My dp says "all righty" at the end of phone calls. He also occasionally says "how are you diddling"

I say those things too Blush

As well as 'Ready Freddie?', 'Whoa there Lesley!' and, 'Just a cotton pickin minute...'

aldiwhore · 29/03/2013 20:42

GogoGobo Please don't reach out if it's to confirm I'm a twat... okliedoklydo?

BeyondTheLimitsOfEgceptability · 29/03/2013 20:45

We have holibobs. But hubby (lolz) is leebob, so its relevant...

Nothing at all bothers me as much as "hun" and I know sooooo many people who say it! Argh!

vivalabeaver Shock shame on Joules for being so twee.

aldiwhore · 29/03/2013 20:46

The floodgates have opened, wine flowing... does ANYONE else ever leave phone messages regularly with nothing but "Are you there Sydney?" [despair icon]

LadyBeaEGGleEyes · 29/03/2013 20:49

[bugrin] at aldiwhore .
And at seeker's dh.

thornrose · 29/03/2013 20:53

Hollibobs makes me want to vomit, thank god I don't know anyone that actually says it.
I say "let's go Eskimo" to the children I work with, I'm pretty sure that makes me some form of twat.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 29/03/2013 20:55

Making your toddler say 'windypops' instead of 'fart'.

People who say 'tommytoe' instead of tomato.

'Lil man' for your son.

DP asking me to get him some 'skinny cock' (Diet Coke).

'aww, so ickle'.

People who write 'hun'. Especially the following type of fb exchange:

FBPerson1: Sum ppl nned to grow up n stop badmouthin me and my fam we are happy and luv each other can u say the same
FBPerson2: R u ok hun
FBP1: yeah hun just wish sum ppl wld keep there noses out
FBP2: yeah hun lol no what u mean
FBP1: lol

All of these give me The Rage.

CocktailQueen · 29/03/2013 20:57

Argh, I do a lot of these! Am guilty of Dotty Ps, Maccy Ds, Sainsbugs - um, and quite a few others. Oops!

BUT I do hate 'famalam' for family ... as in (FB again): 'am looking forward to spending this weekend with my lovely famalam...' - argh!

Whats fresh?

Go and look in my fridge if you're that bothered - Angry

And hun, always and forever hun.

weebleknievel · 29/03/2013 21:07

hollibobs doesn't bother me but the ones that do are:
lil man / lil miss, tommy k (for ketchup), HUN (aaaarrrrgggghhhh kill me now [buangry]

I am guilty of sainsbugs and because I get the i-pad, i-phone and i-pod all mixed up they are just called i-pings!

aldiwhore · 29/03/2013 21:23

Oh Hun makes me stabby gogogobohun hun, really really stabby hun.

And WHAT'S FRESH? What on earth is that?? Fresh always makes me think of things that certainly are not.

I LIKE i-pings. Only I don't own any.

I DO love the term NIBLINGS - aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews or nieces... I will defend that.

Guiltly of FAT COKE (but not full fat coke), just because I'm fat and people ALWAYS ask if I want diet.

I'm really really overthinking this now.

OhDearieDearieMe · 29/03/2013 21:29

I think seeker has a lesson for all of us who suffer from DH's who are idiots trapped in the bodies of normal looking men. Hit them. Grin Hard. I'm poised and waiting for him to say it again and he's mistaking the look on my face for tiredness. You really should not tool with someone in the throes of nicotine withdrawal.

aldiwhore · 29/03/2013 21:32

Ah thank you ohdearie I CAN use that excuse as I am... would it be inappropriate to high five you? Especially virtual hi 5? I am learning.

(I caved today and nearly bin rooted... I hate bank holidays, though they saved me today)

chroniclackofimagination · 29/03/2013 21:37

DP's friend's wife speaks to me in an ickle wickle baby woice for an entire conversation, while I reply in a deadpan adult voice and stare at her in horror. She says things like "Me want to seee yummy dinner!" She is 42. She's not being ironic.

rimmerfleadick · 29/03/2013 22:04

Has Baby Momma, made it to the UK yet.

SocialButterfly · 29/03/2013 22:07

Anyone that uses om nom nom when talking about food deserves a punch square in the face. I really really hate it and anyone that says it seriously goes down in my estimation.

ujjayi · 29/03/2013 22:10

Oh my word. My deepest sympathies to all those of you married or living with a cuntibobs and do suggest you consult with Worra for tips to remedy that as soon as possible.

Hun
LOLZ
My bad
And adults who write in text speak on FB or even via text. It makes you sound thick.
