I’m hating on the word ‘ cuppa ‘.

[hattie43]

A Facebook friend is really giving me the ick over her constant use of the word ‘ cuppa ‘ . I have developed an unreasonable hatred of it .

who fancies coming over for a cuppa
where’s the best place in town for a cuppa
I drink at least 6 cuppa’s a day
how do you take your cuppa

Its cup of tea

Ahhh just ahhh

No, it’s a brew.

I feel your pain and will raise you A coffee.

I really dislike the phrase 'hating on', where just 'hating' would do.

Haha I’ve never used it before .

Now brew is fine , there’s just something about cuppa I hate

It doesn’t bother me. However “spag bol” or even worse “spag bowl” and someone saying “can I get” really do bother me.

When MIL says ‘sarnie’ it turns my stomach.

I agree. It doesn’t make sense.

Me too.
Also “ick”.
People in glass houses and all that.

I feel similarly about ‘biccie’ - you’re not saving any time so just say biscuit

agree with pp regarding brew.

Paned, cariad?

Love the word cuppa, having one now! Hate the word bubba

Agree with them all, also:

Hubby
Wifey
Going on my/our "hollies/holibobs."

It sounds like an overgrown toddler doesn't it.

There are so many more as well, but my mind has gone blank this morning.

It’s only a brew if it’s iron 😉

I feel the same also about brew, and lush makes me irrationally annoyed, if used about anything other than greenery,

Agree, OP. I also hate 'spud'

Don't mind cuppa, though I'd say brew. I absolutely hate 'baby daddy'.

@hattie43
Try this one for size.
My new boss says "pot of tea"
If we need a catch up he says "let's grab a pot of tea" but it's not an actual pot as in teapot (are they even a thing anymore) he means a big mug of of tea.
Makes my teeth itch every time he says it 😬

Lush- omg -I hate the use of that word. Couldn’t care less about cuppa.

I absolutely hate 'brew'.

I don't like the word either.

Just stop following said person on Facebook. Or better still, leave Facebook.

Oh I’m a cuppa girl sorry! Can’t say I use it on Facebook but would ask someone if they fancied meeting for a cuppa. Not sure if it’s a Yorkshire thing?

Also tell the kids were having Spag Bol, mainly because I can’t spell it (or maybe I’m common from the tones of this post?).

There are a few others on the post that I hate though (not hate on, just hate 😉).

Although now I’m giving it some though, I wouldn’t say it out loud, like at home or in the office etc, only in text.

Also hate "bubba" - they often grow up into a "kiddo". Cf "pupper" and "doggo".
Drinks-wise, I've posted elsewhere today that I don’t like "a wine" or "a few wines" whereas "a gin" or "a few beers" sound fine to me.
Unlike a PP, I don't mind "a coffee" but dislike "a tea".
Never use "cuppa" or "brew".

I hate ‘cuppa’ as well. Not sure why, I have a pretty high tolerance for similar words eg spag bol. Maybe because it conjures in my mind someone aaahhhing in content and slurping. I definitely don’t have a high tolerance for food and drink noises.
