To find 'hubster' one of the most annoying words ever?

It's up there will 'hollibobs' for me.

I think the sentence 'off on hollibobs with the hubster' (which I've just seen on FB) might tip me over the edge.

And people who say "are" instead of "our " as in " were going on are holidays in 33 sleeps, 32 sleeps, 31 sleeps " ok I get it now learn how to spell:)

Sipsies?! Shock

KoalaDownUnder · 30/06/2014 01:14

'Then' instead of 'than'. You're smarter then that, surely.

Play date
Date night (with the hubby)

Just say 'going round to play' or 'going out with my husband'. Neither of these things are fucking 'dates', which are things unmarried adults go on.

'Last night was well messi!'

You should only really use that if you play for Argentina and your star player Lionel Messi has had a particularly good game the evening before.

The only acceptable use of 'nom nom nom' (and even then it's not spelled the same, so even better):

Two of my friends go on their "olidaze" every year, they ask me to go every year, I have come up with numerous excuses as to why I can't possibly go, next year I'm going to have to tell them the real reason, I'm not spending my money to go away with 40 something year olds who refer to the holiday as their "olidaze", I just couldn't do it, I would have to bring a weapon and seriously injure the first one who said "olidaze", they think it's fecking hilarious................it isn't

oohdaddypig · 30/06/2014 06:12

Oh yes, how could I forget anyone signing off with LOL.

And it's never in capitals - it's just plonked there, at the end lol.

lavenderhoney · 30/06/2014 06:28

Anniegetyourgun - your comment made me smile which is almost impossible this early in the morning:)

KeepOnPloddingOn · 30/06/2014 06:34

Oh come, BFF is surely the worst! I have two friends. Who always refer to themselves as this now and regularly fb about they are BFFs and their kids are and now even their husbands do it! Their husbands recently hot BFF bracelets.

They have known each other a year- and started it all after a a few months of friendship! I die a little every time I see their tripe.

KoalaDownUnder · 30/06/2014 06:39

KeepOn: Their husbands got matching BFF bracelets? For themselves??

I need you to tell me you made that up.

KeepOnPloddingOn · 30/06/2014 06:45

No koala, I am not.

Dh and I laughed for a long time about it. A pic was posted on fb too. They are honestly a laughing stock. They're nice people, but this side of them really embarrasses me profoundly.

Florabeebaby · 30/06/2014 07:35

The boy (when referring to husband) Urgh.

MrsHoolie · 30/06/2014 07:44

A friend of mine on FB always finishes her status update with kisses. It really pisses me off.

'Just had a meal with the hubster on our date night,nom nom nom XXX'

Argh.

Also when people tag their husband/partner to wish them Happy birthday or Happy anniversary when they're probably sitting next to them.

harryhausen · 30/06/2014 07:47

I loathe with a passion the phrase "wine o'clock". People think they're so funny. They're not.

IamMummyhearmeROAR · 30/06/2014 07:52

My 6 year old has taken to calling her father 'dadward'. No idea why. His name isn't Edward.

MissOtisRegretsMadam · 30/06/2014 08:00

Hanging still makes me cringe... Cutesy or not! Your only saving one letter... May as well just use the full word.

KirjavaTheCat · 30/06/2014 08:07

My poncey FIL says nibble. Like in a casual setting. "Before we leave I'm just going grab a little nibble to eat" - makes me wince.

Oh and when we're having dinner and I'm serving he'll hold his plate out and say, "food me!" Angry

CitronVert · 30/06/2014 08:25

People who end every update with 'haha'

'Just got in from work. Wine o'clock methinks haha!'

I also have a friend who says cool beans. He also does lots of things 'for shits and giggles'.

FergusSingsTheBlues · 30/06/2014 08:33

My sister talk about going "to a do"
It's quaint
But v v v v annoying. She a,so does the whole "hey guys" before saying something really inflammatory

overthemill · 30/06/2014 08:35

I thought the 'D' in the irritating MN abbreviations meant 'dear' as in 'dear husband' 'dear children '. I find the 'DSIL' type abbreviations so fucking trite. Snyway back to the point: never heard. 'Hubster' what does it mean?

OnIlkelyMoorBahtat · 30/06/2014 08:41

(Many apologies KirjavaTheCat, but I think "food me!" is brilliant. Or, in another irritating cringe-wording, "hilaire"...)

Kikaninchen · 30/06/2014 08:50

I have very boring Facebook friends, none of them post anything half so unintentionally entertaining. Bet they are all MNers.

Actually I did have one who posted lots of darkly cryptic statuses hinting at a less than good mood. Cue lots of "Whts wrong hun????" "Don't let em get to u babes" "O no hop u OK hunni????xxxxx" which became a little monotonous as it was every day, so I has to hide her.

buddles · 30/06/2014 08:53

I've been guilty of quite a few of these in the past.
The thing that really annoys me though is bad spelling especially the intentional kind like 'messi' as someone mentioned - I mean WHY? It's not shortening it, it's just changing a letter? Spell properly ffs!

As for 'wine o'clock' or even pictures of hands holding a glass of wine... Argh.

Glad I'm not on FB anymore. Grin

IWokeUpLikeThis · 30/06/2014 09:21

My absolute worst is 'prinny' which is princess
Especially when men call it to their wives or girlfriends!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 30/06/2014 09:25

Oh but the 'D' prefix for husband, wife, son, daughter, etc. can stand for anything, can't it? I never read 'Darling' when I see it.

Dreadful (most oft)
Disgusting
Delirious
Deranged
Dastardly

Lots of lovely 'D' words there and much more appropriate. Grin
