Nom non nom in relation to food??

YANBU!

If you use the word "nom", in relation to food, you deserve having your hand sawn off with a spork.

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:16

I'd kick them in the fucking mouth.

MammaTJ · 26/06/2012 18:19

Certainly more than mildly irritating!! YANBU!

TheSpokenNerd · 26/06/2012 18:20

I am with Line

Noqontrol · 26/06/2012 18:24

Gross.

YADNBU

Spice17 · 26/06/2012 18:29

It's one of the things only the biggest twats say on Facebook

TiggyD · 26/06/2012 18:29

Even if the food is nomtastically nomcious?

FrothyDragon · 26/06/2012 18:30

Stranded, I believe you know where the naughty step is. Please use it.

bushymcbush · 26/06/2012 18:30

This topic has been done before, but you are still right. It makes me want to gouge out my own eyes or defriend the twonk who wrote it from facebook

MarysBeard · 26/06/2012 18:30

YABU Makes me smile. Reminds me of LOLcats on icanhazcheezeburger.com

jubilucket · 26/06/2012 18:31

Anyone know where it actually came from? It appeared suddenly and mysteriously in the vocabulary of Yr8 about six months ago.

Krumbum · 26/06/2012 18:31

So many of my old acquaintences from school write this constantly on fb, it reminds why they aren't actual friends.

cherrypieplum · 26/06/2012 18:33

Mildly irritating.

HoobleDooble · 26/06/2012 18:34

I usually see it accompanying a photo of the poster's dinner, it saddens me to realise that I know such people.

NickECave · 26/06/2012 18:35

I have a vague memory of a phrase "birdy nom noms" in the Peter Sellars film "The Party" from the 60s. I think he was feeding birds at the time!

sooperdooper · 26/06/2012 18:35

Not as annoying as adults who say things are 'yummy'

Ugh, I want to kill them in the face

FormerlyTitledUntidy · 26/06/2012 18:38

Oh god. Dd said it today, and I actively encouraged it as I thought it was complimentary to the cook Confused
Did we have lunch today?

CharlotteLucas · 26/06/2012 18:39

YANBU - it's considerably more annoying than 'yummy' for me. I think it's migrated over here in the last while from a particularly dim-witted kind of online teenage American.

Also does anyone actually say 'om nom nom' out loud when faced with something delicious? Even in the US?

BreconBeBuggered · 26/06/2012 18:58

A vile, slappable expression. Mostly used by twats who are talking about shit food anyway.

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:59

An Ex-bf of mine would say this about shit like mini kievs.

LadyRabbit · 26/06/2012 19:19

YANBU. I see it on FB all the time and as I dislike those who feel the need to tell the world what they just ate anyway, I dislike the ones who add that phrase even more. As for those who post accompanying photos......AARRGH!
