When did put become 'pop' and why does it bug me so much?!

[EinsteinaGogo]

Pop it in the oven
Pop it in the fridge
Pop it into your bag.

Arghhh. So twee. So

When did plain old fashioned 'put' get ousted?

Am I alone in my angst?!

And what other words grate on you?

Also 'from the get go'. Crimbo. Holibobs.

Pet hates:

Crimbo
Holibobs
Hubby
Wifey
'Reach Out'

Drippy, drippy, drippy....

@stuntbubbles

“Pop” it in the oven is fine by me – it implies an airy, carefree attitude conjuring scone-baking in my country farmhouse kitchen while Boden-clad children and chickens totter in and out, vs the careful, dour, rule-following “put”. Not here for “chuck it in the oven”, though. Like some kind of student.

Agreed! Pop is carefree Chuck is careless Put is joyless

We've always popped where I'm from
Twee words like crimbo, hubs, hollibobs annoys me
Gifted instead of given
Gotten instead of got

My personal one is super. As in "I'm super excited". What happened to very?

My other one now that I think of it is when someone is proud of someone else's achievements. I always find myself thinking "why are you proud? They aren't your achievements? You're not proud - you're impressed and thats fine"

Nipping, chucking, bunging… all completely fine and I’m not averse to doing any of them. The cutesey tweeness of “popping” makes me instantly dislike the person doing or suggesting it. I’m not a toddler or a fragile flower who needs to have everything infantilised to be able to cope with it, don’t speak to me as if I were.

@BleuJay

I don’t like the over use of the word pop, either.

It’s not as bad as that awful trend a few years ago when people used the word cheeky to describe anything from going to a fast food restaurant to nipping to the toilet.

They still do that! Lots of people have "cheeky" glasses of wine.

I do lots of popping, always have and I'm old.

Can't bear awesome. "would you like a cup of tea?" "That would be awesome" arghhh.

Also hate twenty four seven.

Only cuddly toy bears are teddies. There is no such thing as a teddy rabbit.

Well, I've just popped to the shops because I'd been gifted a voucher so I thought I'd pick up some yummy choccy for me and hubby 'cos we've had to cancel our hollibobs.

I particularly dislike nom nom nom

My DH always 'jumps' in the shower. He never just has one.

Isn't there a Mumsnet phrase "off you pop then, cunty-chops"

@Sunflower101

My oh overuses the word ‘stick’! He uses this word for everything in the same way as OP finds those using the word pop. Stick it in the oven, stick the kettle on, It is casual to use these words but there are other words that could be used, it’s just lazy! My other pet hate is the phrases tv hosts ask the audiences to ‘ give it up, make some noise’. What’s that all about? I guess I’m just a bit old fashioned as saying something like ‘ how about a round of applause ‘ just doesn’t sound fresh enough!

Yes, what do they want you to give up?

When everything that is quite good is "amazing". When you literally don't need to tell me that you "literally" bought that dress just yesterday. When you put someone on the peddle stool. When for all intensive purposes you still get it wrong. When anyone other than Bo Selecta says "Chrimbo".

One might assume I have no friends. Not true. I just bite my tongue a lot.

@AntennaReborn

I hate "sourcing".

No Dsis you did not "source" this necklace, you bought it on Etsy 🙄

Came on to say this (my SIL uses it for even more mundane stuff e.g. I sourced these carrots from Asda), and also the even more awful 'curated' e.g. 'I have curated this collection of houseplants sourced from the garden centre'...

Also I would graciously submit medical lingo outside a hospital context particularly 'meds' for everyday medicines like calpol or Gaviscon but also the proliferation of 'dx' '+ve' and so forth that every tom dick and harry is peppering the conversation with these days...

Why oh why do some fucking idiots have to start a YouTube video by shouting “WHATS UP “
Those two words are the signal for me to leave.

Since the First World War at least! (From Blackadder Goes Forth.)

When people say “hubby” 🤮
When you ask someone how they are and they say “I’m good” … oh please it’s not 1992 and you’re not on the set of Saved By The Bell.
Finally, when someone writes some self absorbed crap on a Facebook status and one of the Huns replies “you’ve got this babe” 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Another anti-popper here.

It drove me mad on the thread about bathroom bins. Lots of MNetters wrapping their bloody san pro in loo paper, walking through their friends’ homes and ‘popping’ them in the kitchen bin. I was in despair

"PM me babe xoxoxox"

I hate "got given". Just sounds so wrong.

I have an irrational hatred of "comfy" it sounds terrible but I really judge people who use it more so in writing, see it on here all the time. Pop doesn't bother me actually.

My current dislike is pound, as in a hundred pound. It's pounds, there's a hundred of them ffs!

Also 'can I get...'

Some of these are regional and/or old. My gran used to say electric instead of electricity, and she was born in 1904.
