MIL calls DN her 'little king' because he's the only grandson and therefore far superior to her granddaughters.

DD3 is only 7 and has already perfected a wonderful eye roll when she hears it

I thought of another one:

Using team to describe your family

"Team smith are off to the beach with Team Jones!!!"

Fuckwits!!!

heavens my family and my brother's family do it when we're out together because a mash up of our two surnames makes a delightful rude word.

I don't use cuz but my cousin calls me it and I quite like it.

I call my sis my "skin and blister" Grin

My brothers call me sis, I call them bruv and little bruv.

My male cousin is cuz, I use their names if female (don't know why)

My 15 yo calls us all fam.

My 10yo has a crew, squad is lame apparently.

I use 'hun' to a few of my friends Blush

Here in the American South, Sissy and Bubba for sister and brother are common to the point that they can become the person's universal nickname. I have a friend who has an Aunt Sissy. Her real name is Ruth.
And then, of course, there is the American golfer Bubba Watson.

Squad is so last year - apparently its clan now Grin

Squad,goals,team etc do not bother me in the slightest however when I see grown woman call their friends, bestie, bae etc really gets on my nerves
