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

“Vino”
”a brew”

teeth on edge stuff 😬

I've got 'spag bol' for tea tonight although I would usually just say bolognese for tea. I don't like cuppa, my SIL uses the word every time.

My pet hate is the word tatties for potatoes, occasionally my mum would ask how many roast tatties I'd like when dishing up Sunday dinner, used to make me shudder. 😆Irrational I know but it's just a word I really dislike.

Its either tea or a cup of tea

Ugh brew, cuppa, builders
No

I can't stand "sarnie" either. I just don't get it.

No one pronounces sandwich as "sarnwich" so where did "sarnie" come from?

Also
Plate up

I think you mean serve?

Me too.

But I’m with you, OP. ‘Cuppa’ is nauseating and so is ‘brew’.

My husband once told me he had ‘tummy’ ache. We’re still married, but it was a close call.

Tea is mashed....not brewed. Alcohol is brewed.

Grubs up

Agree. Oh how I agree, OP. It gives me hives. The only thing worse is ‘GRAB a cuppa’

"Vino" is bad but a friend once suggested we had "a drop of the grape" 😱
She's American so maybe that makes it excusable? I don't often see her (sadly) so wasn't going to sour the moment but it did make my toes curl.

Most people seem to say “a coffee” now.

Yes. Especially if he says ‘grab’.

Brew is definitely the worst - closely followed by cuppa.

YY to spag bol.

Also day drinking and cheeky anything food or drink related.

I’m hating hating ‘on’. WTF happened to just ‘hating’?

I think this might be a regional thing. I moved to a northern town years ago and a cup/mug of tea was always referred to as a pot.
I got in trouble at work one time for using someone else's "pot" for my brew.
They made such a bloody fuss about it you'd think I'd killed her cat 😅

Hate the word cuppa too and hubby, hubster, wifey, bubba, delish, brekkie and many more that I can’t think of 😂

‘Cuppa is horrible, I feel like asking a cup a what ?

we have spaghetti for dinner (not tea but that’s another post)

belly is a really hate for me, it’s a tummy - belly button makes me cringe

i love the word lush it’s so awful can’t say I use it though but I think I might try it out 😂

”I can have” is my pet hate along with “if you like” when offering someone food or drink it’s a simple yes please or no thankyou. I personally don’t care if you have some.

my MIL use to say biccie I hated it and she would also so crispie I mean where did that come from.

What’s the difference between a magician, and a cup of tea?

One’s a cuppa, the other’s a sorcerer.

I have a Facebook friend who uses all the above. Everything she does is "cheeky" and often involves "bubbles"

Oh yes - hate "grab".
Especially now you can get "grab bags" of sweets, crisps etc
Also, my mother used to, very kindly, send me back to university with lots of food but always said things like "You can gobble that up" or "You'll be able to munch that when you're studying".*
I just wanted to eat things.
Gobble/munch just made me picture myself eating in a noisy frenzy, bits of food going everywhere 🤢

*Yes, poor woman was obviously deep in denial about my regular university activities.
I also hate "uni" for "university".
I'm starting to realise I'm pretty intolerant.

I never really understand why people shorten something that already doesn’t take long to say…”cup of tea” is hardly an essay.
I have only ever heard the existence of “Spag Bowl” on Mumsnet, but if I did hear it in real life it would set my teeth on edge.

I live somewhere where nobody calls them jacket potato/spud (it’s baked potato here) and I miss hearing it even though it’s been forty years.

I used to work with someone who referred to his lunch/lunchbox as bait and bait box 🤢

Also when people talk about what they’re cooking and they say “I throw in some mushrooms”.

“Cheeky vino”

”cosy” anything, “cosy hot choccy”

Enjoy this reply from a snooty waitress in the film Wish you were Here, when a customer asks for a cup of tea:

”we don’t do cups of tea, only pots, this is a cafe. If you want a cup of tea, sir, you must go to the caff, with the other riff-raff”.

Another shudder inducing word, brekkie for breakfast. 😡
