Pop I hate it, and it's all over MN 'just pop round' 'just pop a note through the door' 'just pop in' also sarnie, sainsbos and lecky. No, just no. I actually just stop reading some threads when I see these words as I hate even saying them in my head typingthemwashell

Go-to

Annoying. Used mostly in fashion terms, or that's where I seem to come across it. I envision grown women standing helplessly in front of a wardrobe, utterly defenceless in the face of more than one option, until - praise be! - their gaze lights upon the go-to boots, or dress, or whatever. Then they are saved, saved from the hell of having to make a decision, or something.

Does anyone say 50 pee rather than 50 pence?

Nelly the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus

'Go-to' is piss irritating, I agree.

I really dislike 'ta' for some reason, not sure what it's supposed to be?
