I think the word which most alarms me in a post title or topic sentences is nostalgic; anticipate six paragraphs on the lines of -
- blah blah blah good old days blah blah Airfix blah blah blah second edition blah blah blah didn't count buttons/rivets blah blah good fun blah blah Featherstone Grant Young blah blah Humbrol blah blah burst circles blah blah Xeroxed copy blah blah focus on enjoyment blah blah blah
- only worse.
Responders are invited to identify the word that makes their flesh creep in a post title.

Definitely.
I would add "version" as in (and I'm picking on Shermans here)
we have the M4A1A1 Sherman, but not the M4A1A1 with the easy access ladder which was fitted to the 765th battalion on a Thursday in August. or
why don't we have the version of Polish uniforms that was introduced in 1923. I know it was witdrawn in 1924, without ever being issues, but ...
I've shot my bolt already, or I'd add 18xx, such that the latter two integers not exceed - 15.
Was about to add "anything with a year-only date."
The turn of the 19th century is hardly the only period this happens with .... says one of those who campaigned for the T34 model 1943 :)
Kickstarter.
When you read a post, discover it is an AAR and realise it is only one turn in a game and that other turns/posts will follow. :P

Off-hand, I don't think I've ever seen either in a post title.
"new release"

Actually, i only bought a d&d adventure system game this year. Saving my money for a crisis spending spree :D :D :D

Well......There's an open goal for Kitty. ;)
"Go on, son...Knock it in." :)

Skirmish, 'Fast Play', 'Old School'
'Napoleonic', 'Realistic', 'Simulation'
'Chainmail pants', 'Vodka', 'Florida Man'.
All three in same title would be right out.

Some of the words and phrases that wind me up are:
Alternative - as in alternative history
Seelowe - as is offensive fantasy gaming
1947 WW2 - as in Germany held out for longer and for some inexplicable reason wasn't nuked
German nukes - ignoring Heisenberg had his critical mass thinking all to pot.

But 'Fast-moving' is fine ;) ;D
Quite - How very perspicacious of you! 😇😇

Nukes? Thought he made crack cocaine?
Someone asked if I had a book by Heisenberg and Pavlov, I said I wasn't sure but it rang a bell ....
Yep, that's my coat over there .... thanks Nobby :)

Heisenberg made cocaine?... or did he, maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I'm not sure...
I will now also retrieve my outer garment.

Yes, but where he stashed it can not be known.

Inside Schroedinger's cat? It would explain a lot!
Absolutely no feckin' idea what this blather is about.

Ouch! ;D
Overheard OUTSIDE a pub ( >:( ) A young girl complaining that her friend/ boyfriend "really looks like Heisenberg now". Sadly, missed the chance to butt in with..." Hey...But I'VE still got hair!"...too old for such shenanigans! :(
Really recommend 'Breaking Bad' as T.V. ('Heisenberg' made top quality Crystal Meth.). Think Lead may have similar effect, though.... ;)

The prequel "Better Call Saul" is really good as well.
Last Hussar :d :d

On that drift "Cinematic".

This army list/ scenario is historically accurate.
