to want to bite off my own hand if I see the phrase "nom nom" used by and about adults again?

[ClockWatchingLady]

Yes, I am, I know.
But I'd rather play a specially-made CD of DS scraping his nails down the blackboard than see another adult post this phrase on Facebook (and yes, I know, I just shouldn't go on there....).

Om nom nom surely?

AAARGH! My hand is gone.

Err. I might regret asking this, but... I don't facebook so I have never seen this and don't know what it means. What is it?

YANBU. It is insanely irritating. I blame Americans. British people used to say 'Yummy' until about five minutes ago. Which was irritating too, but not as bad...

YANBU "nom nom" is very silly indeed.

"Om nom nom" is however very useful - being highly descriptive.

I'm not guilty of the 'crime' you mention btw, as I haven't got a Facebook account (or a mobile phone or a friend)

It's a phrase used by people to mean 'This is delicious and I want to eat it all'. You have to imagine them saying it with a mouthful of mince pie (or whatever).

The same people say things like, 'I wuv my wuvvly dawta sooooo much', 'bubba', 'hun' and 'hubby'. You know who you are.

Typically, person posts a picture of some food item (normally made by them) and said phrase is used to mean "looks tasty" or similar

'Om nom nom' is a million times better than 'yummy'.

^ for 5Foot

YANBU. It is even worse when preceded by a hashtag, under a picture with a Shitstagram filter on it.

5, it's basically an even more offensively juvenile way of saying 'yummy', as in 'OMG, I gave the biggest piece of chocolate cake sitting in front of me - om nom nom.'

Assuming the 'om nom nom' guff is supposed to approximate the sound of enthusiastic munching...?

Yes. Enthusiastic, loud and irritating munching.

Oh, you're all ace for the yanbus.
Hope you all have really blessed days with your hubbies and bubbas

oops, meant italics not crossed outs

I prefer nom nom to scrummy - that makes me demented

Robot, I'm now vomiting into the waste paper basket

I really love om nom nom, I think it's funny. STILL, even though people have been saying it for ages.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

It's like what Cookie Monster says, and I love him.

Maybe you still have a heart and soul, Join. I think I traded mine in when I joined Facebook.

I have a friend that actually says 'Om nom nom' as she begins to eat anything 'nice'

I don't go for dinner anymore.

Wow, maybe I do!

That's a bit of a turn up for the books :o

When I read your OP all I could imagine was you eating your own hand and going "Om nom nom nom nom nom nom" while you chomped it.

"I have a friend that actually says 'Om nom nom' as she begins to eat anything 'nice' confused

I don't go for dinner anymore."

I'll go for dinner with her!

I'd find that really entertaining.

Me too, I cannot STAND that phrase.
It's on a par with 'woop woop'.

Hate it on FB, I did however do it in public when helping DD2 with her meal in a restaurant. You know the whole opening your own mouth and pretending to chew thing? Did that too. Felt like a total arse when DH pointed it out to me

I agree, it's really cringeworthy.

Not quite as bad as "yay!" though.

That makes me want to excommunicate the poster.

What on earth is wrong with "yay!"?

Fuck, I thought I was a grumpy disagreeable fucker.

I'm like a happy, sparkly, "always look on the bright side" twinkly fairy compared to you lot.
