My MIL, while in many respects a lovely and excellent woman, has the unhappy habit of shortening many words/names of products etc.

Tommy K
Strawbs
Marksies
Roasties

There are many more

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 29/08/2012 19:19

Oh Bunny - yes toms and pots. Awful.

tartyflette · 29/08/2012 19:19

Catsup is another version of ketchup. Think it comes from the Malay (?) word kê-chiap.

Itsgottabebags · 29/08/2012 19:19

Ooh I call Dorothy Perkins Dotty P's

For some reason, I find roasties an unbearably silly abbreviation. IABU, of course.

tartyflette · 29/08/2012 19:20

I'd like to add roasties and toasties. Just..... bad.

Evasmum12 · 29/08/2012 19:21
