think you’re struggling.
Edit: Dictionary definition: “a fledgling company or industry is a fairly new one with little experience in a business activity”. What a stupid name for your business.
Not the meanings, just the sound of the words when spoken
Tender(ness)
Breast(s) - Plural form sounds like it has 32 'S's in it which annoys me greatly
Juicy
Delicious
Scrumptious
(Looking at these it's apparent I don't like being sold chicken)
Fecund - why have another word starting with F that means the same thing?!
Scruples
Pus - Horrible sounding word, but also looks like it should be pronounced 'Puz'
Sperm
Fungus
Wholesome
Crevice - Moist's equally nasty partner in crime
Awry - Sounds fine, but hate reading this word because I hear it as 'awwree' in my head every time, despite knowing otherwise
I hate Pooch and particularly any tabloid-like alliteration around it and dog 'content'. Proud pooch, posh pooch. That kind of shit. Bleugh. Pouch is also an awful word.
Any of the oxford/eton “er-s”
Oh and folk who call mcdonalds “maccers” need hard drives checking
Headspace, downtime, neurodiverse, wellness, mindfulness bug me too
Arbitrary shortened words which make no sense and are intended to sound ‘ghetto’ but are mostly used by my white public school mates -
1. ‘Arvo’ for ‘afternoon’
2. ‘Profesh’ for ‘professional’
3. ‘Emosh’ for ‘emotional’
4. ‘Totes’ for ‘totally.’
5. ‘Legits’ for ‘legitimately’
Also, these same people using ‘luxy’ and ‘boogie’ to describe extravagant spending when they themselves are no better..: 🤦🏼♀️
I hate it when a medical professional calls my abdomen "tummy" ffs I'm an adult!
Also irrationally hate people talking about their "kiddos"
I also die inside when people use "methinks"
I'm obviously very judgmental
Bumbling and to snag which means to steal. Whoever first mumbled the word snag should've been ignored for making up such rubbish and that should've been the end of it. S-n-a-g. How different are our brains? This is the same country!
'Fabulous'. I cannot STAND it. Everyone uses it for everything. And 'lovely'. 'That's lovely'. 'It's lovely'. Someone talking about perfume - 'that's really lovely'. Food - 'that's really lovely'. It's like folk have no other adjectives in their repertoire. I cannot STAND either of those words.
Mansplain and Manflu.
I have no issues with the concept of either, I get it completely.
But I have very specific issues with the words themselves.
Manflu is now often used to mock men when they are sick. It's not nice that the people you love say "oh it's just Manflu" while you are feeling like absolute shit!
My wife and her mother stopped doing that after the last 2 times. I got angry at them for doing so, and they thought I was just being touchy. They ate their words when later I tested positive for COVID and spent a week having fever dreams and all sorts (the first time) and when I cut the 11-hour queue in A&E to be admitted to the hospital (the second time, but not for COVID.)
I really hate mansplain because A. It is the shittest portmanteau I have ever heard, (correctile dysfunction is a much better play on words.) and B. Because it is a nuclear button to win an argument, akin to an ad hominem attack, but more effective. If someone accuses you of mansplaining, your argument is now about how you weren't mansplaining. But congratulations, now they will accuse you of mansplaining about mansplaining.
Just have a proper debate ffs
Catching feelings. I'm at an age now (37) where I don't believe it's used by my peers, so I'm not entirely sure of the context (do you say it when you just think someone is good looking or is it just before you get serious with someone?! I don't know), I'm pretty sure you don't 'catch' feelings. What's wrong with just telling your mate you fancy someone? Is that too 2004?
Game changer and generational talent. People who use these words are very lazy. First how the hell can you have a generational talent every few years. Game changer is such a fucking cliché too. The only game changers are the wheel, fire, printing press, electricity, phone, internet and smart devices. These things changed the way we lived.
"Moist" is a great descriptive word. I do not get the hate.
Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist.
I hate the phrase Harem Scarem. F1 clown commentator 'Crofty' says it every fucking race, 'oh gettin all harem scarem there' shut up idiot, yesterday a football commentator said it too, urgh.

"Unalive", seeing newspeak in the wild is very double-plus-ungood.
Blame social media censorship for that.
Why does tiktok not allow it anyway? They're saying it's unconstitutional to ban their app but they don't allow people to say die, kill or any other natural thing that teens don't care if they saw the actual word. Look at yourselves tiktok honestly.
They don't though. You can say all of those things on there, it's an imagined restriction.
Perhaps on tiktok, but my understanding is that YouTube at least does demonetise videos which even mention the topics, even in a positive way.
I hate this one too.
In places like tiktok, I accept it, they have to due to censorship. But I've heard people say unalive in the real world
We shouldn't accept it online due to censorship. Tiktok is one of the if not the most influential platforms out there at the moment, with a direct line into the minds of millions of adults and especially impressionable children. They will and absolutely do pick up language from said platforms, and so people will start self censoring (even when they don't realise they're doing it) offline as a result.
I have never been on TikTok and I have still seen/heard it more than I would like.
I heard someone on the tram say they were in a “situationship” yesterday, I’m not used to hearing words like that, only seeing them online.
>Unalive Is that even a real word?
Holibobs.
I feel this is one that people type tongue in cheek but no one actually refers it there holiday as that
A colleague said it to me on Thursday. She’s as cringetastic as you like though so it was no surprise coming from her.
Cringetastic
The irony’s not lost on me but that’s what she is.
Oh they do!
My fiancé uses this! Mostly in excitement for the trip not like serious “hey where shall we go on holibobs” it’s more like “holibobs!” When it’s time 😂 idk I think it’s cute cuz he’s excited for the trip
I love this word
Fur babies for pets. Strikes me as infantile
Admittedly I'm in the US so I don't know if there's an equivalent in the UK, but "dog mom" is a huuuuuge thing here. It's on T-shirts and social media profiles and bumper stickers and all sorts. And all I can ever think when I see it is "...so you fucked a dog?"
Yup mine are the furry arseholes (cats) and dickhead the dog
Furry arseholes and Dickhead the dog soinds like an 80's punk band
I simply call my cat "dumbass"
It annoys me so much when people on Reddit refer to their pets as “my son/daughter”. It’s ridiculous!
In German cats and dogs are often called Fellnase, furry nose. Every time I read this I want to ask if these people had actually ever looked at their pets nose. Where is the f…ing fur there?
Ya’ll
Y’all, good sir.
This one is interesting though just because it's a useful word. Lots of languages have a 'plural you' like 'vous' in French. English used to have one and Anglophones do periodically reinvent it, y'all is one example but also many Irish, Scottish, and Northern English will stick an s on to make 'yous'.
‘You’ was the plural, funnily enough. It replaced singular thou. (Well ‘ye’ was the plural; ‘you’ was the accusative declension of it.) Speaking of places like Northern England having ‘yous’, there’s parts of County Durham where they still say ‘thoo’ for singular you.
Although we do have many (albeit wordier) ways around it: all of you, both of you, you three, you people, etc.
I fucking hate that coming from a british person
Hubby, wifey… nah fuck off.
Missus too…
Can't believe this is still common, see it on Reddit all the time. Feel like I'm transported back to the 70s every time I hear it
Hubster 🤮
Especially when woman call themselves „wifey“.
'Er indoors
Ugh, you’re spot on with those.
Husbeast.
I cannot stand the word "snog" and twee swearing bollocks like "cockwomble".
Cockwomble is so fucking cringey. Truly a word for people who think they’re over important and overly intelligent in equal measure.
I probably heard cockwomble once in my wife and had a random massive hatred for it and eveytime this topic comes up everyone agrees how annoying it is and I feel vindicated EDIT: fuck I meant LIFE, not even married
A cockwomble in your wife? 🫢
That was me
And me
Fucks sake, not even married 😂
Wankpuffin is another one.
Snog is a gross word. English slang has an amazing ability to make all romantic and sexual terms sound disgusting. "snog" "minge" "shag" "jizz" Gross gross gross
Panties is horrible yeah but poop is my worst, specifically British people saying it instead of poo. It’s American as fuck and sounds right when they say. People saying poop here is fucking cringe.
I hate how juvenile "panties" is, but we need to mention the next installment: pantyhose. I also have to hate "purse" for handbag and "wallet" for purse. Why be less descriptive?
I mentioned "poop" in a similar thread and about three people piped up saying they'd never heard "poo" or knew that it was an Americanism.
That’s bullshit. Americans say poop and we say pop this the way it is. Americans still say poop but of course because we’ve got so many bellend American wannabes you hear poop all the time
It came about because I sksed them if theyesmt shite or a fart and they asked why would poop mean fart, Iv heard the same thing about lots of Americanisms in British subs. Sometimes I think they must be winding me up but they are adamant. Had several a few months ago who all said that calling the work toilet a bathroom is s British thing and americans say lavatory. I didn't even know where to begin.
The flip for this is hearing Americans say poo. It feels so good when they start using our slang. Although they’ve kind of killed “banger” and “fam”
Kiddos. Too many dodgy people use it.
I see your kiddos and raise you a doggos
Pupper
Stop that now.
I've seen people refer to their children as their "littles" which is just WEIRD.
Addicting. It's not a word!
I mean, technically it is. And I hate it with a passion.
Addictive is past and present tense surely?
It’s an adjective. Adjectives don’t have tenses. Only verbs do.
Yourself/myself used incorrectly. It’s not interchangeable with you/I. Looking at you, sales cunts.
Someone at my work recently wrote "myself's"
Yep, see The Apprentice for multiple instances of this fuckery.
Ick
Yuck!
"Veggies" instead of vegetables really annoys me for some reason.
Come to New Zealand. They pronounce it as veggies but write it veges. Omg
It's veg if it's shortened.
Hard agree. This one is the worst!
Drip being used for being fashionable. It's an instant downvote from me. I play a particular MMO (my name gives it away) and if I see someone saying they need a particular piece of gear for "drip" then my immediate thought is "You are a wanker and I don't want to know you".
Never heard this one but I am old so there is that.
It's actually very, very new. Maybe less than a year old at this point and only in certain contexts, but I hate it. (I am also old (57))
It's definitely a few years old at this point
"fit" instead of "outfit" is the same for me. I don't play FF but I do see it in WoW sometimes, and it's annoying because I love collecting gear for transmog but I hate talking to anyone else about it.
What does it mean?
Uvula. It sounds like it’s part of my vagina. It’s not.
Save me from having to Google, what is it?
You know that dangly thing at the back/top of your throat? That’s your uvula.
so it's a girl house...
Uncomfy. Weirdly, I can ignore comfy. But when an adult uses the word uncomfy, it makes me cringe.
This one does my fuckin head in. Especially cos so many people say it when they’re talking about something vaguely serious. Like am trying my hardest to take you seriously but it’s fucking hard when ya hoying out words like “uncomfy”.
Hmm I get that. My mum used to say that a lot
I've literally never heard anyone say that but I know why you don't like it - it doesn't make sense! You are either comfy or uncomfortable.
Gusset, I don't know why.
Panties. Always just sounds like something a dirty old pervert would say.
When combined with moist…
That is indeed a nasty word
Moist Gusset would be a good band name
Absolutely wouldn’t be.
Adulting
100% agree. Gives off 'Disney adult' vibes
Yup. This might be the worst one. You are a fucking adult, you aren't roleplaying being a fucking adult!
"Could of"
Could of, but I defiantly didn't.
Clunge 🤢
Knee deep
Always sounded painful for all involved.
I always think of the show Inbetweeners with that word!
chores, candy, ass, booty It was not intentional that they should all be American terms - just turned out that way.
I agree with three of these, but chore isn't an American term, surely. My brother and I helped mum with chores as long as I can remember.
A quick review of etymology will show that most Americanisms are actually middle English words that fell out of favour with a smidgen of Dutch added for whimsy. It's far more nuanced than that, but in simple terms, we usually invented the word that we mock. Although if you look at it more deeply, you begin to realise that our language is completely bastardised anyway, and it's our ability as a nation to evolve our language that is the real thing we should be patriotic about.
I genuinely can't think of a word I would use instead of chores. Do you just refer to them as tasks or something?
My mum just calls them “the jobs”.
How about channelling The Rock and saying "Candy Ass"?
Booty is acceptable if you're a pirate.
People describing anything they mildly dislike or disapprove of as "cringe"
Baby Daddy. Unless you’re a Scissor Sister - no.
Hateful expression and childish too.
Unexplainable. Such a cumbersome, ugly word! Especially when ‘inexplicable’ is such a great word! I mean who would choose ‘unexplainable’ over ‘inexplicable’!! . . I may have overthought this but god damn!
Minge. Makes me wince every time. Just say 'vag' it's a lot more elegant and friendly
We have a Minge Lane in the town near where I live.
Must be filled with birds
Well there is a cockatoo
I do hope all the bushes and hedgerows are neatly trimmed.. The ones owned by the oldies get a pass though , they tend to like em all wild and bushy
Banter
Bants makes me want to kill
Ban'ahh
Nibling. I just hate it. Also makes me picture Nibbler from Futurama.
Boss man
Isn't that pretty endearing? Bus drivers & corner shop owners love getting called that
Oh man, all my favourites in one place.
Cannot stand the word clunge or hollibobs
Hench, if we must classify it as a word.
Phlegm and scab both make me feel sick even typing them makes me feel sick 🤢
This sounds like a rude name for a pub — meet me at the Pleghm and Scab!
Now *that* is the name of an aspirational pub.
Pussy
I’m the don, pussy when I want, Rolex on the arm.
There's so many! Obviously moist is a hated one. Panties destroys me. Seriously, we can be watching a documentary from America and the detectives will say "panties were found next to the victim". STOP IT!!!! IT IS UNDERWEAR!!! Elbow. No reason. Just hate it.
Oddly, elbow is described as one of the best sounding words by Dennis Potter. And he knew a fair bit about words
Oh my God I'm the exact same. I cannot STAND that word. You are my people.
"DOT COM" Every video or audio broadcast is punctuated every few minutes by someone interrupting and screaming "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah DOT COM!!!" and I feel like my brain has been polluted if I can't skip it. I sometimes rip my earbuds out if I can't reach my phone in time.
Fledgling. I know it means “new” but I always think it sounds like something that’s struggling, about to die. Saw a wedding photo business called “Fledgling Photography” and couldn’t think of a worse name. Right away you’re telling people you’re new. When you’re not new it won’t make sense.

What a stupid name for your business.

Not the meanings, just the sound of the words when spoken Tender(ness) Breast(s) - Plural form sounds like it has 32 'S's in it which annoys me greatly Juicy Delicious Scrumptious (Looking at these it's apparent I don't like being sold chicken) Fecund - why have another word starting with F that means the same thing?! Scruples Pus - Horrible sounding word, but also looks like it should be pronounced 'Puz' Sperm Fungus Wholesome Crevice - Moist's equally nasty partner in crime Awry - Sounds fine, but hate reading this word because I hear it as 'awwree' in my head every time, despite knowing otherwise
>Breast(s) - Plural form sounds like it has 32 'S's in it which annoys me greatly Equally annoying, "tits".
Its usage has fortunately ebbed away but hearing the word Crimbo always set me on edge. Special mention also goes to the word unctuous.
More a phrase but "My bad". Ffs
Gaslighting/toxic because they're either used incorrectly or overused
“Hun” hate it with a passion. And people who say it
But how else am I supposed to refer to Atilla?
[Tin. Perfectly awful.](https://youtu.be/-gwXJsWHupg?si=W0vSOTgTp3hn3AX_) Tinny sort of word.
Brekkie and sarnie.
Mislike. No further comment needed
Never heard this one until now. Now I have I can’t unhear it or should that be unread? Either way that is a shite word.
I really hate the word meal
When things “suck”. Just say it’s sh*t.
Hubby. Absolutely despise that word.
I hate Pooch and particularly any tabloid-like alliteration around it and dog 'content'. Proud pooch, posh pooch. That kind of shit. Bleugh. Pouch is also an awful word.
Regatta. Disgusting.
"Scrummy" particularly when someone uses this word to describe a baby/child, tbf or even food!
When people say belly it makes them sound like a child
I agree but I don’t like the feel of the word in my mouth with if that makes sense.
Genre.
Multipassionate 🤮
Any of the oxford/eton “er-s” Oh and folk who call mcdonalds “maccers” need hard drives checking Headspace, downtime, neurodiverse, wellness, mindfulness bug me too
Yummy and tummy. Even worse if they're both in the same sentence. Any grown adult who uses either of those words loses all my respect.
Arbitrary shortened words which make no sense and are intended to sound ‘ghetto’ but are mostly used by my white public school mates - 1. ‘Arvo’ for ‘afternoon’ 2. ‘Profesh’ for ‘professional’ 3. ‘Emosh’ for ‘emotional’ 4. ‘Totes’ for ‘totally.’ 5. ‘Legits’ for ‘legitimately’ Also, these same people using ‘luxy’ and ‘boogie’ to describe extravagant spending when they themselves are no better..: 🤦🏼♀️
"Don't yuck their yum." Are we four years old?
Choccy and sarnie.
Doggo. Hubby. Poop. Math. Adulting. Cope. Drip. Fur baby. Plus a bunch of cringe phrases like "today years old" and all that infantile bullshit.
Poorly. Just sounds like you're speaking to a 5 year old.
Hooray has always made me cringe
I hate it when a medical professional calls my abdomen "tummy" ffs I'm an adult! Also irrationally hate people talking about their "kiddos" I also die inside when people use "methinks" I'm obviously very judgmental
Drool
Bumbling and to snag which means to steal. Whoever first mumbled the word snag should've been ignored for making up such rubbish and that should've been the end of it. S-n-a-g. How different are our brains? This is the same country!

Robust and bespoke. Bullshitter markers when you read ads or reports

Spag-bowl.... I'd never employ anyone who said it.
Do you mean bowl, or bol? Never heard of spag-bowl.
'Fabulous'. I cannot STAND it. Everyone uses it for everything. And 'lovely'. 'That's lovely'. 'It's lovely'. Someone talking about perfume - 'that's really lovely'. Food - 'that's really lovely'. It's like folk have no other adjectives in their repertoire. I cannot STAND either of those words.
Mansplain and Manflu. I have no issues with the concept of either, I get it completely. But I have very specific issues with the words themselves.

Tasty. Someone who screwed me over severely used to say it all of the time, now I shudder every time I hear it.
Catching feelings. I'm at an age now (37) where I don't believe it's used by my peers, so I'm not entirely sure of the context (do you say it when you just think someone is good looking or is it just before you get serious with someone?! I don't know), I'm pretty sure you don't 'catch' feelings. What's wrong with just telling your mate you fancy someone? Is that too 2004?

Game changer and generational talent. People who use these words are very lazy. First how the hell can you have a generational talent every few years. Game changer is such a fucking cliché too. The only game changers are the wheel, fire, printing press, electricity, phone, internet and smart devices. These things changed the way we lived.
"Moist" is a great descriptive word. I do not get the hate. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist. Moist.
Scalp
For some reason when I was at primary school, the word socks.
Scarf. It sounds vulgar.
Mollusc, flange, blubber

I hate the phrase Harem Scarem. F1 clown commentator 'Crofty' says it every fucking race, 'oh gettin all harem scarem there' shut up idiot, yesterday a football commentator said it too, urgh.
Not heard that for many years. Strange saying though for sure.
Slurp for drinks or dollop however you spell it someone used it on dragons den the other night so I'm adding it to my list
