I quite like 'Rona!

Locky D not so much.

Pickypolly · 29/11/2020 09:38

I just can’t get excited about this kind of stuff.

It seems to make people really really angry though.
I don’t get why, maybe someone can explain why.

AntiHop · 29/11/2020 09:39

Sets my teeth on edge. Locky d is just ridiculous.

StCharlotte · 29/11/2020 09:40

I presume they also eat at MaccyD?

Giggorata · 29/11/2020 09:50

I hate ‘rona.

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2020 09:54

Yes very cringey-also 'covidiots'. Not angry though just Hmm

BarbaraStripeshand · 29/11/2020 09:58

I hate it when people pronounce it 'corronna'. Angry

It's been around long enough now to know how it's pronounced, stop being a twat.

ShalomToYouJackie · 29/11/2020 09:59

Started calling the pandemic a Panny D as a joke after seeing some muppets calling it that but now I can't stop

I like ‘rona. Feels like a nice bit of deadly plague humour. I wonder what the pet name for the bubonic plague was?

Footle · 29/11/2020 10:58

Bubba? Touch of the bonics?

yeOldeTrout · 29/11/2020 10:59

Covidiots is meant to trigger anger. That's why I don't like it. Its purpose is hateful.

Rona suggests familiarity. We are all familiar with it. Use of 'Rona is acknowledging a fact.

I can muster no opinion on 'Locky 2.0'

RaspberryCoulis · 29/11/2020 11:01

I bet these idiots also say "Sainsbos", "holibobs" and "Crimbo".

Tootsietoot · 29/11/2020 11:03

I hate covidiots, just simple dicks is much easier.

SlopesOff · 29/11/2020 11:24

I don't like Rona.
Locky d is a bit childish but can live with it.

I really loathed ' Going for a Boris walk'.

EmilySpinach · 29/11/2020 11:25

I don’t really see how ‘rona’ is any different from ‘flu’.

Derekhello · 29/11/2020 11:36

Yep hate hearing it called rona 😖

Rockbird · 29/11/2020 11:41

I quite like 'rona. I haven't heard any of the other hideous terminology though.

Heatherjayne1972 · 29/11/2020 11:43

It’s ‘miss rona’. in this part of the world !

I keep calling it corronnarona virus Blush I know what it’s called but my brain keeps conflating ‘coronary’ and ‘corona’
Blerg · 29/11/2020 11:48

I don’t mind Rona, but The Vid seemed annoying when I heard it.

I was pondering with DH how we will all refer to this period in 10 years. I image a consensus would emerge as with ‘Spanish Flu’ and ‘The War’. The Pandemic, Covid, or Coronavirus?

myhobbyisouting · 29/11/2020 11:51

I hate "sets my teeth on edge" but it always appears on these threads

I know someone who refers to Facebook as 'Facey B' 🤐
pinkbalconyrailing · 29/11/2020 11:57

my mother calls it 'corinna'

ComDummings · 29/11/2020 11:58

Panny d. The rona. Locky d. Covidiots.
So annoying 😂

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 29/11/2020 12:04

I'll be using Locky D now for sure 😂
