I agree with so many of these!! Preggers is the worst. Here are a few others that irk me --

- Funployment. There is nothing fun about being unemployed unless you're rich enough to not need to work.

Def hate Preggers and Prego and Hubby. With you there.

I really hate a "Best," as an email sign off. It's cold and communicates nothing. 

Definitely hate anyone who says "Ladies," when referring to a group of women. 

I also hate when grown ups use baby words. Like, if someones says "I'm so sleepy," over "I'm so tired," I do wonder what's going on there, internally.

as a nickname person, I abuse the term mama for my mom friends when I’m referring to them as a mom. I will not stop. 

“And such” reminds me of Miss South Carolina’s major pop culture moment. Not 100% sure she said those exact words, but in that moment, she would. 

Preggers and/or preggo is far and away the worst. 

Honestly "preggers" and "preggo" remind me of a gorgeous pasta dish that might have pesto in it and a nice sprinkle of parmesan cheese. 

I have never heard "so I can stare at it" before — I wonder if that's regional? 

Preggers, yes, 100%. I also HATED when people called quarantine "quar." HATED, with every fiber of my being. 

And this is old, but I STILL hear men calling them "panties," and they need to be JAILED. 

OK thank you for the "moist" shoutout. I saw a meme the other day that said "whenever someone jokes about how gross moist is, i assume they stopped forming a personality in 2011." 

- "My b" just say my bad or better yet, sorry

- "YOLO" makes me CRINGE. We've been through too much to still use that

- "I did a thing" to usually announce BANGS on IG

- "Adulting" if you're using this word, you're not an adult

-anyone who says, “so, I did a thing” when announcing a new project, baby, etc.

-putting “some personal news” ahead of any new job. Just say you got a new job!

-anyone who announces they’re taking a break from Twitter for awhile 

Also, parents who call themselves a “mama bear” (particularly when they use it to justify abhorrent behavior), and, this is business-y, but I irrationally hate the term “cohort.” Can we just call them groups? 

So many of these are spot on. I cringe when people use abbreviations for food like “bluebs” and “strawbs” instead of just typing or saying out the whole word. Also adults who still use the words dope or rad make me uncomfortable.

Do you have words that you irrationally hate when people use them? Like it drives you insane or makes you uncomfortable, just for hearing that word or term being used?

Some of my top hated words or terms include, but are not limited to:

- Preggers or Prego - just say “pregnant”

- Hubby - just say “husband” (I literally cringe inside when someone calls my husband that lol)

- Baby Mama to signify the female parent of a child - just say “the child’s mother/mom”

- Same for Baby Daddy - just say “the child’s father/dad”

- Calling a mom friend “Mama” as a nickname - I just hate that, there’s no replacements except the friend’s name 

- And such; for example, “I bought 3 shirts and such” - people use “and such” to sound more intelligent and it doesn’t work

- Blah blah blah to emphasize a continuance of an idea - just say etcetera; blah blah blah only sounds cool when Ke$ha sings it 

- Using staring as a term for review; for example, “Please send me the document so I can stare at it” - just say so you can review and think about it. To stare is so overly intense.

- “I was thinking the same thing!”, with emphasis on “same thing” - just say “I agree” 

- Provisions - probably the most irrational, but can’t we just say just supplies or groceries, Below Deck? I realize it’s probably proper sea terms, but I hate it

Again, I fully recognize that none of this is rational, but as Tammy Sue Judge would say, “That’s MY OPINION!!”

With all that said, I’d love to hear what words or terms bother you for no reason at all. No judgement here. And let’s be creative and dig deep and go beyond the generally accepted hatred of “moist”!
