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.

LOL - never, never, never. Rise above it, it's why we have the

Oh my goodness......I say "stacked it big time" as well!

I hate LOL and text speak of any kind AT ALL!
Have had several job applications recently with cv's covered in text speak... on a cv!

Purpleandpink, I am a SAHM with school age children and never use the phrase 'school night' when talking about myself.

I think I might be winning you and Mumbar round.

That's awesome!

Another Welshism is "Over by there" instead of "over there" do you have to point to something to the side of what you mean?
My brother says "yeah?" at the end of most of his sentences, makes me want to rip my arm off and throw it at him!

I agree about 'pop' and 'popping'. Anybody who just pops to the shop or pops something on the table or pops in a mooncup should pop the feck off.

And appropriation of things. I like my bling or I love my music me or I really can't live without my lambrini. If your life is so empty that you fill it with the appropriation of the banal, please don't think I need to hear your linguistic expression of it.

I like epic fail. It's role play geekery at its best.

I hate, hate hate the use of 'we' used in a sentence 'what do we think about xyz?' Does it mean 'you'? Does it mean 'you and me but I can't form my opinion until you tell me what you think'? I see it so much on here 'what do we think of the new Boden collection?' or some such. What does it mean?

Have we had 'Oops-a-daisy' yet?

Makes my flesh creep.

"preggers" and "hubby" - drives me insane

oh and "baby daddy"

I say "oopsy" a lot, but mainly because I don't want DDs 2 & 3 to say "oh shit"

Not that 'oops-a-daisy' is teen speak. It's more granny speak. But it still makes my flesh creep.

"Wowsers" - theres a few on here who say this and I have to try really hard not to scream Fuck Off!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who actually says 'OMG' - as in 'Oh, Emm, Gee!'.

Monstrous.

"Yer know" and "Yer know like" seem very common round here for some reason.

For example :"Yer know like it was snowing and yer know like the car would not start and yer know I was already late well I got it going and yer Know"

No I don't know - that is why I am standing here listening - and why the like it is never needed.

Oh and 'thinking out side the box" - every boss/colleague who has used this phrase has always been the person ready with the big stick if any one actually showed incentive or tried lateral thinking.

Barbie 'Wowsers' by itself maybe not. But 'Wowsers in your trousers', said ironically, has a place. I think.

My friend says 'bad style'

I don't really know what it means.

I overheard a woman I'd guess was slightly younger than my 30 years say to her friend in m&s " I need a shit now I'm touching cloth"

she looked quite respectable!

110% "I'm going to give it 110%" Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

People calling me 'lovely' or 'hon' As in "See you later lovely" "Thinking of you hon" shudders Disclaimer: all said by really good friends who are sincere in their intention and it is taken as such.

Most of the above as well!

By far the worst for me is CHILLAX.. its ridiculous.... I can't bear it when people are 'jus'chillin' and say it in a bizarre way as if on an American cop show... I have heard it twice from young men at the Rugby club and its cringe making.
Also SOZ... when they are clearly NOT sorry anyway.... and I also agree with all the others so far on this thread :o

Have we had 'Oops-a-daisy' yet?

Used to say that a lot with first DC instead of bugger. So much so if she broke something as a toddler she would come crying she had had an Oops-a-daisy. By second I had reverted to bugger - so much so that one of second DC first words was "oh bugger" when he dropped his toy - said in front of disapproving grandparents of course .

'Soz hon, my bad.'

Said by someone who absolutely does not give a toss.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Also 'blatantly' used as an intensifier instead of for what it actually means.

Also the one that everyone moans about ... I'm not being funny but ....I know this one gets rehashed BUT IT IS CRAP !! I now reply,yes you are..you are being funny... then I get testy.

Oh I say nearly all of these. But in my defence, it's mostly to embarrass my 13 yr old dd. LOLAGE.

Not nearly as embarrassing as when she had friends round and I demonstrated 'milk, milk, lemonade'

Oh. Em. Gee.

I hate it hate it hate it when grown, educated, sensible, intelligent women (it is always women) go all coy and say 'ooooo shall I be naughty' when you offer them a cake.

Its a bloody cake you idiot! You are NOT three years old, it is FOOD. Eat it or dont I dont care but dont bloody stand there hovvering over the sodding thing calling yourself a naughty girl!

I am guilty of talking in teenspeak/street slang a lot. I do it on purpose. It shuts my teens up quicksmart. And it makes me laugh. I have a couple of friends with whome I converse entirely in slang. We think it is hilarious.

The trick it to get it just a bit wrong but not totally. So you wouldnt say 'wicked' or 'cool'.

Do it, its great.
