Whether they are large, pink decorative wooden letters propped up on a bedroom shelf ("SLEEP" - like I wouldn't fucking know that's what I'm meant to do in there if I didn't have a word telling me), or words splattered along the shop signs of so many wannabe cool bars and gastro joints (EAT! DRINK! RELAX! CHAT!), AIBU to detest these bloody words that have popped up everywhere in the past few years?! Maybe we should have some for sex shops too along the lines of: "SHOP-FUCK-SLEEP"
Any more suggestions welcome :-)

Yup. Thisnhas been discussed at length in the past

Themore LOVE someone has up, the more likely it is they hate each other

YY hate them. Even before them, there was a surge in crockery/sheets/shower curtains offering you descriptive words for no reason. As if sleeping in Argos polycotton printed with DOZEsleep dream YAWN will make any blinking difference at all.

Hate it all.

I did, however, see a fabulous cross-stich sampler on Etsy, telling me to Fuck Off and Die. With roses. I luffed that, very much.

There is also a house locally that is right on the pavement and has the LiveLaughLove one facing outwards, into the street. So they are not only bossy, they are also sitting on their sofa, looking at evoLhguaLeviL cut from pink plywood. Which must be nice.

Sueperblybilt - the thought of one facing outwards into the street made me LOL - people must think it's a brothel! Not neon is it?!

I always wish I could re-arrange the letters to something rude. But I would like ARSE, just randomly in any room but the toilet!
