I hate the abbreviation 'lil'. Eg 'I love my lil' girl'.
It gives me the rage. For me it is in the same box as 'hun', 'hubby' and 'bubs'.
It's creeping with alarming frequency onto my FB feed.

I am fully prepared to be told IABU, but I don't care Grin

Hell no! I hate any infantilised speech, makes my skin crawl. I've dumped people in the past for lovey-dovey baby talk.
I'm on a very blunt talking sweary fb group and a new person started posting and signing off every post "loadsa luv", "lottsa luv", "luv 'n' kisses. That didn't last long...

There is a pram range I've seen around called Ickle Bubba. Wtaf!? Hmm

Yeah that'd be a de-friend crime for me. Or if you are family/political FB mum-from-school then a "hide".

Yes yes & yes to all the above! Grin

The Prince & Princess thing does my head in, if any of my friends refer to my children as that they get a sharp look Angry

I really can't cope with all of them. YANBU. Its bad enough coming from a teen but when you've got your friends gran commenting on a FB post it just seems worse Confused

People who whinge on all week how they "Can't wait for Sat nite" then post their "piccies" of said "nite out". Which is always them in the same pub with sake people in a different top.

"Lil",drives me insane, and my cousin is incessant with it as her son is "Husby Jr."

She also says husby.

An ex colleague used to post photos of her 'gorjuss nephiew'

I never understood if the nephiew spelling was an attempt to be cute or if she genuinely couldn't spell it.

BoSelectaBigBiff · 30/08/2016 15:58

Also Sainsbos. I hate that too. Along with everything else everyone has listed.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 30/08/2016 16:19

I call Sainburys Sainsburgers. It's not an attempt to be cute though.

MaureenMLove · 30/08/2016 16:41

You've all missed one! (Unless I skimmed too fast and I missed it?Hmm)

How about, 'love you all the world'. WTF is that? It's not even a bloody sentence.
