Is there any slang that annoys you?

[Sophie1029734]

I was wondering if it was just me, I'm curious if theres anyone out there who hates certain slang?
I moved to stoke 2 years ago, my partners family says "is a" for example "is a dog" "is a beaut" "is a hiding" "is a stunner" it really grates on me, the whole time I'm thinking "please stop. Talk normal to my child, stop teaching her improper English" its "she is a" "it's a" ahhh it really annoys me. I use slang but ones like that annoy me.
I also see posts where I'm wondering what the heck its saying, I have to re read it multiple times because theyve missed out words and shortened things. I can understand shortening words such as U, fs etc but geez.

I hate 'its jokes' 🤬

Sainsbos & Holibobs

That would drive me potty too, OP. I don't know that it necessarily counts as slang, but I can't bear this recent thing I've been noticing where people say 'on accident' instead of BY accident shudders

I hate defo/deffo (definitely)
Inspo (for inspiration)

Funnily enough I don't hate info (information) but I've known that one for ages while the other ones are newish to me. I see them more on mumsnet than anywhere else.

These comments have made me shudder

"Talk normal to my child"

I think you'll find that should be "normally".

I get it, I'm not perfect

Simp, Stan and ship.

And y'all

Needs gone. Get rid of it then grrr

I don't mind it; it's a certain kind of vernacular.

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight

Needs gone. Get rid of it then grrr

I HATE this.

@Sophie1029734

No worries Sophie, but, honestly, re-read your OP and count the number of incorrect English usages there are. People in glass houses etc.

'As I said'- when they haven't mentioned the subject before and you have no idea what they mean!

'Innit'

'Bruv'

Using F instead of TH- I f'ought instead of thought

'You get me?'

Some people can say the word ask, but it sounds like AKS! No idea why our how?

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight

Somewhat racist considering it's perfectly usual Scots.

Not slang at all.

But I'm not a 'Mom'

Other people are 'Moms' I'm not - even if my children sometimes use that term

'Needs must'. I shudder whenever I read this and always on mumsnet too!

I hate seeing people post on here and using aye instead of yes. I'm Scottish so it's common place while talking here, but why write it?

Veni I have literally never used that term! And not heard it used in my part of Scotland

Aye! Me too

@Elouera Really, wonder what type of demographic would dare speak like that...

Is it Scottish? I’ve never heard my Scots friend say it- I’ve only ever seen it on facebook local sites and I’m about as far from Scotland as you can get. In fact, I’ve never seen it in print before social media selling site.

I would use it when I want to emphasise my Scottish nice.

I had a prat of here question my head.

I told her to go and bile her heid & MN in their wisdom deleted the post.

In their defence they did reinstate it

Spag bol for spaghetti bolognaise.
When someone says "yeah" after ever sentence.
Give your head a wobble.

My dps family have loads that grate on me though. One that springs to mind is a boughton house, used for a house that's owned by someone. I'm sure I'll 5hink of more.
