To say something is "gold" or "golden " as a term of approval.

To say that something is the "playbook"

Meds. Probably annoys me because most people I know that use it are over dramatic types who also 'end up' (take themselves to) in A&E. They always manage to check in on FB despite being in dire need of medical attention, brave soldiers Hmm

Pudding and Mummy both make me wince. 😤

SixFeetUnder · 08/09/2018 00:41

Shook- a particular favourite of my youngest, as in 'I am shook'. Nope.

After watching Love Island this year, and I know this isn't a word but a phrase, I hate hearing any variation on 'Where's your head at?' 'Just letting you know where my heads at' nonsense!

Cheeky
Sweeties
Choccy

Front Bottom
Ffs, just use the correct terminology!

Igletpiglet · 08/09/2018 01:24

Tuppence. Or front bottom for vagina.
IT’S a VAGINA.
Or a foof.
But not a tuppence.

Gettingbackonmyfeet · 08/09/2018 01:53

Mugged off ...just no...not ever.

As in " am I being mugged off here?"

9amtrain · 08/09/2018 01:57

It's not even a vaginal is it? It's a vulva apparently. Grin

MistressDeeCee · 08/09/2018 04:50

Hollibobs, Amazeballs, NomNom silly naff sounding words like that. & when people use "Like" as a joint word. Go away

I don't like the word "unctuous" or anything similar. Don't really know why

AsleepAllDay · 08/09/2018 05:11

My ex hates the word 'cuppa' which I like, I think it's sweet

I don't like childish euphemisms like foof or fanjo

Saggital · 08/09/2018 05:44

Crimbo and Xmas

IWouldLikeToKnow · 08/09/2018 06:01

I hate veggies and cardie. MIL I'm looking at you!! Also chocs, and worse, posh chocs. That really gives me the rage.
