to fucking HATE words like

[JustDontWantToSay]

"totes"
"emosh"
"amazeballs"

and the horror I've just seen on fb....

"appaz" (apparently).

FFS. WHY?????

I catch myself saying
'wind' for end up..
eg I won't drive so fast or we'll wind up in the river

and I do say please may I get a coffee

Oh and "pops" of colour in interior design magazines. What is wrong with splashes?

and achizz

for stuff.

Look at all of the schizz in the attic.

think it kind of, like, means ''shitty stuff''

honeypie - I thought 'look at my lit flower' meant she had set a daffodil on fire or something .

I find my local community notice board is rife with weird spellings which must take as much effort to type as the correct version.

Pls need a fava from u luvvley peeps.. do you want Chianti with that?

What the heck is wrong with eggy bread? What else do you call it?

ChaffinchofDoom - I sometimes use 'wind' - I don't see anything wrong with it.

I don't mind, pressies, spag bol, veggies & a few others.

Some of the others I'd do time to eradicate!

With kids - like/literally I just say, try that sentence again - eventually they stop doing it A look is everything or it might be the meat clever??

And

"at all"

as used by BA staff all the time: "can I get anything for yourself at all?"

and "myself" instead of "me" and "yourself" instead of "you"

My DC's say things are 'beast' when they are good, don't mind that too much.

Can't abide that nom nom nom thing, my best friend of 30 odd years says it and I feel I may just have to say something soon or we will not be best friends for a further 30 years!

exit nothing wrong with eggy bread as a 40year old I've always called it that

My pet hate words are sick and moist.

bae = 'before anyone else'...you know, like, literally the one you love above all others. basically

Thank you give. I am 55 and have always called them eggy bread.

I hate 'tummy'. DH uses it and it makes me want to stab him

Just had to google 'yolo' and 'natch'. I'm 27.

I always thought natch was an aggressive no.

I thought natch was naturally. I'd better go and google incase I've made a fool of myself.

aciddrops I also can not abide 'gotten' It makes me want to scream

People at work sign off "Best". What's that? I swear that is a made up word.

"Best wishes", "all the best", "best regards"?? Argh

I don't usually mind a neologism, but that thread asking 'what kind of sharent are you' had to be hidden.

I thought "sharenting" was short for Shit Parenting.

I always use natch as a short version of naturally, only to be used in certain contexts (more like obviously, than naturally).

Keema!

I've said this before - Boom. I hate the word BOOM to denote completion of trivial tasks, such as; "Boom! Just finished work for the week"

I also dislike conversations that include excessive use of the word "like" or "literally" or "so".

YOLO and totes/amazeballs/emosh deserve a special place in the annuals of literacy hell.

Hubby, Chrimbo, Champers, preggers, soz, my bad...

Totes amazeballs is so awful I quite like it.

Best selling author, OP? Is it Marian Keyes, by any chance?
