I thought it might help ease me through this dark winter if I exorcised some of the words that I despise. In no particular order:
| Awesome | Over used and over here. |
| Heart | But only when referring to my own ticky-pumping thing. I can say British Heart Foundation or Heart of the Matter without wincing. |
| Cuddle | Oh, that word is just too awful. Please, make it go away. |
| Tummy | Like fingernails scraped down a black board. |
| Like | I, like, kinda, so hate the way this word can be fitted, like, about six times in a sentence these days. |
| Movie | It’s a film for fuck’s sake. Or a fillum if you’re from the north east. |
| Comfy | I confess to being uncomfortable about this one. |
| Nil | But only when preceded by the word Wrexham. A bore draw at best. |
| Panini | It’s a singed and squashed ham butty you ponce. |
| Crimbo | Unless taken to extremes as in Crimbo Dex for Christmas Decorations. |
| Baulk | I always baulk at this one. Then wretch. |
That’ll do for starters…
