Words that irk you

I’ve heard many people get weirded out by the word moist. For me the word “breasts” I can’t stand. Just say boobs!

Irk.

The word “moist” is a irksome word for me.

Can I ask what type of things spring to mind when you hear the word moist? To me it would be like a spring morning when everything is wet. I dont understand why people get freaked out with it, I was think it might be to do with word associations.

Personally I hate the name “snickerdoodle” given to some biscuits, or cookies I guess for our USA people. To me it just sounds so stupid.

“INNIT” . Usually said by a 20 something with can of strong lager in his hand and his cap on backwards.

words don’t irk me, but the sound of chalk or a sharpie screeching really irks me

Words with sexual connotations like orgasm and masturbation and vagina (YUK!!!)

My favourite word in English language is RELAX :blush:

@EarthChild Yeah “pussy” is just as bad - cos its always used here in uk, in a dis-respectful manner. Vagina yeah too.

Ive always referred to them as Lady Gardens lol.

“Knock it off” bothers me.

I hate it when people say “irregardless”.

Hate it.

I’m not the biggest fan of some of the words for females like when they are called chicks or birds.

Nor am I a fan of some of the words for vagina such as pussy it just sounds so trashy

Hierarchical - I always trip over it in conversation.

I use the word “tits” myself.

When people say onomatopoeia with an annoying flourish

Usually women use the word “boobs” and men use the word “tits” but hey, whatever floats one’s boat.
