AIBU?

AIBU to hate cute words for food?

As in adults talking to each other saying they enjoy “a couple of squares of choccy” or “a couple of biccies” or some “veggies”.
And the word “nibbles” as in “she put some nibbles out on the table”.
Sounds so tossy to me.

I agree with you OP. I also hate the word ‘yum’ or ‘yummy’ in any context other than trying to convince a baby to try a new food.

Nibbles is annoying but I’m quite grumpy
Anything euphemistic annoys me - just call it food

How dare you start such a frivolous thread? You should be thinking about Brexit, global warming and veganism! Only!

I have to say that I agree there are bigger things to worry about, but my MIL asking what I want for 'din dins' makes my teeth itch!

Can’t say it bothers me too much. You’d probably hate me, I call dinner din dins occasionally!

Yeah I agree actually but then I also don’t like it when people refer to “hubby”

I was about to tell you YABU but actually I hate 'nibbles' too. Really twee and suburban, and also reminds me of rabbits. Weirdly I don't mind 'din dins' though I would never say it myself. Dip dip though - what the fuck?

I hate nom nom nom. DP says/types this and I feel murderous when he does it.

Sammies and sammidges are the worst. I have a friend who used to talk about having hammy sammies for lunch, and it drove me up the bloody wall.
