To fucking hate it when people say "Nom Nom"

[FruitCakey]

EW stop it! I don't want to know that you're "nomming" your food.

Aahhh I love these threads because it makes me feel it's ok to feel murderous about these things. Dp thinks I am soooooo unreasonable to get riled by phrases like him saying "can I get...?" AAARRGGH. But at least he doesn't say Om nom nom. It actually makes me feel squirmy inside and want to run away.

I think part of why I hate it so much is it's not just gross and twee, it's also so unoriginal. I hate the way everyone has to jump on the bandwagon and start using the latest FB in phrase.

Nom nom makes me think of over full mouths for some reason, it's just foul and choking. It was worse when I went away for a holiday and when I came back grown women I actually like couldn't complete a sentence without using 'yummy' changed my opinions of some people I'd thought intelligent before.

I was reminded of this thread earlier today when I saw a photo someone posted on fb of their Hamster.

'Henry nomming his lunch'

Yeah, cute Hamster but the word Nom ruined it.

Yanbu

I hate it too, and also the word amazeballs wtaf!!!!!

tym, dat etc is bizarre. The QWERTY keyboard is designed for maximum efficiency, with all of the most used letters in the easiest to reach places. Y is less easy than i and e, because it's less often used so why do people want to use it an extra time?!

it's terrible.

as is scrummy and yummy

Dh is currently planning to kill his boss as every evening he says, "I wonder what's scrummy on the Aga for me tonight?"

I detest it. It is exponentially worse than yum, which has been around forever.

Am also getting unreasonably peeved with the spread of 'ew' in place of 'ugh' to show disgust. Unless you are American, it is 'ugh'.

"Am also getting unreasonably peeved with the spread of 'ew' in place of 'ugh' to show disgust. Unless you are American, it is 'ugh'."

Yes, this.

It could only ever be ok coming from Cookie Monster

Om Nom!

It sounds horrifically onomatopoeic, but not redolent of food being eaten.

YANBU

Oh YANBU, I hate especially when accompanied by sex noises. Yes I do know someone who does this.....

@Duchesse

"Teenaged"?!?? Can't believe you haven't been pulled up on that - it's even worse than " nom nom"!

Yeah, what's wrong with "teenaged"?

Teenager (n)> a person aged between 13 and 19; Teenaged (adj)> of or pertaining to a person aged 13 to 19; Teenage (n)--> that awkward period of age between 13 and 19.

What would you prefer?

I think it's a misnomer. It sounds like it should be "teen aged" but it's not, teenaged isn't accepted by my spellchecker, anyway. The adjective is teenage. No such noun as teenage. The noun would be the phrase "teenage years" or something else like "adolescence".

Seems to me that both teenage and teenaged have a use: here

I thought I was the only one!

Loathe it. It's infantile and not in a good way. Also the sort of thing Homer Simpson would say (or that woman with the big face in the Diet Chef ad, who says "Chicken curry!" in a repulsive Homer Simpson voice).

i fucking HATE it with a passion.

what's wrong with "Chew chew"? (joke).

if you were in france and people were nosey they might want to know your name, and therefore say it to you. but other than that, it's a load of fucking bollocks. yes, i am in a really bad mood

I couldn't give a toot about "NOM" tbh.

The woman on the diet chef ad makes me laugh though with her portion controlled chicken curry. You could be eating lard in those portion sizes and still lose weight

Today, someone on my Facebook feed posted a video of his pet hamster eating, captioned 'Om nom nom'.

For fuck's sake, man, you are FORTY.

It's a disgusting phrase. It reminds me of pigs at troughs too, slobbering all over their food.
