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.

Oh, the adding extra e's to the end of a name drives me mental.

When someone is going out for the night with their friends/staying in and getting drunk and they say they're 'getting on it'. Like a car bonnet. Apparently until they vomit.

oh nice 'whagwarn', theres one I might adopt. I love slang.

I've just read the whole thread, and it's very funny! I agree with most of them! Some of the phrases I can't stand are

babe
hun/ hunny
luv (written in cards by people who feel no affection towards you)
ah bless/ bless him (always said really insincerely)
like/ you know/ totally (when used endlessly in a way which doesn't add any meaning to the sentence)
to be honest (find this insulting - so you're normally NOT honest?)

I did have a giggle when a 16 year old boy I know actually SAID "lol" about something he found amusing. I don't think I'd get away with it though, being a woman about twice his age.

Sorry if someone's said it (have read most of thread) but I hate the term 'stoked'. As in, 'I'm stoked about it!'

My friend came home from Australia and started annoying me by using it all the time and now everyone seems to be saying it....arrrgh!

Oh 'no worries'
I wasnt worried...?

Actually someone need to come and beat me round the head with a big stick till I stop using the third person when talking to the DC.

As in " Mummy has asked you three times to put your clothes on" instead of I have"

It gets weird when there are other DC are round and the youngest not yet two year old has grasped pronouns in her speech already.

Worryingly my DM has always done this and has simply since DGC came along started substituting Grandma for Mum/mummy is not normal and has always bugged DH since PFB came along.

I say "wicked" and I know I'm too old to say it but can't help it!!!

Oh and I say "innit" which I HATE ... my 11 year old DD picks me up on this one :o

had a call today from some bloke at 3 mobile.. he said awsome 5 fukin times in reply to questions like 'how many people in your house have a mobile phone' answere 5.. how can that be awesome.. wanted to kill him... getting to old..

my dcs say lol, solid, awesome, random,sick, and ffs... just realised what the last one stands for..

idiots one and all!!! i prefer fab!!

bestmamaderwelt - they're not referring to your worries, they're referring to their own. As in: "it doesn't worry me to help you".

This thread is soooo funny. I love it..can't stop laughing at some of the comments:o

And so they shouldn't it's there job to give me wine!

lol I love it.... never heard of nom nom till i read this thread...love that one think i might use it

I hate 'for my sins' as well! Its usually said whilst doing a little bob and putting your head on one side. Its always said about something really ordinary e.g Do you work here?

Its like the 'thank you kind sir' sort of talk you get when people are being all giddy at a village fete, wearing boater hats and frilly aprons

Does me ed in.

But the WORST is that thing when every sentence ends on an up note. It is utterly endemic and for once its not us commoners who are the worst offenders.

I drives me demented. People sound like they are asking you a bloody question every time they open their mouths! And its copied, we didnt do it a few years ago. I blame Neighbours and Homea and Away.

I saw a Minogue interviewed the other day and she said her dad went mad if they did it so none of them do.

As someone speaks their voice rises in pitch, for every sentence.............gnash.

^ thought for a moment that said 'gash' another one to add to the list!

Why do you do it rieslinger ? Is it your accent? Are you Australian? If so, I have no problem. If you are a 16 year old from Fulham there is no excuse and its bloody annoying.

Anything with .com stuck to the end; bored.com, tired.com, shutup.com...

'I miss your life' - I'm sorry, did I die and no one told me?

'Fabby hubby' - Makes me want to push screwdrivers in my ears.

'Uber' - Just no.

Using 'cute' to describe a night out.

Describing friends as your wifey.

God I'm a miserable cow :o

Yeah Bristolians do that rising pitch thing in a sentence - thought it was very annoying till my son went to uni there - met a girl and later had two daughters with her. Now I think it is really cute when my two little granddaughters do it.

I think its annoying when youre not used to it - because it sounds as if they havent finished the sentence and you are waiting for them to say something else.

Oh yes; Peng, bockle, lickle, hospickle etc all make me twitch too.

NO, its annoying if its not your accent. If you do it because you are from Aus or the West country it doesnt bother me in the least.

If it is an affectation its horrible.

Like Mockney and Jafacian.

I quite like peng beats 'lush' said with a west country accent and i can think of any thing other than peng to replaced it with.

I hate 'kids' or 'kiddies'...whats wrong with CHILDREN ?

thank you for enlightening me re. my bad... had heard it but had no idea what it was until reading this thread.

I hate:

hun (awful)
hunni (want to stab)
luv (grotesque and ancient)
going forward (where the fuck else are we going?)
let's square this away (American business bollocks)
bless (although, sometimes when i get nervous in a conversation, I find myself inexplicably saying it and am ashamed)

'man up' as in, get ready to 'suck it up'. Are these two phrases related?

'fnar'
Beavis and Butthead style sniggering (want to stab)
'stylie'

One of my DD's friends says " not to be mean or anything..." then proceeds to be mean!
