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.

Today a girl who, I would guess, was around 19, stopped me and asked for directions. She opened her question by asking "excuse me hun?"

Giving her the benefit of the doubt, I decided I had misheard.

Until she extended the interrogative latitude I had afforded her and concluded our conversation by saying "thanks a bunch honey bun".

I was . I wouldn't even call my own mother "honey bun".

"You get me?" Get you what?

"Alright?" As a greeting.

"abode"
"myself" used incorrectly (as in "myself or my colleague will be in touch"...)
"little boys'/girls' room", "comfort break"

one that annoys me and I don't really know why is when you say hello to someone "how are you and they reply "good thanks", is this new?, I always say "fine thanks", has anyone else noticed this ? is it new? is it just me ? is it a young per son thing that's been picked up by oldies ?

Sorry people I just hate "LOL" I don't really know why but it makes me cringe when I read it, I know it's not a spoken thing but still, I hate it!

I love slang. Imaginative, evolving language, never stagnating, owned by a generation - oh it's wonderful stuff.

Innit tho.

Lol

"Hubby" (sorry, couldn't resist) is from Devon, and his whole family all say, "Where are you to?" when they ask where we're going.

What does that even MEAN?? Drives me mad.

Has anyone said Mandem yet? My fifteeen year old says this. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what he is talking about. I've seen Jessie J as well, and I still don't understand.

Oh and 'Blud' He does that too.

(embarrassed and slightly bewildered white middle class mother emoticon.)

I had to stop myself yesterday from replying on a friends teenagers status on FB. He put '* is really sick'....I wanted to say 'I hope they feel better soon!' but didn't as I would like I was old and crumbly!!

I currently have "LOL" scrawled in silver pen on my ankle cast, courtesy of my 15 yo. I wince ever time I catch sight of it. Bluddy teenagers...

"anything suffixed with .com - tired.com, bed.com, fuckoff.com"

Have to say though, I do find my 76 year old mum saying this quite sweet. She says it when her (female) terrier tries to mount one of the children. 'Oh look at Maddy - she's confused.com'!

I suspect the kids don't think it's that funny. Especially my one year old nephew who finds the whole experience of being manically humped by a deranged dog very unpleasant.

i have a friend who says 'does that make sense' after every other sentence. YES IT DOES - I WOULD TELL YOU IF IT DIDN'T. Drives me nuts!

If she has to say 'does that make sense' at the end of every sentence maybe it is because you glaze over when she starts talking.

thedevilandthedeepbluesea_ what is "milk milk lemonade"? 'Scuse the ignorance!

Mentioned briefly above is "whatever". Especially when accompanied by the hand gestures (making a 'W' with your two thumbs and forefingers and then holding up an 'L' shape on your forehead for "loser")! This may now be somewhat passe amongst our yoof, I don't know.

Hah maybe that is why - shall have to ask my OH if she does it to him too. I try not to speak to her too oftne anyway.

I also hate just about anything tv fashion gurus say.

Trouser - its bloody trousers
the skirt, trouser, shoe etc etc. Its not the, there are fecking hundreds of them.
Price point - dont be stupid
Comes in at - you mean it costs dont you?
Bang on trend - just shut up
And of course when they use the sentence 'The trouser comes is bang on trend and comes in at the very reasonable price point of £600' Everything is wrong with that.

Then they probably start going on about some sort of journey they have given 110% to.

Its bear waste blud, you get me?

devilandthedeep I am weeping with laughter at you demonstrating milk milk lemonade for your DDs friends. I suspect you already know this, but she hated you for a moment.

Also sniggering at the old lady calling her husband, the father of her children, "gaylord" assuming it had another meaning. This is why you need to check urban dictionary before taking new slang anywhere.

The irony is that my DS1 who is an urban, black teenager is not allowed to utter any street slang in the house. He gets jumped on from a great height if a peng,nang or sick comes out of his mouth.

Which makes tormenting him with my strangled version all the more fun.

Mwah ha hahahahaha.

jellybags - jealous?

I've thought of another

Any word with ST in it automatically has a 'h' inserted

"SHHHTudents"
