THIS MORNING, SPIN 1038′s Fully Charged asked listeners to submit their most-hated words under the #WordsIHate hashtag.

And let’s just say the people of Ireland hate a lot of words.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

In the spirit of the hashtag, we at DailyEdge.ie have come up with a lot more words that need to die.

Nom noms

Utterly reprehensible.

The phrase “nom noms” should only be used if you’re an actual toddler. Otherwise, the word “food” will suffice, thanks.

Moist

Why are you using this word? Do you want to make every woman in the room feel deeply uncomfortable/slightly queasy? Is that it?

You’re aware there are other words, right?

Thesaurus Thesaurus

Litch

We can forgive the overuse of the word “literally”.

But “litch” needs to litch get in the sea. 

Curate

Do you operate an art gallery? Carry on using the word “curate” all you like.

But for the love of God, can everyone else please stop talking about about “curating” a sandwich menu or “curating” an experience before the word completely loses its meaning and devolves into complete and utter nonsense?

Cheeky

Specifically “cheeky” as an adjective to describe any of the following…

• Pint
• Glass of wine
• Cocktail
• Nando’s
• A delicious treat of any sort

Panties

Saying the word “panties” should carry a four-year sentence in prison, tbh.

Snog

What are you? An issue of Mizz from 2003?

Away with you.

Bants/banter

We don’t think we need to explain our irrational hatred for this one.
