To hate 'fluffy' speak?

[ItsNovemberFFS]

Stop referring to my DH as 'hubby'.
Stop referring to my DD as 'bubs'.

Side note: Learn to put apostrophes and commas in the right place.

[EugenesAxe]

I'm with you on 'sleeps'. My mate has surprised me with a 'Three more sleeps!' outburst before and I remember looking at her in disdainful puzzlement as I said something like 'What? Oh, yes it's nearly the day you go to Australia.'

What's wrong with days? I suppose your child might not know if it was inclusive of the day you were saying it... but they'd learn, surely?!

My DH said as a joke the other day that DD was his 'little princess' - I think he was a bit scared by my deadly serious tone when I said 'Don't ever say that again. Not even as a joke.'

all horrible

I'd like to add Nom Nom

[TakingBackMonday]

I second nom nom

[LadyBeagle]

When ds was little I called him my wee sausage man, or sausage for short.
As for my dog, you don't want to hear me.
'Whos's a snuggle wuggle boogle boy' is my favourite.

[EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin]

Gawjuss is the worst. I can't tell you what it does to me!

Yes and nom nom is hideous too.

[ExitPursuedByABear]

I speak to my Dog in a French accent

My DH says tummy, and I have to sit on my hands to keep them away from the kife drawer.

knife ffs

[HoneyMurcott]

What echt said. "bubs" is my pet hate.

[EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin]

Tummy is better than belly exit

Belly makes me want nip the person saying it

[LDNmummy]

I say passed away because I hate the word death and the word died. They sound aggressive to me. Plus they sound so final, passed seems to reflect my personal beliefs on death a little more. I believe people pass from one plane of existence onto another, IYSWIM...

[EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin]

I get that ldn I couldn't say that ds had died for about 3 years. In fact I wouldn't choose to say now. I say we lost him or he passed away. Grim.

[GilmoursPillow]

Yep, hate most of the above with nom nom being particularly horrible.


I fluffy talk to my dogs yet I've never used it on my children.

[takataka]

what do you all say instead of tummy or belly? abdomen?

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Stomach

[GilmoursPillow]

what do you all say instead of tummy or belly? abdomen?

Guts

(just kidding)

[takataka]

oh ok....

[EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin]

I don't even do fluffy talk to the pets.

Dh laughed at me this morning because I said excuse me to the dog because she was in my way.

[takataka]

unless of course you are refering to your stomach

[mignonette]

Don't like any death euphemisms. My Father died. he did not 'pass', or 'go to sleep'. He died.

[MaMaPo]

Am I allowed to hate DD, DS, DH, DM etc ad nauseam, or is that going to get me kicked off MN?

I use awful fluffy talk with my husband, but we keep it to ourselves. Not for public consumption.

[EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin]

mignonette I get you. I am not one normally for pussy footing around.

But those words ' he died ' were so alien to me that I just couldn't speak them.

[ExitPursuedByABear]

[mignonette]

I hope I didn't offend or upset you Everlong. That wasn't my intention and I haven't read the whole thread which I should have. Yes, it is hard to speak those words oneself, but I don't like to hear others using euphemisms to me as I kind of need that harshness of meaning to ram the truth home IYKWIM? Makes me sound a bit contrary, I know....

[EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin]

Noooo you didn't offend me tbh I agree with you. If you are brave enough to say the words then that's a good thing. I am a lot braver now, I can say them if I want too. I just hate them.
