But I have seen worse: I saw someone on Mumsnet refer to EasyJet as SqueezyJay! In a thread title ffs!! Like we were all supposed to know what it means!!!

MortaIWombat · 29/08/2012 20:27

Aaargh.

And the 'leccy'. And a 'placcy bag'. Angry

TequilaMockinBird · 29/08/2012 20:29

I call it red sauce. And the red sauce on ice cream is monkeys blood!

FermezLaBouche · 29/08/2012 20:30

Drinkie-poos makes me stabby. As do 'scrummy' and 'yummy', ie cretinous FB statuses along the lines of "been for a yummy dinner with my scrummy hubby"
Urrrrrgh! It physically hurts me!

ToManyDicksOnTheDancefloor · 29/08/2012 20:30

In leeds every nane is shortened. We call morrisons 'mozzers' and there is an area called Middleton that everyone calls 'miggie'.

Growlithe · 29/08/2012 20:32

DD (8) has started saying 'evs' a lot. Apparently it means 'whatever'. I don't even lie 'whatever', let alone an abbreviation. Where did I go wrong?

Growlithe · 29/08/2012 20:32

Lie = like!

Nom nom nom Angry

MadamFolly · 29/08/2012 20:40

All of my stupid names for stuff are said in a normal voice. Its just part of my normal language. I am childless and in my early twenties.

I only do cutesy voices to the cat.

Am I redeemed at all? Blush

igotaway · 29/08/2012 20:41

'cuppa' i instantly dislike anyone who says do you want a cuppa?

icecold · 29/08/2012 20:42

MadamFolly · 29/08/2012 20:42

BTW I lnly use ones I have made up myself for the most part.

Hubby, bubz, hun etc is too terrible even for me.

igotaway · 29/08/2012 20:46

AAgh ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trills · 29/08/2012 20:49

Our icecream men call it monkeys blood too, but we were once in Norfolk and DD asked for monkeys blood on her 99. The icecream man looked at her like this Confused. I hadn't realised before then that it was a regional thing!

SCOTCHandWRY · 29/08/2012 20:51

Sake. Any fule kno it is called Red Sauce.
Pandemoniaa, yes, exactly! Red sauce and the other one is... Brown sauce.

emsyj · 29/08/2012 20:55

Tommy Steele!!!!! Yes! Thank you Crispy.

Why did I equate Tommy Steele with Tommy Kaye?? Confused In my defence, I am pregnant and my brainpower appears to be negatively affected.
