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.

I have heard people* say "Oh Eff Eff Ess".

When I say people I mean my teen dbd and her "bezzie mates LOL".

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sexy to anything that is so obviously not. There are several cookery programs i cannot watch any more and i am completely put off mashed potatoes!

babyheave - Really?? I was joking, I can't believe anyone would really say it!! ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!

thumbdawitch.

I wish I was lying. Truly I do. It appears that they feel clever for being able to swear in front of you.

Eeny - I think fml is originally from this blog fmylife.com which is amusing if you are a 15 year old American.

Anyone come across "beaut" yet.

If anyone said "Oooh that Jins she's a real beaut" you'd be pleased, yes? Thinking it was short for beautiful?

Well it's pretty negative nowadays

"I pacifically asked them to send me THAT one!

Rage. Of course you didn't ask them pacifically, in fact you were probably pretty belligerent in tone.

I think I'd get a slap if ever I ended up in the same room as you guys. My best (male) friend is regularly called "Dude", my female friends regularly get "Chick". I've heard "awesome", "cool" and "random" spill out a fair few times. Please don't hate me...

But I do have a few words that if I ever heard spill out of an adult friends mouth, I would bitch slap them into the next county... As follows...
-Twilight
-Edward Cullen
-New Moon
-Eclipse
-Breaking Dawn
-Bella
-Jacob

It actually despairs me that I'm on an English Lit course, and hear people mention these as their favourite books.

What really drives me mad is when the teens on facebook (and yes some of them are friends because they are friends children) put extra e's on things...like 'loveee, or hatee' and they spell their names in a funny way...my cousins son was Liium for a while! Spell it properly!!!!!

My niece's name was spelt Lucie by her mother.It's now Lucieeeee, along with her best friends names as her middle/surname

Yes, that's exactly what I mean dontcallmepeanut! It's generally the girls who do it. Lucie is a lovely name...why spoil it with extra e's!!

Why?

Sorry, it puzzles me! Thankfully I have a normal teen who doesn't do this and doesn't use silly words.

He does stick both thumbs up to say hello though...which drives me insane

I have to say I don't recognise a lot of these. My DD was very confused when a friends son told her her cardigan was sick. It turned out that it was very useful for sitting on to go down the slide.
I'm done is one that gets my goat. If I ask her if she's finished her homework or dinner or bath, she answer's 'I'm done".
She and I need to work on our street slang before July or we'll look totally foolish.

My 8 and 6 yr olds say 'awesome' a lot...sadly

This thread has given me a whole new dictionary. I'm planning revenge on Dad for his constant use of text speak... Yes, this is a 64 year old man who uses text speak... so this thread has given me some ideas! Awesome! Now, you guys need to chillax, wind ya necks in, remember you're all buff tings and get with the times. [hippy.gif]

Some twat one I know claps her hands and says "me likey" when she, er, likes something.

She must be getting on for 40 for fuck's sake.

5 year old DGS says "awesome" a lot. In between the awesomes is "Oh my gosh".

6 year old next door is always "so over" everything.

Where to start ? How about "I'm good" instead "I'm fine" and shop assistants (including those in allegedly upmarket establishments like M&S and Waitrose) who think that "hiya" is an acceptable greeting to customers . And when did " I'm loving it" creep in , what the hell is wrong with "I love it" or is that insufficiently Americanized ?

My 3 y/o ds calls everything "fantastic" at the moment. Getting off the bus in Norwich yesterday, and he told the bus driver "I had a fantastic time on the bus, thank you". I never realised the daily commute was so enjoyable.

Its taken me ages to read through this thread...
'it's all gone pear shaped'
'hun'
'awesome' - my DCs Headteacher says it A LOT.
'sick'

Coralanne - does your 6yo watch a lot of Australian tv? Everyone here is always "so over" stuff when they've had enough of it.

Everyone here also says "I'm good" when asked how they are. And awesome, of course.

Although I do find DH's use of "far out" instead of "fucking hell" quite endearing, as well as slightly antiquated...

My friend (Scottish) came back from her "gap year" (this was way before they were called gap years) with THE most irritating habit of raising her voice at the end of single sentence so it sounded like a question. AAAAAArgh it made everyone who knew her just want to scream. I think she picked it up at an Australian backpackers or something

I say 'oh man!' I cringe a bit when it comes out of my mouth but have got into a habit of saying it.

I hate 'you know' to pepper sentences and fill in gaps, it's lazy speaking.

I say 'my bad' lots, I love the buffy-esqueness of it. I am 35, so shoot me.

Having watched Rastamouse my s
4 year old now says 'whagwarn' which i quit like but not sure id get away with it.
