omg, "dollop" makes me die inside.

Classy ... makes me retch just a bit.

Bland and Dribble are up there for me.

For some reason the word bland makes me think of old people gumming oatmeal. :\

"Sammich" for sandwich bugs me too.

moist! ekkk.

and succulent.

All the words that Rachael Ray has invented.

Oh, I hate "sammich."

my sister has an irrational hatred for the word "crusty"

Moist
When making twice baked potatoes, my recipe says to scoop out the flesh. Eeeew!

Um whatre those things inside a chicken that you're supposed to remove? Giblets?

Also, chitlens, fat-back, cracklins..

Macerate... for obvious awkward-sounding reasons, haha.

not exclusively a food word, but fancy-schmancy makes me want to kill whoever said it! It doesn't matter the context, just makes my skin crawl.

Have to agree with the Rachel Ray words too, Yum-o and EVOO make me throw up in my mouth a little!

"Spud". It gets on my nerves instantly!

LMAO! The above comments are hilarious the word "blanch" always makes me think about that old lady from the golden girls. My sister HATES the word moist too, and she also cringes when Emeril says "oh yeah babe".

"macerate"

"Molecular gastronomy"

Phrase: 'chips and salsa'. People need to get this straight: it is either 'totopos y salsa' or 'chips and sauce'.

It's not a food word, but it's food-related: foodie. UGH!!!

Incorporate. Just mix the shiite together, people!

Gastronomy...eww...does NOT sound like its food-related.

Chewy. I hate the way it sounds!

the word SAMMY makes me crazy - i can't handle it. is it really THAT HARD to say sandwich?

and what about apps - it's like just say appetizer.

Most Rachel Ray-isms. But,I absolutely hate hate hate when people say punkin pie instead of pumpkin.

Poach or Poached

Marinate

Gastronomy

Smear

Palate

“Mouth –feel”

Lactose

Ghee

"dollop"

Scrapple! You ask people what it is and they say 'You don't want to know.' Its gray meat for goodness sakes.

I have to agree with most of the above, but the word that makes my skin crawl more than any other is "snack"...many people think I'm crazy, but I hate that word...the worst is when people use it as a verb "I'm going to snack on these chips...."....blahhhh

"Nosh" and "munch" are pretty bad, too.

Hors doeuvres...........WHAT???????

I forgot to include nosh and feast used as verbs, as in the guests feasted on....UGH.

OMG I can't believe I didn't put Snack. My MOM cracks up every time someone says this word in front of me because it makes my blood boil.

I have two children one 8 (who knows I hate this word and tries her hardest to never use it) and one 2, I did EVERYTHING in my power to NEVER have my youngest discover the word snack......only for her to come home saying it recently from school.

I despise the word.

Tuna fish. Redundant.

Oh Jude C, I hate nosh! Thanks for reminding me.

Dollop=gross!

I hate the word "hoagie" for a sub. My Philadelphia-born mom uses it all the time and it drives me crazy!

LadyLiLa83 I hate the word foodie too. I have lots of friends who say to me, "You're such a foodie!" I can't stand it. I don't know why. What does the word mean, anyway??

Ok, if anyone thinks that "mealy" sounds appetizing, they should be smacked. I'll use it in a sentence I heard recently: "Crispy on the outside, mealy on the inside." Ew.

Most of these. Taters, mealy, Rachel Ray-isms, sammitch, and punkin, hoagie from the comments above. Plus dressing (the kind that goes in a bird, not the salad kind), chowder, bratwurst, and offal.

"gamey" ... my friend and I found a 1950's home/cooking magazine, and seriously every other recipe description had something to do with "gamey". Now I just associate the word with the horrid, technicolor photos of mashed meat products mixed with jello. Ugh.

But snack is also a verb.

I hate the word "skin", especially when referencing skin forming on top of something- like, say, pudding.

sammich and masticate
offal is awful. haha

whoever said "Hors d'oeuvres", it's actually a french phrase that means "hour of eggs". I always found that really weird.

this is a hilarious thread.

''Hour of eggs''. I'm sorry, but French is my first language and ''hors d'oeuvres'' doesn't mean anything close to that.
Hors = without, out of,...
Oeuvre = masterpiece, work,...
Basically, it means easy to make.

A "shmear" of cream cheese on bagels, like at Einstein Brother's Bagels? Eew.

I've posted about how much I can't stand Rachel Ray before. "EVOO" both in it's acronym and pronounced forms, "Sammy" or "Sammich", and "Yum-o" (only a matter of time before that's a breakfast cereal) all make me die a little inside.

There aren't a whole lot of actual words that bug me. I think it's because I'm a bit of a linguist, and so words are fascinating without being irritating. But as for perversions of words (see above), that drives me nuts. So things like "appys" instead of appetizers, "motz" for mozzarella also annoy me. The worst might have been my coworkers who decided to go out after work for "fuh-JEETS". Turns out they meant fajitas. Wow...

Sambo, another bastardized version of sandwich.
Tinny, a can.
Baste
Cutlets

I have a great loathing for the word yummy and any variation there of.

I LOVE the word Sammich. Ever since I first saw Invader Zim I've been using it.
