YANBU I hate Crimbo, Primarni and Gawjus.

Cuntibobs on the other hand is now going to be used regularly.

kennyp · 29/03/2013 18:18

Love asbo for asda!!!

Holibobs makes me want to vomit though. Anyone who says it should be kicked in the flappibobs.

Ditto those who say wine o clock or beer o clock.

kennyp · 29/03/2013 18:20

When i want to be nauseous and want dh to bring me home cake i talk in a stupid voice and say "can oooo bring home some cake for ickly oooo". Job done. Pret banana cake a go go.

YADNBU I fucking hate it!

BitOutOfPractice · 29/03/2013 18:23

They should be thrown into the same dungeon as people who say "hubby". Unlike people who say "hubster" who should simply be killed.

Someone on my fb started saying "cuppy" instead of cup of tea. I had to unfriendly her

BrunellaPommelhorse · 29/03/2013 18:23

Oh no! We say we are our cat's mummy and daddy, but she's not our furbaby. Generally she's known as "The Twat".
Our ds is the Bubs but only to me and dh.Blush
Holibobs, Chrimbo and anything "bobs"(except cunt) deserves a slap along with calling anyone "babes".

snowballschanceineaster · 29/03/2013 18:34

My daughter had shoedipops, but only when she was 2. Now I'd gaze at her witheringly if she referred to her Converse as shoedipops.

And if anyone had heard me call them shoedipops back in the day, I'd have given them permission to slap me hard.

sudaname · 29/03/2013 18:37

Gogogobo yeah l think so too.

Kennyp You would understand if you walked round our local Asda, it is a veritable harem of pink velour pyjama clad ladies and tattooed bodybuilder 'I'm 'ard' types and in the Beers,Wines and Spirits aisle you can even be serenaded by a rubber legged fellow shopper singing Danny Boy (uncut,club singer version) whilst one picks ones bottle of wine for ones evening meal Grin .

onetiredmummy · 29/03/2013 18:41

Can I add my ex mil with her annoying phrases, used to drive me insane

Pibbing instead of pudding
Used to insist on being called 'mummysusan' instead of just sue.

Also i now applaud my dad for when being faced with a roomful of goth teenagers, listening to guns n roses and being determined not to smile, always calling them bums and noses and sniggering at his funnyness. I still call them bums and noses to this day Smile

Cuntibobs · 29/03/2013 18:42

Shouldn't be allowed....

WorraLiberty · 29/03/2013 18:50

Lovecat · 29/03/2013 18:50

Prezzie, sarnie & soz for sorry are all common parlance on Merseyside (or the bit of it where I grew up, anyway).

Hollibobs not so much. I used to share a house with a girl who said 'Shaftesbury Ave'. Not Avenue, just Ave. That was annoying.

I agree that Lil Man is utterly boaktastic - I have 2 friends on FB who, until the birth of their male children, appeared to be normal, functioning human beings. Now suddenly their feeds are full of LM, bubba and variations on hubby/hubster/hubs. These are professional women who until they went on maternity leave held down responsible, high-powered jobs. Perhaps it's just FB....

Emilythornesbff · 29/03/2013 18:53

Grin @ seeker

Emilythornesbff · 29/03/2013 18:53

Yanbu btw.

INeedThatForkOff · 29/03/2013 18:56

Damn it, do I have to stop saying Sainsbo's? I learned it in here too Confused

Fucking hate the Nom Nommers. Hope they fucking choke.

sudaname · 29/03/2013 18:57

Cuntibobs Grin

Can l change mine to marriedtotwatface

Oh yeah and another one he says is 'Break of the fast'

Twat.

aldiwhore · 29/03/2013 18:59

YABU they're not TWATS, bit extreme. Maybe in your opinion, lame. But twat is bandied around far too much, the violent ex is a twat, people who say 'hubby' are twats... they're incomparible, so it probably makes you a twat (and everyone else) for not thinking up a better word.

Twattibobs for example.

I call Sainsbury's 'Sainsbugs' I don't think I'm a twat, proudly lame and infantile, but not a twat.

aldiwhore · 29/03/2013 19:00

But sudaname he's accurate at least. Smile

Emilythornesbff · 29/03/2013 19:01

Probably not in the same league but i find the term "full fat coke" very irritating.

mum47 · 29/03/2013 19:04

Calling clingfilm "cling".

LittleBairn · 29/03/2013 19:05

Lol I've never heard of Sainbugs!
