to be riled

[Waimaz]

when people say they are wearing a 'onsie' it is fuckin ONESIE not onsie???

Do you mean spoken or written?

I think adults who wear a onesie have bigger issues than their spelling.

Quite

It's treated like a magic e word. When you add a suffix that starts with a vowel, you drop the e. When you add a suffix that starts with a consonant you keep the e.

Eg:
place + ing = placing
place + ment = placement

'One' isn't truly a magic e word but it looks like one so I think we just apply the rule to it for that reason.

I read 'onsie' with a hard 'o' because there's no vowel to soften it.

Non-onesie-wearer here, they're far too sweaty.

I think there are certain words that grate when spoken wrongly or even just differently. My DH pronounces patronising as 'patron-ising' putting the implication on patron. Really pisses me off, it's 'patronising' all on one tone level.

On a onesie note, there's now a twosie too isn't there? Are all onesies just one piece with a zip or do some have butt flaps for easy peeing?

Since we are onto bad spelling, my friend spelling, "Lying" and "Dying" "Lieng" and Dieng"

Really winds me up.

It annoys me more that people have decided to change the name altogether. It's not a 'Onesie' its a 'Kigurumi' or 'kigu'. They started out as Japanese animal costumes, became reasonably popular over here for festivals and were then seized upon and renamed.

They should go back to school or collage

Fuck me, just writing it is annoying.

My dd came home from shopping yesterday with a Nighty Onesie, I have never seen one before and she is well impressed with it, I have just been looking online to see if I can find one but to no joy.

I've seen it spelled wunzi. A whole new level of horror.

Gird your loins, OP.

Isn't a Nighty Onesie and adult-sized babygro?

Is it nighty or nightie?

I think MidniteScribbler may have hit the nail on its head.

It is a 'Nightshirt' I can not find one online and can not prize it off dd to take a pic so here is a pic of the tag. It is basically a huge long sleeved, fleece, down to the knees, with mouse ears hood and a huge pocket at the front.

I have a strappy pj onesie. A tracksuity type onesie and 2 over pj ones. One with feet and one without. I assume they are over pj ones as when I've tried to sleep in them I've actually cooked. And btw midnight I don't have 'problems'

midnite and 'issues' sorry.

Catscanttwerk you can get them in primark in adult sizes.

There was a time when there was no central heating (and that's not so long ago) and, in Dickensian times, people went to bed wearing a nightshirt (men), night hats and bedsocks,

I wear bedsocks and they save on heating water for hot water bottles - a Godsend.

For the last 20 years and thanks to my late DH I have worn nothing in bed

A onesie is just another commercialised fashion trend. I saw my step-granddaughter in one. I complimented her but really thought it was dreadful.

One of my friends uses the term onesie instead of selfie :-) but how can someone say "onsie" unless you mean they are pronouncing it "on zee"?
