...to detest the phrase

[Follyfoot]

Play dates?

Oh and whilst we are on the subject:

24/7 and YY can bugger off too.

YY - hate playdates too

all that interaction and socialising with other people, i mean you have to be soooo tolerant don't you?

YANBU!!!!

I hate them too. Very difficult though as everyone else seems to use this term.

What's YY?

Not a big fan of Play Dates - but what do we call them then?

YY is yes yes (as in, I agree VERY much).

I tend to use any shortform that gets the point across as quickly as possible, so don't care about using cheesey/annoying phrases; though I don't like jargon as the whole point is communication and I don't like communication to be elitist

though I draw the line at americanisms, which seem to have crept into our culture unnoticed. My biggest bugbear is 'right now', which I read in a novel recently, which was set in britain in the 1950s. I've also heard it used in historical dramas ffs ie 16th C. People don't even notice they're using it but script writers, surely, should be aware??

'Playing with' poppy bearer?

PS unchartered I think you misunderstood....

Do people use YY when speaking? I thought it was just an internet thing.

Anyone else noticed the latest one? Starting a sentence with 'so'. Listen out for politicians doing it at the start of interviews.

Blimey I've woken up raging this morning

nah, i got you

glad you're laughing now though

the other one is people saying 'crate' instead of 'create'

plus playdate is an americanism

'Crate' ?

they're probably posh but it gets on my nerves

Yy a Nd all that but what about 'listen'and 'look' and the beginning of a sentence?
That is beyond rude and Cameron does it all the time. I cannot believe it has become acceptable

The phrase School run -
"I'm just off to do the school run now".

Makes me stabby.

I don't mind YY because I do say "yeah yeah" in RL for some reason.

Detest 'play dates'

People who start opening posts with the word 'So' make me want to do all manner of things to them with a pair of blunt knitting needles.

Mummy anything. Yummy Mummy, Mummy Time, Mummys Night Out. A mummy is a dead body wrapped in bandages.

I also dislike 'running errands'.

yy you just hear 'you idiot' after starting a sentence with 'look' or 'listen'
