“Mouthfeel.” Especially if it’s a food show.
"Unctuous", especially when overused on those shows...
I don’t hate it, but apparently they have done polls and often the top result is:
Moist
Suckle
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.
Receive.
I think my grasp of English is pretty good, but this is one of the most common words I misspell on a regular basis. I have no idea why I keep wanting to write "recieve" instead.
Tumescent
egg
"Stylized"
Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it's an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there's no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it's Thick Soup.
"y'all" its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words "academic incest" which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.
"All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?"
Al'ay'allo'ghtn't've'ny'hear?

Too many to count. A lot of the current slang
Rizz comes close to the top of the list
Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.
