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

This. I would assume it's American I've never heard it used here.

Ugh, I hear you. The word ick was invented for this.

Someone used hun on me yesterday and I can't shake it off. It was meant kindly, too.

On a slightly different trajectory but for me still highly annoying and a massive 'ick' promoter! I want to scream and ask them if they are still 6 years old every time I hear an adult use the word 'tummy' instead of stomach!! 😱
This childish term is sadly used everywhere, it's even in the NHS website! The worst is when I hear a grown man say 'tummy' on the media or I read it in an article or very often in a book!! 🙄

Noooo. That's even worse. Urrgh. (shudders)

I agree, the only thing worse than a sarnie is a sando.. Boak.

Northern for cuppa is brew.

Brew is not fine either. Nor is "ick"

Oh my God, are you me? I am exactly the same with all those things. I don't know why 'a coffee' or 'a beer' is fine but a wine or a tea isn't, but IT JUST ISN'T.

Yorkshire thing would be a brew. For some reason only they know.

Brew here! Don't mind cuppa but I rarely use the word.
I also hate bubba and little man!
And for some reason, only in Yorkshire I've noticed, people say solt instead of sold. Oh and mine stew, instead of mind you! It's only been a thing in recent years. I'm Yorkshire born and bred and never heard this growing up! It makes me want to tear my hair out!

Hate it too

speak properly I think

Picky bits ….. 🤢

Not sure what you mean. What letter could be missing?

I love that use of dinner for lunch. (We have dinner ladies at school and eat in the dinner hall…but always call it lunch. Never dinner.)

It always makes me think of something a bit better than lunch though. Would a sandwich, for example, still be considered “dinner”?

I always think of dinner being more of a meat and two veg type of thing. Which I would love to eat at lunchtime.

I hate cuppa. Awful. Brew is just as bad.

I hate cuppa, brew, sarnie, butty and hating on.

Can I just drop in 'Slimmers World''? My friend has been going to Slimming World (a whole other story) for years but she keeps calling it Slimmers World. I want to punch her in the face every time she says it.

I know where to put the apostrophe BTW 😅

But spaghetti bolognese is such a mouthful to say😆

Brew isn’t used in this particular part of Yorkshire it’s cuppa or mashing - love em both.

I hate “playdate” on a visceral level. Any Americanisms - sneakers, bangs, backpack, season (series) make my teeth itch with rage.

Cuppa has been around for decades and is people used to say. Fancy a cup of cha?

I.hate dinner instead of tea. And so called master bedroom. You know when a room is about 4 by 4 metres. It is so pretentious.

.And when visiting friends and relatives are described as guests and being entertained. It is so Jane Austen.

Hating in is just awful

Cuppa rocks 🫵

What’s wrong with someone enjoying a cuppa with a moist slice of cake while sitting in their new slacks?

I really dislike cuppa as well. And it definitely has nothing to do with the fact that I was once punished for telling my brother to have a “cuppa shut the fuck up.”

My neighbour always says ‘wine o’clock’ and honestly I hate her every time, which is a
shame (or a ‘me problem, to use another hideous expression) as she is very nice otherwise. Although they do also have ‘cheeky soups’ for lunch.

It’s my most hated word.
