The word 'Lush' :shudders:

[User2005103]

AIBU to really dislike that word and be sick of everyone (mainly chavvy people, sorry...:gets ready for backlash:) banding it around on FB all the time?!

Maybe I'm just unlucky and it's only people I am friends with, but it seems to be the only adjective a lot of people on my FB can use nowadays.

It's always 'Lush meal out for our anniversary' 'Lush day out with the kiddies today' 'Look at my new dog, isn't he Lush'

Arghhh, I just hate it! Also on the list at the moment is 'Bubba' 'Kiddies' and 'Little Man'

Yes, I probably am BU!

[exLtEveDallas]

"That bloke from the Waltzers, ee be gurt lush"

Ooh takes me back to my youth

[travellinglighter]

Don't ever move to South Wales, they use it all the time.

[Greenteandchives]

Oh Hun, you ANBU.

[ChasedByBees]

YY travelling, I think of it as a Welsh word mostly!

[Wolfiefan]

It's a regional thing. Not a chavvy thing. Never heard it where I used to live. It's used all the time round here.

[acornsandnuts]

I was going to ask of you were from Wales OP. It seems to be very overused there.

[MelinaMercury]

YANBU.

Unless you're referring to the shop then STFU!

Can I also add the use of "cheeky" in an attempt to make yourself sound rebellious.

E.g. "Just have a cheeky wee vino a cheeky chow mein"... No Susan, you're 42. You're having a glass of wine with a takeaway and no one cares.

[User2005103]

Nope, not from Wales, maybe if I was I could be slightly more forgiving!

[User2005103]

Melina, ditto re the cheeky

[KC225]

I have only ever heaed it from certain Welsh people and they have been saying it for years and years. I thought it was charming

[ReginaGeorgeinSheepsClothing]

"OMG! Am totes emosh at that...." yet again Susan, you are not on towie/that other one set in London.. you are from Dumfries and Galloway..

[AnoiseAnnoysanOyster]

Yabu, in South Wales and surrounding area it's a word everyone uses.

[MrsMoastyToasty]

It's a bristolian thing. We even have a company called Beast (sorry, don't know how to do links ) who print t shirts with "Gert Lush" on them.

[GeorgeHerbert]

I grew up in Bristol. Everything was 'lush'. It's a lovely word!

[AalyaSecura]

North east England too. Just another word for great. (but agree on bubba and little man!)

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

I'm in Bristol, lush is dialect here.

[MelinaMercury]

ARGH Bubba, L'il Man and Princess drive me mad too!

[AnarchyKitty]

I'm from the West Country originally. Lush has been ruined for me thanks to Facebook. Also Gawjus. I have a friend who's been a lecturer for 25 years and uses it. I could weep.

[MrsMoastyToasty]

...georgeherbert ...and if it ain't "lush" it's "mint innit? "...

[AnarchyKitty]

Also Hubby, Hun, Lol, Cheeky whatever, and those Princess on board stickers.
I'm turning into Victor Meldrew in my advancing years 😰

MrsMoastyToasty
I am so getting one of those T Shirts. It will bring back lovely memories of the county show and seeing The Wurzels with a scrumpy in my hand.

[Miniwookie]

South Wales here. I've been saying lush for 30 yrs. I never say Bubba, hunz or any of those other things YABU

[MelinaMercury]

Oh and I the "omg, i'm ACTUALLY freezing"

No Susan, actually you're not. If you were actually frozen then you would be dead. Stop being over dramatic and put something over your crop-top.
