to think there are certain words that should never come out of an adult's mouth?

Well jel
Totes
Blates
Bad/sick for good
Cool/coolio
'Rock chick' makes me heave
Funky

I hate when people say 'Rock/ed up'. It just seems arrogant.

Amazeballs

More better (or any other idiotic use of doubling up)

Goldenjubilee10 Fri 16-Nov-12 06:40:36

I'm good.

archfiend Fri 16-Nov-12 06:44:39

Hubby
Pregggers
Delish

<shudder>

Goldenjubilee10 Fri 16-Nov-12 06:44:46

I should say in response to "how are you today"

The response should be

"Very we'll, thank you."

"Fine thanks"

"Feeling like shit"

But not "good". That's for teenagers.

archfiend Fri 16-Nov-12 06:45:33

Oops, preggers. Extra 'g' for emphasis!

saythatagain Fri 16-Nov-12 06:46:08

'Can I get......' - with that upturned tone at the end.

An adult woman asked me what I was getting 'bubs' for Christmas yesterday. She must have been wondering if I was having a stroke as the way my eyes rolled in the back of my head and my temple was pumping it must have looked alarming smile

I have a friend who refers to her own bowel movements as 'whoopsies'.

Bubs or bubba (worse) deserves an eye poke.

Never knew of the antipathy against horrid! Might be cultural.

Completely agree about hun, hubby, etc.

What on earth do you people use if not 'poo'?! It's a bloody great word.

janey68 Fri 16-Nov-12 07:10:05

YANBU!

Boob/ booby are particular pet hates of mine, and I'm afraid they crop up on MN regularly: "she wakes in the night and just wants booby" etc .... Boak!

janey68 Fri 16-Nov-12 07:11:00

Oh and bubs/ bubba ... Shudder. You're having a BABY

LittlePebble Fri 16-Nov-12 07:13:29

Bub and bubba are the worst. Since having DS I can't look anyone in the eye if they refer to him as Bubs. Eurgh! angry

mummytime Fri 16-Nov-12 07:13:46

I have to plead for the sarcastic use of teenager slang to teenagers. Its just too much fun watching them cringe eg.
"Thats well Amazeballs innit!"

Bluegrass Fri 16-Nov-12 07:18:10

Boak.

flow4 Fri 16-Nov-12 07:19:33

My kids have banned me from saying 'minging' so I say it to them as often as possible , as in "Ewwww, minging, I can see your underpants!" grin

fluffyraggies Fri 16-Nov-12 07:29:55
