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

Hollow legged?

They should just say “My six feet nine daughter can drink you under the table.”

It’s baked potato here and jacket potato always makes me think of potatoes in a leather jacket or trench coat 🧥

I find it especially jarring when they drop the word potato altogether.

”what are you having for tea?”

”jacket with beans”

I think that’s the point, is it not?

A cafè is different from a “caff”. A caff is like a greasy spoon and does indeed rhyme with riff raff.

A cheeky wine 🤢

It's always crusty bread

I was literally thinking this yesterday 😂 it gives me such an ick!!!!

It will be in the toilet in the near future... and it's BolOGnaise!

I have a Jamie Oliver cookbook and there is a lot of whacking and chucking. The best one though is when he's talking about making a casserole and says "go in with the potatoes". Conjures a vision of me climbing into the casserole pot to be with my potatoes 🤣

I nearly disowned a friend recently after a post across her SM pages - the obligatory boomerang pic, captioned with “cheeky coupla spicy margs! Ching Ching!”

🤢

‘Tasty’ is also on my hate list.

As is ‘gawjus’.

'crispy'

Not if you work in a restaurant, it’s ’plate Up’

I quite like cooking (sometimes) but I absolutely refuse to clean up the mess that would certainly be created around the kitchen if I were to start throwing/chucking/whacking things into pans.

I don't have good aim, so I prefer to put or place things into pans. Occasionally tipping.

When ordering their meal:-
’can I grab’ 🤮 or ‘I’ll take the’ both make me cringe. A simple short ‘I’d like’ is quite sufficient.
also the word texted it’s wrong, I don’t care if they say it even on the news, it’s wrong. I text, you text, we all text.

OMG me too!

It's up there with 'My evening was chill'.

What happened to chillED??

Crusty bread is also an expression that should be banned.

Cuppa, brew, jacket spud, lush all make me shudder. It’s hard to even type this as it bothers me that much, but a local cafe refers to their breakfast sandwich as a “sando”. 🤮 Even worse is avo sando or eggs and avo.

Scran is also a geordie word for food. Though do you want to go for some scran would be the normal way of using it. Your polish mate seems to be grabbing a food. I wonder which one.

My pet hates:

'Piece' when in relation to an item of clothing.

'Gifting' in relation to anything at all.

'Football Feast' - inevitable sign in the supermarket pizza, crisps and lager aisles come some big competition.

'Holibobs' - cringeworthy.

'Minibeasts' in relation to our small insect, crustacean and arachnid wildlife companions. It is truly infantile. Stop it.

'Mac 'n' cheese' is just unnecessary. Syllables are there for a reason.

'Barbie' when said by anyone who isn't Australian.

Yep, we've always referred to it as 'spag bog' too.

One of my friends still uses the term "chillax" which I think became obsolete some years back , she's certainly the only one I ever hear say it now.😆😆

I loathe the words cool and awesome to describe just about anything. It's especially rage inducing when it's people over the age of 25 saying it.

It’s a cuppy where I am. 😁

One I hate is dippy egg. Soft-boiled egg or just say egg and soldiers because if you have soldiers you know they’re for a soft yolk. The word “dippy” just makes me think of Right Said Fred and I hate when that song gets stuck in my head. 🙈

I had to fight down my loathing of the word to post here agreeing with you, OP.

Hate it hate it hate it.

Although an apostrophe can indicate a missing letter or letters so cuppa's (being short for cups of tea) may not be 100% wrong.
