'Weewee'.
'Bub'.
You're ly onallowed to say 'poo' if you're talking to a child.

I knew an adult woman who used to ask her husband if he wanted to do a weewee before they went somewhere in the car.

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 15/11/2012 22:45

Horrid.

Just no. It's horrible when you're a grown up. Horrid is for children.

And yucky. No.

JohnBender88 · 15/11/2012 22:46

Any variation of the word "little" ie - ickle, 'lil etc etc.

agree about mean and horrid too, they get used a lot on here and I feel like the posters are talking to children. Hmm

Viperidae · 15/11/2012 22:56

Any word using an F instead of a TH so saying "I fink" or anything like that

apostropheuse · 15/11/2012 22:58

I always think horrid sounds like it's come straight from an Enid Blyton novel.

ohhh that ginger beer is horrid...

Whatever is the teenage expression of the week ...

It really doesn't mean you are "down with the kidz" because you try to talk like them

Innit!

Shaky · 15/11/2012 23:05
