Spenny? 😖 Bargs?! 😤

[Snowdrops38]

And other terms that (probably irrationally) irritate the hell out of you.

These are my two. I think spenny just takes the edge for me. I've heard it so many times, just today!

Fully expecting to be told I need new things to be irritated by etc, but this is only supposed to be lighthearted.

What are yours?

Literally never heard either of these terms 🤷‍♀️

Platy jubes was fab 🤣

Ds1 is 25 and started saying spenny. A lot. He's intelligent too.

Perfect annoys me. Said by hospitality workers etc. Super used to be around a lot. Put in front of everything!

I was born for this thread!

Wine/gin o’clock, cuppa & biccies, job done, picky tea, chippie tea, chin chin..

I have so many, I’ll have to shh cos I’m at risk of sounding a miserable twat 😌😌

Is spenny a northern thing? I’ve heard it for years, it’s not a new thing.

I like your style. My sister and I often Italianise words to annoy our offspring.

eg I have brought a selezione of food to eat on the terrazzo.

we enjoy it immensely.

Dd2 says it all the time, annoys me!

Platty Joobs amused me how much it annoyed people.

I bare love "bare".

Never heard of those terms.
Another one who thought of Spenny as the place in County Durham.

I hear people saying spendy quite a bit. Don't mind it so much.

Holibobs gives me the absolute rage

😂😂😂

I love Christmas anyway, but I think I would enjoy it even more if people came round dressed as bears...

Yes Spennymoor. What makes it worse dss were born in county Durham. Ds1 the spenny sayer isn't living here now.

My daughter used to call M&S Marks and 'Spensives.

Well that’s because it is Wakey, also see Ponty and Cas.

(Wakefield, Pontefract, Castleford)

Ah, this thread give me joy and hope for the future of MN

You people are my crewdem.

Prolly is my least favourite at the moment.

Closely followed by everything else mentioned already!

@Marmite27 @RampantIvy I agree. It's Wakey, Ponte and Cas. I draw the line at Shakey Wakey though. I work Wakefield so hear it a lot.

Aww lovely

I don't mind things like Platty Jubes because I think generally it's said in a knowingly tongue in cheek way, and sort of pokes fun at it.

I'm not as much of a fan of the others but slang has always come and gone. I'm more bothered about grammar that makes no sense, like "should of".

My friend and I text each other about our 'menty b's'

It's all a bit of fun. I spend all day embroiled in legal and formal language, I don't need to exhibit my skills in text messages to my friends 😆

@MisgenderedSwan me and my mates say ‘nervy b’.

I've never heard of either.

Spenny would be short for Spennymoor to me so I was very confused.

A bit local, but still...
Ponte Carlo - Pontefract
Doncatraz - Doncaster / Doncaster prison
Shakey Wakey - Wakefield
Cas Vegas - Castleford

Not quite on the same level as Platty Jubes, though.

Im from Spennymoor so tis has confused me

Where in the UK do they use spenny and bargs!? I’ve never heard these being said before!

I grew up in Essex so there was always plenty of slang words being thrown around but I never picked any of them up, my daughter started to say “Slay” as her friends use that term a lot but luckily it only lasted a couple of weeks!

Love Ponte Carlo!!

I’ve heard spenny and spendy. Spenny from the cool DS22 and spendy from an older 30 something

I'm impressed with how many people have heard of Spennymoor! I'm even more impressed I don't live there anymore haha!
