To hate it when people shorten the names of food?

[muminthecity]

Strawbs is the worst one I've heard recently. Veg, spag bol and pots also set my teeth on edge. I don't mind so much when they are written down, it's when they're said out loud that I find it fills me with rage irritating. None of these are particularly difficult words to say so why? Why do it? Anyone else feel my pain, or am I just weird?

(In case anyone asks, I know it isn't the biggest problem in the world, and yes I do have better things to worry about .)

yummerzzzz. LOVE it. I am going to nick that one. Oh hashtag, how I hate thee.

I remember as a teen people saying Chud for chewing gum.

Mind you, I sometimes call Toad in the hole... Frog in the bog.

Excellent work Merry, punch punch punch it is....

That was pelvicfloor's idea, but I'll happily take the credit

Yanbu!

Maccy D's
Cuppa
Sarnie
Brekkie
Tatos
Delish
Yummers
Spag bog
Yorkies (for Yorkshire puddings)
Pud
Cauli cheese
Cuzza
Chinky...!!

.....etc etc etc. I loathe all these and more. I also hate people saying 'preggo' or 'preggers'.

(nb: a friend of mine refers to Toad in the Hole as Cock in the Snatch....)

And oh! I heard some fool yesterday say to his girlfriend 'shall we get a Starbs?'
Meaning Starbucks. RAGE ENSUED.

Woman at work who has a pet name for everything said 'bisquick' yesterday and says mickey for microwave...

Hamwich ....hamwich????? you have got to be kidding.

Oh yes, how could we forget? But we must get it right, it's a hamwidge.

I can't decide if I quite like 'Starbs'. I'm thinking it sounds better without the 'bucks'.

I sometimes say spaggo boggo but only because it annoys my husband.

I had a terrible day where i kept calling Yorkshire puddings Yorkshire puddLings(I think the first time was to annoy him again then I accidentally kept saying it) and the tweeness of that made me feel very wrong and I ended up horrifying myself.

crunchy, I just genuinely LOL'd at the puddlings. Aw bless 'em.

Apologies Pelvic, I salute your punch punch punch! Ephemeral, Cock in a Snatch is just........words fail me.

On the subject(ish) of "puddLing", I once saw someone on MN refer to children as "kiddLies".

Oh dear my name is going to have to be changed after reading this promise we dont actually use the word "chocciebickie" in our house......runs and hides.......................

Choccy is the absolute worst. Usually accompanied by "oh I'm so naughty me, giggling"

Ah but if you say choccie not choccy is that ok then? we say cuppa too........I'm going to have to leave aren't I..................

Yes .

...........I'll get my coat.........

My friend from Newcastle says "Sammich" instead of sandwich. She's lucky we're friends. dh says Tommy K for Ketchup. Divorce is an option I suppose.

My brother says "Scramby eggs". I just use the fact that he abandoned his pregnant gf and son as cover for the real reason I feel he should be an ex oxygen thief.

I call Tommy K Tomtitytomtitytomtomtom
