I hate when people say 'Rock/ed up'. It just seems arrogant.

Amazeballs

More better (or any other idiotic use of doubling up)

Goldenjubilee10 · 16/11/2012 06:40

I'm good.

Hubby
Pregggers

Goldenjubilee10 · 16/11/2012 06:44

I should say in response to "how are you today"

The response should be

"Very we'll, thank you."

"Fine thanks"

"Feeling like shit"

But not "good". That's for teenagers.

archfiend · 16/11/2012 06:45

Oops, preggers. Extra 'g' for emphasis!

saythatagain · 16/11/2012 06:46

'Can I get......' - with that upturned tone at the end.

merlottits · 16/11/2012 06:47

An adult woman asked me what I was getting 'bubs' for Christmas yesterday. She must have been wondering if I was having a stroke as the way my eyes rolled in the back of my head and my temple was pumping it must have looked alarming Smile

I have a friend who refers to her own bowel movements as 'whoopsies'.

Bubs or bubba (worse) deserves an eye poke.

MaMaPo · 16/11/2012 06:54

Never knew of the antipathy against horrid! Might be cultural.

Completely agree about hun, hubby, etc.

What on earth do you people use if not 'poo'?! It's a bloody great word.

janey68 · 16/11/2012 07:10

YANBU!

Boob/ booby are particular pet hates of mine, and I'm afraid they crop up on MN regularly: "she wakes in the night and just wants booby" etc .... Boak!

janey68 · 16/11/2012 07:11

Oh and bubs/ bubba ... Shudder. You're having a BABY

LittlePebble · 16/11/2012 07:13

Bub and bubba are the worst. Since having DS I can't look anyone in the eye if they refer to him as Bubs. Eurgh! Angry

mummytime · 16/11/2012 07:13

I have to plead for the sarcastic use of teenager slang to teenagers. Its just too much fun watching them cringe eg.
"Thats well Amazeballs innit!"

Bluegrass · 16/11/2012 07:18

Boak.

flow4 · 16/11/2012 07:19

My kids have banned me from saying 'minging' so I say it to them as often as possible , as in "Ewwww, minging, I can see your underpants!" Grin
