Oh I LOVE the stabby thing... not itchy teeth though. Oddly.

I think it's because it's new to me. Give it another week. I'll just feel a bit prickled then.

BitBewildered · 29/03/2013 22:38

I work with a woman in her fifties who talks in a baby voice whenever she asks anyone anything. It's really hard to not explode with laughter.

BitBewildered · 29/03/2013 22:42

I like 'stabby'. I've used a few of these - cheers ears, maccy d's etc. I will use cuntibobs.

What I hate MOST OF ALL:

I ask someone how they are & they reply: "Good"

I am not asking about your morals, I don't give a flying fuck about them.

I am asking, politely, about your health. If you are in good health I expect the reply to be: "Well".

Or if you are ill I am quite happy to hear about it.

"Good" as a reply makes me want to kill people.

And then they won't be 'good'.

And they won't be fucking 'well' either.

And it will serve them bloody well right.

Cocking wank badgers.

Creamtea1 · 29/03/2013 22:43

I love these kind of threads Grin

Hollibobs is for absolute twats, I hate it
Also lil man, ickle, fab, my bad
And you know the phrase 'you're looking well' - that is fucking snarky smug talk for 'you have put on at least 4 stone and look fat'

Creamtea1 · 29/03/2013 22:56

Have just been reminded of more :

'where are you going nice?' as in where are you going on holiday (hollibobs)
And similarly 'what did you have nice' as in what did you have for dinner.
Also 'all the while' instead of all the time.
OH and a a top five most hated one 'red sauce' instead of tomato ketchup etc - red fucking sauce???? How old are you??

greengirlie · 29/03/2013 22:57

magimedi Cocking Wank Badgers - BRILLIANT!!! [bugrin]

me and the husbof (yes husbof, i am the Wifi) have nicknamed our ds Pudding Picklepants, we say Nollydays, we actually say 'lol' when something is amusing.
we also say hilari-lol - it really does brighten our day!!!

i really h8 txt spk when ppl rmve letters coz thy cnt b bovrd and bbz

overheard a conversation between some twenty somethings on pub wall.
this fella spilt his pint over his leg and the girl next to him said...
'do you want a tish'

we walked past, heard it and at the same time said to each other '..ue, tissue'

what is up with people shortening words... so not totes amaze balls!

rumbelina · 29/03/2013 23:02

I LOVE the Ning Nang Nong

OhDearieDearieMe · 29/03/2013 23:05

You've quit aldi? Then I feel your pain! I'm desperately sucking on an e cig and it's been a week but I'm finding it very hard tonight which is why the next idiot in this house to speak like Ned Flanders or the love child of Captain Mainwaring and Joan Rivers is going to cop an unfortunate one!

DoIgetastickerforthat · 29/03/2013 23:33

I see your lil man and raise you sexy lil man, urgh.

Mind you I call the DC kiddy winks, which I'm pretty sure puts me in the 'total bell end' category, so who am I to judge?

Binkybix · 30/03/2013 00:21

SEXY lil man. That's beyond the pale.

fuzzysnout · 30/03/2013 00:28

lil / little man or any variation thereof is the worst. Also End of. Use of that phrase marks you out as first in line for the firing squad.

Omnomnomers who accompany their FB posting with a photo of their shite dinner.

However I suspect I may be a cuntibobs as I once used the phrase 'up the wooden hill to bedfordshire' when telling my furkids it was time for bed.

aldiwhore · 30/03/2013 00:39

To be fair ohdearie (what can the matter be? And other annoying half songs) if someone came to my door speaking utterly correct English with marvelous diction, if they didn't offer me a cigarette I'd get stabby them and sell their kidneybobs right now... this is my first withdrawal crisis. I've gone without FOR A BLARDY (blardy, another fave, actualamondo say it too!) week, a WEEK. BUT... had a familio crisis of like major epic proportions, no brum brum, no little red bus service today, no hubby to kick shit out of and no tobaccy... I feel like a complete cuntibobs, and will annoy the fuck out of everyone to make myself feel norm, so if you want a scrap, come round, I'll start with the howdy diddly do shit and we can forget our slavery to the evil Dr Nicotine (who is female, only a female could ever be such a bitch).

Comprende?

(I'm going to punch myself now, please don't tell me I'm a twat, I know)

Off to pour myself more vino blanco

Such fun.

aldiwhore · 30/03/2013 00:41

Oh and I don't do e-cigs schweedy, I do nicotine crack pipes... hard core. Been a week without that as well!! (go me) On the flip side I'm on champix/zyban and yup, I've turned into Odie. Not good.

aldiwhore · 30/03/2013 00:42

Anyhoo... (is that a no-no as well?)

It's almost beedy byedy bohs, hubby home soon, in his brum brum.

Nighty nighty huns. [buconfused]

DameDoom · 30/03/2013 00:57

My MIL's ridiculous partner prefers to offend in a more old fashioned way... we are talking the always hysterically funny handshake accompanied by the ole thumb to nose raspberry routine. TWAT.

MechanicalTheatre · 30/03/2013 01:04

My parents say Sainsbugs, it's good to know where they got it from so that I can go round to Sarah Kennedy's house and set fire to it.

Sets my fucking teeth on edge.

pollypandemonium · 30/03/2013 01:10

I think it's fine to re-invent words, but re-invent them yourself please.

There's something odd about sharing re-invented words with other people because then it turns into a kind of code language - effectively a way to set you and your 'pals' on a different level and then it gets cliquey. I think that's why I don't like it - essentially it is a way of setting people apart from others.

But the puns and re-invented word abound in our home, we love making up words and phrases - we just keep it to ourselves and enjoy it privately.

DramaLlamaFarmer · 30/03/2013 01:55

Ha! Worraliberty - Cuntibobs! What a bobalicious new word!

ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmmmmmmmm · 30/03/2013 02:47

Long thread, so might have missed it,but.........

None of your beeswax..............

Deserving of a stabbing, immediately. Grin

ComposHat · 30/03/2013 02:58

Holibobs is plain fucking ridiculous!

The whole infatilisation of language... 'five sleeps til' and 'on a school night' are so fucking childish and so affected. It is like their brains have been removed and replaced with cupcake icing.

Every time I see either of these expressions on Facebook, I want to type,

'You are not a six year old, you are are dull as dishwater paralegal aged 35 who lives in a heavily mortgaged Barrett Box in Solihull with your dull as dishwater husband. Please note using twee expressions is not a substitute for a personality and merely marks you out as being emotionally arrested as well as dull.'

VanitasVanitatum · 30/03/2013 03:45

Oh dear, it would seem I am a huge cuntibobs.. But what on earth is wrong with wine o'clock?!?

Emilythornesbff · 30/03/2013 05:52

creamtea you'd not be able to eat a chip in my house as ds has his (cooked in the actifry with organic sunflower oil [bugrin]) with "red dippy dippy" [bublush]

Nom nom nomers make me cross.

Pmsl @ cuntibobs. Am gonna have to go out and talk to RL ppl so I can use this.

Isabeller · 30/03/2013 05:59

Thank god thank god, only on page 2 but laughing out loud which I so need after food stamps thread. [bugrin] (or even bugrinbobs)

Emilythornesbff · 30/03/2013 06:04

composHat well put.
The "(x number of) sleeps" by adults makes me narrow my eyes. Quite a severe response from me.
