Would this expression annoy you?!

[PenguinBear]

Would the expression "okey pokey" annoy you if someone was saying it e.g. "okey pokey lets get your coat on and go". AIBU to get irrationally irritated and annoyed by such a phrase?

[sittinginthesun]

I've never even heard that before. Okey Dokey?

[K8eee]

Haha no I know what you mean certain phrases grind on me. My mum funnily enough has this way of say 'really' and me and DH just look at each other when she says it as we both know how much it grinds on us.

[AuchAyethenoo]

Unless it was directed at you, yes yabu.

[lastnightidreamt]

It would make my teeth itch (to use an MN expression!)

YANBU

[PenguinBear]

Not okey dokey no, 'okey pokey' . Maybe it was just the way it was said/ interpreted

[2cats2many]

Never heard it used. However I did know someone once who said 'good gravy' instead of good grief about 20 times a day and it used to drive me round the fricking bend.

[MrsRajeshKoothrappali]

"Okey dokey, piggedy pokey!"

Remember Pauline from The League Of Gentlemen?

Jon Arbuckle says 'okey pokey'.

[lovesherdogstoomuch]

yep annoying.

[squeakytoy]

Every time I read the words "chow down" in an article I want to growl..

[shaggymaggy]

"Fricking" annoys me, sorry *2cats". Also "freaking"

[YouTheCat]

Unless it's 'Okey dokey pig in a pokey, jobseekers' in a League of Gentlemen way, YANBU. It would annoy me too.

[YouTheCat]

X post with Mrs Rajesh

I would want to kick the backside of someone who said this, HARD. Similarly, people who say "how're ya diddling?" Or talk about yummy, scummy dinners.
But I'm fairly intolerant all round really!
Oh god, just remembered the twat who led a training session who kept saying "ladles and jellyspoons" instead of ladies and gentlemen.

[StuffezLaYoni]

Shit, scrummy, not scummy!

[squoosh]

All these pale to nothingness when set against the horror that is NOM NOM.

What's wrong with 'yum' you fools?

[squoosh]

'Ladies and jellyspoons'??

Take them out and have them executed.

[squoosh]

There was a thread a while ago where someone described receiving an invitation for 'nibbles and sipsies'. That kind of wankery will haunt me on my death bed.

[YouTheCat]

'Sipsies'?

That would put me right off, I prefer to glug or quaff.

[JeanBodel]

It's not okey pokey, surely, it's okey cokey. It is around here, anyway.

Sometimes it's 'okey cokey artichokey' (sorry if this makes your head explode with rage).

[StuffezLaYoni]

Squish it was LADLES, so even more irritating.
Nibbles and sipsies has won it for me tho. SIPSIES??

Don't care for "drinkies" either, as in "drinkies with the girlies tonight woo"

[PlumSykes]

Nibbles and sipsies has made me slightly hysterical.

[Growlithe]

What about having a 'cheeky' anything? As in 'just having a cheeky gin and tonic', 'Just off for a cheeky run'.

How about a cheeky foot up your arse you idiot?

[PenguinBear]

Im afraid it was 'okey pokey' that was said . In a very soft, gentle voice too, makes it even worse imo!

[wiganwagonwheelworks]

I say okey pokey. I suspect YANBU. But please no-one kick me . Or execute me.

[MrsBourneUltimatum]

This really reminds me of a weird thing my husband and his family say. In place of the expression "cushy"' as in "he's got a cushy job" they all say "cushdy" as in the phrase Del Boy uses. It's both infuriating and funny in equal measure
