FabGuys.com forum: Most annoying word

Solihull

Mine is smash. Pretty much every connotation from the last decade or two is just stupid.

Smashed avocado (would have just been creamed avocado once)

Smash burgers (how to sell thin burgers for the same price as thick ones)

Smashing it! (yes, you've succeeded at some trivial task)

Smash your back door in (try that on my arse and your nose gets the same back mate)

Mind you I never liked smashing! back in the 70s either. Or those stupid tinhead aliens.

On sites like this 'ass' instead of arse. It's a terrible Americanism and we are British. An ass is a type of donkey or a very foolish person.

Being called 'daddy'.I'm not your daddy and don't want to be.Very condescending as though I'm in need of sex and they are doing me a favour.

Also 'man cunt' or 'pussy'.

"So...."

So....every sentence begins with "So...."

Gonna for going to....it has become part of the vocabulary, it's proof our language is evolving. 100+ years ago abbreviations were not used, now we say "didn't, couldn't" etc etc. It's evolution I suppose.

I hate "could of" and "would of" instead of "have". It's written like that too.

Hey ho.

Look, I'm pretty sure it's not exclusive to Starmer. Bet I could dig out plenty of clips of BoJo and Rishi starting with Look, then doing that clenched double fist thing that's supposed to denote they mean business and no faffing about.

It's just a politician thing, be honest. When they have to look decisive and in control.

"SORRY" Shouted the owner from a distance away , I raised my hand to show no harm done ,, as I walked away I looked back the dog was jumping up at someone else , so he wasn't "sorry" was he ???

The word 'discuss' :-

Some individuals spark debate by making a provocative statement and appending 'discuss', as if setting an essay question.

Yet, having ignited the discussion, they retreat, declining to engage or share their own views. It's a tactic reminiscent of trolls, who thrive on stirring up discord without contributing to the conversation.
