    The phrase "cringe worthy" is quite cringe inducing. "Worthy" suggests an aspirational context, not an involuntary response that's akin to disgust or contempt. Absolutely detest the phrase "cringe worthy."

    Ouch :smile: Well I tried for a better title but me wee intellect just wouldn't work.

    Please don't take my idiosyncratic pet peeve-sturbating as an insult :). Loads of people use the phrase, it's part of the vernacular now. I, personally, can't stand it.

    I'll pull out my dictionary later to figure out exactly how to respond...but no insult to be had...pretty sure your original comment was perfect. *thumbs up* BTW...I had to clean my monitor after LOL

    When a politician says "Now lets be absolutely clear on this" You know they are going to prevaricate.

    I think honey, dear, babe etc. are ok.

    But I do dislike sweetie pie, honeybun/pie, schnookems, the wife, etc.

    Being called 'ma'am'. Makes me feel like I'm 110 years old.

    You would hate my neck of the woods, Becky. Everyone gets called ma'am starting at about 25 and we're not even in the actual South (lol)

    Oh no lol I often say, "hey, darling" to my husband so I guess I am very cringy :'(

    Can't imagine you making me cringe...coming from you it probably sounds endearing and elegant.

    For the most part I can't handle any of it, with the exception being people who sound truly in love and all adorable like. It's like seeing a cute kitten, makes me say "Aww" (doesn't happen often)

    If anyone ever calls me one I ignore them, or go over the top stringing as many of them in a row that I can..."ok sweet peanut, honey bunches of oats, love of my life, my darling clementine, hot stuff, man of my dreams, baby cakes..."

    I prefer to be called *kitten*!
