Things adults just shouldn't say

[sevenstarsinthesky]

I was in a shop recently waiting to be served and the woman at the counter in front of me was blocking the shop assistant's access to behind the counter. She smiled to the shop assistant as she let her past and said "My bad!". I think I visibly cringed.

A-TI-tude
is a common one in my house,
followed by
what-EV-er duh-uhh
by my charming 5 & 6yr olds who haven't yet developed Mater's cut-glass accent and pedantic use of Queen's English.

They are in training:

A-ti-tude will be replaced by "I do beg your pardon, does one have an alternative opinion one wishes to express?"

and what-EV-er duh-uhh will be "what an interesting conjuncture, please do elaborate".

Talking of wanky business speak, somebody has seen fit to adevrtise a job in the local subway as a "sandwich artist"

This is actually advertised on the jb centre website

• sandwich "artist"? ah well, could have been worse - could have been a sandwich construction engineer.

I'm one of those people that adds to words. You know like Miranda's 'bear with' friends. I do it ironically though, but it does make me LOL

Exactamundo.

youthful greetings such as;
'Sup?' (meaning what's up?) very enquiringly and friendly but I never know what to say
'Yo' said very energetically, followed by a pause- Yo what? What is the proper polite response?

I like them but I don't know what to reply.

Hun, babe, so fun, sick, chillax make my teeth feel funny.

at work- learning curve, steep learning curve, touch base, clarify, skill mix, seamless, team work, multidisciplinary team, governance, protocol, policy, guidelines, risk management........... Loose cannon (for he/she about to get the sack). AARGHH

Apparently "that's retarded" now means "that is really brilliant and cool".

Go figure!

HAte Chillax

My borther was stopped by poilice driving and said 'my bad'..I said do you mean 'I'm bad?' don;t admit to antyhing. But he said 'no my bad' means my fault. Why not say my fault?

like saying 'some randomwer' though I like that oen

Thanking you

Grrrr what gets on my tits is people who actually say

O M G is in the letters rather than Oh My God!

Grrr why!?

Oh Em Gee is the most annoying thing EVER! FFS. Next thing we'll be having people say Eff Eff Ess.

And on wanky management and business speak, I read a job spec the other day for fairly straightforward job (for a PA) so it shouldn't have been difficult to grasp the main duties. I can honestly say I had to read it three times because I didn't understand a word of it. It was all 'deliverence' and 'interface'. WTF? It was like a set of cryptic clues rather than a job description.
I've clearly been a SAHM for waaaay too long. I don't even understand office English any more.

Not sure if it's been done, but I hate 'FML'. (It means F@&k My Life). It is used for the most trite things, such as "dropped my toast this morning, FML".

Also living in NZ I also hate awesome/oarsome. A chicken sandwich should not inspire awe. Aaarrrggghh. And the worse thing is that I hear myself say it sometimes too. Along with 'eh' at the end of a sentence for no reason whatsoever.

Oh yes, FML is horrible.
I hate grown women saying 'man shape' 'hubby' and 'hun'
I do say 'ledge' sometimes (as in legend) but never in public
DD's latest is 'mong' when talking about something she doesn't like. I really hate that one and wont let her say it in the house.
One I haven't heard for a while is Buff Ting. I think it means something is fit. I told DD I used it at the school and the other Mum's didn't know what I meant. She was horrified

My 23yr old stepson - still says all the buzz words and phrases such as 'awesome' on being given him 'nice one' on anything been done for him and many more equally annoying ones which I cant recall at moment. He also shortens absolutely everything almost into text speak - e.g. watching football other night he said 'that was a pen - deffo' (that was definitely a penalty.

tell you what I nearly lived up to my name. I know I really will have to do time one day

'awesome' on being given anything - sorry.

Oh grrrrrrrrrrrrr and he even said the letters OMG the other day.

Please somebody get me in a strait jacket before I do harm to myself or others.

Okay a few more.

For the pp who asked about 'suck it up', it's not sexual in the least, it basically means 'take it like a man' or 'put your big girl panties on and deal with it'

I've never heard 'stacked it', I've always said 'biffed it' if you fall, you've biffed it. Or if you fall on your face you've become a 'face walker'.

Where I'm from dank is what a basement/cellar is (musty).

I HATE HATE HATE it when people say prolly, it's probably, prolly isn't a real word.

'Ain't' is also a pet peeve of mine.

Oh and 'toats' as an abbreviation for totally, it makes me start to twitch.

'Random'
'X no. of sleeps'
and people using the @ symbol when it's not in an email address. As in 'see you @ 2'. If you're texting it's more effort to use the @ symbol so why do people do it?
Annoying.
Don't get me started on text. MILs text are indecipherable.

my bad is from the latin 'mia culpa' meaning 'my fault' or 'i'm culpable' Mia Culpa used to be said by a doctor in neighbours, then it was 'modernised' to 'my bad'.

peace. out.

JanetPlanet you made me think of something else.

I also hate the @ symbol thing as well as people using letters and numbers for words.

'C U 2Nite @ 8.' I just want to shake them until their teeth rattle.

And 110%. As in 'I am 110% he is the father of this baby. No a THOUSAND % sure'. Fuck off!! There can't be anymore than a 100%.

Tyrag - dont ever under any circumstances visit my house those are most of the ones I couldnt remember - Yes you'll hear all of those 'at mine' ( yes and that one ! }

Fellatio YOU haven't been a SAHM too long. THEY'VE been in the office too long.
My former boss used to be full of that crap. Guess what - she was rubbish at her job. Never heard a word of it from current one, who is brilliant.

People that say 'lil'. Even worse is when they text it or put it underneath a photo on facebook, 'this is ma gawjuss lil gurl/boi'.

Up until very recently I though BFF stood for best fucking friend.

ARGH!!!
It's mea culpa, not mia!

Sorry sorry sorry...
