Words you hate?

[chesterbells]

The newer ones like gammon, snowflake and woke aren’t great. Then there are the neo-classics such as banter, bantz innit and the like.

Nothing new about gammon. Its use in the context you mean goes back at least 400 years.

Peeps

In the context of meaning..people

Reminds me of the episode of the Sopranos I was watching yesterday where they accidentally put Joey Peeps' nickname on his gravestone. Great black comedy moment.

Not so much a word, more of a sentence…

I hate it when people say they’re “going down to…[somewhere]” when they’re travelling North to it.

You only go down to somewhere if you’re travelling South to it. You go up to Edinburgh from Manchester, over to Hull from Manchester and down to London from Manchester.

Like, you know what I mean like.

[The Pandorica Opened]

Any of those "quirky" insult words that boring middle-aged women on Facebook use to show what a character they are.

Cockwomble, spunktrumpet, all that shite.

I don’t half hate the overuse of the word “like”.

For example, “there are like twenty houses down our street” “I had my tea at like six o’clock”… just, NO!

but I do say “d’you know what I mean like?”
