Just for a bit of fun. Do you have any words that make you cringe? Mine is -

Discharge.

Horrible, yukky word.

Ooh yeh nasty word!
I cringe at people saying " tad" as in " it was a tad too small" etc.....i don't know why but it makes my toes curl!

A phrase that makes me want to slap the person who said it is,
" what do you think to..." Instead of "what do you think about...."
It really sticks in my craw and sets my teeth on edge! Gahhhhhh!

A couple that instantly come to mind that make me shudder are
gusset
pustule

When somebody says see you later and they are on their way out at midnight!

My niece has a thing about the word moist. So of course we all use it whenever we can

Mental note to self - if I ever meet @CandiceMarie - just keep gob shut!!

Personally I can't stand any business in-lingo like "heads up", "across the piece" etc etc - my bullshit detector is very sensitive and they just set it off!

The latest universal word - for young folk around here at least - is "perfect". It drives me crazy. Lots of things that aren't anywhere near perfect get that response. I almost think if a clerk in the store asks the universal "How are you today?" and I said "Terrible. I've been vomiting all day.", she might answer "Perfect."

beach, when it is associated with diet or body.

For some reason I cannot bear the word 'tit' I cannot say it under any circumstances and I almost couldn't even type it, took me three goes, phew! Well, that's me stressed out for the rest of the day, thanks for that @Wildmissus

Any time someone starts a sentence with "I'm not being funny, but..." before saying something really rude or offensive. Having that at the start of the sentence doesn't excuse what you say next.

lol @Ballerina, I have an issue with that word as well. There are so many other better words that could be used instead.

Good job you're not a bird watcher then @ballerina! "Oh look there's a blue um um um small bird on the feeder"

Agree!
I cringe when I hear "going forward" , especially from Irish politicians
Read this somewhere
"How to have a beach body:
step 1: go to the beach
Step 2: done "

@fancyacuppa i know someone who does that all the time! Grrrr!
People seem to think they can add anything they like by putting that" disclaimer " first
