AIBU to find the word 'cuppa' REALLY IRRITATING?

[BlancheDuBois2]

Ok, so I'm definitely overreacting here, but whenever anyone asks me if I want a 'cuppa' I cringe inside. What's wrong with using real words? Like tea? Or Coffee? Or cup of?

I'm aware that people as grumpy as this don't usually get asked if they'd like a drink of any description, so I should count myself lucky that some people in my office still like me - but everytime anyone utters the word, I want to wince.

I don't know what hideous childhood 'cuppa' experience has scarred me to this extent - but am I alone? Does anyone else want to cause harm to a colleague when they're just being perfectly friendly and offering to make me a tea/coffee.

Having re read this, I almost want to award myself a for being such a twat. I should probably just go home and have some , shouldn't I?

*goals and on a. I clearly need to use that preview button seeing as MNHQ won't give us an edit button

'totes amazeballs'

Jeez

Haven't RTFT so apologies if already mentioned.

Anyone mash their tea?

One set of grandparents used to "have a mash" or "mash the tea" or "leave it to mash". From Nottingham.

I don't mind Brew (but don't say it myself) but hate Cuppa.

My Mil and exh's family used to have chipperley wipperleys with tommy k

another one,
adults referring to someone elses parent as mum or dad rather than YOUR mum or YOUR dad

I look after my friends 3 year old regularly (I like the 3 year old more than the friend) and refuse to baby talk to her, calling crisps crispies for example

Duvet day & Chippy tea..BLEUGGGGH

I REALLY dislike 'hubby'. 'Cuppa' is fine.

Really like Hubby and judge people who use it!
Don't like cuppa or nana either.
However I use pop (referring to fizzy drinks) and it apparently grates with people !

Really don't like.. d'oh

I have a cook book by a Bake Off runner up which has a whole section on 'Cuppa Cakes'. I have never made any of them because the name puts me off so much

That's a great article,

I do have that Nars blusher though.

I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE.

I am also hugely irritated when my SIL comes on holiday with us and offers to make breakfast and says 'would anyone like me to make some scrambled?'

I just want to scream in her face 'scrambled what? Brains?'

Also can't stand it when someone says they are going to 'a hen' or 'a stag.'

Ahhhhh cuppa, brew, spud, bicky, butty , babe, chick ( referring to a girl) , duck ( to address a human) hate hate hate them

Cuppa- I can tolerate, brew- less so!

So called Celebrities calling their bloated belly 'food baby'- now that I hate.

Well, when me mum pops over, I'll offer her a brew and a butty. If she stays later, I might offer to dish up some spag bol for her and we'll have a good old chinwag later on.

My kids used to go in a buggy if it was the fold up type, the other more solid one was a pushchair. A pram was the full bodied one like a Silver Cross.

However, I really don't like hun and the new thing where every single text message has to have an X at the end of it.

Poorly just say sick

i say poorly to be fair, to be sick implies vomit

HATE poorly if not sick then how about ill or unwell?

Oh and tea instead of dinner. Always see on MN. Is it a Northern thing?

YADNBU. Brew is horrendous and gets my hackles up. Ditto hun, why is it not hon?!

I'd say it was a non-pretentious thing.

Mogster yes! The food baby really makes me cringe. Katie Price said it recently and I've seen it on Facebook a few times. Grrrrr!
