I also dislike the word 'Nan' for grandma. I am called Granny plus the shortened version of my full name.

I am referred to as, Grandma. I am not keen on Nan.

All my grandchildren call my ex husband by his first name!

Re: What Words Do You Hate The Most?

Art, not been at home much for the last couple of months.
Since we said goodbye to the caravan and bought a used campervan, after weeks of doing it up, he who must obey, the two dogs and I have been acting like youngsters, finishing breakfast and just driving off on a whim and a fancy, usually travelling around North Wales and coming home when we feel like it. have become an old new age traveller!
Have just come back after a week at Harlech beach in that gorgeous weather.

I will have to look up the "Hot Seat" thread to see what that is all about.

Re: What Words Do You Hate The Most?

Vibrant...to describe a new housing development, or a town/neighbourhood.

What the heck does it mean? How can an as yet unbuilt development be described as vibrant?!

My hackles rise whenever I see that word on the advertising hoarding.

You dislike, ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’? Mmmn, that’s a bit unusual. What does your Shrink say about it?
'Back story' is the history created for a fictional character in a book, film or TV but is being used more and more in real life.

My shrink said I should have a bacon sarnie and 'pick up a coffee on the way home.'

Re: What Words Do You Hate The Most?

The all time worst for me is starting a sentence with 'So'. Almost everyone interviewed on TV does it now, so annoying.

I don't mind 'Partner' at all.
Don't see any alternative really, if a couple are unmarried.

Makes me think of the Lone Ranger and Tonto !
Partner is used for lots of things now .
I.e. Waitrose staff are not called shop assistants but 'partners '
