to unfriend, unfollow and generally avoid like the plague anyone who uses the word 'hollibobs'

[MmeLindor]

You have not just returned from your 'hollibobs'. You were on holiday. I can cope with 'vacation' if you are from North America.

The word 'hollibobs' has MORE LETTERS than the word that you are replacing it with.

And it makes you look dim.

[gamerchick]

im not arsed how it makes me look.. Other peoples opinions don't bother me much ;)

The excessive use of the D key gets on my norks slightly, but I choose to ignore it.. Because who really gives a toss?

[MmeLindor]

What is the D key? Now you have me confused.

I am too old for this.

[phantomhairpuller]

I say 'hollibobs' and 'windy pops'

[JackNoneReacher]

why is it irritating?

Not precisely sure but just reading it over and over is making me feel a bit anxious.

toodle pip you say...

[JackNoneReacher]

I presume gamerchick means D major? or I have totes missed the point

[Naoko]

So annoying. 'Chrimbo' is just as bad. Should be a law against it.

and yes, I am unreasonable but it just makes my teeth itch

[BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack]

YANBU....it's awful, almost as bad as people who call their kids their Ikkles.....that makes me

[MmeLindor]

oooh, this thread might have been a mistake. Ikkles [shudder]

[Wheresmycaffeinedrip]

Oh ikkles or "lil man" and chrimbo is asking for a slap :o

[greenhill]

Nope, kiddies is much worse

[Ezza1]

"Funbuster" What a great word!

[FibRolls]

Holibobs! Argh! I have someone on my FB who uses this and it's a very annoying word.
I just tut and roll my eyes though. If it annoys you so much there's always the option of the hide button!

[Skintorama]

Aw you ratbag. I love holibobs.

I can't bear luffly or ickle though.

We wear cardingans in this house due to a DD mispronounce that stuck.

[WillowKnicks]

Never heard of holibobs but I likeebobs very much & am very grateful you have brought this 'word' to my attention just before I go on my very own holibobs...the fun I will now have on the dreaded FB

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

Chrimbo is bad enough
Crimble


But what really brings Mr Knife out of the Sharps Drawer is XMAS

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggghhhhhh.


Feel better now

[superstarheartbreaker]

Oh I like it! Only just heard of it. I can imagine it would grate after a while though.

[Skintorama]

I like the flumpies. Ours are the Chums, and the littlest Chum. And Daisy The Cat, always said as a full moniker.

We are Those People.

[SconeRhymesWithGone]

Is it singular or plural? I need to know in case the question is asked in Pedants' Corner.

[Hullygully]

I love hollibobs

[MooncupGoddess]

Were your hollibobs totes amazeballs, OP?

[Skintorama]

Me too, Hullybobs.
