Rant: The Word I Hate

[Maisey 260]

I hate the word "pouch."

There, I've said it. I feel better now.

Yes, I know doctors use the word.

No, I don't have a better word.

I just don't like it.🤣

[Jaelzion 1,123]

That's so funny, it bothers me too! I have absolutely no idea why, but I never use it.

I have a smaller stomach that works just like big one but better. I do not have a pouch

+1 😂

I feel the same way about "moist" and to a lesser degree "journey". Must be a remnant of some childhood trauma, lol.

I refer to my new stomach as my banana. Sleeve sounds too much like foreskin or something. Pouch just makes the bypass people sound like kangaroos. Kangaroos are cute.

"moist" is a commonly hated word. In fact, there's a Facebook group for haters of that word.

Same on the word “moist”!! Lol
Journey-I’m guilty of saying that word on here. 😳😱🤪

I thought I was the only one with a dislike of the term pouch. It's just weird to me. Lol

[Arabesque 6,420]

I never got the pouch thing. Isn’t it still your tummy just smaller?

Kangaroos have pouches to raise & carry their young. A pouch is like a pocket, a sporran or a backpack to store extra things.

Let’s ban the word pouch.

BTW - Moist never bothered me. I use ‘journey’ a lot here - sorry.

RE: "Journey"

This is my hangup! No need to apologize ladies. I'll love you even if you use the dreaded word...I'll just read really, really fast past it....LOLOLzzzz.

[Candace76 211]

This is funny, thanks for starting! Moist does not bother me, but I get how it could bother people. I am guilty of journey and have recently caught on to my over using it, especially with weight loss. I am trying to look for better alternatives, although I am not bothered by its use.

Words I hate-FAT, OBESE, BARIATRIC 🤢😖🙁

(yes, I realize I am on "Bariatric"Pal! Sorry, BP, I like the website/ app/company😉😊🤣).

[Creekimp13 5,837]

I hate "weightloss journey" too. I don't mind if anyone says it....it's my personal hang up, too. It's just so cheesily coined from My 600 Pound Life or something. My eye twitches over it. It's really not a bad term or anything...it just feels overused and cliche and makes me grit my teeth a little.

I picture two dogs and a cat on a log with a bear or something.

I have issues. LOL.
