sposies for disposable nappies makes me furious, but I probably shouldn't say that on mumsnet Grin

YOLO is baffling, as it seems to be mentioned when the individual is doing something utterly stupid - e.g. 'tomb stoning off the cliffs #YOLO!'. When surely as they acknowledge they only live once, they should be sensible? 'Having a smear test because health is important #YOLO' or 'Studying hard and passing my exams #YOLO' would make much more sense.

I swear far too much. And I say Oh. my. god.

But I work with a group of people who use totes, emosh, amaze etc - because it is ironic and they are sooooo cooool...... They are teachers, for fuck's sake. Annoys the tits off me, but I suspect that is why they do it.

The one that boils my piss is biatch. Just fuck off.

My bad is unbearable.

Make my teeth itch is pretty bloody dreadful too though.

'Cheeky' wine/cocktail/drink is beyond grim.

Salmotrutta · 27/08/2014 18:17

"Picky bits"???

Wouldn't that be scabs?

MiddleAgeMiddleEngland · 27/08/2014 18:18

Virtually all the above make me cross, I refuse to use them, and ostentatiously ignore my teenagers when they use them.

I also hate the tendency of teenagers to shorten their friends' names to end with a z. So Emma becomes Emz, Hatty is Hatz, Catharine is Catz, James is Jiz, etc.

Salmotrutta · 27/08/2014 18:20

They wouldn't really call a James "Jiz" surely MiddleAge?

Jazza would be the Glaswegian Scottish version of that..

Gawjus.
Please learn to spell.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 27/08/2014 18:24

Fashion type ones are terrible

'on trend'
'bikini ready'
'colour pop'

Makes me want to punch something.

CoreyTrevorLahey · 27/08/2014 18:27

I actually have a real aversion to the use of 'surely' at the start of a statement. It just makes me think of pompous twats in Barbour jackets. I don't know why!

Kimaroo · 27/08/2014 18:34

We used to do that in the 60s middleaged! I had friends called Baz, Laz, Gaz, Kaz, Shaz, and Maz, (Barry, Larry, Gary, Karen, Sharon and Marion). That brings back memories!

devoncreamtea · 27/08/2014 18:41

I'm adding 'holibobs' - wtf?!

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 27/08/2014 18:44

Can everyone stop saying MAHOOSIVE please? It's really annoying, just say massive.

devoncreamtea · 27/08/2014 18:50

'nom nom'
puke puke.

thewavesofthesea · 27/08/2014 18:51

I was with someone at work today who used 'Lols' to describe something they found funny. It was then I realised I was in my 30s.

fourforksache · 27/08/2014 18:52

gilbert, yes, it's not innovative or amusing any more, same with cheeky shit and nom noms.

steff13 · 27/08/2014 20:33

I forgot one. Two, actually. "Comfy" and "uncomfy." Comfy bothers me slightly less than uncomfy, but they are both dire. It's not that difficult to say comfortable and uncomfortable.

Like genuinely. Totes.

MiddleAgeMiddleEngland · 27/08/2014 21:03

Salmotrutta I think Jiz is short for Jim, or rather short for Jimz.

Heyho111 · 27/08/2014 21:12

Emotional roller coaster , journey (as in experience) arghhhhhh!!!

CPtart · 27/08/2014 21:16

"Role" instead of just job!

AugustAngst · 27/08/2014 21:22

Blueshoes what's wrong with 'best wishes' ?? Blush

MistressDeeCee · 27/08/2014 21:34

I totally "heart" my amazing boyf (heard on a college campus)...SHUT...UP!!!

PacificDogwood · 27/08/2014 21:37

Has anybody mentioned 'trouser' yet? Singular?
Agree with most of the other although am guilty of using 'natch' in a v cool, post-modern ironic way from time to time Wink

ExitPursuedByAKoalaBear · 27/08/2014 21:40

Comfy is a word.

ExitPursuedByAKoalaBear · 27/08/2014 21:41

Trouser.

Makes me laugh.
