Makes me cringe anytime I see it on here aaaaagh. Sad

Only me?

I have found my people, because literally everything mentioned above makes me roll my eyes and mutter cutting remarks under my breath. (Except Jambalaya - quite like that one).

I have had to unfollow someone (who is actually quite a close friend) on my Facebook, because her constant stream of posts "only 3 more sleeps till hollibobs/Chrimbo"; "Chillaxing with my 3 favourite men" "date night with the Hubster" #feeling blessed etc was putting me off her - she is lovely in real life, even though I flinch every time she calls MY DH "the hubby" - or worse, she once referred to my DH and hers collectively as "the hubbies".
Feel a bit bad, because she is genuinely lovely, but seriously, the hubbies!

Grub! "Pub grub" Yuk

Imbeingunreasonable · 16/06/2017 17:36

Laughing at little lady!! I don't know what context you mean it in, but I once knew a woman who referred to her vagina as her little lady

OliveSoap · 16/06/2017 17:47

I once had a friend who referred to food as 'grubchops'. A nice food item was 'a lovely bit of grubchops'. I broke up with her immediately. We were never meant to be.

SapphireStrange · 16/06/2017 17:51

I agree with almost all of these. I love you all.

Sanger is worse than sarnie.

I loathe 'sleeps' too. Fucking grow up.

And roasties. Is it that much harder to say roast potato?

Also 'a wine' and 'a tea' (although why IS that a problem, when 'a coffee' or 'a gin' are perfectly fine? Confused)

I dont' mind 'blondies' though, although the items themselves are always underwhelming.

An FB friend of mine, when she posts about food, says 'Nyummy'. Makes me want to scream.

Getting off this thread now. It's bad for my blood pressure. Grin

OliveSoap · 16/06/2017 17:52

Incidentally, are the people (who statistically must be on here) who cheerfully say that they're economising and so not going for a chippy tea but just having a picky tea at home instead (and maybe a cheeky wine!) with the whole fam-a-lam, and chillaxing with the bubba, Nanna and the furbabies, because the hubster is insisting they save for spends for their holibobs at Crimbo -- are they just lying low??? Grin

Imbeingunreasonable · 16/06/2017 17:57

Haha Olive. I think they're too afraid to admit the truth on here. Although I know some people on MN have recently used sanpro in actual sentences Shock

I only found out today what that meant. Can't believe people actually type it. Sanitary products isn't hard to type.

villainousbroodmare · 16/06/2017 18:02

Mummy is the worst. It's like a heaped spoonful of xylitol drizzled with syrup. Closely followed by mum. And the use of mum's to denote a plural.
Slobber and drool, occasionally used to suggest that something is delicious.
And kiddy/ kiddie.

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 16/06/2017 18:04

No, moist is.

Buxtonstill · 16/06/2017 18:11

Uni. Why not say university? Telly: ditto

RobinHumphries · 16/06/2017 18:13

Walla is

Clembarrass · 16/06/2017 18:17

Ah, just thought of another pet hate - people who refer to their spouse/partner as Mummy or Daddy when talking to a third party (eg me). When this happened to me recently, the children weren't even present, and this woman was cheerfully telling me all about what "Daddy" had been doing. Perhaps she had just read this thread and felt she couldn't call him "hubby"

userblablabla · 16/06/2017 18:28

I hate 'pots' and 'toms'. I don't even know why but I just do.

OliveSoap · 16/06/2017 19:50

I hate 'pots' and 'toms'. I don't even know why but I just do.

Perfectly natural hatred. You usually see them on signs in greengrocers with apostrophes scattered around like hundreds and thousands on a cake.

POT'S 50p!!! TO'MS' £1!!!

SmileEachDay · 16/06/2017 20:47

Also 'a wine' and 'a tea' (although why IS that a problem, when 'a coffee' or 'a gin' are perfectly fine? confused)

Fuuuuck.

My head is imploding. Why IS it different? Confused

SapphireStrange · 17/06/2017 13:42

Sorry, Smile. Grin

Topseyt · 17/06/2017 13:53

Personally, I like sarnies. Don't think I have ever had a sanger in my life. Grin

Sarnies rock.

SapphireStrange · 17/06/2017 14:04

I rather enjoy the greengrocer's apostrophe. I like how inconsistent it usually is e.g. pot's but toms.

And 'avos'. I like that.

You kinky creature. Next you'll be admitting to having a Hubster.

SapphireStrange · 17/06/2017 14:17

Olive, I don't know what a Hubster is and am loath to google it.

But yes, I hold my hands up about the apostrophe. Grin

WritingHome · 17/06/2017 14:20
