To hate it when tomato ketchup is called Tommy K?

[Itsgottabebags]

Like in the ASDA advert?

Oh sweet Jesus I can't read this thread or it will kill me. Shall we just call stupid people "FUCKING STUPID PEOPLE" from now on?

My XH uses Maccy D's and Sainsbos. It was a major factor in the relationship breaking down. Possibly more important than the infidelity - that could be construed as an accident but the ridiculous abbreviations are symptoms of an underlying cockishness.

DH and I shorten everything

Rasps
Strawbs
Dins

Brimmers (full)
Scramblers (scr eggs)

Etc

You'd all hate us

We do not say tommy k, sainsbos, or hubster though, of course

Pixipie your aunt sounds like me and DH

Oh how I hate people saying hate Tommy K and maccy D's. Fook right off.

Pud makes me

Errrrr never heard if that, but now I have I don't like it

Oooh I love this game.

I would like to offer the most annoying abbreviation of all time - "So Co" for Southern Comfort.

"Hubster" has made me feel quite ill!

An old aquaintance called Sainsburys, "Sainsbobs", Holland and Barrat was "Carrot and Barrat"

I don't like twunt either. It's like a twee twatty cunt. Just say twat or cunt!

I like Golden Arches for McDonald's code. We used to call it The Big M but the kids cottoned onto it.

At last I have found a thread of fellow abbreviation haters :)

I detest:
Roasties
Pots
Toms
Nom Nom
Mat leave
Sarnies
Sainsbos
Chrimbo (yeeuuch!)
Brekkie (ugh)
Etc

Bring them on so we can share in the hatred!

Have found my spiritual home, every SINGLE one of the abbreviations mentioned on this thread makes my blood boil. I've had to skim read as I'm already in a bad mood.....
So, YANBU, or if you are, we all are!

I was beginning to regret reading this thread as every single abbreviation on here was turning me into a spitting frothy rage monster. But then I read the term 'Boils my Piss'. It made me weep with laughter and brightened up a rather shit day. Thanks GiserableMitt!

.

The correct abbreviation (n my world) for Tomato Ketchup is "Red". As in "Red or brown?".

'Hubby' makes me nauseous, but not as much as 'little man' for a baby - that makes me actually vomit.

I hate it when people call vegetables 'veggies'. As in

'I made a lovely fish pie last night and served it with loads of steamed veggies. Nom nom no...............blaaaaagghhhh'

Strangely though I dont mind it too much to describe a vegetarian.

Sainsburys in our house is called Berry's
Things also quite often have "oo" on the end e.g. "Where's your mugoo?" When making a cup of tea.

(runs and hides behind sofa from the stabbing that's about to happen!)

The 'lympics.

You are not 3. Say it properly ffs

oooh yes, does any one else add 'age' (sometimes even pronounced the french way) to the end of words

eg: 'I need some coinage to pay for parking'.

This is the first I have heard of Tommy K, and it better be the last.

I used to be like you all. Then DH wore me down

Here are some of our abbreviations/idioms (domestic lingo ) for you to grind your teeth on:
nanabas = bananas
SleazyJet = EasyJet
Sambos = sandwiches
Toiley = loo
Strictly Come Dine On My Face = all reality shows everywhere

Agree with a lot of you. I also hate.

Preggers
Calling people 'Hun' my boss does it all the time. It is insincere. I want to punch her
Shizer
Yorkie (as in puddings)
Uni
telly
Amazeballs/totes amaze
bestie (as in friend)
Maccy d's
Chrimbo
Prezzy

I have some friends who call Sainsbury's Saino's, and I find it quite amusing.

I have never heard it called Tommy K apart from the Asda ad!
