Settle an argument I am having with DH

DH keeps saying 'Righty Cokey' whenever he is expressing that he understands, it's a 'hilarious' mix of 'Righty-o' and 'Okey cokey'. I have suffered this for several weeks now, but have tonight said that if he says it again I will, with great regret, have no choice but to LTB.

He thinks I am a spoilsport and 'Righty Cokey' is innovative and amusing, but says that if the Mumsnet jury says so, he will desist from using the expression.

Mumsnet, for the love of God, AIBU?

Does he snore, though?

slithytove · 03/06/2014 21:32

YANBU, LTB

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 03/06/2014 21:32

You start saying "you bet your sweet pink patootie" and see how long he lasts.

redexpat · 03/06/2014 21:32

Just LTB.

samsam123 · 03/06/2014 21:32

what a prat and you are still married to him wow :) spray him with some obnoxious next time he does it

RhondaJean · 03/06/2014 21:34

I am with your DH.

It's nice to see independent thinking and it should be encouraged.

LettertoHerms · 03/06/2014 21:34

Dear god how have you shown such restraint. He's been given warnings You have the patience of a saint, Claire.

DP would have been out the door seconds after his first utterance. With something sharp in his eye.

Yanbu.

Doinmummy · 03/06/2014 21:34

I agree kill him dead immediately , if not sooner

WorraLiberty · 03/06/2014 21:34

OP, please tell me your DH sounds like Gordon Brittas when he says it?

It's just the image I have in my head Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 03/06/2014 21:34

It is innovative but NOT amusing outside of his own head.

JustSquirted · 03/06/2014 21:34

Several weeks?
You're a saint.

SanityClause · 03/06/2014 21:35

It's too late - he's shown his true colours, now.

You have to LTB.

ScrambledSmegs · 03/06/2014 21:35

I was once at a motorway service station cafe where a loud, annoying man was having a long phone conversation where almost every sentence was punctuated with 'Hokey Cokey' in a broad Lancashire accent*

Everybody around him looked pissed off. Everybody. Including his poor companion who was roundly ignored by Hokey Cokey twat for his entire lunch break.

I swear we were seconds away from having a Murder on the Orient Express moment. And that is why you are NBU.

*Burnley, I believe.

GatoradeMeBitch · 03/06/2014 21:35

The okey cokey is a dance, okey dokey is a saying.

So get him to say righty dokey, it's not such an abomination.

LettertoHerms · 03/06/2014 21:35

Rhonda Are you ok?

Oh god that is sooooo annoying. Can we make up an EVEN more annoying retort to say back at him when he says it....
Maybe 'fuck off dickwad' might work?

Hahaha at innovative !

YANBU.

clairewitchproject · 03/06/2014 21:40

Update: He has seen the error of his ways.

He is now going to say 'righty dokey'

Reply by pointing at him and going 'Tiny willy, pokey pokey'.

It will soon be a thing of the past!!

SmashleyHop · 03/06/2014 21:41

My DH thinks your DH is some kind of genius. I suggest we do a "Strangers on a Train" plot and take care of this before it spreads further.

FourEyesGood · 03/06/2014 21:43

Just to add my support and sympathy, YANBU. Ugh.

Righty dokey is far less awful though

NeedsAsockamnesty · 03/06/2014 21:48

LTB twice once for the first crime against civilisation the second for his reparation attempt

TheGrandHighWitch · 03/06/2014 21:49

Urgh, there is nothing worse than stupid ridiculous made up words (or phrases in this case). Just bloody stop it with all your shamazing and your totes amazeballs crap. If you can't string a proper sentence together without making up crap to try to look 'cool' then don't bother for f**k sake. Angry

I may be slightly annoyed about this already today....

MrclairewitchprojectOH Stop annoying people for the sake of it or we will help clairewitchproject get revenge!
